Here are photos from Theresa and Brent’s wedding at Cypress Gardens at Goose Creek, South Carolina.
You might remember them from the fabulous engagement session that we had in Downtown Charleston, SC.
You can view their engagement session pictures here.
This is my favorite shot of the day.
Aren’t these the cutest little shoes?
This is a great shot of the back of her dress.
Here are the groom with the groomsmen. Brent was the only one who didn’t have sunglasses so we had to lend him ours. This is an orange sunglass by the way.
This is Theresa, just chillin’.
This next photo was a great idea of Theresa’s. This was done before the wedding ceremony. We took this photo with Theresa and Brent holding each other’s hands but not seeing each other.
There’s something very ethereal about this photo.
I got some nice sun flare during the ceremony too.
Cypress Gardens is such a beautiful venue.

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).
Here is the bride while getting ready.
It was the perfect day for a wedding. I was so glad it didn’t rain.
After the wedding ceremony.

“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 photography is one of the most important parts of the wedding. After the wedding, the flowers will wilt, the food will be eaten, the decorations will be thrown away, but the wedding photos and the wedding album will stay with the family for years and years to come. Most people still have their parents’ or grandparents’ wedding albums 10, 20, 50 years after the wedding.
The wedding day is the one day in a person’s life that they actually NEED a professional photographer. The bride looks more beautiful on this day than any other day in her life. She has probably spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on the wedding dress, her makeup, her hairstyle, her shoes and her accessories. You need a professional photographer to make sure that you and your wedding are captured in the best way possible.
How to choose a wedding photographer
Price
A major consideration for most wedding couples is the price. Some couples allot 10% of their wedding budget for the photographer; others allot 60% of their wedding budget. It all depends on how important wedding photography is in your priorities.
Wedding photographers range anywhere from $900 - $5000. Usually, the higher you pay, the better quality photography you will get. This is because, in general, better wedding photographers are able charge more. Sometimes, you will luck out and get somebody really good but still in the early part of their career so you can get a lower price.
Generally, depending on your needs, it is cheaper to buy a whole package than buying a la carte.
Wedding Photography Package In today’s digital age, it is very important to own a CD of your wedding photos. Make sure your wedding photography package includes a CD of your high-resolution images that you will be able to print, view and share from, or that it is relatively inexpensive to purchase it from your wedding photographer.
Style There are different styles of wedding photography.
Traditional Wedding Photography
This is the photographic style from our parents’ and grandparents’ wedding albums. In traditional wedding photography, the photographer poses and sets up everything. This produces very pleasing, formal, “perfect” images which sometimes might seem too unnatural or contrived.
Photojournalistic Wedding Photography
(also called documentary, candid photojournalism)
In photojournalistic wedding photography, the photographer captures moments as they happen and doesn’t direct any action at all. The resulting photographs look more natural but might be too gritty sometimes.
Portrait Journalism
Portrait Journalism is a blend of the traditional and photojournalistic style. This is a great compromise for people who want the more modern look of photojournalism but also a little bit of the traditional elegant poses.
When you find a wedding photographer that you like, book him or her as soon as possible to ensure their availability. Most wedding photographers reserve dates on a first-come, first-served basis so make sure you book them so you don’t miss out.
