Charleston Live Wedding Painting created at a sweet southern Boone Hall wedding
This Boone Hall wedding was so inspiring for Ben as a Charleston Live Wedding Painter! Rachel and DJ’s wedding day was a dream. And truthfully, every moment could have made for a gorgeous live wedding painting!
Rachel and DJ chose a class portrait moment of the two of them, styled with their dogs, for their Boone Hall wedding painting. And the best part: from a vantage point that Ben painted for the first time! Rachel and DJ decided to have their ceremony in front of the beautiful Southern home, with the iconic iron gates as the backdrop. The architecture of the home and the ironwork design were part of what sold them on a Boone Hall wedding, making for a perfect live wedding painting backdrop!
Dogs are one of Ben’s favorite details to include in live wedding paintings!
A really common question we receive from couples is: Is it possible to include our dogs in our live wedding painting? And our answer is forever and always a: YES! Rachel included their dogs during her bridal portraits, giving Ben absolutely perfect photographs to work from during the wedding. We tell couples that even if their pups aren’t attending the wedding, we can still include them from photographs!
We love that Rachel and DJ decided on such a different composition and setting for their Boone Hall wedding painting. Since we wanted to include as much of the home as possible, we brought the Live Oak tree limbs and Spanish moss into the foreground. We just love how perfectly Charleston their painting feels!
