When Steve reached out to me about surprising Wendy with a couple photo session during their visit to the beautiful Smoky Mountains, I knew this would be something special. Their story, full of love and adventure, was about to take another memorable chapter in one of the most scenic spots in the area—Pittman Center.

A Year Later, A New Memory

A year earlier, Steve had proposed to Wendy at Anakeesta, and they both knew it was a place that held special meaning for them. So, when Steve thought about the perfect way to surprise Wendy, a couple’s photo session seemed like the perfect idea. Not only would it commemorate their love story, but it would also be a way to revisit a location that had so much significance in their journey together.

A Day of Fun and Laughter

From the moment we started shooting, Steve and Wendy’s chemistry was undeniable. Their playful energy and easygoing nature made it feel like we were all just friends hanging out, exploring the beautiful surroundings together. Whether they were strolling through the breathtaking mountain views or laughing together at a sweet moment, the love they share truly shone through. It was impossible not to smile while photographing these two; they made every moment so much fun!

A Potential New Home

As if the photo session wasn’t already filled with beautiful moments, Steve and Wendy were also exploring properties in the area, looking for a place they could call home. The idea of possibly becoming neighbors filled me with excitement. I could totally picture myself bumping into them at a local café or hiking the same trails! There’s something so special about being a part of someone’s story, even in the smallest way, and knowing that they could be living nearby would make me look forward to every interaction.

Looking Ahead

Steve and Wendy, I can’t tell you how much fun I had during our session and how much I hope to work with you again in the future. You two are a dream to photograph, and your love for each other is truly contagious. Whether you decide to make the Smoky Mountains your forever home or continue your travels, I wish you both nothing but happiness in every adventure you take on together.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll get to photograph your next chapter, whether it’s another milestone or just a casual shoot to celebrate life! Thank you for letting me be a part of such a special memory.

Until then, I’m sending my warmest wishes as you continue to build your life and love in such a beautiful place.
