What is Rustic Wild Arrow?
Rustic Wild Arrow (RWA) Photo Garden is a unique photography space located in Brooklyn, MI. Nestled in the woods on private property, the garden offers both indoor and outdoor settings, providing photographers and visitors with a variety of beautifully curated environments to explore and capture stunning images. While primarily designed for professional photographers and their clients, RWA is also open for individuals who wish to book a session and take their own photos.
Our Story
RWA Photo Garden began in 2020 as a personal project for Holly and her husband. Initially intended as a family hangout, the space quickly gained attention after Holly shared her DIY projects on social media. Local photographers and the community expressed interest, leading to the official opening of the garden just one month after the completion of its first structure.
Seasonal Availability & Styling
RWA operates year-round but closes every April for maintenance and seasonal updates. The first open weekend of the season aligns with Mother’s Day, and the garden remains open through the second week of December. The space undergoes seasonal transformations, ensuring a fresh and unique experience each year with new set designs and styled spaces.

I have now used the barn in the spring, and the garden in the fall and I cannot say enough about Holly! She is so great to work with from booking to checking in on me during my long days in the garden. she is a great communicator and don't even get me started on her design abilities, the amount of detail that goes into her designs is impressive and so beautiful! don't hesitate to check the garden out! you will not regret it!

PHOTO GARDEN
Expanding my love for decorating and creating fun spaces, I created a fun photo garden for the public to rent and enjoy! I started the garden back in May 2020 as just a fun space for my family. Well, fast forward and here I am offering it to photographers/the public to come out and use and enjoy the space while taking photos with all of the fun whimsical set ups I created. I promise to you that every time you come out to our garden each year it’ll be a completely different feel with added touches to it.
