April showers bring May flowers, and boy did April bring the rain to us! The night before the wedding, rain pushed into our area and was supposed to continue the whole day on Saturday. Knowing this, we packed and prepared accordingly with rain jackets and umbrellas in tow. When we arrived, the mountains were super misty and the clouds were hanging above, but Kendra and James were in the best spirits despite the weather. After we photographed the dress and invitation, the rain let up and gave us the perfect backdrop for a mountain wedding! We continued the day with a super sweet first look with vows, a trip to a local park with the bridal party for portraits by the lake, and then a beautiful ceremony under the covered patio (thank goodness for the backup plan)!

Amber & Kit’s wedding day was so beautiful and intimate. The day before, it was probably 30 degrees and the mountains were topped with snow. The day of? A warm 50-60 degrees. Talk about whacky Tennessee weather, but it was perfect for their day. We kicked things off with a sweet little first look in the drive up to the Chapel. Their closest family members and friends then joined us in the glass chapel for their sweet ceremony. After officially becoming husband and wife, we took advantage of the beautiful view next to the chapel and took some portraits while overlooking the Nolichuckey. Kit and Amber then ended the day with an intimate dessert reception at the next-door cabin. Amber said that she had always wanted a winter wedding and I believe she got exactly that (minus some snow, hehe). I loved her winter decor touches, especially the wreaths on the doors of the chapel.
