Pippin Hill is one of the most relaxing and romantic wedding venues that we’ve ever captured. Despite hurricane Matthew threatening rain, Courtney and Ian’s wedding day was a perfect Fall day overlooking the gorgeous view of the vineyards and rolling hills of Charlottesville, Virginia. Courtney’s mother commissioned Ben to capture their wedding day as a surprise to the couple. As it turns out, there were many incredible surprises she had planned … including hiring the UVA’s acapella group for a flash mob performance during the ceremony! Following the ceremony, guests headed over to Pippin Hill to enjoy a cocktail hour on the lawn as the sun set against the mountains. The acapella group joined for a second performance while guests sipped on wine. We can see why Courtney’s mom wanted to capture this exact moment for their live wedding painting. It was so lovely to return to Pippin Hill and really exciting to be able to capture the view the venue has to offer. Karson Butler Events created an incredible event, we have always been fans of their work but it’s even more spectacular first hand! We are so excited to share an image of their finished wedding painting!
