Charleston, South Carolina
24 x 36 in. Canvas
As a live wedding painter, Middleton Place is one of our absolute favorite Charleston Wedding venues! We are beyond excited to share McKenna and Michael’s finished live wedding painting! This sweet couple chose Charleston’s breathtaking Middleton Place as the backdrop for their celebration.
Middleton Place is one of our favorite places to visit in Charleston with our family. We’ve been waiting for the stars to align for Ben to be available to paint a wedding here! And at this exact spot with the gorgeous tree looking over the marsh!
Needless to say, we were elated when McKenna and Michael chose to have their ceremony, which was held at the Octagonal Garden, painted as the subject of their live painting. The Octagonal Garden at Middleton Place sits on a bit of a hill with an incredible view of one of the prettiest Live Oak trees here in Charleston!
Ben captured the beauty of this moment, as McKenna and Michael shared their vows, perfectly! And of course, the Pure Luxe Bride team created an absolute DREAM wedding for them!! Cheers to one of our favorite couples and live paintings to date!!
