By now, I'm no stranger to rainy wedding days and have really grown to love how magical they can be! Alexis and Alec's wedding day at Sugar Hollow Retreat in Butler, Tennessee was no exception to that!
Everyone gathered in the misty mountains to surround Alexis and Alec with love as they became husband and wife!

Banner Elk, NC: Holly + Tyler's Fun Summer Engagement Session in Downtown Banner Elk
Holly and Tyler are high school sweethearts and such a fun couple! They call themselves “weekend warriors,” and love taking weekend trips to the mountains to explore and get away for a few days! One of their favorite places to visit is downtown Banner Elk, North Carolina, as it’s just a hop and skip over the TN/NC border and just far enough to get away for a few days. When Holly told me about their trips, I figured it would be the best place to take their engagement photos since it’s so special to them! I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in June!
Sugar Hollow Retreat: Morgan + Meg's Elegant Navy Spring Wedding in the Mountains
Morgan and Meg were originally supposed to get married in the winter, but due to Covid, they decided to reschedule their wedding for May. I know that rescheduling was so tough on everyone, but honestly, I am SO glad that they decided to wait. Sunshine just showered down on us the entire day at Sugar Hollow Retreat— everything was green and had finally bloomed. Truly, the mountains were truly showing off for them!
Sugar Hollow Retreat: Kelsey + Eric's Warm September Tennessee Wedding
Eric and Kelsey are married!
Even though their original plans had changed a few times thanks to Covid, these two were finally able to become husband and wife on Labor Day weekend in September! Since Kelsey and Eric are from Ohio, they chose Sugar Hollow Retreat because they offer weekend packages with lodging on-site, so it made traveling a little bit easier for their families! They also loved the relaxing atmosphere and outdoor retreat feel of the venue, which made their wedding weekend feel more like a vacation in the mountains than a traditional wedding day and allows for more time spent with friends and family! Sugar Hollow is also dog-friendly, which was an added bonus for these two dog lovers!
