Beach house wedding at Holden Beach, one of my favorite beach locations

Black and white of couple kissing with sunlight reflecting on the beach grass - Holden Beach

This is the second time I’ve been to this beach house in Holden Beach, NC, for a wedding. Because of my earlier wedding there, I was told I came highly recommended, which is always nice. I’ve been to many different beach locations for weddings, and this one is pretty unique. Almost anywhere you go around this area, the houses are built right up next to the ocean, and in some spots at high tide, there is hardly any beach even left. In this area, the beach houses were built far back from the ocean. A long walk down to the beach through natural dunes and beach grass feels very different from any location in the Myrtle Beach area. There is even a large lake between the ocean and some beach houses. It is a beautiful area. Even though it’s a bit of a drive for me, I enjoyed going up to this area again.

I hope you enjoy some of the pictures below. Please let me know in the comments if you do.
