Brittani + Ben Step Into The Limelight | Wishing Well Barn | Plant City, FL

🌟 Magical Moments at Our Farm Wedding 🌟

Congratulations Brittani Leshe' Pate and Ben! 💍✨ The Wishing Well Barn was gushingly gorgeous for their special day! From the twinkle lights and farm implements to the dried flowers in resin, fire pit, cows, and the crushed velvet couch in the middle of a field – every detail was attended to with such thoughtfulness and care.

We are thrilled to share their beautiful love story, captured by the talented Tampa wedding photographers at Limelight Photography!

After months of conversations on a dating app, they finally met for their first date in Downtown Dunedin on October 7, 2017, just one day before her birthday. Fast forward to a memorable evening at the Fenway Hotel, where he proposed on the lawn in front of their family who watched from the balcony above. ❤️

Their love story is filled with laughter, adventure, and a shared passion for new experiences. From earning Real Estate Licenses together to discovering scuba diving, mountain biking, and rollerblading, they’ve embraced every moment together. They also love binge-watching Netflix, traveling, and cherishing time with family.

The wedding was a heartfelt celebration of love and family, especially meaningful after the recent loss of their grandparents. With her last living grandmother present, the day was a tribute to cherishing every moment with loved ones. Their beloved dog Bo also played a special role in their day, making it even more unique and personal.

The anticipation built as the barn doors opened for that unforgettable first look, a moment that marked the culmination of their whirlwind wedding planning. The day was all about feeling "loved and at home," and from the ceremony to the reception, every moment was filled with joy and emotion.
