Wachesaw Plantation Club, Murrell’s Inlet, South Carolina Wedding Ceremony         July 23rd, 2011

I had a great opportunity to photography an unusual and unique wedding in Murrell’s Inlet, South Carolina, near Myrtle Beach. There are so many things to blog about so I will be writing about this wedding in two posts.

The wedding was held in Wachesaw Plantation Club.

Here is the bride overlooking Waccamaw River.

The bride and groom decided to see each other before the ceremony to be able to do some portraits with friends and family.

They had guests from all over the country and all over the world.

Instead of having somebody officiate the wedding, they had friends and family read passages or sing instead.

The bride and groom read some passages too.

Folly Beach, South Carolina Wedding Photos         July 21st, 2011

Here are the pictures from Holly and Shane’s beach wedding in Folly Beach, South Carolina. 

Holly, in this photo, reminds me a little bit of Nicole Kidman.  I feel like anytime now she is gonna be twitching her nose (a la Bewitched).

Silvas Photo went above and beyond all of our expectations for our wedding photographers. They kept in complete contact with us and they were there to answer any questions or uncertainties we had. During the wedding and reception you hardly noticed them there. They never got in our way or interrupted anything. We now have the wedding photos of our dreams. We appreciate everything they have done for us and we will definitely recommend them to everyone we know. ”

Wedding in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina         July 17th, 2011

Our most recent wedding was a wedding by the beach in Hilton Head Island. This was a bit of a last-minute booking, but since the wedding was on a Tuesday, we were available.

Nicole flew in all the way from Wisconsin to be with Joshua.  They are planning another wedding next year for her family in Wisconsin.

This was taken right before the wedding ceremony. They were fixing her veil, and they were joking with her and she laughed, so I took the shot.

The happy bride

This is a photo of the groom fixing his military uniform.

This is one of my favorite photos from the wedding. For me, this is the definition of a radiant bride.

Radiant Bride

Joshua laid out flowers on the sand to serve as a kind of altar for them to stand in the middle of.

It was a very small and intimate wedding by the beach.
