No, I do not use the calligraphy pen, but it makes for a nice prop. Line drawing of @hickorystreetannex - can’t wait to show y’all how these all came together

Next up- Jenny and Benjamin’s reception site. Can’t wait for y’all to get to celebrate with all your family and friends! Truly a best of both worlds wedding &hearts;️

This project is a *multi phase* reveal, but I’ll start with this view of Lake Tahoe, where @jcoop72 and @bltorrie were married

Cutie rehearsal dinner locale! I always love these streetscape paintings.

A pretty exciting blank canvas (cc: @averycwolff )

This one was a tough one, as it meant saying see you later to some of our nearest and dearest. (Couldn’t leave out baby Nora’s swing!)

Rarely do I see the houses I paint in person, but I got to see this one (and more importantly the people I love inside it) this weekend, and it’s a charmer, inside and out.

Arguably the most fun door color I’ve had occasion to mix.

Final product from yesterday’s reel. Grateful for you (and your family’s new house milestones) @averyfarr

Happy happy wedding week to Josh and Lauren! The most delicious green letterpress by @elefantpress

Two very special little girls had birthdays this week and I took it as an opportunity to use my new prototype wrapping paper ROLLS!! The texture isn’t *quite* where I want it yet but we will get there

Grateful to one of my “other mamas” for snapping a photo of this TRULY STUNNING program from Saturday’s wedding (only the artwork is mine, but happy to play a small part... how about that ribbon?!)

Happy wedding week to Caroline and Warner!
Caroline’s grandparents very often sat behind my family in the balcony of St Luke, so it will be extra special to see this painting on her wedding programs &hearts;️

Just loved working on the giraffe art and baby shower invitation for two of the cutest (and funniest) mamas to be out there. Can’t wait to meet your baby boy 💙 (and happy belated anniversary!)

There’s 2020 wedding planning, and then there’s rescheduling a 2020 wedding in San Francisco to be in Texas, only to have it fall on the weekend of the craziest winter storm to ever hit the state. Good thing it happened to a graceful, eas

Pleased as punch to earn the repeat business of this incredibly special fam.

Just bursting with excitement to meet the little bug who is getting this commission set in her nursery🦋🐛🐞 🐌(really wishing I’d thought to do a snail now... maybe next baby @leighbana @jpb617 ?)

Testimonial 04

“Emily Shea was such a dream to work with. She worked diligently and patiently to create the most beautiful watercolor of our wedding venue. The artwork made our invitations incredibly unique and we love having the original piece as a keepsake. However, her value goes beyond her illustration talent – she also expertly navigated us through recommendations, samples, and the printing process of our invitation suite. She was prompt in communication and always provided great insight. Looking back, I am so proud of the invitations that we created and thankful that we chose Emily Shea to partner with.”

"We worked with Florence Street Studios for our wedding invitations, menus and programs - the process and results were beyond expectation! Emily Shea listened to our (very) rough ideas and turned them into one-of-a-kind works of art. Beyond her creative talents, Emily Shea is very easy to work with and turned what could have been a stressful wedding project into our favorite part of the planning process!"

Testimonial 02

"I was so grateful to Emily Shea for providing the perfect wedding gift for my father-in-law and his bride. When they began planning their wedding, they arranged the whole thing around this sweet little chapel in central PA. Emily Shea created a lovely watercolor of the chapel that was so meaningful to them. Their marriage created a big, blended family and all of their children presented this gift to them at the reception. It was such a special moment! The painting now hangs prominently in their house as a reminder of a beautiful celebration and a symbol of the new family that was created. Best wedding gift ever!"

Testimonial 01

"I was looking for a painting of the spot where my husband proposed to me as a wedding present. It was the location where his parents were engaged, so sentimental for many reasons. I love how Emily Shea captured this location so much that my mother in law and I thought it would be the perfect image for our rehearsal dinner invitations. Emily Shea made this such an easy process and knew how special and important this was to us and our families. I was so happy with the design and love being able to see this painting in our home every day."
