Palmetto Bluff offers a variety of picturesque settings for engagement photos. Popular spots include the May River Chapel, the docks along the riverfront, and the Montage property.
Spring and fall are ideal seasons for engagement photos at Palmetto Bluff, offering mild temperatures and beautiful natural backdrops.
Neutral tones and soft, breathable fabrics pair beautifully with Palmetto Bluff’s natural backdrops. Outfits that feel timeless work well against the backdrop of historic homes and the waterfront.
Golden hour — just after sunrise or right before sunset — is the best time to photograph Palmetto Bluff’s warm tones and Spanish moss-draped trees.
For spring and fall, it's recommended to book two to four months in advance, as those dates fill quickly. Planning early ensures availability and optimal lighting.
