We Won!
Best Live Wedding Painter/Illustrator 2025 – Minnesota Bride Best of Awards
Tuesday night at The Fillmore in Minneapolis was one for the books—and we’re still glowing from it!
We’re beyond honored (and still pinching ourselves!) to share that we won the Minnesota Bride Best of Award for Best Live Wedding Painter/Illustrator 2025.
This recognition means the world to us because it comes from within our own industry, among peers and professionals we deeply admire.
Out of the three talented artists nominated in our category, we are incredibly grateful to be recognized. The level of creativity and passion in the world of live wedding artistry continues to grow, and we feel lucky to be part of such an inspiring movement that blends fine art with unforgettable moments.
The evening itself? Pure magic. The Fillmore was buzzing with energy and elegance as vendors from every corner of the wedding world came together to celebrate the heart of what we do—creating beautiful, meaningful experiences for couples on one of the most important days of their lives.
And this year’s theme? “The Sky’s the Limit.” It couldn’t have felt more fitting. Being surrounded by so many passionate, creative professionals reminded us just how far this industry has come—and how limitless the possibilities are moving forward. From incredible floral designers and planners to caterers, DJs, photographers, and beyond, the entire event was a stunning showcase of collaboration. Every detail—from the decor to the entertainment—was brought to life by wedding pros who generously donated their time and talents to make the night unforgettable.
We danced, laughed, and hugged familiar faces and we left feeling recharged and inspired.
Huge congratulations to all of this year’s winners and nominees! We are constantly amazed by the talent, passion, and heart in this community. Being recognized among such excellence in the wedding industry and specifically in live wedding artistry..is a true honor.
To our incredible clients, fellow vendors, and supportive community: THANK YOU. This award is for all of you who have welcomed us into your special days and trusted us to turn your love into art.
We’re heading into the rest of 2025 with full hearts and lifted eyes—because if this night reminded us of anything, it’s that the sky truly is the limit. And as for what’s next? We’re shooting for the stars.
Thank you Minnesota Bride // Iron Diamond Media for making all this possible!
