Live Wedding Painter at Sonnenalp Hotel

Bavarian-inspired hotel in Vail Village

Why Sonnenalp Hotel Inspires Live Wedding Art

Hand-carved woodwork, flower boxes, and creekside patios evoke the Alps.

I paint storybook details like carved balconies and alpine blooms to transport viewers.

Portraits along Gore Creek include the covered bridge and string lights.

Favorite Creative Moments at Sonnenalp Hotel

  • Timeline inspiration: Add a portrait tea lounge the morning after — guests adore lingering over alpine pastries.
  • Logistics that keep the art flawless: The pedestrian village keeps everything walkable; I use compact easels between events.
  • Seasonal magic: Festive holiday markets add twinkle lights that translate beautifully to watercolor.
