As a Live Wedding Painter, Wilmington forever holds a very special place in Ben’s heart as an artist! Having painted in Wilmington for over a decade, this city is so special to Ben. Needless to say, each of our Wilmington weddings hold a special place in our hearts. When Jenna called and shared that she and Justin had chosen the New Hanover County Arboretum … we were thrilled about the possibility of their live painting! This dreamy garden setting with the gorgeous oak trees was indeed the perfect setting for their celebration! Ben loved capturing their full bridal party, too! What an absolute joy to celebrate with this sweet, sweet couple!
