Planning a micro wedding? You’re in for something intimate, intentional, and incredibly special. This post explores why live art activations like watercolor guest portraits, calligraphy, and engraving are perfect for micro weddings.

I debuted my live wine watercolor guest portraits at the stunning L’Angolo Estate in Newberg, Oregon. In collaboration with Benable, this intimate brand activation brought together 50 of Portland’s top influencers for an evening of wine, bites, and one-of-a-kind keepsakes. Over the course of three hours, I created 50 portraits—each painted using L’Angolo’s Reserve Pinot Noir.

On May 10, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Sun Dreams Productions for a special Mother’s Day activation at Nordstrom, featuring House of Creed. Shoppers who purchased a fragrance were treated to a live watercolor experience where I hand-painted florals directly on their gift boxes—and let me tell you, it was such a fun, fast-paced, and feel-good day.
