our favorite
foothills parkway
For endless views of the Smokies, consider getting married at Foothills Parkways. With 33 miles of parkway to work with there is an abundance of convenient and stunning locations right off the side of the road! I love having a parkway tour with my couples to capture their love story with the dozens of stunning backdrops.

Cades Cove
Cades Cove is a one way driving loop which provides dozens of stunning backdrops of the Smokies. From forests, fields, creeks, mountain views and even wildlife! You will find everything iconic about the Smoky Mountains at Cades Cove. Although the location is beyond beautiful, be aware that since it is a one way driving loop, Cades Cove is notorious for traffic and congested roads. Plan ahead to ensure your Smoky Mountain wedding is as stress free as possible!

Greenbrier
On the northern side of the Smokies and just outside of Gatlinburg you will find the magic that is Greenbrier. With three wedding locations to enjoy a serene and glorious ceremony, you are sure to find the perfect spot for your big day. As a Gatlinburg wedding photographer I adore Greenbrier for a dramatic forest backdrop! There are an abundance of backdrops that include rocky rivers, wooden bridges and of course lush woods.

Ely’s Mill
If you are planning to embrace a woodland wedding, then Ely’s Mill is the place for you! Nestled in the woods of the Smokies, Ely’s Mill offers several sites along a creek for intimate wedding ceremonies. In addition, there is a pavilion option that seats up to 20 guests. However, it is important to note that the pavilion can get dark, so this is not an ideal option for an evening ceremony. You can consider saying your vows on the creek bed or on one of the trails, in addition to the pavilion. There is an additional fee for this location, which aids the maintenance of the the Mill.
