Brookgreen Gardens Wedding Photographer in Murrells Inlet
Murrells Inlet, South Carolina
Brookgreen Gardens is one of the most recognizable wedding settings on the Grand Strand. Majestic live oaks hung with Spanish moss shade the paths, and a world-renowned sculpture collection is tucked throughout the grounds, so art and nature share every frame. As a Myrtle Beach wedding photographer, I keep coming back for the garden paths and the soft late-day light under the oaks.

A Garden Wedding Under the Live Oaks
This wedding began beneath a canopy of moss-draped oaks, with tall pink and red floral arrangements marking the ceremony entrance and guests seated in rows under the branches. The flower girl led the way down the aisle with her basket before the bride walked toward the groomsmen waiting at the front. Later, the wedding party gathered for a big group portrait, and the ceremony site was mirrored in the still water of a nearby pond.
The celebration moved to a clear-top tent with a greenery chandelier overhead. Guests sat down to dinner under hanging greenery, the cake was wrapped in pink and red roses, and the newlyweds shared their first dance before the band filled the dance floor for the rest of the night.
A Photo Tip From Your Brookgreen Gardens Wedding Photographer
- Consider an unplugged ceremony. Ask guests to put their phones away while you say your vows at Brookgreen Gardens. You get an aisle full of real faces instead of screens, and I get a clear view of the moments you will want to remember.
