Brittany & Hunter’s Wedgewood Ballroom Wedding Painting at The Estate at River Run
It’s such a joy to share Brittany and Hunter’s Estate at River Run Wedding Painting! Their wedding day wasn’t just beautiful, it truly felt like a work of art.
Brittany and Hunter’s celebration was one of those sweet, painterly days where every element, from the soft blue walls of the Wedgewood Ballroom to the incredible chandelier overhead – seemed designed for romance. Being on the Estate at River Run property feels more like you’re in Europe than Richmond, VA!
As they shared their first dance surrounded by breathtaking florals, Ben set up his easel nearby, brush in hand, capturing their much anticipated lift move! Yes, they choreographed their first dance and it included a LIFT!
The Estate at River Run: A Fairytale Setting
Nestled along the James River just outside Richmond, The Estate at River Run is a luxury Virginia wedding venue known for its sweeping views, marble staircases, and elegant ballrooms. But the Wedgewood Ballroom is especially magical – its perfectly blue walls and crystal chandelier create the kind of light every artist dreams of.
For Brittany and Hunter, this space felt like the perfect reflection of their story: classic, heartfelt, and deeply personal. And for us: being back in Richmond is always so special! Ben and I (Jen) actually bought our first home in Union Hill. It was an adorable row house with charming gingerbread details. While our time in Richmond was shorter than we expected, it holds a sweet spot in our hearts!
The First Dance, Captured by a Richmond Live Wedding Painter
The truth is, every moment and angle of Brittany and Hunter’s wedding day would have made a great painting! As guests travel from arrival, to the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner and dancing – every space brings a rich experience! We love that they chose to have their First Dance captured, featuring their favorite details of the ballroom and showing off the incredible floral design!
