An Unforgettable Day in Cades Cove

This summer, I had the pleasure of capturing Allison and Brady’s gorgeous elopement in Cades Cove. We spent the day exploring the stunning 11-mile loop, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The weather was perfect, and the landscape seemed to shine even brighter as these two shared their vows in one of the most picturesque settings I’ve ever seen.

Advice for Future Couples: Planning Your Intimate Elopement

If you’re dreaming of an elopement in a place like Cades Cove, here’s something to keep in mind: many of these locations are open to the public. It’s what makes them so accessible and beautiful, but it also means that you may encounter other visitors during your ceremony and photos.

If privacy and intimacy are important to you, let me know early in our planning process! There are ways we can work together to ensure your elopement feels as private as possible, whether by selecting specific times of day, choosing less-traveled locations, or even considering alternative spots that offer similar beauty but with fewer crowds. Your elopement should feel like it’s truly yours, and I’m here to help make that happen.
