After a few rain delays, I was finally able to meet with Erica & Jordan last October on a chilly afternoon at the Nashville Parthenon in Centennial Park. With their adorable dog Rosie, we managed to get some great shots despite the usual hoards of people! Sometimes having a camera in your hand is like magic- people just awkwardly avoid walking in front of you.

Erica & Jordan are the best kind of people. And their dog Rosie? Come ON! You are going to die when I post their incredible wedding too.

When Leigha first emailed me about her upcoming Spence Cabin wedding, there was a caveat. I’d have to fill out a ton of official Great Smoky Mountain National Park paperwork, deal with my liability insurance, and pay a fee to be allowed to photograph her Elkmont wedding. My response? HELL YEAH! Mountains are just the best. And in my humble opinion, there are no better mountains than the Smokies. I am so excited to share these Spence Cabin wedding photos with you!

Pssst… I still have that permit so I am happy & ready for all your Great Smoky Mountain National Park wedding photography needs!

Close your eyes & imagine the sounds of the Little River crackling around you. Oh, how I wish I could transport you there so you can see just how magical it is to get married at Spence Cabin. This private little enclave is surrounded by private forest & tranquility. Honestly, if I wasn’t shooting a wedding I’d have had my feet in the Little River as soon as I arrived. It is basically heaven.

After their ceremony, we headed over to the historic Appalachian Clubhouse for Leigha & Geoff’s reception. Guests ate, drank, & danced the night away. And I can’t forget the amazing PIZZA cookie cake. It was mindblowing.

Everlee Farm is a gem & I have no doubt that it’s about to BLOW UP. Think bright bold red barn, string lights hanging from a grove of trees, and beautiful surrounding property. Imagine all that plus dedicated owners who are working their butts off to create something so special for the Chattanooga area.

The owners invited me to their open house earlier last spring & I was immediately smitten. I knew I had to photograph a couple at this chic Chattanooga barn venue. One of my favorite things about Everlee Farm is that they have kept it so classy. So many renovated barns lose all their charm, but not this one. Even a couple who never imagined a barn wedding could probably be convinced by seeing this venue in person! It’s just that elegant.

Thanks to Madison & John on taking a chance on a location they’d never seen for their engagement photos. What a blast! Enjoy these Everlee Farm photos xo

Elopements are incredible. I am so excited to share these photos with you! Last month I had the honor of photographing Jessica & Ryan’s intimate elopement at their home in Chattanooga. Just the couple, the officiant, and ME! How cool, right? Jessica & Ryan’s home is on the most beautiful wooded lot complete with boulders & wonderful fall colors.

Jessica & Ryan, it was such an honor to be witness to your first moments as a married couple! Thank you for letting me share in your joy & document your elopement. If you are searching for Chattanooga elopement photography, I’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch for more info!

With this wedding, I’m continuing with my theme of “Why Did It Take Me So Long To Post This?” Crazy, right?! I’m so happy to finally have Jennifer & Alan’s wedding gracing my blog, especially after their incredible engagement session.

Jennifer & Alan were married at Scott Mansion in Tellico Plains near the Cherokee National Forest. Then we returned the next day for a very rainy but fun after session. Scott Mansion is currently in limbo. I’d love to photograph another wedding here sometime, so somebody should purchase the historic home & turn it back into a wedding venue! Pretty please!!! Seriously, it’s so gorgeous & it has incredible views of the mountains. Janna at All About Weddings meticulously coordinated this event & Lisa Foster Floral Design provided the incredible florals. Enjoy!
