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!
