Rave Reviews
“My husband and I found Jamie a while back when we originally wanted to have a live painter at our wedding. We thought having a special keepsake from our wedding would be amazing to place in our home after our wedding! Having Jamie at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made – look no further!!!
Jamie and Amanda from the first time I spoke to them were so kind and amazing to speak to. I had a consultation with Jamie and he explained about his process and I could tell the passion he puts into his work while we were on the phone. We knew we had to hire him!! Jamie and Amanda were even SO flexible when we had to change our wedding date due to COVID-19. No hesitations they worked with us and were so flexible. Amanda always gave my husband and I such words of encouragement going through a wedding during a pandemic. She was so so kind.
The day of our wedding Jamie was there and started capturing the moment. My husband and I were absolutely FLOORED (jaws dropped) when we saw our portrait towards the end of the night. The painting was as if it was a photograph!!! Absolutely beautiful and stunning!! Jamie is so talented and we are SOO happy we hired Jamie and Amanda!! If you’re looking for a gem to have for years to come, and something that will really impress your guests- book Jamie!! Thank you so much Jamie and Amanda!! Xo”

“DO THIS! Hire this guy and you will not be disappointed. Jamie went above and beyond in many ways and was a true joy to work with. Having said that, his talent outshines his service, we love our painting and get so many compliments on it hanging in our dining room. A+++++”

“One of the best decisions we made! Jamie is a must at your wedding!!! The final painting is perfect and we’re using it for our thank you cards 🙂 Jamie was a wonderful addition to our wedding. Everyone loved watching him paint throughout the night! He is so kind and talented; a perfect combo! We highly recommend Jamie if you’re considering a live event painter!”

“Jamie Pogue is an incredibly talented artist. A live painter was a surprise wedding gift from my parents and we are so thankful they found Jamie. His painting of our first dance of us as husband and wife was not only done quickly, it was picture perfect. Our guests couldn’t get enough of him and loved seeing him in action. We can’t wait to hang our painting up at home. It will forever be one of the best, most unique gifts we’ve ever received. Thank you, Jamie, for giving us this beautiful artwork as the perfect way to remember the best day of our lives, and thank you for being a special part of it!”
