Wachesaw Plantation Club, Murrell’s Inlet, South Carolina Wedding Ceremony

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

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.

Wachesaw Plantation Club, Murrell’s Inlet South Carolina Wedding Reception

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

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.
