Brittany + Jonathan
Magnolia Plantation and Gardens
Charleston, South Carolina
24 x 30 in. | Oil on Canvas
This sweet California couple fell in love with the South and decided to celebrate their wedding at Charleston’s Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. The lawn of the Veranda House was the backdrop for their gorgeous, alfresco reception. Brittany and Jonathan commissioned Ben to capture their first dance, which was accompanied by her father singing and playing guitar … does it get any sweeter! Ben was so inspired by the incredibly creative event design by Pure Luxe Bride. He was able to set up his easel in a perfect location that allowed him to capture the unique lounge rentals and guests seated in front of the gorgeous plantation home in the background. We always love working with Pure Luxe Bride because they allow Ben to truly be the artist and even set up wherever he feels is best to capture the best live painting. Brittany was so excited about her Southern wedding and we are so pleased with her truly Southern Wedding Painting. As guests were seated, dining alfresco underneath the edison bulbs and the Spanish Moss … it was an absolutely unforgettable evening! Cheers to this incredible couple … now we just wish they lived closer! We are so excited to share these incredible images that Dana Cubbage Weddings snapped from their day!
