Understated Elegance on Candlewood Lake
Alex & Adam’s Wedding with a Live Painting at Candlewood Inn, Brookfield, CT
There’s a quiet kind of elegance that comes when you let nature lead the design. Alex and Adam’s wedding at Candlewood Inn was the perfect example of this—where the rolling hills of western Connecticut and the shimmering waters of Candlewood Lake became the backdrop to a day full of love, laughter, and meaning.
As a New England live wedding painter, I’ve worked in many beautiful venues, but there’s something especially charming about Candlewood Inn. Tucked away on a secluded stretch of back roads, it captures the spirit of summer in New England—fresh lake air, lush green hills, and golden hour light dancing across the water.
Watch the video below to see the painting unfold in real time, and the joyful reactions of guests and newlyweds alike:
A Painting That Reflects the Landscape and the Love
Alex and Adam exchanged vows with Candlewood Lake glistening behind them, the blue waters adding a serene glow to the celebration. I began the painting as guests gathered, sketching the lake, the soft greenery, and the movement of the day. Their wedding had a sense of ease and grace that made every moment feel authentic and heartfelt.
Painting live at weddings like this is more than just capturing a likeness—it’s about preserving the emotion of the day in a way that’s intimate and timeless. Each brushstroke is layered with intention, with the goal of creating a fine art piece that will last for generations.
Why Choose a Live Wedding Painter for Your New England Wedding
More and more couples are embracing the idea of live wedding painting, not just as entertainment for guests, but as an heirloom. It’s an experience—one that adds beauty and interaction to your day, and results in a lasting treasure.
When nature already offers so much beauty, like at Candlewood Inn, my role is to weave that natural charm into the artwork. The result? A painting that feels grounded in place, time, and love.
