Morning Wedding in the Fall – Amber and Tony

Morning Wedding in the Fall

Amber and Tony – September 23, 2023

 

Amber and Tony chose to celebrate their love with a delightful morning wedding in the fall at Chapel in the Hollow. Get ready for a story filled with love, uniqueness, and unforgettable moments!
The chapel was dressed in a captivating blend of blush and teal, creating a serene atmosphere with a touch of elegance. What made this setup truly special was the absence of florals, letting the colors shine on their own. It was a refreshing departure from tradition!
Amber was an absolute vision in her spaghetti strap dress adorned with layers that added depth and charm to her look. The long veil, a labor of love that she crafted herself, added an extra layer of beauty to her bridal ensemble. Tony was equally dashing in black dress pants and a sleek black dress shirt, showcasing their unique sense of style.
Their bridesmaids and groomsmen embraced the theme by donning all-black attire, adding a chic and modern touch to the ceremony. But what truly set this bridal party apart was the preparation; Amber put them through “bridal party boot camp,” ensuring that everyone knew their roles and responsibilities, leaving no room for mishaps on this special day.
As the anticipation built, their beloved puppy and the bridesmaids and groomsmen stood in support, eagerly awaiting Amber’s walk down the aisle before taking their seats to watch the ceremony. It was a heartwarming display of unity and love.
Amber and Tony incorporated a unique and touching element into their ceremony—a ring blessing. The rings were passed through all the guests, allowing them to imbue the rings with their love and hopes for the couple’s future. It was a beautiful symbol of the love and support that surrounded them.
After the ceremony, we gathered for a joyful group photo, capturing the essence of togetherness and celebration. Then, when the guests departed, we turned our focus to capturing the beautiful chemistry between Amber and Tony. Their connection was undeniable and made for some truly stunning couple photos.
Amber and Tony’s morning wedding was a testament to their love, their unique style, and the meaningful moments that define their journey together. It was an honor to witness their special day and capture the magic of their love story. Cheers to the happy couple!
From the Bride and Groom:
We met at the local dirt bike track back in 2020. Tony is a professional motocross rider, Amber is a photographer for the sport and that’s how they met. Along with a cheesy pick up line from Tony. The first date was very laid back. Amber drove from PA to OH to hangout with Tony in his garage while he worked on his bike to get ready to ride that weekend. 
Tony proposed, January 2023. We were on an evening walk with our dog. Tony got down on one knee while Amber was cleaning up dog poop. Very romantic. We decided on an East Tennessee wedding because The Great Smoky Mountains is one of our favorite national parks. We figured it was an easy meeting ground as we are in Florida and most of our family is in between PA & OH. 
We love dirt bikes, hiking and love the outdoors. We travel more than we are home. We have the best life. We also wouldn’t be able to celebrate these day without our dog Lilianne.

Smokey Mountain Micro Wedding

Deena and Kameron – September 21, 2023

Deena and Kameron decided to unite their lives and celebrate their love in the heart of nature with a Smokey Mountain micro wedding at Chapel in the Hollow. It was a day filled with warmth and enchantment!
Deena looked positively radiant, thanks to her stunning hair and makeup from Organic Infusion. She graced us in a white dress with charming cold shoulder sleeves and no train, exuding an air of timeless beauty. Kameron looked dashing in jeans and a tan jacket, adding a touch of rustic charm to their day. A truly heartwarming moment occurred as Deena’s father proudly walked her down the aisle, to the soulful melodies played by Auburn, their dedicated event manager. It was a touching tribute to the love and support of family.
Their young son played a special role as well, strolling down the aisle with an adorable sign, while a bridesmaid and groomsman each carried one of their precious twin babies. It was a family affair filled with love and joy! Deena’s aunt added a personal touch to the day by crafting her beautiful bouquet and boutonniere. It was a wonderful reminder that love and care are woven into every detail of their celebration.
Before stealing away for some private moments, we captured some delightful family photos, preserving the cherished memories of their special day. Then, it was time to whisk the couple away for photos and video in the enchanting field, where their love truly shone.
Deena and Kameron’s Smokey Mountain micro wedding was a heartfelt celebration of love, family, and the beauty of simplicity. It was an honor to be part of their journey, and I’m excited to see the wonderful adventures that await them. Cheers to the newlyweds!
From the Bride:
I was 14 and Kameron was 16 when we first met. We met through Taner (best man). He was talking to one of my friends and they wanted to hang out but she didn’t want me to feel like I was the third wheel so she told Taner to bring a friend. The first night we met Kameron told me he loved me. I thought he was crazy. Since that night it seemed like we were inseparable. We lived 40 minutes from each other so that didn’t make it easy throughout high school but we always found a way to spend time together whether it was at his basketball games or hanging out on the weekends, we always made time for each other. At my high school graduation party, May 11, 2019, Kameron asked me to marry him in front of all of our family and friends. Of course I said yes but before I said yes I asked if he asked my parents LOL. It hasn’t always been easy, but our love for each other grows stronger every day. We will be getting married on our 8 year anniversary. We have three kids together. Klay will be three the day after our wedding and the twins, Kaisey & Drew, will be 3 months old on the day of our wedding. Kameron and I have grown up together and have been through many stages of life together already. I can’t wait to go through many more with him and our little family.
We’ve been wanting to plan a wedding for so long but there was never enough time or money between nursing school, not working during school, having kids. So finally we decided while I was on maternity leave with the twins we were going to do it. We were just going to have it at our cabin in TN while on family vacation but we came across chapel in the hollow and i knew it was where I wanted to get married. Luckily enough our special date was open. 💗
We already are a complete family but I’m ready to have the same last name as my best friend and my babies. Just to finally be married (on our anniversary) after 8 years together.

Moody Micro Wedding

Melissa and Aaron – September 16, 2023

Let me take you on a journey to the heart of the Smoky Mountains near Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, where Melissa and Aaron cast a spell with their moody micro wedding at Chapel in the Hollow. Get ready for some breathtaking beauty!
The chapel was transformed into an enchanting wonderland, dressed in rich black and burgundy fabric that perfectly complemented our moody florals. It was a sight to behold! Melissa, our stunning bride, defied her own expectation by looking absolutely breathtaking in her strapless dress paired with a mid-length veil. Can you believe it? This gorgeous redhead isn’t a fan of photos of herself, but on her wedding day, she was simply radiant.
Aaron, the dapper groom, rocked black pants with a light pink shirt, black suspenders, and a classic black bowtie. His style was on point and added a touch of sophistication to their day. Their adult children played significant roles in the wedding. Melissa’s son walked her down the aisle, a touching moment filled with love and support. Her daughter took the stage as the officiant, and the others served as bridesmaids and groomsmen. It was truly a family affair that made their day even more special.
As if their love story needed any more drama, Mother Nature decided to join the party. The rainy day added to the overall feel of the wedding, creating a moody and romantic atmosphere that perfectly matched their theme. Melissa and Aaron’s micro wedding was an intimate celebration of love amidst the stunning backdrop of the Smoky Mountains. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most magical moments happen in the most unexpected ways. Cheers to the newlyweds!
From the Bride:
We met online 4 years ago. Our first date was amazing… dinner and drinks and a lot of conversation and sparks! Aaron proposed in the rain where we had our first date. We decided to have an East Tennessee wedding because my daughter lived in Tennessee for a few years and we love it there. I am looking forward to becoming Mrs. Walter, of course! For fun, we are both movie buffs and foodies. We love road trips and trying out new restaurants!

Intimate Fall Wedding

Petra and Justin – September 16, 2023

 

Hey there, friends! I’m thrilled to share the beautiful story of Petra and Justin, who chose Chapel in the Hollow for their intimate fall wedding. It was such a heartwarming celebration!
The chapel was adorned with pristine white fabric, a canvas for the stunning succulent florals that added an elegant touch to their special day. Petra looked absolutely radiant in her sleeveless dress, complete with a long veil that allowed us to capture some enchanting flying veil photos. Justin, effortlessly cool, rocked jeans paired with a white dress shirt and a charming brown vest. Their style was just perfect!
Their children played significant roles in the ceremony, serving as groomsmen and a flower girl, making it a true family affair. Petra even crafted her own bouquet, adding a personal touch to the day’s beauty. To make things even sweeter, Justin’s twin brother stepped in to help the flower girl and ring bearer down the aisle, creating a heartwarming moment of unity.
As luck would have it, the weather decided to sprinkle some blessings during the family photos. Despite the drizzle, their spirits remained undampened, and it added a unique touch to their wedding memories. Petra and Justin’s intimate fall wedding was a blend of love, family, and the unexpected joys of life. It was an honor to be part of their journey, and I’m so excited to see where their love story takes them next. Cheers to the newlyweds!
From the Bride:
We had met through mutual friends about a year before dating. Seeing each other around here and there, I finally reached out to him. After talking on the phone for a few weeks, we decided to hangout. It was like we had known each other for years. We spent many nights staying up way too late just talking and laughing, still just as friends and seeing where things would go. In the back of our minds, we already knew.. this was it. This was going to be love. There was one night where a song came on and he asked me to dance with him in his living room, at that very moment, I knew I was in love.
For our first date, we went on the typical movie date night, afterwards we both just had to laugh because the “scary” movie we chose was just the corniest movie we had ever seen. When we got back that night is when he asked me to be with him, of course I said yes! 
One night, we were just hanging out at home (our favorite place to be) and I heard our song come on. As I turned around, Justin and the boys were down on one knee at the top of the stairs. My heart exploded with happiness, of course I said yes!
We wanted to do something small and intimate. I have always wanted to go to Tennessee and see the mountains.. So we decided to go get married in them! I am looking forward to finally marrying my best friend. Standing up there with him as time stands still.. saying, I DO. Blessed to be able to share this very moment with our kids and our family.
For fun, we love spending time with the kids. Sporting events, fishing, swimming. We just love spending time together on our property.
