Breathtaking Backdrops In Every Direction

One of the biggest perks of choosing the Smoky Mountains? You’re never far from a stunning view. Whether it’s the rolling blue ridges at sunrise, the soft golden glow of Cades Cove, or the dreamy mist that settles in the valleys, every backdrop feels like it was made just for you. Plus, the variety is unbeatable! Rustic cabins, flowering meadows, peaceful streams, and sweeping overlooks. Your engagement photos will have that perfect blend of adventure and romance.

Beautiful In Every Season

No matter when you get engaged, the Smokies are picture-perfect. Spring brings wildflowers and fresh greenery. Summer has those long, golden evenings. Fall? You can’t beat the vibrant reds and oranges of the changing leaves. And even in winter, the snow-dusted peaks and cozy forest trails make for magical photos. You really can’t go wrong, no matter the season in the Smoky Mountains.

Fun & Relaxing

Engagement sessions in the Smokies are more than just posing for the camera. We’ll explore, laugh, maybe take a short hike, and capture natural, authentic moments between you and your fiancé. My style of photography is authentic and landscape focused, so I know the best places to get stunning backdrops and have a wonderful experience. Many couples tell me that their engagement session feels like a fun date, with the bonus of beautiful photos at the end!
