Live wedding painting by Ruth Oneya at Huntsville Botanical Garden in Huntsville, Alabama

Some places I get to know one wedding at a time, and Huntsville Botanical Garden has become one of those places. I’ve painted four weddings here since 2022. Let’s take a look.



Megan and Aaron

May 2024

Megan and Aaron were married at their church and continued their reception in Isenberg Grand Hall at Huntsville Botanical Garden. Their painting came from an image I took during their couple portraits with their photographer. I gave them this moment as an option because I loved the way they leaned into each other as Aaron kissed Megan’s forehead. They loved it too, and that connection became the focus of the painting.

Kennedy and Terence

May 2024

Just one week before Megan and Aaron’s wedding, Kennedy and Terence celebrated at the Celebration Garden. Their painting also came from an image I took during their couple portraits with their photographer. I loved how sweet the moment felt, with the two of them looking at each other in front of the beautiful drapery set up for their ceremony.

The background included so many shades of white, cream, and champagne, which made differentiating each color one of the most challenging parts to paint.

Elizabeth and Blake

September 2023

Elizabeth and Blake were married in the Celebration Garden. They wanted a painting from their ceremony, specifically the moment they exchanged vows, with their minister included as part of the scene. I usually focus on the couple, but we can always include more people when it makes sense for your vision.

Lacey and Devin

May 2022

Lacey and Devin were the first couple I painted at Huntsville Botanical Garden. Their ceremony took place in the Celebration Garden, and they wanted their first kiss painted. When the moment came, Devin grabbed Lacey and dipped her so beautifully, turning it into this stunning dip kiss. I loved this moment so much, and the finished painting looked even more beautiful in their home.
