Foothills Parkway Fall Elopement

He’s a tattoo artist and she works in the jewelry business, so it’s no surprise their awesome style turns heads! So, when Kelley first reached out to us after their big wedding was cancelled due to covid, she said, “We’re taking it as an opportunity to do what we originally wanted to do – quietly get married and take some killer wedding photos in the mountains.”

And so they eloped on Friday Nov. 13th, got in the car and drove to the smokies for their honeymoon, and met us for fall wedding pictures on the Foothills Parkway in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. And just like Kelley and Alex had hoped – it was a killer sunset!

About the Foothills Parkway

The Foothills Parkway in Tennessee is one of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park’s most beautiful and scenic locations. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon drive, stargazing, or a summer picnic. But, it’s also a jaw-dropping location for elopements and intimate weddings – with overlooks, a waterfall, and the newly completed “Missing Link.” If you’re thinking about having a Smoky Mountain wedding or elopement, the Foothills Parkway should be on your list.
