Summer Elopement at the Foothills Parkway

What a magical day it was for Sydney and Charles! Their elopement at the Foothills Parkway was the perfect blend of romance, adventure, and breathtaking scenery.
The Parkway is one of my favorite spots in the Smokies for couples, and it delivered every bit of beauty we could have hoped for.

The views along the Foothills Parkway are unbeatable at any time of year or day, but for truly unforgettable images, I always recommend timing your session about two hours before sunset.
This is when the light is soft, golden, and flattering - casting a warm glow over the mountains and creating that dreamy atmosphere every couple hopes for.
Sydney and Charles planned their day perfectly, and the result was a series of Foothills Parkway photos that are as timeless as they are breathtaking.

We began at one of the Parkway’s iconic overlooks, where the rolling ridges of the Smoky Mountains stretched endlessly in every direction.

The soft breeze carried the scent of mountain air, and the clouds floated gently over the peaks, adding depth and drama to the Foothills Parkway pictures.
​
Every time Sydney and Charles looked at each other, you could see the love and joy radiating between them - it made capturing their couple pictures at the Foothills Parkway an absolute joy.

As a photographer, one of the things I love most about the Foothills Parkway is the variety it offers.
We moved between wide-open overlooks for sweeping landscapes and more intimate spots along the road where the trees framed them in glowing light.

​Whether it’s a grand wedding celebration or an intimate 
wedding on the Foothills Parkway, the scenery adapts beautifully to the moment.

For Sydney and Charles, the Parkway was more than just a backdrop  - it became a part of their love story.

They laughed, they twirled, they held each other close, and in between, we soaked in every bit of the Smoky Mountain magic.
By the time they had to go to their dinner, they had a gallery of 
Foothills Parkway photos they’ll cherish forever.

If you’re dreaming of your own elopement at the Foothills Parkway or want wedding portraits with sweeping mountain views, I’d be thrilled to help you plan every detail.

​This stretch of road offers some of the most stunning vistas in East Tennessee, and your 
Foothills Parkway pictures can be as adventurous, romantic, or timeless as you want them to be.
