Weddings During Covid – Jase and Ben

09.17.20

Jase and Ben – September 7, 2020

Weddings During Covid

Weddings during Covid can be a little nerve wracking. Jase and Ben joined us for our first Labor Day wedding. They were one of the couples who had to reschedule their wedding due to Covid, but they got some great morning light and some lovely weather!! Her smile shined almost as bright as the sun coming through the trees, and that dress was gorgeous with all of the layers of tulle! Congratulations, Jase and Ben!!

From the Bride:

We actually met about 6 years ago online and kind of lost touch just because we were both just immature and not ready for a relationship. Then he randomly messaged me on social media 2 years ago, after not hearing from him for 4 years (I actually didn’t even remember who he was haha!) and we have been inseparable ever since. Our first date was at a park with two of my friends and their 4 kids and it was wonderful, they loved him right off the bat and just assured that I knew he was a keeper.

He proposed. I actually found out about his original plan. My best friend who is the kind of a Tom boy asked me to go get my nails done and it was kind of a dead give away. He had plans for someone to be there to take pictures and everything and then I busted him. So after that I told him to just do it when the time felt right so the very next day he dropped to one knee as we were walking to dinner. No one around but us. I was so shocked I put the ring on my own finger and never actually said the word yes! Haha! Besides that little slip up, It was perfect.

We decided on East Tennessee because I was looking for tiny places to elope and came across your adorable chapel and knew that it was the perfect place for us. Even though we decided to invite close friends and family we still couldn’t say no to this adorable venue! There’s no significance to the date. My original date was in May and Covid messed that up so we chose September.

As cheesy as it sounds we truly are best friends so anything we decide to do is always an amazing time. We love board games, traveling and honestly anything outdoors.

Beauty and the Beast Micro Wedding – Janice and Eric

09.12.20

Janice and Eric – August 30, 2020

Beauty and the Beast Micro Wedding

Janice and Eric joined us August 30th for their Beauty and the Beast micro wedding. She is a huge Disney fan, and this is one of her favorite stories because of the message behind it of finding the beauty within. She incorporated blue, gold, and red for her colors, and she played some music from the film– so sweet. She even chose a husband with a classic Disney prince name (although I’m pretty sure that’s not the reason why, lol). This family was so laid back and sweet. We really enjoyed getting to be a part of their big day!! Congratulations, Janice and Eric!

Kelli and Eric – August 29, 2020

Smokie Mountain Wedding Chapels

Smokie Mountain wedding chapels are a popular option in East Tennessee. Kelli and Eric brought their families to us for our second wedding on August 29th. Kelli is a photographer, and she got to experience things from a different perspective being in front of the camera. 😉 She totally rocked it!! This gorgeous dress has yards and yards of fabric making it a fluffy confection for the eyes. Congratulations, Kelli and Eric!!

From the Bride:

We knew each other from work and met at Applebee’s. We started talking about craft beer, and he invited me over to try the beer on tap at his house. For our first date, we went to a restaurant called black canyon , we then went bowling. Eric proposed. We were doing maternity pictures i was facing the other way and when i turned around i found him on one knee. We decided on East Tennessee because of Covid. We had had our venue, cake, and photographer paid for but we still wanted a beautiful wedding and we found chapel in the hollow. I’m most looking forward to being married to my best friend. We like to enjoy craft beer , spend time with our family and friends a typical date for us is dinner and a few drinks.

She chose a gorgeous dress with rose gold details and lots of visual texture, and he had on some extra swanky shoes. Congratulations, Leslie and Steven!!

From the Bride:

We met when we were officers working together. Our first date was at Applebees. It was like we were young kids again. He took me to an overlook and got down on one knee and surprised me with a HUGE engagement ring. I’m most looking forward to spending the rest of my life with the greatest man I have ever known. We chose August because it’s our anniversary month. For fun, we like sitting together with our little schnauzer Gracie and talking about our day.
