Wedding ceremony at the Holiday Cottage gates in Brookgreen Gardens with a large bridal party

Wedding party pictures after the ceremony -

I met with some clients today who are having an upcoming wedding at the Brookgreen Gardens Holiday Cottage area. I’ve done many weddings at this location, so I was showing them my most recent one as an example, even though it was from last summer of 2012. I realized that I never posted about this wedding on my blog. I think it was just my busy time of the year and many weddings miss out on a storyboard. However, with this one, in particular, I realized I needed to put a post about it. I especially loved the picture of the large wedding party reflecting in the lake on the garden pond.

This couple’s wedding reception was at another location outside the gardens, so I’m just going to highlight some of their pictures from the Holiday Cottage itself and then from the garden gates near the cottage where the ceremonies are held. I hope you enjoy them.
