Sugar Hollow Retreat: Hannah + Erik’s Summer Mountain Wedding
These two celebrated with a full weekend retreat at the always gorgeous Sugar Hollow Retreat in Butler, Tennessee! They drove all the way from Alabama with their friends and family to get married in our beautiful Smoky Mountains. Their day was full of gorgeous greenery, laughter, tears, and of course, the beautiful mountains.
Sugar Hollow Retreat: Alexis + Alec’s Rainy Smoky Mountain Wedding in Butler, Tennessee
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!
After everything became official, the rain subsided and gave us the most beautiful fog over the mountains. We took a few more portraits with the beautiful backdrop, then danced the night away under the twinkle lights at the reception.
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: 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!
Blue Ridge Parkway: Ashley + Logan's Breathtaking Windy Mountain Engagement Session
I kicked off the year with Ashley and Logan’s engagement session, and let me say- we started with a bang! I’ve wanted to shoot on the Blue Ridge Parkway for a few years now, and when I first pitched a list of locations to Ashley, I was silently hoping they’d pick the parkway. Needless to say, they made my parkway dreams come true! We had a blast laughing and hiking up to the view! I just love how these two make each other smile and laugh constantly. They are absolutely perfect for each other and it’s so easy to see just how much they care one another.
