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.


Brookgreen Gardens is at 1931 Brookgreen Drive in Murrells Inlet, between Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island. The gardens offer several venue options for ceremonies and receptions, and Brookgreen’s private events team helps couples choose the space that fits their guest count and season.
One thing worth knowing early: Brookgreen reserves portraits on the property for couples who are having their wedding there, which keeps a Brookgreen wedding feeling special.


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.
