First of all, I’ve got to say, what a fantastic extended family the Sprinkle and Anderson clans make! What a perfect setting too, for them to have a chance to fellowship while spending a long weekend together in a beautiful home at Palmetto Bluff.
Bride Linda Sprinkle, who could easily have a second career in destination wedding planning, found a spectacular Village Home that welcomed guests with antique pine floors, high vaulted ceilings, cozy fireplaces, and spacious screened verandas. When not running out the door to hop on their bikes, Sprinkle’s nephews could be found soaking in the ambience of a huge family room with its wall-size home theater system.
The families blended together seamlessly as they sipped wine while sharing stories and laughter around the large wooden dining table or lounged comfortably in oversized sofas in front of a roaring fire.
Linda had everyone dress in jeans and white shirts for family portraits amidst the panoramic vistas of the lowcountry visible right outside their back door. Large oak trees and hanging Spanish moss provided the perfect backdrop for their family pictures.
Everyone was a sport too, about the unusually chilly weather. With a high of forty degrees, and the temperature dropping steadily, family members shed coats and mufflers for group poses during which they were more than happy to snuggle in tightly and think warm thoughts before running back to the warmth of their coverings.
We got some great photos in that last hour before sunset. Here are some of my favorites:
