The Best Places For Wedding Photos
In Each Abernethy Venue
Hello Smooch Readers,
Spring is in full bloom around Abernethy Center. Abigail’s Garden just opened for the season, and the Veiled Garden is alive with weekly wedding energy and the subtle song of seasonal birds. It feels like a magical time around the grounds as excitement builds for a busy summer season! Perhaps as fuel for my summer wedding daydreams, I’ve recently revisited some of our favorite photo galleries, leading to the inspiration for this post. Today I’m highlighting the best spots in each Abernethy venue to take wedding photos.
There’s no shortage of unique or beautiful photo backdrops on the nine-acre Abernethy property. The wooded hillsides, rolling lawns, natural streams, and whimsical gardens will give your photographer plenty to work with—no matter which Abernethy venue you choose. But since your photographer will ask for a “shot list,” here are some unique locations to keep in mind, organized by venue.
Veiled Garden, Chapel + Ballroom
This venue combination really has it all, including diverse and distinctive backdrops for your wedding photos. The chapel has a classic aesthetic, and the Veiled Garden is woodsy and romantic, while the ballroom’s historic brick facade and patio cafe lighting offer minimalist, contemporary vibes.

Abigail’s Garden
Abigail’s Garden is full of breathtaking natural photo ops. The venue sits on almost 4-acres of meticulously landscaped gardens and rolling green space along Abernethy Creek, surrounded by a thick perimeter of mature privacy trees that provide both shade and a beautiful natural backdrop for wedding photos.
