This is the first wedding I’ve done at Litchfield Plantation. It’s a very beautiful area. I always like the Litchfield / Pawleys Island area with all the moss-covered Oak trees. It’s so pretty if you can get the light coming through the trees just right in the evening. One of my favorite bridal portraits ever was down in this area. Just in case you are not familiar, Litchfield is about 20 minutes south of Myrtle Beach, down business 17. Many of the best spots, with beautiful trees, are away from the beach near the Intracoastal waterway. I will post some extra pictures below of the carriage ride and some shots of the location that you won’t see in my galleries or on Facebook. I hope you enjoy them.

Ryan, these are very pretty. You are right, the area is beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Omigoodness Ryan, this is awesome! Thanks so much for such awesome memories! :)
It was a really fine celebration.
The special emotion captured during a wonderful father/daughter dance like this provides vicarious enjoyment for friends and family gathered to share in this heartfelt memorable moment—the kind of fun that deeply entertains.
