Stefany and Travis came down to the Smoky Mountains to elope and have their bridal portraits done in the mountains. A small wedding is no less important than a large one. Cades Cove provided a beautiful setting for them - even if it meant working to avoid bear jams! BTW, as the Cherokee held the black bear sacred, the presence of so many surely means a blessing from the mountains for this delightful couple!

The day was freezing, it almost got washed out, but Sam planned a special proposal to Rosalyn on Valentine’s Day in the Smokies. Check out their story and watch the video!

The abandoned cabins at Elkmont lent a cool, “urbex” feel to Olivia and Daniel’s enagement session but even with a steady rain, much fun was had! Check out their images in this blog post.

I like to say there is magic in the mountains, which was certainly on display during Katie and Nick's wedding at the Appalachian Clubhouse in the Elkmont area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park - check it out!
