Shane and Nicole | Sweet Apple Farm Wedding

Weddings

11 Jun

I had the pleasure of traveling to Pell City, AL to photograph Shane and Nicole’s wedding at the gorgeous Applewood Farm– a premier wedding and event venue! Nicole is my husband’s cousin, so I was so fortunate to have my whole family in tow as well for this wedding! And if any of you know my son (pictured later) I’m pretty sure he could pass as Nicole’s son. LOL! Red-headed, brown-eyed sweeties.

The rain threatened to fall all day, and caused an unforeseen change of plans just an hour before the ceremony was to start; however, while so many worked to re-locate the ceremony indoors, Shane and Nicole were cool as cucumbers! They were about to be husband and wife and nothing, not even the weather, would prevent that! That was allll that mattered at that very moment. These two are the sweetest couple and they surely did not let a little rain put a damper on their wedding day! Thus, we made the porches and interiors of the home and cabin on the property work for us! Nicole you were such a beautiful bride!!!

Bless their hearts, I made them stand in the drizzle for this shot! LOL They were the most cooperative wedding party EVAH! But no worries, we ran right back inside as quick as possible as all the little ones were waiting for us but We had a special surprise for them,  a great playtime in the Jumper’s Jungle Family Fun Center, special for all ages.

I just adored the use of antiques throughout the decor!

I had to throw these next two in because you see, I very rarely am captured IN photos… let alone WITH my son. I know, that’s horrible; but I’m so thankful for these two photos that my wonderful husband, second shooter captured!

I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always
I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always have. And that doesn’t stop when they are teenagers. 🥰 February 21, 2026 was Gus’ first reenactment- the Battle of Aiken! You can tell by the black powder on his face, too, as that is the initiation. 😁

He planned for this day for a year. One of his buddies briefly mentioned after the 2025 one that they should look into being involved. Well, that conversation sparked a drive in this boy! Although the friend didn’t go onto being involved, Gus knew he would! So he saved up some money and purchased his gear. 

At the last minute, the unit he was originally registered with backed out of attending due to potential bad weather. So that left us scrambling. We told him not to worry and to just pack the vehicle with all his gear and we would just drive on to Aiken and figure it out when we get there. 😅 And by divine intervention, I’m sure of it, he ended up with the most wonderful unit of reenactors that he will continue with now, for years to come. 🙌🙏 

PS: he had his heart set on representing the South, but his unit was drafted to portray Union federalists at the last minute. 🤪

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to get away for a couple days with my grandma, mama, and two of my aunts! Such a blessing!!! 💜 We perused the beach for shells and at night played the game ‘Taco, Goat, Cat, Cheese, Pizza’ (there were only two games provided in the house 🤣); all of us came away with some type of bruise. 🤣 We also had the Stone family famous shrimp ‘n grits for breakfast one morning! This trip was such a treasure!

These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing tournament season this past Saturday. 😅 First, their typical boat captain was under the weather, so had to play switch-a-roo on boat *and* captain. Then, about 11am during the tournament the boat they were in broke down, leaving them only the section of the lake they could access with the trolling motor. Thankfully, a fellow team boat captain (and our church pastor!) was able to return his anglers to weigh-in, then make the run across the lake to snatch up these two fellas and get them to the dock in time for weigh-in. SHEW Y’ALL! 😅😵‍💫 They still managed 4 of the 5 fish limit with 10.04 lbs. 🙌
