Alli and Alex are married!! These two adventurous souls traveled all of the way from Colorado to the mountains of Tennessee to celebrate with their friends and family at Sugar Hollow Retreat in Butler, Tennessee.

The forecast kept saying that rain was on the way, but luckily held out for us for most of the day. The clouds eventually broke and gave us a steady drizzle for their vows. Being as adventurous as they are, Alex and Alli chose to have the ceremony outside despite the rain and it was truly magical!

Holly and Tyler are high school sweethearts and such a fun couple! They call themselves “weekend warriors,” and love taking weekend trips to the mountains to explore and get away for a few days! One of their favorite places to visit is downtown Banner Elk, North Carolina, as it’s just a hop and skip over the TN/NC border and just far enough to get away for a few days. When Holly told me about their trips, I figured it would be the best place to take their engagement photos since it’s so special to them! I cannot wait to photograph their wedding in June!

Eric and Kelsey are married!

Even though their original plans had changed a few times thanks to Covid, these two were finally able to become husband and wife on Labor Day weekend in September! Since Kelsey and Eric are from Ohio, they chose Sugar Hollow Retreat because they offer weekend packages with lodging on-site, so it made traveling a little bit easier for their families! They also loved the relaxing atmosphere and outdoor retreat feel of the venue, which made their wedding weekend feel more like a vacation in the mountains than a traditional wedding day and allows for more time spent with friends and family! Sugar Hollow is also dog-friendly, which was an added bonus for these two dog lovers!
