Tree id help, please

There is a very pretty tree growing on the bank of the drainage ditch next to our house. It has white flowers that remind me of the itea I planted last year, but the leaves don't quite match. I think, and I may have to go back and find pictures, that it had dark little berries on it last year.

I'm in coastal SC, zone 8a (or 8b according to some maps).

There's another, smaller version of this tree a couple of metres away. This plant is competing for space with a wax myrtle and a dogwood, but you can see the white flowers on branches out to the left.

Next, a picture of the bigger tree. It's a mess in there, with some runaway vines, a branch from another tree that broke during February's ice-storm and can't be accessed safely at the moment, so it's staying right now.

And two photos of the flowers from that tree.
