Welcome to Silvercord Event Photography
My name is Sally Siko, thanks for checking out my blog! This is the spot on the website where you can check out my Instagram feed (in no particular order), read my outdoor wedding tips & advice plus get a sneak peek at all of behind the scenes happenings here at Silvercord. To see my most recent wedding photography work from this year, please check out my portfolio by clicking on the link above.
I serve couples locally throughout the Triangle region including Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. That being said, as you can see here on this blog, I LOVE to travel, so from the coast of the OBX, to the mountains in Asheville, or even to the peaks of Shennandoah National Park in Virginia, if you are finding a connection here to my style of outdoor wedding photography, send me a message because I'd love to capture your wedding day too!

There is a special kind of magic in the air during late June here in North Carolina. The way that sunlight seems to dance and sparkle as it reflects off of the water of a lazy river. The buzz of cicadas and the songs of wood thrushes lay the soundtrack of summertime in the woods, while busy squirrels play in the branches and boughs of towering emer...

The guests are waiting for the outdoor wedding ceremony to begin. This wedding was unique in that the couple wanted to be surrounded by their families and friends during their ceremony. So, instead of providing traditional seating they requested that their loved ones stand with them as they exchanged their vows...... #raleighweddingphotography #out...

Reception before the wedding ceremony? Yes please!

I liked that at this wedding, the couple decided to hold their reception dinner before their ceremony. Since it was in the 90’s that day, it was mighty nice to spend a while in the air conditioned comfort of the barn at Snipes Farm. I took this pic of this pretty wedding guest showing her cute table card to a friend. I thought her hair was classica...

It was nice to come on inside to the air conditioning in the main barn reception area to take a few photos before everyone arrived.

This is the view that greeted me when I arrived at Snipes Farm Retreat in Chapel Hill a few weeks ago on a warm Saturday afternoon. As you can see, it was looking like maybe rain was on the way. I was not unhappy about this because I absolutely love cloudy skies when I’m shooting. It’s especially neat when the sun peeks out and makes those dark clo...
