Kiss on the Live Oak Allee - Brookgreen Gardens

Brookgreen Gardens is a beautiful statue garden located south of Myrtle Beach, close to Pawleys Island, SC. This is a very unique location for a wedding with beautiful greenery and statues. In the spring and summer, the gardens are filled with beautiful flowers. In the winter, the Night of a Thousand Candles makes a breathtaking backdrop for romantic pictures. Engagement photography in the gardens is possible, but it requires prearrangement with Brookgreen and payment of a fee. Visit my posts below for more pictures and information.
