A winter elopement here is perfect for couples who want a more relaxed and cozy experience. With fewer tourists and more availability at venues and cabins, winter is one of the most overlooked (and most romantic!) times to elope in the Smokies.

Planning your wedding in the stunning Smoky Mountains? I personally have photographed at each of these locations as a Gatlinburg photographer, and love them all for their unique charm.

A quiet elopement in the Smoky Mountains is peak romance, and I was happy to serve as the Gatlinburg elopement photographer for this beautiful couple. Lush forests, misty peaks, and golden sunlight were the trademark for Sam and Amanda, and I can’t help but share these gorgeous photos with you.

The Foothills Parkway through the year is stunning and one of my all-time favorite backdrops for wedding photos in the mountains. And if you don’t believe me just take a look at the Foothills in every season!

As a Gatlinburg wedding photographer, I’m going to let you in on a secret that I don’t feel like enough people know about: you can have two different backdrops for your wedding photos. Getting variety in your photos locations is the key to loving your wedding gallery.
