Portraits of the bride and groom on the lawn before the ceremony - Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort

Outdoor wedding and reception at the Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort

January 24, 2024 by Ryan Smith

I’m excited to have extra time to post pictures from some of my favorite weddings of 2023. Sean and Beckie were married on October 13th, 2023, at the Hilton Resort in Myrtle Beach. I’ve done many weddings at the Hilton, but this was my first where the reception was held outdoors. Even with a windy day and rain later in the evening, this couple and their guests had a blast, and I captured some of my favorite dancing of the year! I also loved the bride’s light blue dress. It’s great for my photography when a wedding has something unique. …

Groom leaning back bride for a kiss by the lake - Kingston Plantation Myrtle Beach

Springtime wedding on the lawn at the Hilton Myrtle Beach Resort

October 3, 2019May 17, 2018 by Ryan Smith

The Hilton Resort in Myrtle Beach is always a great place to photograph a wedding. It’s been a little over a year since my last wedding at the Hilton. That previous wedding was on the beach sand instead of the lawn so if you are interested in fun beach pictures at the Hilton check out last year’s wedding. The ceremony for this latest wedding was held on the lawn behind the Hilton Resort next to the gazebo. This is a very pretty area and there is always some nice shade from the hotel towers even a little earlier in the …

Carrying his bride over the water - Hilton at Kingston Plantation

Hilton at Kingston Plantation wedding with a ceremony on the beach

March 17, 2023September 11, 2016 by Ryan Smith

This was the first time I’ve photographed a wedding at the Myrtle Beach Hilton at Kingston Plantation, where the couple had a ceremony on the beach sand. At many of my beach weddings, the bride ends up squinting from the sun. Because of the large Hilton tower in the background, this ceremony area was nicely shaded from the afternoon sun. This allowed me to take really nice pictures of the bride looking at the groom during their vows. The only problem with this area of Myrtle Beach is that it’s very crowded. We had a number of beachgoers standing in …

Fun wedding on the lawn at the Hilton in Myrtle Beach

It’s been a couple of years since I photographed a wedding at the Hilton in Myrtle Beach. Using the new search box on my website menu, I put in Hilton and realized I hadn’t made a blog post for that location since 2010. By the way, my entire site is now running on WordPress so you can search for anything throughout my site. It’s nice if you want to see pictures from a particular location. Try out some searches and see what you find. You might have noticed that my website has gone through some changes. It should be speedy …

Wedding at Embassy Suites, Kingston Plantation

March 23, 2023September 30, 2010 by Ryan Smith

I had another wedding at Kingston Plantation up in North Myrtle Beach this past weekend. Everything went really smoothly. I think it was the largest wedding party I’ve ever had. I actually just looked at one of the pictures again to count, it looks like 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen. I had to do one shot during the wedding ceremony where I combined three different pictures into a panorama to get the entire wedding party without seeing the backs of the audience. Photoshop is amazing for stitching panoramas like that. One of my favorite shots below was the party pretending to play …
