Add to your wedding film

Pre-wedding story film · $950

This is your chance to tell your story in a completely unique, personal way. We film the two of you before you say "I do," so when you look back on your wedding film you'll remember how you got here as a couple.

We can meet you as early as the day you arrive at your cabin, as late as the day before, or even the day of your wedding. It's a video shoot just for the two of you, in your everyday clothes: fun, full of passion, and above all a deeper telling of your love story that makes your wedding film even richer.

  • 1 hour of filming
  • Drone footage outside the National Park, weather permitting
  • Complimentary raw footage of your ceremony

Before you ask

Elopement questions couples ask us most

Is our date available?

Most dates are. Couples book anywhere from a few weeks to a year ahead; most book about 4 months out, and fall dates, especially October, fill first. Book with the form above and we'll confirm your date and time. If your date is already busy, we'll usually send another of our photographers, or work out a different date with you.

Where can we get married?

Elope in Gatlinburg and across the Great Smoky Mountains: the Foothills Parkway, Cades Cove, Ely's Mill, Roan Mountain, Max Patch, Ozone Falls, Bee Rock Overlook, Greenbrier, your cabin and more. See all our locations. Heads-up: Ozone Falls and Bee Rock Overlook are on Central time, not Eastern.

Do we need a park permit?

Yes for Great Smoky Mountains National Park locations, even for two people, and we take care of it for you. The park needs at least 30 days. Getting married sooner? Ask us about beautiful locations that work on shorter notice.

How does the marriage license work?

Get your Tennessee license in person from any county clerk; it's good for 30 days. Bring it on the day. Your officiant signs it and we file it for you afterward.

When do we get our photos?

Your gallery, and your film if you add one, usually arrives within 2 to 10 weeks, depending on the season. Fall is our busiest time of year.

What if it rains?

We marry couples rain or shine. We bring clear umbrellas, and when a storm rolls in we can sometimes move to a nearby backup spot outside the park to stay ahead of it. If the weather truly ruins your photos, we'll work with you on options, including coming back for another session when we can.

Can we bring guests, kids or our dog?

Every location welcomes up to at least 25 guests, and many allow more, including the state parks, Roan Mountain, Ozone Falls, Max Patch, Seven Islands, Ely's Mill and Cades Cove, where the historic chapels hold up to 100. Guest limits and pet rules vary by spot, so call or text (865) 248-9577 to check yours. Childcare is available as an add-on.

Where do we meet on the day?

You'll get your exact meet point, map pin and timeline before the wedding.
