Great Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge, TN Elopement Photo Story Award

Smoky Mountain, TN wedding image from the The ceremony on the outside deck of a rental cabin

At their intimate wedding, the bride and groom stood outside on the deck of a rental cabin, the bridal party at their sides, and guests seated in neat rows of chairs watching the special ceremony

The ceremony begins on the outside deck of a rental from Timber Top Cabins in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Kyle and Katie are a young couple whose wedding plans were faced with the difficulties of the pandemic but that didn't stop them from making their dream come true. Kyle and Katie live in Clarksville, Tennessee which is about 4 hours away from Pigeon Forge but they decided to bring their closest family and friends from different parts of the country to celebrate their wedding at a cabin in the middle of The Great Smoky Mountains. Kyle's family is originally from South Africa and Katie's family is mostly from Florida.

I learned that Kyle and Katie met in high school and through the years they have endured some difficult times but have also enjoyed the greatest and happiest moments together. Even though it was a short ceremony and celebration, I could tell how much they loved each other, how close their families are, and how good of a time they have together. Every moment around them was fun and it seemed like everyone had a story to tell about the couple. Now they start a new chapter in life, hoping for the very best!
