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, however it requires prearrangement with Brookgreen and payment of a fee. Visit my posts below for more pictures and information.

I had a lot of fun photographing a recent surprise marriage proposal in Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet. April is a great time of the year for taking pictures in Brookgreen. The springtime flowers are blooming and they also have extended hours until 8pm. Normally the gardens close at 5pm …
I met with some clients today who are having an upcoming wedding at the Brookgreen Gardens Holliday 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 …
