What a delight it was to capture a special moment for Haley and Stephen at our newest small wedding ceremony and elopement location! This session was particularly meaningful, as it fell just before their wedding anniversary. Getting to see them don their wedding attire once again was a beautiful way to relive those precious memories.
Having coordinated their wedding a few years ago, I’ve had the joy of witnessing their love story unfold. Now, as a family with their adorable daughter, their bond has only grown deeper. It was a dream to see them step back into their wedding clothes, with Haley glowing in her elegant gown and Stephen looking just as handsome as the day they said “I do.”
The private property overlooking Douglas Lake provided the perfect backdrop for this nostalgic shoot. With its breathtaking vistas and serene surroundings, the location enhanced the romantic atmosphere. As the sun set behind the hills, the golden hour cast a warm glow over everything, creating a dreamy ambiance that made our photos come to life.
During our session, we had fun recreating some of the iconic poses from their wedding day. She brought so much joy and energy to the shoot, making it a true family affair. We incorporated a few candid moments that perfectly showcased their loving interactions, from playful laughter to sweet embraces.
This stunning location not only offers privacy and natural beauty but also allows couples to create cherished memories, just like Haley and Stephen did. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary or planning a new wedding, it’s a versatile spot that adapts beautifully to your vision.
As we wrapped up the session, I felt grateful for the chance to be part of Haley and Stephen’s journey once again. Their love story continues to inspire me, and I can’t wait to see where life takes them next.
If you’re considering a small wedding, elopement or an anniversary celebration in the Great Smoky Mountain area, this location could be the perfect place to create your own magical moments. Thank you, Haley and Stephen, for allowing me to capture your love once again. Here’s to many more years of happiness together!
