Summer Wedding in The Great Smoky Mountains | Vibrant Romantic Florals & Mountaintop Views

Sadie and Preston hosted an intimate elopement-style wedding in the Great Smoky Mountains at the end of August 2025. With the help of their closest friends and family, they designed a chic romantic mountaintop love fest. Thank you so much to sweet Sadie and Preston for allowing me to be a small part of your day and trusting me to be your photographer. <3
