Ryan Smith – Myrtle Beach Photography Blog

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.

I haven’t posted to the blog in a while, I’ve just been really busy.  I’ve got two weddings this weekend and have been working on albums and things.  I just thought I would quickly put up some of my favorites from the last week or so.  I’ve had some pretty grumpy kids recently but it seems like if I just give them enough time I can always get some good shots.

I really liked some pictures of a 2 year old boy from the MB State Park.  Like usual at that age it was difficult to get him to cooperate, but I took enough pictures I eventually got some really good ones.  Here are a few below, I hope you like them.

I sure do love my equipment. Photographers will tell you it’s not the equipment, but there is just no way you can catch good pictures of a stubborn 2 year old without top of the line lenses. Nikon’s 24-70 focuses unbelievably fast and perfect at f2.8.

I had another really nice wedding this past weekend. It was the most beautiful spot up past Ocean Isle in NC. I’ll put a few of my favorite pictures below, but I really liked almost all of them. This is the first time I’ve seen a groom really shove the cake in a brides face, I just barely got a picture of it I was having to move fast. Enjoy the pictures.
