If you’ve been dreaming of a sweet, small Knoxville TN wedding surrounded by natural beauty, Katelyn and Ethan’s day was everything. It had all the tender moments, a cozy guest list, and that laid-back, heart-filled vibe I see so often in Tennessee weddings. Whether you’re planning to tie the knot in the Smoky Mountains or on private land in East Tennessee, consider this your sign to do it your way. Their celebration is proof that intimate weddings aren’t “less than” — they’re just as meaningful (honestly, sometimes even more) than the big, traditional ones. They kept their day super personal — surrounded by close family, with heartfelt vows and the most peaceful outdoor setting. It all came together to feel like pure magic. My cheeks hurt from smiling by the end!

When Time Slows Down Just for You Two

One of my absolute favorite moments was when Katelyn and Ethan slipped away right after the ceremony for golden hour portraits. It felt so quiet and romantic, like time slowed down for just the two of them. That kind of magic is why I’m obsessed with intimate weddings. You actually get to soak it in. And don’t even get me started on the way Ethan looked at her all day. Unreal. My heart still melts thinking about it ugh! This kind of wedding reminds me of so many beautiful spots across Tennessee — especially for couples who want something simple, meaningful, and all about them.
