Love Notes

“I found Sydney after she popped up on my Instagram feed, and as soon as I clicked into her profile I messaged her right away to see if she was available. From the start she was so easy to plan with—responsive, friendly, and clear about everything. She arrived at our wedding venue ahead of schedule (such a pleasant surprise!) and set up seamlessly. With everything going on that day, having someone who could jump right in without any questions or issues was a huge stress reliever. Our guests absolutely loved the surprise, and her artwork was incredible. The attention to detail—especially on the dresses—and the added touches of sparkle made each piece truly beautiful. I have nothing but positive things to say about Sydney and her professionalism. We highly, highly recommend her! ”

“Where do I even start! Sydney is such a talented artist and the sweetest soul. From the moment she arrived at our wedding to the moment we packed up to leave, she was sprinkling her magic—capturing every little detail of our day in the most beautiful way. Watching her create was truly enchanting! She managed to complete a large portion of the portraits right there during the wedding, and her timing and professionalism when delivering the remaining pieces were perfect. So many of our guests mentioned how much they loved her artwork—it became such a meaningful and memorable part of our celebration. Her paintings were not just art, but a heartfelt thank-you and gift that everyone cherished. Sydney, thank you for sharing your talent and helping make our day so special!”

“We hired Studio Wride for our 230-person wedding in Seattle, WA, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Sydney is incredibly talented and efficient. Her live watercolor portraits amazed everyone. Beyond her skill, she is such a joy to work with: kind, calm, and genuinely engaging with each guest. Our friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved her and the unique keepsakes she created for them. If you’re looking for a way to elevate your event and give your guests something they’ll cherish for a lifetime, this is it. We highly recommend Sydney and Studio Wride!”
