Magnolia Venue Summer Wedding | Smoky Mountains TN | Anabel and Joseph

Magnolia Venue Summer Wedding Magnolia Venue summer wedding with a little flare!! Anabel and Joseph said I do at this breathtaking wedding venue with a view of the Great Smoky Mountains in TN last month. Needless to say, it was a blast! Their family all came from Florida, and they brought the party with them! Photographing a Magnolia Venue summer wedding is always a treat, minus the temperature because it can get hot here in the mountains. The heat isn’t always my favorite part of summer, but we make it through the heat regardless! The views from the wedding venue of the Smoky Mountain National Park are spectacular, the southern hospitality is always great, and we have top-notch vendors that

Chapel in the Hollow || Eloping in the Smoky Mountains || Abbie and Landyn

Celebrating Love at The Chapel in the Hollow Picture this: a charming wooden chapel nestled amidst a picturesque forest, surrounded by vibrant foliage. As the leaves gently fall, love fills the crisp air, and the magic of the Chapel in the Hollow. This creates an enchanting setting. If you are thinking of summer here at this venue, just imagine Fall when the leaves start turning! It’s beautiful! Landyn and Abbie Landyn and Abbie were referred to me by the venue owners! Being referred is always an honor to be trusted by venue owners with their clients! I didn’t meet the couple until the day of their wedding. This is pretty common for elopements, but we were able to communicate several

Panther Creek State Park Wedding | Morristown, TN Sierra and Dallas

The Couple Dallas and Sierra met at The Avenue Church a few years back. I always love asking the couple detail about how they met because some stories are just too good not to share! Sierra said that she had moved to the area and attended a life group at The Avenue. That night she introduced herself (in a pretty aggressive way she stated) and challenged the people in the group to come to Friday night prayer. Dallas, halfway through her story picks up where she was talking and excitedly told me he went to prayer that Friday night. He said he was the only one from the group that showed up. Dallas said he was praying, looked up, and

What If You Elope In The Smoky Mountains and it Rains

What To Do If You Elope In The Smokies and it Rains Elope in the Smokies, it’s all the craze! I’d recommend it 10 out of 10! There have been some pretty cool trends that have hit the wedding world in the past several years, elopements being one of them. Trends are always fun and I’d like to think that eloping is not just a trend at this point. I hope elopements are something that permanently stays in the wedding world. Want to Elope In The Smokies? You are on board with eloping and now it’s time to start planning. You have narrowed down what area or national park you want to get married at. You’ve reached out to a

Newfound Gap Wedding | Smoky Mountain National Park Elopement | Samantha and Adam

If you are thinking of eloping in the Great Smoky Mountains, a Newfound Gap wedding may be what your soul desires. Why would a Newfound Gap wedding be chosen? Just look at the views, that is why people pick this spot to elope in the Smokies. You can’t see the sunset from this point, unfortunately, but it is one of the few elopement spots that you are above the mountains. Most places to elope in the Great Smoky Mountains are in the forest or in the fields. Newfound Gap Wedding Samantha (Sam) and Adam love the Smokies so much, they decided they had to come South to say I DO. Sam had looked at a few different spots to elope
