About Us

I am Rev. Adam Edwards and I look forward to providing you with a beautiful and heartfelt wedding ceremony that will be remembered for a lifetime. I will do everything in my power to ensure that your wedding day in the Smoky Mountains is everything that you dreamed it would be. It is my honor to be considered as your officiant for your wedding in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, or the surrounding area. As a Gatlinburg local for the last 13 years, I’ve married over 4000 happy couples.

You don’t take a photograph. You make it. That is the motto that I live by. I aim at creating wedding photos that emphasize the love and unity shared between your significant other and yourself on your most special day. Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life and I will ensure that your memories are preserved for decades to come. Using a combination of traditional portraiture photography mixed with an illustrative style, I create photographs that scream “Share me with everyone you know”. Over the past 10 years, I’ve shot over 1.3 million wedding photos.

At Elope to Gatlinburg, our commitment goes beyond providing wedding services – it’s a labor of love. Unlike some competitors who are solely driven by financial gains, our journey began with a personal connection to the magic of elopement. As a dedicated husband and wife team who embarked on our own elopement adventure, we intimately understand the joy and profound meaning that an intimate wedding celebration holds.

So, when you walk down the aisle with us, know that you’re not just choosing a service provider – you’re selecting a team with an unwavering passion for crafting love stories. From the moment you say “I do” against the backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains to the last photograph capturing the essence of your celebration, our passion ensures that your wedding day is not just an event but a masterpiece, etched with love, dedication, and the joy that comes from doing what we love.
