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.
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!
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.

Note: If you want photos at the block wall, you'll want our Appalachian Admiration or higher package due to the extra time associated with going to this spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we have guests?
Of course! While we do many true elopements (with no guests), all of our wedding locations allow for up to 20 total people and every package (except the Simple Remembrance) allows for guests. This includes the two being married, any members of the wedding party, and any and all guests, including children. This is a strict limit, though, and the number cannot be increased for any reason. Since we specialize in elopements, all of our locations have this restriction. We do not offer locations/packages for weddings with more than 20 people.
How do I make a reservation? Is a deposit required?
It’s simple, really. Once you have decided on your date, what package you want, and the location you want to get married at, you can reserve your wedding on our website at this link. You can also just click “Book Now” farther up the page under the package you wish to book. If you prefer to make your reservation over the phone, just give us a call at (865) 365-5025.
To reserve your date/time/location, there is a $700 non-refundable deposit. Since it’s non-refundable, you’ll want to be sure to finalize your travel plans prior to booking your elopement with us. The remaining balance isn’t due until the time of the ceremony.
How do I get the Tennessee marriage license?
For any elopement taking place in Tennessee, a Tennessee marriage license is required. No company can get it for you on your behalf as it must be signed by the couple directly in front of the county clerk. Out-of-state couples often stress about this. But, getting a Tennessee marriage license is super simple.
In Sevier County, we have three offices you can get it from and they can be issued any day of the week except for Sunday. In about ten minutes, you’ll be out of their office with your marriage license in hand. Just bring this license to your wedding spot and we take care of the rest. For additional information regarding the Tennessee marriage license, click here.
How many photos are included?
The Mountain Memories package includes 60 minutes of photography and includes around 60-70 photos. The Appalachian Admiration package includes 90 minutes of photography and includes 90-100 photos. The Smoky Mountain Serenity packages includes 120 minutes of photography and includes 120-140 photos. Since the Simple Remembrance package doesn’t include photography, it includes 0 photos.
