While working on my next wedding post, i thought i’d share something to entertain you this week… behind the scenes.

Nice shots. It seems you’ve found yourself quite a couple, great !:) I’m in love with this wedding! and the people in it!!! Michelle and Ryan were such a blast to work with. They are both kind, genuine and always mindful and thoughtful of other people. Their friends and families were a treat to meet and party with. We were honored to be a part of this wonderful celebration.
LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Just sayin,!
Ron took a photograph of me taking photographs of the boys.
LOVE these series! I so appreciate Michelle and Ryan for giving me the time to run away with them for a brief moment before the reception started. It’s all worth it in the end

Very nice set. I like the last one. A bit messy but very powerfull emotionally. On May 15, Team CVI ventured out to Dataw Island, outside of Beaufort, South Carolina to shoot Caroline and Thomas’ wedding celebration. We were so stoked to be a part of their celebration. We had the coolest wedding party (not to mention,very good looking). The details, floral and decor were just absolutely amazing. The whole event was flawlessly executed by W.E.D. Congratulations to Thomas and Caroline and we wish them the best as they begin their life together.
Thank you Ron Montgomery for shooting decor for us! To see their slideshow, click here
much love and many blessings, Virgil

by Virgil Bunao no comments Remember Heidi and Anthony ? These 2 looked so good and cute, i wanted to pinch their cheeks. It was a wedding full of magic, love, connection, and emotion. I’ve been looking forward to Heidi and Anthony since the day they commissioned me to be their photographer. I loved every minute of my experience with these two whether it’d be just a phone call, or a facebook message exchange. Heidi and Anthony are kind, sweet and genuine people who care about other people. Every fiber of my body was touched by what i have witnessed during this celebration. I am very grateful that we got to be a part of it.
I just
I just LOVE Heidi’s expression here. LOVE the engravings too on Anthony’s ring. Yup, it takes that many to help a bride put on a dress. Every bride needs her support group.
Hattie’s shot this. LOVe it.
Another shot by Hattie. She went to town with my Canon 300mm 2.8L A clever shot by Hattie from behind, while i take pictures of the couple from the front.
LOVE the light in this series. So delicious!
This was at the 17th Island Hole. I am so glad we were able to get on there. I feel sorry for the golfers who had to wait. But you can’t really get mad at a woman wearing THE white dress. It’s her day. And another shot by Hattie. Love the angle and the composition on this. To the left of this picture, do you see my arm?
Thank you for looking. for the slideshow, click here

I love your canon 300mm! I think I just have an awsome teacher!

Fantastic outdoor shots!

Beautiful shots. I love getting the brides on #17, but as a golfer I always cringe when their heels leave marks on the green.

Love this post!! Your blog looks amazing. I’m a little jealous Charleston will always be second home to Katie and Sean. From the day i met these two, i said to myself, “pls. pls. pretty please, God let me shoot this wedding.” And I believe God listened. We enjoyed every minute of this carefree wedding. Katie and Sean’s connection is just phenomenal. I really enjoyed and loved taking photographs of them. Here are some kick-ass images we captured that day.
None of these images would have been possible without the help of wedding planning extraordinaire, Stacey Fraunfelter of Red Letter Events. much love, Virgil by Virgil Bunao show 1 comment

That was a good wedding and you did a great job of capturing it. It was nice to meet you! Remember Kristi and Ziga? Kristi and Ziga’s wedding was one of those weddings where shots after shots, stories after stories were unfolding before my very eyes. I didn’t have to look for them. Things just kept popping up in front of me and all i had to do was to point and shoot. The light was gorgeous everywhere i went. Kristi and Ziga and company were a DELIGHT to work with. Positive energy were all over the place. And we loved it. Sometimes, in events like these, i just stand back and take a second and ask myself, “i do this for a living? i actually get compensated to shoot beautiful images that’s already there and make a living doing it and have a blast at the same time? How blessed am i?” Anyhoo, the beautiful images would not have materialized without the expertise of the megastar wedding planner, decorator and bride whisperer Stacey Fraunfelter of Red Letter Events. Such an amazing, hard working, detail-oriented person to work with. Love her! So in closing, Dr. Kristi Norris is one awesome bride. Dr. Ziga Cizma is one great guy. Both, i had the absolute pressure to meet, and got to know. I wish they lived closer. I will now stop chatting, and let the images tell their stories.
Here’s me, trying to get some shots of the father of the bride, minutes before the ceremony starts.
Here’s me again, going for the shot and trying to be less obtrusive, (thanks Ron!).
So lovely. just gorgeous light. LOVIN’ IT! Best man was trying to “drop it like it’s hot”. A break-dancer trying to drink rum and coke from the floor.

Wonderfull set! Great shot with bride standing in the hall and window behind her. Love it. I love and adore these two, Dr. Lindsay and Mr. Matt Stewart. If you keep up with this blog or my tweets, i often touch on love and connection. That’s one thing that i look for in every couple when i take photographs of them. It is easier because love and excitement and zest naturally flows out in the open. I found that right away when Lindsay, Matt and I did their engagement session. They had an amazing love for each other. Their connection is so visible and that you could just tell that this one will last forever! Anyhoo, with so many doctors at this wedding, i’ve never felt so safe We were able to work with the fabulous Cindy Zingerella and team of Engaging Event Church: St Lukes Chapel Reception: Rice Mill Building Catering: Good Food Catering Band: Flashback Florist: Judy Johnston Cake: Elaine Mincey

Virgil, you have outdone yourself. yes, I know i’m biased, but these pictures are GREAT! better than i could have hoped for! I’m lucky to have several of my images place on International Society of Professional Wedding Photographer’s (ISPWP) Quarterly Contest. Check them out,,,
If I were given the opportunity to thank anyone for this recognition, i thank my amazing clients who trust me (and my team) and for being as committed as i am (if not more) in capturing some great images of their wedding day. I would also like to thank my assistants that worked with me to cover these weddings, Ron Montgomery and Hattie Coryell. They give me a lot of room and a lot of help and support to make it possible for me “to play” and nail the shots i envisioned. So thank you Ron and Hattie!

by Virgil Bunao no comments i heart e-sessions. It gives the opportunity to get to know my clients, on more of a personal level. i honestly think that my wedding images are better when i photograph my couples way before the wedding. What do you think? Here’s Alison and Andrew who are tying the knot in November. I can’t wait!            much love, V by Virgil Bunao show 1 comment
