Words cannot express how grateful my husband and I are that Dan was able to capture our wedding ceremony so perfectly! My coworkers surprised us with this as our wedding gift and we cannot express how happy we were with the outcome. Dan worked with my team behind the scenes to gather information. He took a picture of us at our ceremony and was then able to turn it into the most amazing painting. He even brought a card from my coworkers to the event and surprised us when we walked into the ballroom. This is something that we will remember and appreciate forever. Thank you so much!
Dan provided an incredible service by capturing the essence of our wedding day through his artwork. He was a pleasure to work with – so kind and thoughtful. It was truly special having him capture a moment of time at our wedding. His execution of a beautiful canvas painting at our ceremony was simply stunning, and it’s something we will treasure forever. Thank you, Dan, for turning our memories into a lasting work of art!
Daniel was such a breath of fresh air in our planning process. He was patient, a great communicator, & truly took the time to listen & execute our vision for our live painting. I couldn’t recommend him enough & I’m so thankful he was apart of our special day.
Daniel is extraordinary! He was at our venue for many hours prior to our reception starting until the very end to ensure the painting was perfect. Our beautiful painting brings us back to that special moment during our wedding. Our guests loved watching him paint and we now have it hanging in our bedroom!
Daniel captured our moment perfectly. This night will forever be memorable because of our beautiful Canvas.
Daniel was absolutely incredible he had attention to detail he was kind and friendly and beyond talented !!!
Dan Angeli was such a pleasure to work with from start to finish, with full professionalism throughout. His ability to translate the joy, love, and excitement of the day onto canvas is truly extraordinary. The finished masterpiece now hangs in our home, serving as a timeless reminder of the day we said "I do." If you're seeking a wedding painter who can turn your special day into a living, breathing work of art, look no further than Dan Angeli.
Daniel was amazing from start to finish! I booked Daniel from seeing him at a friends wedding (he also did their wedding portrait) so my husband and I knew we would be in great hands with our portrait. He worked around the venue with timing, since there was another wedding going on before mine, and stayed until he was finished with the portrait. It came out absolutely stunning and I can’t thank him enough for our beautiful artwork!! It is something we will treasure forever !
Daniel is so amazing to work with! He is so easy to speak with, super friendly & easy-going, very professional, and the quality of his work is outstanding! Guests were going up to him all night long to see his progress and several friends ask for his contact info. His artwork is truly spectacular!
Was hired by my daughter for her wedding. He was very pleasant and professional. This was something very different and was actually very entertaining for the guests. They all kept going to see the progress during the night. He captured the family perfectly. I asked him to shave a few pounds off me in the painting, which he did! He made me look great! lol. Very worth while idea.
Right after we got engaged and booked our wedding venue, Daniel was the first vendor that we booked. I did not want to take any chances of not having him paint our first dance at our wedding. As soon as I spoke with Daniel on the phone I felt comfortable with the process and he took notes in detail with what we wanted in the painting.
When we first saw him painting the layout of the room we couldn’t wait to see the end results! Everyone at the wedding was blown away and kept going back to see his progress. It not only served as a bit of unique entertainment for the wedding guests but is a keepsake that will be displayed in our home forever. I would highly recommend Daniel to paint at anybody’s event!
Dan was absolutely fabulous and captured our magical day! He was great to work with throughout the entire process and was very responsive and thorough. I would highly recommend him for your special day!
Daniel was just wonderful to work with. Painted exactly what we wanted and painting look fantastic. Very professional to work with and he is in touch with you before wedding to go over any last minute requests. Highly recommend
Daniel was super responsive, easy to work with, and is truly talented! Everyone LOVED being able to watch him paint and it came out beautifully!
Daniel’s work is out of this world. Me and my husband will treasure the masterpiece he made for us forever! Thank you so much for capturing such a beautiful day!
If you’re considering hiring captured on canvas for your wedding…do it! He painted my first dance with a few relatives in the background and I’m so pleased with how it turned out! He’s also very patient, kind, and easy to work with.
I wanted to hire a live painter for my wedding day and I am so glad that I found Daniel! His package was all “inclusive” of the painting cost, travel, accommodations, and tax, and he finished the painting on site which was a must for me! Our guests thought it was such a fun and unique idea and absolutely loved the painting! It was so fun to watch the progression of the painting throughout the night, and we are so happy to have such a unique and meaningful work of art to hang in our home. Daniel was a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend him if you are considering a live painter for your event!
Dan Angeli does a beautiful job… hired him for both my son’s & my daughter’s weddings. Guests were captivated as he created a beautiful work of art… right before their eyes…would highly recommend Captured on Canvas.
Daniel was incredible! Our guests loved watching the painting live, and raved about it weeks after our wedding. The painting itself turned out AMAZING. Even the tiniest details were executed perfectly. We are so happy we incorporated this into our wedding and could not recommend Captured on Canvas and more specifically Daniel enough!!!
Daniel did an incredible job with our live painting for our wedding. His attention to detail was amazing. He was able to capture not only the details of my dress but also key elements of our ballroom. It is truly a painting we will always cherish
Daniel was an absolute pleasure to work with. We booked him 2 years before our wedding and we had excellent communication leading up to the wedding. He captured our first dance moment perfectly and added in all those little details to really bring the moment together. Our guests loved watching him work and he was so friendly and open to conversation with them while he was painting. We're so happy we have this beautiful canvas to look at each day to remember our wedding by. If you're going to book a vendor that will make your wedding unique, look no further.
We had Daniel paint our first dance at our wedding on 10/30/22. Not only is Daniel a talented painter, but he’s a really nice guy. It was an amazing experience seeing our painting come to life; not only for us, but our guests as well. Highly recommend hiring Daniel for your wedding; you won’t be disappointed.
Dan does fantastic work. The piece came out exactly how we envisioned. Our guests were in awe of his work, as they watched on as he painted in the ballroom throughout the reception.
Captured On Canvas (Daniel Angeli) was absolutely incredible! Our guests were in awe as Dan captured our first dance. Every detail from the ballroom at Giorgio’s to the details in my dress and in our faces was executed to perfection! Many of our guests came from out of town and had never experienced a live event painter before. They couldn’t stop walking up to stand behind Dan and watch him do his magic! We are so happy we chose to have Dan there! He was professional and friendly and interacted with the guests who stood behind him to watch every detail come to life! We cannot thank you enough for such a beautiful masterpiece to remember the most special day of our lives. 🤍7.8.22
Daniel is the NICEST vendor we worked with on our wedding day and his work is incredible. We have had so many people say that it was one of the coolest things they have ever seen at a wedding. Daniel did such a beautiful job capturing our first dance on canvas with our family looking on. From the time we booked Daniel to our wedding day, our family grew a bit and we had to add a few others to the picture, including my month old nephew. Daniel without hesitation agreed although it was quite a few people to begin with. He was very easy to work with and was there the whole time painting. Even made a point to specially wrapped the painting at the end of the night and hand it off to our designated person to take home. It was amazing to watch his progress throughout the night. Anyone looking for something unique to have at their wedding, I highly recommend hiring Daniel to live paint.
All I can say is WOW! We had Daniel for our wedding on October 8th and he was the talk of the party! The guests enjoyed watching him paint and were amazed by his work - people are still asking about him! To add, Daniel is extremely sweet! Definitely use him, you won't be disappointed!
We used Daniel for our wedding on 7/16/22 and it was for sure one of the highlights of our day! Our guests too were in awe of his incredible skills. We could not be happier with the finished product and Daniel was an absolute pleasure to work with!!!
Dan was absolutely amazing to work with and our painting came out so great! I surprised my husband with a live painting at our wedding reception and he was so blown away by the result. Our guests loved the experience of being able to engage with Dan throughout the night and watch the painting come to life. It was easily the coolest thing we did for our wedding and such a fun and unique idea! If you're on the fence about it, definitely do it!
Daniel is such an amazing live painter and individual. He was kind, responsive and followed up with me closer to my wedding date as he said he would and the painting itself had me and my husband in awe. He is extremely professional and even more so when meeting him at my wedding. Definitely recommend his services!
I recently got married 10/9/22 and decided I wanted a live event artist a little late. I was unable to find one until my maid of honor reached out to Daniel. Even though he has a lot of events booked he made time for us and I was so happy. He was so nice and went over what scene I would like painted and gave recommendations as to what positions looks best when painted. I decided on our ceremony to be painted because it was outside with fall leaves and I was so pleased with my choice! The painting is incredible and all the guests had a great time watching it come to life. I would definitely recommend Daniel!!
We couldn’t be happier with choosing to have Daniel capture our first dance together as a couple!! From the beginning to the end Daniel was super responsive with any questions I had as well as kind. We have our painting hanging up and the details are truly amazing. It immediately brings me back to how everything looked and how the whole day went. Such a special piece to have forever. Brides do this and book Daniel!
Daniel was amazing! My husband and I are in awe at the final painting. There are no words to describe how happy we were to have Daniel be part of our big day! He was so sweet from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend Daniel to everyone!
Daniel is amazing. I found him through instagram and got his live painting as a surprise gift for my husband. Daniel is supremely professional, organized, kind, flexible, and detail oriented. He was able to complete my painting by the end of the evening. My guests were absolutely in awe of his work the whole evening! We cannot thank him enough! If you are even remotely considering getting a live painting DO IT and book Daniel! His work is something you can treasure forever
The highlight of our wedding! My husband and I met Daniel at another wedding, and we were blown away by his work. We knew we needed to book him for our wedding! His work is amazing, and we were so happy with how our first dance portrait came out. SO many people were amazed by his work that they were asking us for his info so they could book him for their weddings, including people who didn't even attend our wedding! Thank you Daniel for capturing our first dance in such a beautiful way!
I literally have no words to describe how absolutely STUNNING my painting came out. I never knew live painting a wedding was a thing until I stumbled upon it on Instagram. At first, Daniel was not available for my original wedding date but through divine intervention, was available for my new postponed date. Thank God because I don't think we could have had a better painting. SO many guests were blown away by it and enjoyed watching the progress of it throughout the night. Some even wanted his contact information because it was that great. If you are thinking about hiring a live painter for your wedding, just do it. It will be an amazing keepsake and conversation piece for a lifetime. Hiring Daniel was the best decision I made and he was definitely one of, if not, my favorite vendor. You will not regret it! I still have my painting in the box because I have not framed it yet but occasionally I take it out just to admire it because I really do love it that much. Thank you Daniel, and thank you for painting my arm skinny LOL. Your artistic skill is a gift.
This was a gift from my bridesmaids - his work and attention to detail is STUNNING. It was also so fun to keep checking in throughout the night to see the process.
I am truly grateful for the painting, it speaks to the entire mood of the day and he put his soul into it.
Daniel is amazing! He made such a beautiful painting and we are so happy with it!
Hiring Dan was one of my favorite wedding decision. When we had to postpone our wedding he was so easy and understanding of the crazy times and I was happy he was available for our new date. My guests couldn’t believe I had a Live painter, something they’ve never seen before, and I am still getting compliments about him! Watching him transform the canvas throughout the night was amazing and he captured our first dance and family members perfectly! I can’t wait to hang this piece up in my home!
By far my absolute favorite vendor and part of my wedding day! From start (emailing with Daniel and phone conversations a year before my wedding) to finish, Daniel was an absolute pleasure to work with. So professional, kind, and incredible at this work. ALL of my guests were raving about him throughout the reception and many of them said they wanted to book him themselves! It was so fun to watch my first dance come alive in his painting and it was SO realistic and on point. Our painting was a surprise gift from me to my husband on our wedding day, and the months of planning and keeping the secret was so worth it! I’ll always remember his face and my family’s faces when they saw the final painting. It is something my husband and I will have forever and truly always cherish. To also have our parents and grandma in the painting is beyond special as well. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go with Daniel over any other live painters out there. He truly is a gem. Do yourself a favor and book Daniel I promise you won’t regret it!!!
Loved having this at our wedding. Is a great thing to have your guests see being done live and a great memory to hang on the wall!
Phenomenal from start to finish. A great communicator , flexible with covid postponements , professional , and he did such a beautiful job with our painting. Guests are still having about it. it turned out absolutely beautiful.
Daniel was incredible! I was my best friend's MOH and the bridal party gifted the live wedding painting to the couple. Daniel was esy to contact, super friendly, great with keeping it a surprise until we told the couple, and was simply fantstic on the day of! The painting came out so phenomenally and it was such an amazing addition to the day. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to add this to their special day!
Dan of Captured by Canvas was unbelievable from start to finish. We originally had him booked for our wedding in the Summer of 2020, but had to postpone until 2021. When I was working on a new date I reached out to Dan and he answered immediately which allowed me to secure my new wedding date before everything was booked. The day of the wedding, Dan introduced himself and requested to meet with several members of the family. He was polite and professional. To this day, one of the most talked about parts of my wedding was Dan, and for that I am forever grateful. Thank you Dan!
I hired Daniel to paint my parents 50th wedding anniversary first dance
He did an amazing job
He is great and so easy to work with
He knows the best way to make your painting and is so great with the guests answers all their questions shows them his process
All the guests live watching him it’s like another event at the party
Daniel was a pleasure to work with. He captured our first dance and could not have done a better job at painting every single detail of it. All of our guests raved about the final product as it looked so lifelike. I would highly recommend you choose Daniel as your live painter.
Daniel was incredible! The painting turned out beautifully and everyone who attended our wedding still talks about Daniel's work and him live painting during the reception. From first speaking to Daniel to receiving our painting, he walked us through every step of our contract and made sure he understood exactly what we wanted to be featured in the painting. Now we have a painting to remember our wedding day by every time we look at it :) thank you Daniel!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t say enough about Dan! He was so easy to communicate with and very thorough. He took his time and nailed every single detail in our painting. He is extremely talented and was vey nice! I highly recommend booking him, you won’t be disappointed!
We hired Captured on Canvas for our 9/25/21 wedding and could not be happier with what it added to our day. My husband & I knew we wanted a live painter as we thought it would be a really cool detail but we were not prepared for the amount of entertainment and excitement it would bring for our guests! The feedback that we have gotten from every single one of our guests about our day has included them raving about the live painting. Guests loved how each time they walked by Dan he had added a new detail and they were able to watch the whole portrait come together from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Dan from Captured on Canvas for your wedding or any other event. You are left with an amazing painting and very impressed guests. Dan, thank you for adding such a wonderful detail to our day! It really made our wedding complete.
The greatest addition to our wedding day!!! I am so happy we decided to book Daniel, he is so professional and extremely talented! It was so fun being able to look at the progress of our live painting throughout the night. You will not be disappointed with his work!! 10000% worth the money!!
This was honestly the best part of our wedding. I was so excited to have Daniel as our live painter and cannot believe how beautiful the picture came out. When I walked over to the canvas at the end of the night I was blown away!! The detail he captured is just amazing and he was able to add in my puppy! The canvas is seriously one of my most prized possessions ! Hire Daniel, you will not regret it!
Daniel was very professional and responsive right from the start! He was clear in the packages available, and totally understood my vision/ style of painting I wanted! He was always quick to respond to email, or set up a phone call. He worked with me through Covid and postponing my day, and thankfully had my new day available!! He was super friendly during the reception and came early to set up. He let me know a timeline of when my painting would be complete (since I chose added detail after the day of) and then we chose a time for pick up (shipping available also) and we met and it was beautiful!! Great experience start to finish!! What an amazing gift to always have!! Highly recommend
This was an amazing experience! Daniel did such a great job. Everyone kept coming over to the painting throughout the night to see his progress. We absolutely loved him and would
Recommend him for anyone looking to do something different and unique at their wedding.
After seeing Dan at another wedding we knew we wanted a live painting to be part of our special day. Dan went above and beyond, the painting of our first dance is everything we wanted and more. Everyone was so in awe of this unique aspect of our wedding! Choosing Dan to capture our wedding was one of the best decisions we have done. His attention to detail and fully capturing us and our family makes this even more special!
I knew I wanted a live painting by Daniel since before we even got engaged! I stumbled upon his Instagram one day and I just thought his are was incredible. Daniel was fantastic at every aspect - communication during the planning process, engaging with guests and and unbelievable finished product. All of our guests were blown away watching him paint. They had never seen anything like it at an event before. I honestly say it was the best money spent for our day. We know have a beautiful piece of artwork to cherish forever. Thank you so much!
I am so in LOVE with the painting Dan painted of our first dance. Having Dan paint at our wedding was so spectacular! All of our guests and staff at the venue were so in AWE as they kept going back to check on progress! Such an amazing piece to walk home with and such an amazing person! Anyone who books Dan for their event will be so glad they did, as am I! Thank you!!!
With the help of my planner we hired Daniel as a gift for my husband and it was absolutely worth it! His talent is incredible! We had him capture our first dance and The level of detail he put into us and our surroundings was spectacular. He got the details of our flowers, the lighting, and even the lace of my gown. Words can't express how happy we are with the final product. It's a keepsake that we will always have. Our guests were mesmerized by his work and really enjoyed the progress from start to finish. He wasn't just a gift to us but for our guests as well. We highly recommend him 1000%!!!!
Dan was amazing! Very responsive and worked with us every step of the way even through the pandemic. His paintings are beautiful and the picture touch to our wedding day.
I am still in awe of my beautiful wedding painting. I thought having a wedding painter would be a cool idea. I didnt know it would be the highlight of my wedding. My guest were blown away David was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He had great communication and provided flexible options given the pandemic situation. Captured on Canvas was worth every penny.
Thanks David for the memory and experience. His paintings are simply beautiful He captured every detail perfectly
Choosing Dan to capture our wedding was one of the best decisions we have done. He was extremely professional and nice and was open to answering all questions I had. I love my painting and Dan captured my ceremony so beautifully. His attention to detail is what really makes these paintings stand out.
Dan was great from start to finish. He was very responsive to all my questions. He is a great guy overall. We love our painting! I'm so happy we chose him for our wedding and that we will have this painting forever :)
I found Daniel after searching for unique wedding ideas and having a live painter at your wedding does not get more unique. Daniel was great to commutate with and our guests LOVED watching him work. He set up “shop” to the side of the ballroom and it was so cool to see guests interacting with him, but also to see the progression of the painting throughout the night. We have not seen the final product yet because we have asked Daniel to add more details, but what I had seen last is absolutely amazing! I loved how he is able to capture such a special moment of our wedding and include so many of our loved ones in it as well!
Dan is so amazingly talented! After doing some research I fell in love with his work and knew we had to have him at our wedding to capture this amazing moment in our lives. We asked that he paint us during our first dance, and so he took pictures of us on his iPad to work from and reference throughout the night. My guests were amazed at the level of detail that he was able to portray in such a short amount of time. He even added in a surprise detail on one of the reception tables of my husbands favorite bourbon bottle (at my dads request) which he loved! We couldn’t wait to hang the painting in our home. Thank you Dan for this amazing keepsake of our big day!!
My fiancé and I wanted a budget wedding that would also be amaze our guests! I was planning for about 2.5 years and thought I had everything I needed. About a month before my wedding, I found out about live painters and did not know if we would have the money to get one. My fiancé decided to let me splurge on this one thing and it was the best decision we made! Dan was surprisingly available on our wedding date and with very short notice was able to get all the details he needed for our day. Dan was the only vendor I did not have to worry about - he was already there when my husband and I walked in for our first dance and stayed until the painting was finished. Our guests were extremely impressed and a couple of people said they will definitely use a live painter for their children's weddings. We had the painting framed by Michaels and currently have it up in our living room. Instead of a photo booth - go with a live painter, especially Dan! You will not be sorry!
Dan is awesome! He was great to work with and is so talented. We requested the full detail painting and LOVE it. It's so special and the amount of detail and time he put into it is evident in the final masterpiece. He was also such a hit during the wedding - our guests loved watching his work come together throughout the night and were amazed by the end (as were we)! Dan is such a great person all around and you would be lucky to have him paint at your event!
If you want something different and unique at your wedding? Well... A live painter is the answer. It was a highlight at my daughters wedding. Our guests were amazed and Daniel did an awesome job capturing the first dance-I'm so glad we now have a memory that will live forever in this painting.
I was in a search for something unique and vintage for our wedding. After doing some intense research I found out that we could have a live painter at our wedding. I knew that we needed to have a painter come to our wedding and paint our first dance. I found many amazing live painters but Captured on Canvas by Daniel Angeli really caught my interest. I emailed him right away and he got back to me extremely fast. After that it was history. I booked him right there! We spoke briefly on the phone so that we could learn more about his work and for him to learn more about us. We finally met him on the wedding day. I saw him already painting the reception area before the ceremony even started! It was amazing! Before our wedding was over, I did look at his work and I was amazed how well he painted me and my husband. It looks just like us! I was amazed how he could work with loud noise and people constantly going to him and watching him. Daniel is the man! He is a super friendly guy and he spoke with everyone who approached him. Family members and friends were fascinated by him and his work since they couldn’t believe that live painting is a thing! Now they are all interested in having this done one day for themselves! We paid for Daniel to do touch ups so we cannot wait to see all the extra details he will put in (including my dog)….ahhh we are excited!!!! Thank you Daniel!!!!!
We used Captured on Canvas for our wedding and they were awesome! Dan does an excellent job, we are super happy with the end result. Definitely recommend!
Dan is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! He is so helpful, answered all of our questions, and painted a picture better then I could have ever asked for! He’s so friendly to everyone who came up to him at the wedding and explained everything he was doing! I couldn’t recommend him more! He really went the extra mile throughout the whole process!
Dan beautifully painted our first dance! He was a joy to work with, very professional, and extremely talented! Our guests were amazed watching him capture our wedding. He included all the details we asked for and our painting is perfect! Thank you so much Dan!!
We wanted something unique for our wedding, thankfully Daniel has an opening just a couple of months before the wedding so i booked ASAP with him and he was amazing to work with - he was very helpful throughout the process and always available quickly returning my emails. During the wedding itself he set up in an area where guest could view his progress throughout the night and our guest are still complimenting how amazing it was to see a white blank canvas turn into an amazing memory by the end of the night. A lot of guest have also contacted me for his information so they can use him for there special day when the time comes. I can’t wait to have this displayed and showcased in our home so we can relive the best day ever everytime we look at it. Thank you for everything Daniel! 1000% recommend him for a wedding!
Dan is truly amazing and so talented. We are obsessed with our paining! we constantly get compliments. having Dan be part of our day made it that much more special. He is so easy to work with and very professional our guests loved seeing him work live and interact with him. If you were looking for a sign, this is it! GO WITH DAN!
Absolutely AMAZING! Dan is a pleasure to work with and answer's all questions in a timely manner. My guests are still RAVING about his work. And our painting. Thank you Dan!!!!
From start to finish Daniel was professional and an absolutely amazing artist! We had never heard of a live event painter, but the idea seemed so fun and engaging for our wedding. We were stunned by how much detail Daniel was able to put into our painting in just 4 short hours! The painting was lovingly packaged and boxed, waiting for us in our hotel room when we went upstairs on our wedding night. We couldn't say enough positive things about working with Daniel!
We wanted something unique and lifelong for our wedding and Captured on Canvas brought that to us! Daniel was amazing to work with - he was very quick with emails and even spoke to us on the phone to explain the process and took an interest in what we were looking for. During the wedding itself he set up in an area where guests were able to see him and approach him! Not only did we get a beautiful painting that will stay with us forever but our guests were able to be part of the process. Thank you Daniel!!
Daniel is incredible! My guests could not believe their eyes upon walking into our ballroom and seeing him. They were even more blown away throughout the night as they realized what he was up to — painting my groom and I and our families looking upon us during our first dance. I am so grateful to have found Daniel here on The Knot, and of I had to do it again, I’d choose Captured on Canvas! His work is mesmerizing!!!
Daniel was awesome! I saw his work through a mutual friend and knew I had to have him paint our wedding too! His work is one of a kind and so detailed. We absolutely love how our painting came out and it looks beautiful in our living room. We get tons of compliments and it is such a special keepsake. He is also so easy to work with and walks you through the whole process. He gets back to you in a timely manner and works with you. I highly recommend Daniel!!
Daniel was amazing!!! He was so personable and the guests enjoyed watching and asking him about his work. He took his time and paid attention to all the details in the room. He even added our fur baby!!!! The colors were all spot on. I couldn’t believe the quality of work for a painting to be completed the night of the event. Awesome job. The packaging was also great. We worried that it would be damaged but it was very well packaged.
I wish we could have him paint all the special moments in our lives!
A++++++++++++ this was the highlight of my day! Two weeks before the wedding after realizing we saved plenty of money I went on a search for a live painter. It was something I always wanted but didn’t seem necessary so I never pushed for it! I reached out late on a Saturday night and Daniel answered my email within a hour saying he was available and within 24 hours he was booked! Everyone was so impressed by his work and he truly got every detail we asked for! The coolest thing was it was finished by the end of the night! We close on our house next week and all I can think about is hanging our painting over my fire place! Worth. Every. Penny!
i can not say enough amazing things! i was very stressed the day of my wedding about not being able to have my ceremony outside but he made it possible to still have my painting be of the outside. his personallity was so nice and made both me and my husband feel less upset about it not being outside. my guests went on and on raving how amazing he was! thank you so so much dan! we LOVE our painting!
Beautifully captured our first dance. Daniel is a very talented painter and didn’t miss a single detail. The painting came out better than we can ever image. We can’t wait to hang it in our house. Guests were so amazed by his craftsmanship and just so impressed with the overall concept. Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding!
My husband and I could not be happier with Dan's work! We are so looking forward to having such a special keepsake of our wedding to display in our home forever.
To say that our wedding guests were completely ENAMORED with Dan's painting is putting it lightly. There were several guests who were completely entranced, checking in frequently to see Dan's progress. We, as well as our parents and friends, cannot believe how accurately Dan captured us during our first dance. The resemblance is absolutely impeccable. We had several guests inquire about the finished product in the weeks following our wedding. Fortunately, we booked the package with Dan where he will print out thank you cards for us, so our guests will be able to see the finished product for themselves. When we booked, we had no idea what a hit the painting would be, so we are very excited to get both our thank you cards & prints for our parents from Dan, as well.
I have seen live painters at other weddings where we were just guests. I have NEVER seen a live painting with the level of detail that Dan maintains. If you are interested in a unique depiction of your wedding that will really wow your guests, I would book Dan immediately! You are not going to find someone more talented, dedicated, and personable. Dan was so accommodating and easy to work with. Several of our guests are hoping to book with him for their future events! Thank you, Dan!!!
My husband and I wanted a live painter after seeing it at a previous wedding. After searching online, I found Daniel and Captured on Canvas. Daniel is incredibly sweet and was so responsive to my emails. We received our painting about 3 and half months after our wedding and it was worth the wait! I loved the fact that I was able to include my whole family and my husband's family in the painting. His prices were reasonable and he updated us throughout the process so that we knew exactly when we were expecting our painting! We surprised our guests at our wedding with the live painter and everyone still tells us how much they loved watching Daniel paint and LOVED the finished painting. Please, do not hesitate, contact Daniel today to make a very special moment of your day a beautiful masterpiece!
I was referred to Captured on Canvas by another live event artist, and I could not be happier with the referral. Daniel was incredibly easy to work with from day one. He listened to my ideas, and created the most beautiful painting of our first dance. Daniel was a hit at the wedding, and guests were checking in to see what he was up to throughout the evening. Most guests had never seen a live event painter at a wedding, and could not get over what he was able to do in the hours we were there. They could not wait to see the finished product, and still can't get over the likeness of all the people in the painting. The detail is unreal! We were so excited to get the finished product, and cannot wait to get it back from the framer! It is an incredible piece of art, and one of our most cherished memories from the wedding. I am so happy we decided to have Daniel capture our wedding, and consider it to be one of the best investments from the entire day!
Daniel truly captured the feelings I had on my wedding day. I am so grateful Daniel was available to paint our first dance. My guests loved watching the progress of the portrait from the time they arrived to the time they left. I could not think of a better gift for my husband on our wedding day. I debated materialistic things, and am so happy I decided on this portrait because it really does bring us back to our wedding day and we couldn’t be happier with how magnificent the painting really is. I would highly recommend Daniel for his professionalism, attention to detail, and amazing talent. This truly is a once in a lifetime unique gift which makes it priceless! Thank you Daniel!
YES! Yes! Yes! This was such an amazing and unique addition to our wedding! Our guests were in awe watching Dan work throughout the reception (as were we). Dan was very easy to work with - responsive, professional and EXTREMELY talented. We cannot wait to see the finished product!!! THANK YOU!
This was such a special part of our wedding! We found Dan after reading so many great reviews, and he was so nice and easy to work with! He was so prompt in answering all of our questions! He painted a canvas of our first dance, and everyone absolutely loved watching him paint during the reception! Everyone kept asking us for his card because they thought his work was incredible! This was definitely one of the most memorable part of our day and we can't wait to see the final product! If you are considering this, you should definitely do this! It will be so fun and the beautiful painting will last a lifetime.
Thank you Dan for everything!
Having Dan from Captured on Canvas as a live artist at our wedding (he painted a picture of our first dance) was one the coolest parts of our wedding! I came across Dan's work by chance and thought hiring him would be the perfect surprise for my now husband. I started speaking to Dan about 14 months before our wedding date (he books up extremely fast!) From our first conversation, I felt like I was inviting another friend to the wedding! Dan is down to earth, friendly, professional but easy going, and simply a pleasure to interact with. He offers a few size options for the painting so it is likely you will find something that works for your budget - outside of the deposit he is also very accommodating when it comes to a payment schedule.
Dan reached out a few weeks before our wedding to confirm the "scene" of the painting and exactly who we wanted included (parents, siblings, etc.) He arrived at our venue site about 4 hours before the start of the reception to get started on the backdrop/decor. He also had an iPad the entire night that he used to take pictures of the family members we requested be included in the painting as well as of my husband and I as we danced. He then worked the rest of the night on the details of the painting. It was absolutely amazing to see the painting come to life right before our eyes. Our guests were amazed and thought it was the coolest thing they had ever seen at a wedding. My favorite part is knowing that this is something that will be in our family forever. It was a pleasure to have Dan as part of our day and the service he provided has given us one of the most special and timeless gifts we could ever ask for. If you want something truly unique at your wedding consider giving Dan a call!
