Cypress Gardens engagement photos

Charleston Engagement

It’s a movie set for a reason

If you’re a fan of the movie “The Notebook,” then you’ll understand my excitement about these Cypress Gardens engagement photos! Cypress Gardens is the picturesque location, where Noah and Allie had their iconic boat ride scene. It’s the perfect setting for any couple looking to capture their love story in a magical way.

Just imagine strolling hand in hand through the stunning gardens, surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush greenery. With its charming gazebo, tranquil ponds, and romantic pathways, Cypress Gardens offers endless possibilities for breathtaking engagement photos that will make your heart skip a beat.

Cypress garden is a great alternative for Cypress Gardens engagement photos

Cypress Gardens is a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of nature. Offering a stunning backdrop for your engagement photos. We love this place because of the unique option to do a boat ride on through the swamp. It is really a fantastic experience to slowly float on the ponds filled with lilies while the sunshine is breaking through some trees creating beautiful reflections and you’re in your own real-life version of “The Notebook”. Cypress Gardens offers truly a unique setting.

Since Cypress Gardens is about 40 minutes away from Charleston, it is also low trafficked compared to other Charleston gardens and you are able to enjoy its tranquility.

We absolutely recommend a visit no matter if you plan to take engagement photos or just want to enjoy some time together!

Note: The Notebook wasnt the only movie filmed at Cypress Gardens. Also the Patriot had several scenes here. Click on the link to get more info.
