Live Wedding Painting | Watercolor Guest Illustrations | St. Louis, Missouri + Destination Weddings
Hi, I'm Cheyenne! I'm a St. Louis-based live wedding painter and watercolor guest portrait artist who believes the most meaningful parts of a wedding day are often the moments nobody planned for. I think God has so many beautiful stories He tells through life's small moments...
Those are the moments I love to preserve.
My journey as an artist began long before weddings entered the picture, but I quickly fell in love with the idea that art could become more than decoration—it could become a way to hold onto a memory. Today, I create live wedding paintings and guest portraits that capture not just what your day looked like, but what it felt like.
My style blends romantic storytelling with painterly realism: soft brushwork, beautiful light, movement, and emotion, all woven together into artwork that feels timeless and alive.
When I'm not painting weddings, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband and children, out in nature, homeschooling, having a cup of coffee with a friend, or chasing inspiration in everyday moments that most people walk right past.
Because at the end of the day, that's what my work is really about:
Finding the beauty in the small moments, too.
I'd be honored to tell your story in paint.
It’s fairly uncommon for an artist to have a business name that isn’t their name because you’re trying to have your name be your brand or “mark”. But I always wanted whatever I created to be more than just “Cheyenne” or something that I was creating. I want my art to point towards something. My hope is that it points to the Creator of all things.
I started this business in the midst of 2020, when seemingly every major moment was taken from people. Weddings, baby showers, birthdays, and even births were being celebrated in solitude. During a time of big moments being squandered, I began appreciating the small moments that much more.
Now I’ve always been someone that LOVES celebrating and making memories out of all the little things, but 2020 really amplified that and made me grateful for every small moment. The big moments matter, but the small moments do too…sometimes even more. And thus, the name was born. If you're here reading this then I feel like you probably feel the same way.
