You're not planning a traditional wedding — you're planning something more meaningful. Whether you're exchanging vows under the foggy trees, sharing a quiet picnic by a waterfall, or hiking into the Smokies with your favorite person and your pup — we’re here to help make it effortless, intimate, and unforgettable.
Below you’ll find our elopement packages designed with adventure, calm, and connection in mind.
Step away from the pressure, the performance, and the Pinterest-perfect to-do list. This is your permission slip to do things differently — to choose meaning over a million moving parts, and presence over perfection. These moments matter. Let’s slow down and capture them.
THE MOMENT THEY FORGOT I WAS THERE
the just married feeling
the moment they said "i do"
You don’t need a big production to remember this moment — you just need the right people to help you slow down and soak it in. When you hire one team for both photo and video, everything flows seamlessly. One calm presence, one shared vision, no awkward overlap — just real moments, beautifully preserved.
Hear your vows again. Watch the way they looked at you. Feel it all over again. Share it with your kids one day.
With cinematic highlight films and full ceremony footage, you’ll be able to hold onto the heart of your day for years to come.
Emotive, natural, never stiff. Your photos will capture the quiet in-between moments, the big ones too, and everything that makes your love feel like yours. Thoughtfully guided, never overly posed — just the way it felt.
For the laid-back couple who wants just the magic, no extras. Includes Photo Only.
For couples who want the vows captured and nothing missed. Includes Photo and Ceremony Video.
For when you want it all — the feels, the film, and the forever moments.
For the adventure lovers, the timeline-free spirits, and the couples with a full-day story to tell.

WHAT YOU'LL GET
You're not just hiring a photographer and videographer — you're inviting someone into one of the most meaningful days of your life. We show up calm, prepared, and fully present. We carry your bouquet, fix your veil, cheer you on through the nerves, and document the real moments you’ll want to remember. From sunrise hikes to ceremony tears, we’re there to make the day feel grounded, guided, and completely yours.
YOU'RE NOT JUST HIRING US...
Some of the most popular elopement spots include Cades Cove, Spence Cabin, Foothills Parkway, and Greenbrier. I’ll help you choose the right location based on your vision — whether that’s mountain views, a quiet riverbank, or something easy to access with guests.
Where can we elope in Gatlinburg or the Smoky Mountains?
Yes! While the Smoky Mountains are stunning, I also photograph elopements in places like Max Patch (hello, mountain views!) and tucked-away waterfall spots across East Tennessee. If you’re dreaming of somewhere quieter or off the beaten path, let’s plan something personal and beautiful — I’ll help with location ideas and logistics.
Are there other places to elope outside of Gatlinburg?
Absolutely. Most couples bring 0–10 guests for an intimate feel, and I’ll help you pick a location that fits the vibe and your group size. Whether it’s just you two or your closest people, we’ll make sure it feels calm and connected.
Can we bring guests to our elopement?
Yes — most locations inside Great Smoky Mountains National Park require a simple Special Use Permit (usually $50–75). While I don’t file permits myself, I’ll guide you through exactly what to do and help you choose a ceremony spot that’s permit-friendly.
Do we need a permit to elope in the Smokies?
Laura and her husband Garrett are AMAZING. Laura is so kind, so responsive, and so good at what she does! My husband and I eloped in the smokies and she captured the day so perfectly. It was the exact vision of what I wanted our photos to look like. Having someone you can trust with such important memories is a big deal, and she went above and beyond. She has such an eye for cute photos and candids! We loved working with her.
If you’re dreaming of a calm, meaningful day in the mountains — one that feels like peace, presence, and true connection — I’d be honored to help you bring it to life. From location ideas to timeline guidance and storytelling that feels like you, I’ll be there to help you slow down, soak it in, and have it all beautifully captured.
