Brandi and Ted are among the rising number of couples deciding to elope to the Smoky Mountains for a wedding just for two. The most common reason seems to be the desire to enjoy and remember the wedding day without all the hassle and stress associated with larger weddings.



We certainly had more time to do more creative images, and that of course means the use of our horses! Scout is always eager to please. Fall wildflowers are beginning to pop up in our fields, and they always add to the atmosphere for a country wedding.

Ted and Brandi were very accommodating to my requests. We hiked up the hill to our mountain ridge view, and later I enhanced the grasses and foliage for more of an autumn look. Pretty soon I won't have to do this at all. Mother nature is already making the leaves on our trees blush.
