    You will love working with Talia!

    Our experience with Talia was the best I can imagine! We arranged the live painting at the wedding reception for our son and new daughter-in-law. Talia had already scouted out the venue and painted the overall background and setting (first dance on the pier at Lake Tahoe at sunset). During the reception, she added the details, including the bride and groom, and at the end of the reception, she had completed a stunning painting! The bride and groom were thrilled, the guests loved being able to watch Talia create this lovely work. Highly recommend Talia! We live in VA. I hope that when my other children get married, we can arrange for her to come east!

    Amazing Paintings!

    We hired Talia to live paint at our wedding at Valhalla in Lake Tahoe on June 4, 2021, and it was the best decision we made!! I cannot even begin to describe how talented she is, but she truly captured the most important people to us perfectly in her painting of our ceremony, along with all the beauty of Tahoe we wanted her to capture. She also completed a magnificent painting of my husband and I dancing during our wedding. The details in her paintings are just amazing! She was so easy to work with when we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID. She even did a separate little painting for us to use for our "change the date" cards because of it. She was just wonderful from the beginning to end, and sent us some cards with our paintings on them as well, which we were able to use as "thank you" cards for our guests. Our guests raved about how cool it was to see her painting live and how talented she is. Do yourself a favor and hire Talia! You will not be disappointed!!

    Talia Koval Live Wedding Painting

    Talia is beyond talented. She captured the essence of my daughters wedding in the most beautiful museum quality painting. Looking at it transports is back to the moment. In addition Talia also produced a surprise water color because she was very inspired by the view. These paintings will be admired and enjoyed for many generations to come.

    A Special Day That Lives In Every Brush Stroke.

    At the time of our daughters wedding we did not consider a painting, only photography however when contemplating what first anniversary gift to give, a painting of the event came to mind. Through the venue we found Talia Koval and very much liked her artwork. Talia was commissioned to produce a painting that captured that special day and boy did she do just that, all within a 3 week period. We, and our daughter and son-in-law are overjoyed with the result. Fantastic job Talia, and thank you for producing this everlasting treasure for our family that says more than a photograph could ever say or do.

    Amazing art lady

    There's nothing more heart warming to see your loved ones daily. Talia creates master pieces of your loved ones and does just that, warm your heart when you visually see her work. I had a few paintings created from photographs from my wedding, and it just looks sooo much more artistic and beautiful when you know someone hand painted your image and your loved one. Her work is so on point, it literally looks like yourself in the painting! I had her create a painting of myself and my late grandpa, and now I can see this painting of "us" everyday, when I wasn't able to hold this image before. Talia is so kind, amazing, and prompt in her work ethics, she gained a client for life with me. Reach out to her, you won't be disappointed! xo M

    Having Talia Koval live-paint at my daughter's wedding was one of my best decisions ever! She is a wonderful, extremely talented painter and captured the wedding couple's expression during their first dance perfectly (as well as the parents, wedding party and other guests). The finished painting truly took my breath away. I knew, from seeing samples of her work, that it would be gorgeous but somehow it even exceeded my expectations. And another thing - Talia took the time to get to know my daughter and I months before the wedding (via face time). Now that's what I call being a professional. In addition she was friendly and welcoming to any of our guests who stopped by to observe her at work and to ask questions. I am beyond thrilled!!! Thank you Talia for capturing my daughter and son-in-law's wedding and for being there. You are amazing!

    My experience with Talia was INCREDIBLE!! We talked a few months before my wedding about my vision and my story and it was so nice getting to know Talia and having Talia get to know me. Having Talia paint at my wedding was such an amazing addition to our reception. Our friends and family still talk to us about it! Talia was so quick to respond and made sure our painting came to us when we were home from our honeymoon! Everything about Talia and her painting just really highlighted our wedding and it is so special to have!

    I cannot begin to explain how amazing and talented Talia is! Working with her during our wedding was a pleasure. My husband and I decided to get a live painting of our wedding reception because we felt that we're going to have a lot of pictures but a painting is a unique memory to have. The live painting is not just a painting though. The experience of having Talia paint in the banquet hall was the talk of the party. Everyone was amazed as she was painting and she was interacting with our guests. As the night progressed so did the painting and the end product was INCREDIBLE! She captured every little detail of our first dance and the surroundings. If you are thinking about a unique addition to your wedding or event you will not regret having Talia paint for you!

    My wife and I were looking to do something very special for my sister's wedding. We decided on a live painting and searched online to find an artist that we felt make beautiful art and would represent the new couple well. We found Talia Koval and reached out to her. Her paintings are full of color and life-like expression. Not only was she immediately responsive, but she took a real interest in getting to know the couple and their story. On the wedding day she painted a beautiful scene, very true to form. She also painted 2 smaller pieces (free of charge) for moments that she felt were very emotional and would make lasting memories (first dance and father-daughter dance). It was also fun for the wedding guests to watch her create the works in real time. She is a beautiful artist and the value you receive is incredible. I would recommend her to anyone.

    Nataliya created a magnificent painting that captured one of the most important moments in our lives! All the guests couldn't stop talking about the painting and were amazed at the details!

    Having Nataliya at our event was very special and the painting we received will be cherished forever as it is truly one of a kind. She was professional before, during and after our event and what we ended up with went beyond our expectations. All of our guests were amazed at the experience of a live painter and most had never seen anything like it. Nataliya is very talented and we were lucky to have her be a part of our event.

    Having Talia Koval ( aka Nataliya) create my wedding portrait was by the far the best decision my husband and I made. The portrait Talia made for us is just exquisite, her attention to detail, capturing the essence of my wedding beautifully, incorporating my ceremony and reception in a single canvas-We were blown away! I absolutely love my piece and every time I look at it, it takes me back to my wedding day and I am reliving the happiest day of my life. Thank you Talia for this priceless portrait, this will be treasured forever!

    I was in search of a live painter to capture our wedding for quite a while, but wasn't sure it would all work out. Our caterer provided Nataliya's contact info, and from the moment we connected via email I knew booking her for our wedding was going to be the best decision ever. She was professional, kind, and asked all the right questions beforehand to make sure she delivered exactly what we were looking for.

    At the wedding the guests LOVED her presence, as did we. Throughout the entire wedding she was painting, interacting with guests, answering their questions, all with a smile. She was truly the highlight of our day, and we are so happy with her painting of our wedding ceremony that we got to take home that night!

    All of our guests had never seen a live painter before, and our wedding venue was so impressed that they are hoping to see her at another wedding someday soon. Thank you so much Nataliya for helping make our wedding day even more special! If you're considering a live painter, please do yourself a favor and reach out to Nataliya.

    Cheers, Melissa and Spencer- 8/28/16

    I hired Nataliya for my wedding when I saw her work at a friend's wedding. Her work is amazing! In fact, she was the first vendor I booked! She captured our first dance and it's perfect! You won't regret hiring her and having the masterpiece that she'll create for you!

    Thank you so much Licet! Your wedding was very creative, unique, hip and fun! I enjoyed painting for you and hope you will enjoy it for years to come!

    We thoroughly enjoyed working with Nataliya! She performed a live painting of my son and daughter-in-law's first dance at their wedding as a surprise gift from me and my husband. The finished piece is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! And, as an added bonus, she is a complete joy to work with...so pleasant and accommodating. I wish I knew when my younger son's were going to get married so that I could "pre-book" Nataliya!

We discussed ideas of what we wanted, but what we ended up with far exceeded our expectations.

She has a beautiful gift and we were lucky to have her be a part of our wedding day.

    Overall, I love our painting. Nataliya was very accomodating and worked with my wedding planner to ensure she was in a good spot for the best painting. She incorporated all the different highlights of my wedding and the finished product is up in our house. It was one of the very first pictures we hung up. I really appreciated the attention to detail and ease of working with her. I would recommend her for any wedding that my friends had

    We had such a wonderful experience with Natalyia. She was flexible, worked directly with my wedding planner and gave our wedding a uniqueness. I dont think most of the guests knew she was there, but the painting she created captured all of the highlights of our wedding and we really enjoyed the experience. She was professional, very responsive and the turn around time afterward was perfect. I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for a special memory from your wedding that is so special and cant be replaced
