We saw a lot of familiar faces in our booth. Some of our current brides who are getting married this year stopped by to say hello. We also saw some guests from our previous weddings who are now getting married as well.

Thanks to everyone who came and dropped by our booth!

We happened to all work together during Joslynn’s wedding in Charleston, SC aboard the Spiritline Cruises. (SilvasPhoto was doing videography and Tillman Branch was doing photography). After a while, we realized that Brian and Mike share the same chiropractor. Small world, eh? Talk about less than six degrees of separation.

Here are some of the things people say about SilvasPhoto.

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.

Here is the bride and groom.

Location: Kimball’s, Wachesaw Plantation Club, Murrell’s Inlet, South Carolina

Wedding Videographer: David Frantz www.davidfrantz.com
Catering: Charlene Sitas wpccatering@wachesaw.com

Here is the bride in their reception venue at Kimbell’s in Wachesaw Plantation in Murrell’s Inlet.

I thought these black table napkins were just so elegant!

During the reception, they had a little game where the bride and groom were sitting back to back and the host asked questions like, “Who’s the better cook?”, “Who is more creative?” and the bride and groom had to answer by raising the right shoe.

In lieu of the usual reception fare such as the first dance, cake cutting, etc., the bride and groom opted to have a mini-talent show instead to showcase the many talents of their friends and family. I have never seen so much talent in one room. They had people singing, tap-dancing, playing the harmonica, playing the guitar, playing the violin, doing a magic act and doing a baton routine.

Here is a particularly crowd-pleasing performance during the talent show.

These two little girls were attentive throughout the entire show.

Here is what Amy had to say about her wedding photos:

Dear Honey and Brian,

We received the pictures, thank you! They are great, some really spectacular ones! Please let me know if you ever need me to give a recommendation, I would be happy to do that. I feel quite lucky that I found you on such short notice, thank you for your hard work!

I wish you the best, I am sure that you will be very successful in this career.

Sincerely,

Amy

We had a very fun and energetic Portrait Session with Mia in Downtown Charleston, South Carolina.

Mia was very happy during this day.

It was a great day to be out and about.

We spent most of the time chasing after squirrels, birds, dogs and anything that moves. Here she meets a very unique dog.

Here is her running.

… and running!

… and running some more!

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.

This is what Holly had to say about the photos.

“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. ”
       - Holly, Folly Beach, South Carolina

Here is Holly & Shane’s wedding video from their wedding in Folly Beach, South Carolina.

The best thing (for me) about this whole wedding is Holly’s white parasol.  Holly is just the prettiest bride.

Currently our favorite wedding ceremony location is the Old Sheldon Church Ruins. It’s just a really romantic place with lots of character. It’s in Beaufort, South Carolina near Yemassee, SC.

The Old Sheldon Church was previously known as  Prince William Parish Church and was organized and funded in 1740’s and 50’s by William Bull, whose plantation bordered the church grounds.  It  was set on fire during the Revolutionary War and again on January 14, 1865 during the “March to the Sea” Campaign.

After our big day from the Old Sheldon Church Wedding, we had another photo shoot, this time a boudoir portrait session. 

Theresa wanted to give her husband a special gift for Christmas. She was very cooperative and easy to work with and top of that, she was really pretty.  She had three different outfits for this photo shoot.

This boudoir photography session was shot in Summerville, South Carolina.

Here is one of my favorite shots from the shoot.

This is in a blue bedroom with blue sheets.

This is Theresa against her beautiful tiled windows.

Here is her wearing her husbands military uniform.

This is one of her in her bathtub.

In the boudoir.

A very cool silhouette.

Theresa and her husband were very happy with the photographs.  In fact, here is what she said after she got the photos:

“I had been thinking about getting boudoir photos taken to send to my
husband overseas, but I was nervous about having such intimate photos
taken by a complete stranger. Honey made me feel completely comfortable. The session went smoothly,
and they were always willing to be flexible and answer any questions I
had. I had a great time, and my husband loved them!”

This is Theresa and Brent’s engagement session in the Pineapple Fountain in Waterfront Park, Downtown Charleston, South Carolina. They are getting married next year in Cypress Gardens and they wanted engagement photos.

Waterfront Park is a really popular place to take engagement pictures because when I came here, I saw 2 (husband and wife?) photographers doing another engagement session and another photographer doing a bridal portrait session.

Pineapple Fountain in Waterfront Park at Downtown Charleston, SC.

Here they are kissing in front of the pineapple fountain.

More kissing in front of the pineapple fountain.

After all that kissing, they got tired, so they decided to rest for a while.

We decided to check out the rooftop of a nearby bar, overlooking downtown Charleston.

The sky was gorgeous so I decided to use it as a backdrop.

Here are the latest photos from my latest Engagement Session in Azalea Park in Summerville, South Carolina.

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.

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.

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.

Here is the bride and groom looking out into the sea.

Here is the bride and groom sharing a kiss.
