Huntington Beach State Park Wedding: Caroline + Brad

Weddings

9 Jun

I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of one of my cousin-in-laws (is that correct terminology?) last weekend at Huntington Beach State Park located in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. After much thought and planning, Caroline and Brad opted for a beach wedding and I’m so glad they did! How beautiful it was! So… they made the trek, along with friends and family, all the way from Tennessee.

Brad and Caroline, it was my pleasure capturing your big day and I hope you enjoy this sneak-peek of what is to come! Many thanks to my pa-in-law for enduring the humidity and heat with the fellas to capture their side of the story!

Now this is what bridesmaids are for! What a wonderful group of ladies– you all were awesome! And a quick shot of the newly-weds after the ceremony

A fallen piece of tree + gorgeous ladies= a photographers dream!

And here we have the entire wedding party looking FAB!

Aww. She adores you Brad!

Now how fun was THIS. The ladies were so adventurous and even wanted to play in the water 🙂

And you know I have to add in how awesome the florist was! And not only did Kim Wehunt with All in the Details act as florist, but she also directed the wedding, made the cake, and catered the food for the reception. She even brought her husband along who played the steel drum at the wedding and was the dj at the reception! Check out some of the work provided by All in the Details. Each bouquet had a little ladybug– LOVE.

And for the viewers that do not know this couple, Caroline is an awesome performer and I know this because I’ve also had the pleasure of attending one of her showcases in Nashville. Here she is with her father cuttin’ the rug! Must be where she gets her moves 🙂 Love ya Johnny.

We love you guys and hope you are enjoying yourselves South of the border!

Stay in the know!

Our next Montana adventure was a beautiful hike! C
Our next Montana adventure was a beautiful hike! Can’t go to Montana without putting in some steps. 😁 And it’s always the best when the hike includes amazing views along the way. It’s no big deal to pass people hiking and everyone has pistols strapped to their chests. Just an observation- which I don’t mind one bit. After all, we were in grizzly/ mountain lion/ moose country.  You can see on the wilderness sign that grizzlies have clawed it and bitten chunks out of it. 😅 I learned that the huge rock fields we passed attract grizzlies, where they source a certain type of moth for nutrition. They can be heard at times, flipping boulders in search of those moths. 

We also had our little sidekick Pippa along on the adventure, too! We fell in love with that little doggo while there. 🥰 And found an awesome patch of huckleberries rambling around on the national forest. They are SO. GOOD! So very thankful for the Cole family adventuring with us!

We arrived in Montana Aug. 1 and re-connected with our friends, who were so gracious to host us while visiting. (Seriously, so blessed! 🙏) Jason met Seth back in 2005ish through work, when both couples lived in Tennessee, and hit it off instantly. We have remained friends through having families, and moving in different directions, and now our kiddos have been able to grow up knowing each other.  Couples friends are hard to find in life and we don’t take that for granted!

The first adventure was a ride on the road up the mountain behind their house. Holy moly what a view, right in their backyard, basically! 😱

Our family is 21 years old today! 8/14/04 Thank you, Lord, for leading us to each other all those years ago as high school students. 🥹💜

We also recently finished a series of videos that I wish we would have had as newlyweds, so I want to share them with you today. So incredibly important as you walk through life in a marriage, because it’s downright HARD at times, but 100% worth it! 🙏

God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light… 
If creation still obeys you, so will I!

We’ve been to Montana and back the last 11 days!
We’ve been to Montana and back the last 11 days!!! I have saved a highlight if you haven’t been following along in my stories. 💜 We had the most wonderful time as always visiting the best of friends and the wilds of a land that has forever captured our hearts! (For those new around here, we had the pleasure of living in Montana twice now- 2017 and 2019- for 4 months each time.) I have about 3k photos to sort through, between 3 different cameras (😆), so be prepared for a photo dump. We made it home last night at 2am, then dove right back into our first day of school (and homeschool community day) at 8:30am this morning. 😮‍💨The jet lag is real.

16.

Sixteen years of being this amazing child’s mother. I can’t believe we are here. Today he wanted to spend his day eating barbecue and scouring graveyards for confederate graves. 😳 (I have never?! 🤣) But that’s our Gus! He’s easy-going, tender-hearted, and doesn’t hurry for anything. He loves old, classic country and rock music, and prefers to listen to them from CASSETTE TAPES. 🫠 He loves old soda bottles- the Mountain Dew bottle (from EBay) with his name on it was his only birthday gift request. 🥹 He wants an old truck one day. His favorite shows are Andy Griffith and The Beverly Hillbillies. His biggest desire right now is to be a part of a civil war reenactment because history is his absolute favorite! As a friend said, “he’s a million years old at heart”, and he is helping me appreciate things in life I would typically have just blown right past! SO thankful God has afforded us the privilege of being a part of raising this young man. 🙏
