I’ve known Michael since high school and even after all these years, he still has the biggest heart. Enter Nicole, his beautiful bride, with a heart just as big. I knew when I first met her that they were perfect for each other. From meeting her family and friends to witnessing the first time they ever had Pal’s, I loved every bit and piece of their wedding day at Steele Creek Park in the beautiful Bristol, TN.
The beautiful lodge where the wedding party got ready and the reception took place…
The girls getting their hair done and some of the makeup. The end hairstyles were amazing!
They had a beautiful clear day with just a touch of clouds to celebrate their wedding. They said their vows at the amphitheater under an adventure themed altar.
Nicole’s sweet bridesmaid’s making sure no one sees her while she gets out of her ride, and her daddy walking her down the aisle to her groom.
And that moment when the groom tried to put a ring on it… but on the wrong hand. 😉 (Sorry, guys, I could never forget!)
The groom, his groomsmen and myself sneaked out while the bride was getting ready to do some formal portraits. They had a little fun with it! They were the best group of guys to work with.
Oh, my! I LOVE these details. The bouquets were handmade out of paper, accented with maps to tie in the adventure theme. The brides beautiful earrings and finally the bride and groom’s ring settled nicely in some moss I found on the property. I don’t want to tell you what I had to do to get that shot, haha!
This was a beautiful location for our group shots!
And the last of the portraits ended with the sweet bride and groom…
