Elope to the Smoky Mountains

Our new granite stone wedding arch is quickly becoming one of the most popular ceremony locations 

First, I hope your day is as wonderful as mine right now.  Seriously... God has blessed me with acres of beauty that attracts great people like you who want to get married.  I never take this blessing for granted.  There hasn't been a single person in ten years I've met here that I haven't loved.

You want to elope. Or, maybe you want to renew your wedding vows.  Either way, you want the most beautiful venue in Pigeon Forge to share these vows and commitment to each other.  Welcome to Honeysuckle Hills!  It's not just our gardens, landscaping, and horses that will make your day special.  It's the personal experience we're going to share with a family touch.



You are too important to me for it to be anything less. 


If we were sitting together beneath the willow tree getting to know one another, that would be perfect. But since you're on your phone or computer researching instead, I can still help.  

How Honeysuckle Hills may be perfect for your elopement...

  • Your photographs will be out of this world creative... because Honeysuckle Hills has the best wedding photographer in the southeast.  We guarantee your images will rival anyone else's.  Period.
  • What if it rains?  No worries.  It's good luck, and luckily for you we have three different ceremony areas ready to go in case the weather gets bad.
  • Privacy.  You will not have to share your special moments with the public.  Our venue is private, and no other wedding will take place while you are our special guests.
  • Dressing Rooms.  There is a dressing room for BOTH of you, and Regina will assist the bride with her dress if necessary.  
  • Caring Ceremony Officiants.  We have a variety of wedding officiants, both Christian and civil.  They are all caring individuals who respect your wishes with a sincere desire to make your ceremony what you wish it to be.  
If you love a romantic willow tree, I planted one eight years ago.  Every year I've watched it grow, just as I know your love for each other will through the years.



Our couples only wedding packages include a flash drive of all your beautiful images and a product credit toward professional prints, canvases, giclees, or albums.  Our albums are of much higher quality than you'll find on your own.  This also makes it easier to have an album in hand quicker.  (Instead of constantly putting off when you're going to "get to it.") 

Albums start at only $300 for a beautiful glossy coffee table book like you see below.

This album is an 8x8" hard cover, glossy book with up to 45 of your favorite images.  You will get to approve its design, before it is produced and shipped right to your door.

"Lickety Split" Love 

 $650  All Days
  Includes $50 product credit

A 30 minute reservation that allows enough time for the ceremony and formal portraits in one location. Our staff will lovingly guide you through the ceremony and provide heart-warming images to enjoy from one location on our farm.  Please understand the photography time is VERY short and limited in this package.  It was created for couples who want to get married in a beautiful place and have charming, traditional photographs, but they don't want to spend the time required for variety and creativity.


An Hour of Beauty

 $1200 Wednesdays through Saturdays
   Includes $100 product credit

Excellent choice for the couple who wants more time for Regina to be creative, but does not wish to have photographs with the horses or at the mountain ridge view.

Wild Horses      

$1800 Wed-Fri            
$2000 Saturdays
  Includes $150 product credit

      
Our most popular, this package is perfect whether you want the breathtaking images with our horses that are trained to run behind you, or if you simply want more photography time for the most variety possible.  This reservation is a full hour and a half.

It's also a great choice for a couple bringing their young children.  Instead of pictures with the horses, more time can be devoted to your babies.  It often takes a little more time for little ones to adjust to the excitement and new surroundings.


The Outdoor Adventure

$2500 Wed-Fri             
$2900 Saturdays  
  Includes $200 product credit         

Two hours of the most creative wedding images possible.  This package allows for enough time to travel three short miles from Honeysuckle Hills to private property bordering the National Park.  An old chimney, mountain views, mountain creek falls, and another vintage barn are possibilities there.  You may also choose to have the full two hours at the Honeysuckle Hills property.


I urge you to give me as much time as you possibly can.  Instead of walking around with a camera around my neck, I'm using a tripod, assistant, hauling lights, etc.  I can't create images like you see on our website unless you give me the time to use these powerful tools and take the time to know you.    If all you want is a good exposure from an expensive camera, there are literally hundreds of other places you can obtain this, and much cheaper.  To me, you are priceless.  


How to Book Your Couples Only Wedding

1) Let's find your perfect wedding date!   Email me at  green.forest97@yahoo.com or text me at 865-368-5569. 

2) You'll need a place to stay.  The cabins closest to Honeysuckle Hills are at Caney Creek.  Our favorite is "Starkey's Cabin."  www.caneycreek.com  Another beautiful cabin company within 15 minutes of us is www.summitcabinrentals.com

3) Need hair and make-up?  I love www.smokymountainsalonandspa.com, only ten minutes from us.  However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing your hair and makeup yourself so you feel more natural.  Even if I think you're gorgeous, if you're not comfortable "all made up," then it shows in the pictures.

4) Need a bouquet?  Kelly and Kris at From the Heart Florist will fix you right up.  865-774-5588.  You're also welcome to bring your own bouquet.  

5) Want to rent the dress, tux, or a few accessories?  Jeff at Fantasy Bridal has never let any of my couples down... www.fantasybridal.com

6)  The marriage license is so easy to get!  If you don't live in Tennessee, you do have to get a license here, but it's so quick to do.  You can even start the process on-line.  If you already live in Tennessee, just bring your license with you from your home county courthouse.







I sincerely can't wait to hear all about you... if you're ready to get married in the Smoky Mountains, there's no better time to start planning than today.


I love romance, and I love using light.  It defines a mood like you see here.

So many places to photograph... if you're adventurous we'll hike up a hill.  It's worth it.

Love the rain?  If doesn't fall from the sky, I can make it fall from my water hose!


Sugar is sweet, but she's also silly sometimes.  

Our brides are the happiest...and most beautiful!

We love your babies, too!  If you're not giggling right now something's wrong...

Don't worry about a traditional dress.  This one was hand-made, Native-American style.  Do what's right for YOU.



I love emotion... which is why I also love putting my light where I want it, even on a cloudy day.

Our brides are the most BEAUTIFUL.  Period.
