Wedding at Embassy Suites, Kingston Plantation

Posted on September 30, 2010 by Ryan Smith

I had another wedding at Kingston Plantation up in North Myrtle Beach this past weekend. Everything went really smoothly. I think it was the largest wedding party I’ve ever had. I actually just looked at one of the pictures again to count, it looks like 10 bridesmaids and 10 groomsmen. I had to do one shot during the wedding ceremony where I combined 3 different pictures into a panorama to get the entire wedding party without seeing the backs of the audience. Photoshop is amazing for stitching panoramas like that. One of my favorite shots below was the party pretending to play football, they were all big football fans. I’ve never been really into football myself, but I could get from the reception there was a big rivalry going on between the bride and groom family’s home teams. Remember, any silly fun ideas you come up with for pictures I will be glad to try. They can turn out really nice, and if they don’t, it’s no big deal. I hope you enjoy some shots below.

One of these is not like the others, can you spot it?

Wedding at the Hilton at Kingston Plantation

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Ryan Smith

This was probably one of my favorite weddings this month so far. It was a really nice location behind the Hilton and the weather and everything worked out really good. It’s always better when the ceremony is closer to sunset like this one was, the only problem is we really had to rush to get everything in before dark. Everything in a wedding takes a little longer than planned. I put a few of the pictures from that day below, I really liked how emotional the bride and groom got during the ceremony. I snapped even more shots than usual because I wanted to get every expression. I hope you enjoy these.

Fun reception in the rain

Posted on June 19, 2010 by Ryan Smith

Last weekend I had two weddings both outdoors. The weather has been extremely hot, two weddings in the heat is really a killer. I don’t have time to post many pictures, but I picked out some that I liked from my Sunday wedding in North Myrtle Beach. I’m already loading into my computer more wedding pictures from today, in June things are kind of non stop. The wedding shown below was quite a party, they really had some fun. I’ve never seen a first dance quite like they did, but I like it when things are just fun and everyone is more relaxed. Garter toss

Wedding in Kingston Plantation, North Myrtle Beach

Posted on April 28, 2010 by Ryan Smith

I loved almost all the pictures from last weekend’s wedding at Kingston Plantation in North Myrtle Beach. They had to move the wedding inside because of the rain, but with really nice light coming in the windows I thought it turned out really nice. The Nikon D700 is almost noiseless at the iso800 I was shooting at, that way the beautiful ambient light coming in the windows lit the scene, I just used the flash to put a little sparkle in the eyes. I’m putting a few of the images below, if I upload any more shots they can be seen in my live photo stream at http://www.myrtlebeachphotography.org/live_stream.html.
