A Moment, Made Timeless
I’m Angie Candell, a live wedding painter with more than a decade of experience documenting weddings.
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.
My paintings are not meant to be decorative accents. They are created to be heirlooms – pieces that hold memory, atmosphere, and emotion long after the day has passed.
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.
Client Love
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of creating meaningful artwork for families, couples, and clients. Here’s what they’ve said about the experience and result:
A huge thank you to Angie Candell for coming out and creating a live painting of Katie and Dylan getting married on the beautiful Monongahela River. What a gift it was to watch your talent unfold in real time, capturing such a sacred moment in such a unique and meaningful way. Thank you, Angie, for sharing your gift with us and being such a special part of this ceremony.

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. ♡

I requested a custom hand pencil sketch of a couples engagement (for an upcoming Wedding present) in Europe with a backdrop of old stone churches. Angie’s sketch is AMAZING! The detail she captured is astounding! I cannot wait to give this one of a kind ever lasting treasure of a gift! Thank you Angie!!

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you use?
All live wedding paintings are created using professional acrylic paints on artist-grade canvas or panel, selected to best suit the scale and longevity of the artwork.
Will we receive the painting on the wedding day?
In most cases, no. While the painting is created live during your celebration and largely completed on site, I take it back to my studio afterward to refine details. This ensures the final piece fully reflects both your likeness and the essence of the day.
Can the painting be shipped after the wedding?
Yes. Paintings are securely packaged and shipped with priority service, tracking, and insurance. Local delivery is also available.
Does the venue need to provide anything?
I require a space approximately 5×5 feet near an outlet for my setup. For outdoor events, a tent is requested in the event of inclement weather if no indoor alternative is available.
Do you carry liability insurance?
Yes. Documentation can be provided to your venue upon request.
What is required to reserve our date?
A 50% non-refundable retainer and signed contract are required to secure your wedding date. The remaining balance is due on the day of the event.
Do you travel?
Yes. Travel within one hour of Claysville, PA is included. Additional travel is available for an additional fee depending on location.
What if you’re unavailable on our wedding day?
I also offer studio paintings created from photographs. Please reach out to discuss availability and details.
