The Fashion-Forward Faces Behind Every Brushstroke

Get to know Danison

and the lead artists bringing Bowtie & Brush to weddings across the country

Full transparency: painting live at weddings wasn’t always the plan. I used to do wedding signage and stationery, but it broke my heart a little. Every detail was painted in my studio, every client meeting was done over video chat, I dropped in to set up while everyone got ready, and was gone before I could even get a glimpse of the dress. So I traded save-the-dates for a paintbrush.

I’m a former Disney accountant, so obviously there’s a spreadsheet behind all of this, but on-site it’s just me capturing how fabulous you look while obsessing over outfits and getting way too invested in your love story. I split my time between Portland and Orlando with an incredible crew of lead artists across the country bringing that same energy to cities I can’t be in myself. I hand-pick every one of them for personality first, skill second, and I personally train each of them, so keep scrolling. You’ll want to meet them.

I’m happily married to my husband Josh, a very proud papa to Emmy (a rambunctious human), and I will absolutely talk your ear off about Naruto if you let me.
