- Bride, married at the U.S. Supreme Court Building

Jamie Peterson is extraordinary. She did a live painting of our wedding reception, which was enormous fun for all of our guests. It was a subtle, elegant and extremely unique form of entertainment. But it was also much more than that. Of all of the images captured that day, Jamie's gorgeous painting is the most enduring. The attention to detail and the sheer magnitude of the work is awe-inspiring. Afterwards, Jamie created fabulous thank-cards fashioned from high quality copies of the painting, and she individually signed each one. Each guest received a "work of art" as well as a lovely remembrance of the day. On top of all of this, Jamie is an absolute dream to work with. She takes care of all of the details. She is perfect and gracious. Having her as part of our day was certainly one of the highlights of our celebration. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

"Jamie was such a joy to work with! She's very easy going and can adapt to anything when needed. I do hope to work with her again in the future!"

Jamie is all around fantastic—an amazing artist (in a variety of styles), great communicator & just a really pleasant person to be around! She's easy to talk to, brings a cool & collected presence to the wedding painting planning process. She fully understood what details we wanted captured from our wedding. Not to mention that she posted up in the thick of the event and our guests adored that—we received photos of her work mid-painting & many positive comments about her being there to capture the evening.

My daughter got married at our lake home and it was an exceptional event. We wanted to give them a unique gift to capture the energy of that special day. Jamie did not disappoint! She did the most beautiful rendition of the married couple following the vows that was extraordinarily moving. Her detailed artistry was excellent and it was exactly what we had hoped for to commemorate the event. She not only painted my daughter and her husband but also my niece that was the flower girl. These made timeless gifts that were greatly appreciated. We ordered several notepads of these projects that we gave as family gifts following the event. Jamie is an extremely talented artist that we highly recommend for a special occasion, special gift or even to treat yourself to a unique piece of art for your home.

I wanted a special gift for my husband for our 3 year wedding anniversary. I heard from a friend about Jamie and her amazing talent to capture special moments in the "old masters way"- Oil painting. Jamie was very easy to talk to, she made the process and the picture selection so easy that I had no doubt that it would turn out as something amazing. And oh boy how beautiful it was! I had a hard time waiting to show my husband and surprise him with such a special gift. He loved it as much as I did and today it hangs in our house where everyone can see it and we get a lot of compliments! Every time I look at it, it warms my heart in such way that I do not think a photograph would manage to do. There is just something special, mystical and magical about an oil painting of your own wedding day. Jamie did such a great job and I would recommend her work to anyone who wants to own a unique piece of art that is close to one’s heart.

Jamie gave us something priceless when she painted our wedding reception. We love the final product and so do our guests who received prints as thank you cards. Jamie was a true professional in every respect. I'm using her again to produce a special anniversary gift!

Jamie Peterson is a wonderful oil painter and she is also a wonderful human being. My partner and I hired Jamie on the recommendation of a friend who contracted Jamie for a corporate event painting. We are so glad we did so. Jamie's painting of our wedding reception hangs in our living room. It is beautiful - full of thoughtful color, design and composition. We cannot recommend Jamie enough!

Jamie is a fantastic painter. She did a panoramic landscape for our wedding in the Virginia countryside this summer. I couldn't be happier. Her choice of colors and and her ability to express movement is superb. Book her fast before she's committed!

Thank you so much, Jamie. We appreciate everything you’ve done to make our special day so memorable. It was the exact personal touch that we knew we wanted to incorporate into our day and is still one of the most talked about things from the wedding. It was a pleasure working with you!
