Rev. Adam Edwards, Minister

I’m Rev. Adam Edwards, and it’s my honor to lead couples through one of life’s most meaningful moments. As your officiant, I ensure your ceremony is heartfelt, seamless, and beautifully composed — so you can focus on being present for every word, every glance, every vow.

As a Gatlinburg local for over 13 years, I’ve officiated more than 4,000 weddings throughout Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountains. I follow a timeless, efficient ceremony style that keeps the focus where it belongs — on your love and the memories you’ll carry home. Your ceremony will be calm, intentional, and effortlessly meaningful — just as an elopement should be.

Danielle Edwards, Photographer

To me, elopement photography isn’t about posing — it’s about presence. I capture the unguarded, the unspoken, the in-between moments that turn a ceremony into a story. Using a blend of timeless portraiture and artistic storytelling, I create images that don’t just document your day — they elevate it.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve captured more than 1.3 million photographs, each one a tribute to love, light, and the quiet beauty of connection. Whether it’s a first look in the forest or a kiss at the edge of a mountain stream, I’m there to preserve the feeling, not just the frame. Your love deserves more than memories — it deserves art.

With years of expertise and thousands of love stories entrusted to us, we are the original and premier elopement wedding service in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Our carefully selected team brings a seamless blend of professionalism and heartfelt care to every celebration. As locals who know the Smoky Mountains intimately, we ensure that every detail is orchestrated with elegance, efficiency, and effortless charm.

At Elope to Gatlinburg, we don’t just promise a beautiful wedding day — we promise a refined, meaningful experience from the first vow to the final photograph. Our ceremonies are intimate, our atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and our photography preserves each moment with timeless artistry. This is our Gatlinburg Wedding Promise — and it’s a promise we proudly uphold.

Stunning Locations & Intimate Celebrations

Picture yourselves exchanging vows in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains — where the stillness of a mountain stream or the whisper of forest leaves becomes the backdrop to your most sacred moment. Every location we offer is hand-selected for its natural beauty, privacy, and the quiet magic it brings to your ceremony.

We design our services for couples who value intimacy and meaning over spectacle. With guest counts intentionally limited to 20 or fewer, your elopement remains focused on connection — not production. Say “I do” in a setting that reflects your love story, and walk away with a wedding album filled with images that are as personal as they are breathtaking.

Passion for What We Do

At Elope to Gatlinburg, this work is more than a service — it’s a calling. Our story began with our own elopement, and that experience reshaped how we view weddings. We fell in love not just with each other, but with the intimacy, the stillness, and the soul of that moment — and it’s that same spirit we bring to every couple we serve.

As a husband-and-wife team, we know the magic of keeping things simple, meaningful, and real. We don’t just show up — we’re invested in your experience. From the moment you arrive to the final frame captured beneath the Smoky Mountain sky, we treat your elopement not as an event, but as a once-in-a-lifetime story. A story told with reverence, artistry, and joy.

Beautiful Photos!

Such a good experience! They made us feel so comfortable! It was a time filled with smiles and laughs and we felt relaxed and not stressed or worried like so many other people on their wedding day. Plus the photos turned out beautiful! And we got them back quick! Thank you to the both of you for making our special day a great one.

Jessi Springle - Cincinnati, Ohio

Highly Recommend!

We had a wonderful experience! Adam and Danielle are extraordinarily nice and made the whole process so easy. Our dog is a huge part of our lives and they were wonderful with not only handling him but also included him in our beautiful photos. The private creek side location is stunning and made for a secluded and intimate ceremony. Highly recommend getting married through this company!

Aubrey Dissinger - Albany, New York

Forever Grateful!

We are obsessed with the overall experience going thru this company! Danielle was excellent & made us feel like we’ve all hung out before. Also dealing with one of the windiest days didn’t stop her skills at photography. We couldn’t have asked for or imagined anything else. Honestly five stars isn’t enough! We will forever be grateful for our experience.
