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!

Beach days are the best days!!! We were able to make 2 different day trips to the coast this summer. 

1. We are thankful for sweet friends who allow us to crash their family camping vacation for a day! 🤣 

2. And we are thankful for another group who are willing to up and haul their families to the coast for a day, too! 🤗

Two of my fellow Clemson forestry/ wildlife pals and I managed to take that girls’ trip we had been chatting about for a while! It was so good for the soul!!! We went owling at night, and just looking for all the critters we could find. 😁

Our old-soul, mancub hit a milestone birthday this summer. So, as an early birthday present, we hesitantly (😅) decided to take him and a friend to a Hank Jr. concert, since they are both big fans. Our thought process: “Hank Jr. is old now… sure his music is timeless, but it’s bound to draw an older, more calm crowd nowadays.” NOPE. 😆🥴 

The trip morphed into a group trip with the friend’s parents and sister, and my dad joined us, too! All was well until a thunderstorm sent everyone to the concessions area where we were packed in like sardines for TWO HOURS to avoid the lightening and rain best we could. 😳 Well, you can only imagine most people there had only one thing to do during the two hour wait, so that by the time we could return to our seats, it was quite the scene. 🙈 Our sweet, sheltered homeschooled children were awakened to some of the ways of the world that night, for sure. 🤣🥴 Gracious!!! 

But alas, Hank came out on stage and was GREAT, even still as an older man in his 70’s. He played alllll the instruments, and even still could throw his leg up on the piano! 🤣😳

The boys ended their first year of fishing for PAC last April in 10th place; which was amazing for them! They overcame many obstacles and learned to fish better as partners. This particular tournament happened to fall on Jason’s birthday (he’s their boat captain), so our friends camping close-by helped him celebrate. 🤣😁

(We enjoyed it to the fullest and it FLEW by; so, slowing down to make posts didn’t happen. I don’t even know how it’s almost September. 🥴)

In April, we ventured to Beaufort with my family to see the Blue Angels in action. 🤩 They were awesome to see in person!

Anytime we vacation, you can bet fishing and/or hunting will always be interspersed. 🤪 So, it’s a good thing I enjoy just being outdoors, walking creek and river banks, and taking pictures. But there *was* one said adventure where I thought for sure I was going to end up nose-to-nose with a grizzly, mountain lion, or moose. 😅 And it was cold and raining. lol 🫠 But we made the most of it! 

We also spent some time playing on one of the nearby lakes. We all even braved the cold water! 🥶🤣

We checked out one of the waterfowl viewing areas and grabbed pizza at our favorite little roadside restaurant where the kiddos love to play pool and Pac-Man. 🤣
