Especially for Myrtle Beach wedding photographers, it is important to have proper business licenses. At Myrtle Beach city-owned locations, they will check the license status of all your vendors, and they will not allow the wedding if any vendors lack a license. The Myrtle Beach city limits don't allow weddings on the beach, but the city limits are a small part of the Grand Strand area. North Myrtle Beach also requires a new permit to do photography on the beach in addition to a business license, and I have this new permit as well. Check out more info here if you are planning a beach wedding. I keep a business license for Charleston, Horry County, North Myrtle Beach, and Myrtle Beach. I'm also a licensed retail business with SC. Ryan Smith Photography is also a registered trademark. I recommend always making sure your vendors have proper business licenses before booking. I don't update the images below annually but can provide up-to-date copies upon request. I'm also a Part 107 FAA-certified remote UAS drone pilot. While I don't use a drone very often at weddings, I'm certified to do this professionally if you ever want photography or location shots from the air.
