Iconic downtown Charleston William Aiken House Wedding
This William Aiken House wedding was an absolute dream for Ben to create for Lauren and Dante! We are so blessed with the opportunity to travel extensively to some of the most premier wedding venues across the country … and at the end of the day, we’re so proud to call Charleston, SC home.
The William Aiken House, located in the heart of downtown, is such an iconic expression of the beauty of southern hospitality. That coupled with working with Pure Luxe Bride, and the result is a dream wedding day! Lauren + Dante chose Francesca and Blake to design and style their gorgeous day … and we loved that their first dance was positioned with a perfect view of the House in the backdrop.
Architecture is also one of Ben’s favorite subjects to paint as he loves the play of shadow and light along with the design and angles. Needless to say, we’re thrilled to share their finished live painting. Ben so enjoyed getting to know Lauren and Dante’s family and friends as he painted throughout the evening. We hope this painting brings a lifetime of joy. Cheers to this amazing couple and an unforgettable Charleston wedding day! There’s truly nothing like a William Aiken House wedding!
