Photography Sessions at Honeysuckle Hills





One of the first questions I'm asked is, "Can I really have photographs made in my wedding dress with your horses?"  

The answer is, Yes!

The second question I get is, "Can we have our photographs made at your venue even if we're not getting married there?"

Again, the answer is yes.

Many couples come to us after getting married at home or another destination venue.  Often times they are on their honeymoon in the Smoky Mountains.  It's a great excuse to wear your wedding dress again, and make more memories with your sweetheart.  As we all know, photographs take us back in time to the days that made our hearts sing the sweetest melodies.  So why not have a honeymoon photography session?

Other couples come to us for anniversary pictures.   You don't have to wear your wedding dress again.  You can bring it, along with a few other memorable trinkets, for use as props.  Or, make this an opportunity to go shopping for another pretty, more casual dress to celebrate your anniversary here.

Bridal photography sessions are my favorite.  There never seems to be enough time on wedding day to do everything you want, including your wedding photographs.  Larger weddings simply have too much going on, and too many demands on your attention.  So why not plan a girls trip to the Smoky Mountains before the wedding?  Have a trial run for your hair and make-up, then let me show you just how beautiful you really are.  Ways to use these images are endless... a special framed portrait for your sweetheart or display at the wedding, special pages in your wedding album... the list goes on and on.  There is no other day in your life you look or feel this special.




 The third question is always, "How much does it cost?"

My question to you in return is, "How important is this moment?"

Most couples come to Honeysuckle Hills for the most special events in their lives.  It's a time when they want to look their very best in the images, because they know they will be looking at them often, and for a very long time.  They also come to us for the many unique photographic opportunities at our venue, such as photographs with our horses.




Our photography sessions include the following:


  • Pricing already includes the 9.75% sales tax
  • Use of our dressing areas prior to the session, as early as you need them
  • Professional editing and enhancements at photographer's discretion prior to viewing
  • Additional image editing requests by client provided for $25 per image  
  • On-line viewing and ordering site provided for six months
  • Digital download, password protected, available for six months
  • All full-resolution images on flash drive 
  • Copyright release to print as you wish (high resolution images)
  • 8x8" album with 30 of your favorite images
  • Ability to upgrade to larger or other unique album choices

Honeysuckle Hills Photography Session Fees

One hour, $1299

One and a half hours, $1799

Two hours, $1999


Did you know?
  • Only one photography session or event is scheduled at the Honeysuckle Hills venue daily
  • Our venue and photography studio is private, not open to the general public
  • There are more opportunities for beautiful backdrops and props at Honeysuckle Hills than you will find in generic locations such as the National Park or other public areas used by photographers without their own studio
  • Our horses are trained to run behind you for a more breath-taking image

What if it rains?


Sometimes we make it look like it's raining...



But, if it actually does rain on the day you're scheduled for photography, we can change your session time.  Usually, it does not rain all day long, and since we only schedule one session each day we have more flexibility.  If the session cannot be rescheduled during daylight hours during a rare all-day rain event, we will reschedule for another day.  

Because we have a no-refund policy, if you are afraid you will encounter bad weather it may be better to schedule your session last-minute and risk finding an available date.  


Can I take my own pictures, or bring my own photographer to Honeysuckle Hills instead of using your photographer?

By booking your wedding at Honeysuckle Hills you are welcome to use the photographer of your choice during the reservation hours booked.  During your wedding, outside photographers are allowed to use all areas except behind the fences with our horses and 1950 Ford truck.

No other use of our venue for photography is permitted without booking a photography session with Regina.   We are not open to the public.

A Pigeon Forge Wedding Package for Cake Lovers




Girls, there's a way to have a wedding with a reception even if you only have a few guests.

As a matter of fact, inviting less than 30 guests to your wedding is a smart thing to do.  Chances are, the ones who get the invitation are close family and friends.  You know, the ones you actually interact with lovingly on a daily basis.


The Honeysuckle Hills wedding venue in Pigeon Forge has the perfect all-inclusive wedding package for couples with smaller guest counts who still want a reception.


All of our wedding ceremony sites are decorated with a base of whites and greens.  Aunt Sharon will add flowers that closely match your own wedding colors.  Here, she added a few purple flowers along with sunflowers.  The bride brought white petals for us to sprinkle down the aisle.


 The wedding experience here is like none other you will find.  It's important to me that you feel wanted and loved here, so my family only accepts one wedding each day.

This means that you and your bridal party have access to our dressing rooms as early as 9am.  So bring those curling irons and bags of make-up... or hire someone to come here to do your hair and make-up for you.

Your guests are welcome to arrive a full hour prior to your wedding ceremony.  This ensures they won't be late, and won't be turned away if they arrive a little earlier than ceremony time.

And if the wedding photographs are important to you, Emily and I will make all your friends jealous when they see your images...


The "Country Sugar" 
Honeysuckle Hills Wedding Package


  • Tour and drop off time for wedding items on a day before your wedding
  • Two hours of wedding activity time for ceremony, reception, and photography
  • Bridal party has access to dressing areas by 9am
  • Wedding guests have access to our venue one hour prior to your ceremony
  • Wedding director to welcome guests, direct the wedding, and play your ceremony music
  • Your choice of ceremony location (we have more than one or two)
  • Back-up plans if it rains (wedding chapel upstairs or covered pavilion outdoors, always ready)
  • Beautiful decorations already in place
  • If you choose our photography, it includes the flash drive of all your wedding images after editing and artwork, copyright release, on-line viewing site for your family, and a highlight slideshow for social media sharing
  • Wedding cake with tea, lemonade, and bottled water (you may exchange tea and lemonade for assorted canned sodas) for up to 30 guests 
  • Add $10 per person for guest counts over 30.  
  • All seating, tables, linens, set-up, serving, and clean-up

Total cost, including the 9.75% sales tax is as follows:

$2999 Wed-Fri with our photography

$1999 Wed-Fri without our photography

$3299 Saturdays with photography

$2299 Saturdays without photography







Center pieces and log slices are also included.  Here is Aunt Sharon's 2018 creation with a base of whites and creams.


Tell us your own wedding colors, and Aunt Sharon will add flowers that closely match your personal theme.




Would you like to explore even more wedding options at Honeysuckle Hills?  We have couples who travel from all over the world to get married here, because they don't want a commercial approach to their wedding.  Share your time with a family who cares instead of standing in line to wait your turn.

Honeysuckle Hills Quick List Wedding Guide

Thinking about where to get married in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg?

Already booked your wedding with us at Honeysuckle Hills?

This wedding guide and planner will be your little helper!  

Rather than list all the topics and vendors alphabetically, they'll be in the order typically needed as you plan your wedding.


Where to get married

 Click here to view Honeysuckle Hills

A personal Introduction by Regina and Emily

Why Honeysuckle Hills?
  • It's where I grew up, and where I enjoy making our visitors feel loved
  • Privacy
  • It's the most personal wedding experience you'll find anywhere
  • If photography is a high priority, our venue can't be beat (whether you use our photographer or your own)
  • If it's needed for a wedding, we probably have it.  

That's the short list description.  Let's talk to learn more and pick a wedding package that works best for you!  Email Regina

If I can't help you at Honeysuckle Hills, I'll help you find another venue that will make you happy.  Why?  Because your wedding means something to me.

Here's our list of most popular wedding packages:





All our packages can be customized, or ask Regina to build one from scratch.


Where to Stay

Here's my personal list of favorite lodging for Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg








How to Get Your Marriage License


Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg make it easy to get a marriage license.  No waiting period, no fuss.


Where to get a Minister or Wedding Officiant

I have a list of dedicated officiants who want your ceremony to be personal and heart-felt.  I know officiants for Christian, civil, and even same-sex weddings.  All weddings are treated with the love and respect they deserve.  Email Regina with your request and I will provide contact information for the best officiant for your wedding.

And yes, you may use your own minister at Honeysuckle Hills if you wish.  This also saves money on our all-inclusive wedding packages.  (Otherwise you simply don't add it to the venue rental)


Where for Hair and Make-up


Want her to come to you?  Text Madison from Loxx Salon at 865-256-7810



Flowers and Bouquets


Please note their website is pretty generic.  Once you call them, Kelly and her mother Kris will take excellent care of you, and even deliver.

Yes, you can send her pictures you found on Pinterest.

This is also the florist Honeysuckle Hills has used for twelve years as part of your all-inclusive wedding package.


Where to Eat / Get Food Catered


I call him the "better than Paula Dean" Chef!   Please consider his services even if you don't get married at Honeysuckle Hills.

Chef Tony is the caterer included in the Country Charm and Perfect Wedding all-inclusive packages.  He'll also design and bake your wedding cake!



Chef Ray is the man to call if you want a romantic dinner cooked for the two of you in your honeymoon cabin.  He will also cater for several guests, doing all cooking, serving, and cleaning in the privacy of your lodging.

(Honeysuckle Hills does not have a kitchen, so please refer back to Chef Tony for food at our venue.)


This is the absolute BEST fine restaurant for a honeymoon dinner after you elope, or even for several guests after an intimate wedding.  Tables on the river, best salad bar anywhere, and they'll wheel out a cart so you can choose your cut of meat.


Great place for a small crowd to gather after a wedding for your reception.  It's a local favorite!  However, this is not the best choice during high traffic times in Pigeon Forge (during car show weekends, July, or October.) 


Another local favorite, and great for a small crowd after a wedding for the reception.  This restaurant is closer, only about 15 minutes from Honeysuckle Hills.

Where to get a Wedding Cake


This is the bakery we use for our all-inclusive packages called Country Style and Country Sugar.  Buttercream designs, and yes they will do their best to duplicate a picture you send from Pinterest, etc.  

Feel free to give them a call for delivery to a restaurant or cabin, too!


Music and Entertainment


The most fun, reliable, and reputable DJ service in our area.  In the Smoky Mountains, internet is a precious commodity.  Trust me when I say that you DO NOT want to have family members provide your sound.  When traveling, something always goes wrong with equipment, and internet streaming is often sketchy at best.

This DJ is included in all our all-inclusive wedding packages.  It's the little things they provide that count, like Bluetooth speakers without cords, assistants, and a convenient on-line music planner.


Bartenders and Alcohol

Whether you want a party or just a good toast, alcohol is permitted at Honeysuckle Hills by hiring a licensed and insured company like The Pour Guys Bar-Tending Service.

Worried about the winding mountain roads after your guests consume their liquor, moonshine, or beer?  Well, just ask Jerry about "The Valet Guys."  He'll get your guests home safely.


The Wedding Budget

Such a touchy subject, that's why it's last.   

Most of the time, couples do not have a realistic expectation when it comes to the wedding budget.  This is not your fault.  All you need is a little education.

 I believe in providing the best wedding service I can for you.  That said, Honeysuckle Hills is not the cheapest venue you're going to find, but it's certainly not the most expensive, either.  You will not regret your investment with us.  I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with our rates.  (Located at the beginning of this article)

If you're looking to get married cheap, less than a few hundred dollars, your best bet is to hire an officiant to meet you in public or at your cabin.  

Pastor Tommy is one of my favorites.  We use him often at Honeysuckle Hills.


Always keep in mind that the more guests you invite, the more it's going to cost. 

Why?
  • A bigger venue space will be needed
  • More reservation time will be needed
  • More food is required
  • Vendors hired will need to stay longer and charge more
  • Even with DIY, you will spend more in the long run than you originally intend

Also keep in mind that the type of experience you want may cost more.  

Why?
  • Some venues have more privacy than others
  • Venues with a better atmosphere limit the number of weddings they provide in order to give you more attention.  
  • Some venues have a better reputation and more years of experience with the same staff members (unlike corporate venues with high employee turnover)
  • Some venues have more offerings like bigger spaces, dressing areas, seating, linens, and an experienced coordinator
  • Photographers who have more lighting, posing, and post-production experience cost more.  "Natural Light" has extreme limitations in an uncontrolled wedding situation.  That's why those photographers are cheaper, because they have an excuse if something didn't turn out just right.
  • Some venues spend thousands more in landscaping and flowers
  • Venues like Honeysuckle Hills have horses.  If you've never owned a horse, just go find someone who has and they'll explain it.  

Still Need Help?

No worries!

Text me, Regina, Tuesdays through Saturdays any time 10am til 6pm and I can provide a quick answer.  865-368-5569

Email Me if you have questions that will require more lengthy answers.

Call me at 866-572-7724.  Yes, a good old-fashioned conversation works best sometimes.  

And remember, if Honeysuckle Hills isn't best for you, I'll help you find a wedding venue that is.  

Here's Your Prize!

If you read this article from start to finish, and you book your wedding at Honeysuckle Hills, tell me and I'll give you a $50 discount on your wedding reservation, in addition to any other discounts you may qualify for!

How and Where to Elope in the Winter



Winter elopements in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are quickly becoming a more popular way to get married.  One reason is there are some great "off-season" discounts that will enable you to book a much nicer place to get married than you may have been able to afford during peak wedding season.  (Plus there's more availability... the best venues book well in advance.)

If you're planning to elope during the months of December, January, or February, it's an excellent time to consider the Honeysuckle Hills Wedding Venue. 

2018 will start our twelfth year making new friends and wedding memories, so why don't you be one of the first to ring in the New Year?
Come see how we're decorated for Christmas weddings both inside and outside!  Our Christmas wedding weekends are happening now through December 23rd.  



While we can't guarantee it will snow on the day you get married, wouldn't it be especially romantic if it does?  Honeysuckle Hills has some of the best scenery for wedding photographs (and one of the best wedding photographers!)  


Tips to elope to our private wedding venue in the winter months:

  • Check availability of your wedding date BEFORE booking your cabin or hotel
  • Be sure to reserve enough time for the wedding photography
  • Gather your driver's license and social security cards for your marriage license
  • Bring along your own bouquet, or order your flowers from our local florist
  • Decide if you'd rather do your own make-up and hair, or book your salon appointment
  • Pack a warm coat to wear during the outdoor set changes
  • If you wear high heels for the indoor wedding ceremony, bring a pair of boots for the outdoor photography, especially if you plan on photographs with our horses or vintage Ford truck
  • Talk to Regina in depth about the locations on our property that you love, and she will help you book enough time to include all of them
  • Your family is welcome to come with you.  We can accommodate up to 50 guests in the winter, but we do not host wedding receptions during that time.  Again, be sure to reserve enough time if you prefer to bring your loved ones.
  • Creative wedding photography at our venue requires your willingness to give us your time and attention. We cannot rush through this process, and you will not be pleased with the results if we do.  


Pricing
**Discounts listed are for the months of December through February**

All prices below already include Sales Tax

Military, either active or retired, please accept an additional 10% discount as a small token of my appreciation to you.

All wedding packages include
  • Scheduled visit on a day before your wedding to choose ceremony site, allow Regina to get to know you, and make a plan for the photography
  • Choice of ceremony location, including back-up plan for rain
  • Two private dressing rooms (in the winter we can allow you in any time before the wedding)
  • Private wedding venue not open to the public
  • Minister / Wedding Officiant
  • Wedding Director (to guide you on what to do next, and even play ceremony music)
  • Professional Wedding Photography
  • Flash drive of all wedding images (after our editing and art work is completed)
  • Credit toward professional prints, canvases, or albums.  (or take this as a discount off the package price)  



An Hour of Beauty

 $1080 (Normally $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      

$1620 (normally $1800) Wed-Fri            
$1800 (normally $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

$2250 (normally $2500) Wed-Fri             
$2610 (normally $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.  (This is the most common during winter months since the road to Beeler Mountain is not safe to travel if it snows.)

 This is also the best wedding package to choose if you invite guests.  We can accommodate up to 50 guests without a reception during the winter months. 




How to Book Your Couples Only Wedding

1) Let's find your perfect wedding date!   Email Regina Now or call 866-572-7724.

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 along with the gorgeous hotel Black Fox Lodge

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.




Romantic things to do in the winter in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg




Because our wedding photography is the number one reason couples come to Honeysuckle Hills, we'll leave you with a few images taken during the months of January through early March.









Have some fun with it!  Yes, we have a saucy side when it comes to the wedding photographs, but we can have a good time, too.  A lot of our couples bring their own props (like a shotgun) to tell the real story of their relationship.

 Talk to me... let's plan an elopement that no one will ever forget.

Mountain View Weddings in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge


Every day a bride asks me about the mountain views at Honeysuckle Hills.  It's no wonder, since getting married in the Smoky Mountains is the best place in the world!  

There are two different types of mountain views in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.  

The further you climb, the better the mountain view.  So, if you're looking for that majestic, non-stop chain of mountains receding into the distance you're going to need to drive way up top in Gatlinburg.  
Honeysuckle Hills is located on one of the mountains you'd be staring down on from up top.  We're actually in a little valley of mountain ridges, so it's as if the mountains are giving you a "hug."  



View from the hill directly across from Honeysuckle Hills.  This area is used frequently for wedding photographs with a mountain view.

While walking through our beautiful property, you'll see these mountain ridges all around you.  Here's one of our mountain ridge views that you'll see while walking both to or from our arched bridge.  



As you can see, mountain views aren't all we have.  Our flower gardens make a setting no one in your wedding will ever forget.  It's not uncommon for guests to spend as much time photographing our scenery as they do you in your wedding dress!


As you're driving up to Honeysuckle Hills, this is one of the beautiful mountain ridge views you'll see as you pull in.  It's also one we love to have in the background for wedding photographs with our horses.  Sugar is trained to come when called, run behind you, and walk with you if you use our award-winning photographer.  This image was taken in early May, when the spring wildflowers are in abundance.



Basically, wherever you walk on property you're going to see a rising hill that makes up the full mountain chain of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Some of the advantages of our smaller ridge views are the fact the roads are better (most mountain chain views require a long drive up steep, winding roads,) and we have a more spacious atmosphere for your guests to enjoy themselves, instead of being right on the side of a cliff.


Honeysuckle Hills is the perfect wedding venue if you're searching for scenery, friendly family staff, and wedding packages for elopements all the way up to all-inclusive wedding packages for up to 100 guests.

Let's not forget the wedding photography... we're still the most sought after for jaw-dropping creativity!  Let us show you just how beautiful you are.  I guarantee you're more gorgeous than any mountain view... come see us!

Fall Weddings in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg



Wedding Tips from the "Squirrel Girl"

When do the leaves look their best for a fall wedding in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg?  It's all about location...

The beautiful auburn reds and gold start up top near Cherokee, North Carolina around October 1st. God steadily works his paintbrush down the mountain until about the first or second week in November.  Gatlinburg will see beautiful fall leaf color sooner than Pigeon Forge and Wears Valley areas.

If you're planning to get married in the Smoky Mountains during the fall months, be certain you plan at least a year in advance, if not sooner, especially if you want a wedding on a Saturday.

If you're a last-minute bride, don't stress... sometimes there are unfortunate cancellations.  So while it may be more challenging to find a place to get married in Tennessee, it's not impossible.  You may have to be more flexible than you originally intended, but fall is indeed the best time to get married.

Our Honeysuckle Hills wedding venue is at a lower elevation, so our leaf color peaks during the last week of October and the first week of November.  A few leaves hang in there until just after Thanksgiving, when the trees finally yield to the coming winter.  Witch hazel continues to provide a stunning backdrop right up until December 1st.

After the last golden maple leaf falls, witch hazel steals the fall scene just before winter


Tips for the best Fall Wedding in Tennessee


  • Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge still can't be beat when it comes to wedding locations.  Mountains, views, nature, and variety of venues abound
  • Plan Early.  If you think it's too early to secure your venue, it's probably already too late.
  • Stay in town longer to explore all the best places to view fall foliage in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Wears Valley is a central point, allowing you to branch out to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Townsend.  www.summitcabinrentals.com
  • Consider hotels like https://www.blackfoxlodge.com/ if you can't stay more than one night in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.  Most cabins will require a two to three night minimum stay.
  • For the most creative wedding photography, go to www.honeysucklehills.com.  Lovers of horses, flower gardens and southern hospitality have flocked to this family oriented wedding venue for eleven years running.
  • For a short, sweet elopement at a lower cost, but an absolutely gorgeous river waterfall and grounds, see Clyde and Tina at www.friendlyfalls.com.  Just visiting the Smoky Mountains to see the fall colors?  Stop in and sit a spell.  You'll leave with the most amazing stories to tell.
  • For a rustic mountain wedding venue that's just like a wedding in Cades Cove, only without nosy tourists, go to www.starkeytowncove.com.  Jeep lovers, hikers, outdoor adventurists and even moonshiners are steadily discovering this mountain wedding secret!

You know if a wedding planner decides to get married in the fall, it's the best time!  Even my little rescue squirrel, Sassy, thought so.  Hugs y'all!

The Fantasy Wedding Photographer in Gatlinburg, TN




As the craze for Game of Thrones, Zelda, and Dungeons and Dragons continues, so will the demand for a more unique approach to wedding photography.

Images like these don't have to be the entire focus of your wedding, but they sure can put a little extra "WOW" into the wedding memories.

Milesa came to me after seeing a photograph we had done for a previous bride showing our wedding horse, Sugar, as a Unicorn.  That bride was proposed to at Disneyland during dinner.  She found her engagement ring beneath a silver platter on a shiny glass slipper!

While our original intent was to create another unicorn scene, I wanted to try out a brand new mirror photography prop Aunt Sharon made.  When I mentioned fairies and butterflies, Milesa's eyes lit up brighter than the East Tennessee night time stars!

The ferns and whimsical decor on the mirror truly make this photograph of Milesa as a butterfly fairy bride.  I think a traditional white wedding gown wouldn't have worked nearly as well as the flowing gray dress does.



I have always held a strong fascination for the moon, maybe because my zodiac sign is cancer.  I can't say I put much faith the zodiac... but I absolutely love any work of art that displays the moon.

I could tell from the moment I met our bride, Shayna, that she and her husband have an extremely passionate love that will keep them in the honeymoon phase for quite some time.  Her image was created in our horse field which has enough privacy to be a little more risque.  The moon, clouds, and night time look was added later.


Katie is one of our brides who fell in love with another image we did last year using our antique window photography prop.  I never like to duplicate a wedding picture... I prefer to come up with a new design whenever possible that compliments each bride individually.

Katie's fantasy wedding image took on a life of its own during the art process.  We used a back-light during the original capture in our enchanted forest by the creek.  The lake and moon were added later.



I'll never forget the bride who loves The Lord of the Rings!  We used a little charcoal lighter fluid to create this image, even in the candle holder in her hand.  An overlay was added later for the more dramatic look.

Fog machines, smoke bombs, running horses, mirrors... You never know what I might decide to use next!

If you want something different, and you're getting married in the mountains of East Tennessee, come see me.  We'll create something beautiful together, and we'll become lasting friends in the process.

Hugs!

Regina
