Vintage Wedding Dress Portrait in Oil

I've been busy as a bee this summer not only on several commissions, but my husband was given a job promotion so we packed up & moved from Michigan to Kentucky! Enjoying a fresh start in a new place & one that isn't too far from 'home'...only 6 hours from Michigan. This is a piece I just finished of a vintage wedding dress. If you or someone you know is getting married, already married, celebrating an anniversary, why not have a portrait done of their wedding dress! I also do portraits of the cake, wedding shoes, and bouquet! Feel free to contact me or visit my store on etsy!

Inspired by Vera Wang

Vera Wang is by far my favorite dress designer...I don't think there is a dress I don't like or love of hers! The 4th photo shows a recent commission I did for a customer of a dress by Vera Wang's White Collection available at David's Bridal. The ruffles were a challenge, but I am thrilled with the end result. If you or someone you know is getting married, or celebrating an anniversary, why not commission a custom wedding dress painting? Feel free to contact me or visit my store on etsy. A great gift idea!

Love is in the Air...

I've been crazy busy the past few weeks with several commissions, including this wedding dress portrait of a dress by Alfred Angelo (Sapphire Style 870)...absolutely LOVE this dress & am so pleased with how this piece turned out! We are also preparing to move in 2 weeks to Kentucky! I reckon I will need to brush up on my horse painting skills! If you are interested in having a portrait done of your wedding dress or know a bride-to-be feel free to contact me and/or visit my website at Studio Lara to view more of my work!
