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!

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. Snipes Farm Retreat is an excellent venue to get married outside but it’s pretty darn great that there is a place here to escape the summer heat on wedding day!..... #raleighweddingphotography #outdoorweddingphotograph...

Happy to return to Snipes Farm Retreat for a wedding in Chapel Hill

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...

24 K love, Golden Hour photography time at Shady wagon Farm

Nothing quite like portrait time in a field set ablaze by the setting sun. It’s fun to try and capture the most pleasing light, that which truly lends the feel of the moment at hand. As some of you know, I learned the art of photography “backwards” which is to say that I learned how to use a flash in a studio first and then moved on to using “natur...

Soon after B & C's arrival at the farm, we got started taking the "formal" photos first...

I am seriously lucky to get to work with people like this!

Over the past few years, I have given a lot of thought to the idea of trying too seek out my “ideal clients”. It’s not easy to find these gems, but...

One of the best parts of my job is that I occasionally get to meet various dogs while working. This is Duke & Georgina 😍 They live with their human (who happens to be the owner) of the Shady Wagon Farm. Guys, the family that runs this wedding venue are the nicest people I’ve ever met (venue owner wise). The staff truly understands the idea of what...
