Angie made a ☆WORK OF ART☆ out of one of our wedding pictures to start our gallery wall. It captures the moment beautifully and is so intricate and delicate. We will have a whole gallery wall of portraits by Angie Candell over time. ♡

About Angie
I’m Angie Candell, a live wedding painter with more than a decade of experience in the wedding industry.
Before I ever picked up a brush at a wedding, I spent years behind the camera, learning how to recognize the moments that matter most – the quiet exchanges, the way light moves through a space, the emotion that can’t be staged. That storyteller’s eye now guides my work on canvas.
I create heirloom wedding paintings designed to feel like the grand portraits you see in historic estates – the kind commissioned by families and passed down for generations. Inspired by the romance and permanence of classical works found in places like the Palace of Versailles and the timeless elegance of portraits housed in the The Metropolitan Museum of Art, each piece is composed to feel both refined and deeply personal. My goal is for your wedding painting to live not just on a wall, but as part of your family’s legacy – a statement piece that tells your story with the richness, artistry, and presence of a true heirloom.
Each live painting begins at your wedding and is completed with care afterward, allowing me to honor both the immediacy of the moment and the refinement of a finished work of fine art.
