A Misty Mountain Christian Micro Wedding
at Chapel in the Hollow
Hailey and Seth – May 29, 2025
When it comes to intimate, faith-filled celebrations surrounded by the beauty of creation, Hailey and Seth’s Christian micro wedding at Chapel in the Hollow was the perfect example of what happens when love and nature come together in harmony.
Nestled deep in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee, this romantic, Christ-centered celebration embraced the quiet beauty of the forest, a touch of mountain mist, and the presence of God — all woven together into one unforgettable day.
A Chapel Dressed in White and Simplicity
Hailey and Seth chose a timeless, elegant look for their ceremony space — the chapel was draped in flowing white fabric, accented by our classic white florals. The result was effortlessly beautiful and clean, allowing their love(and their faith) to take center stage.
With the soft sounds of the forest in the background and the air just misty enough to feel otherworldly, their Christian micro wedding felt like a sacred moment frozen in time.
A Radiant Bride and a God-Honoring Ceremony
Hailey was breathtaking in her long sleeve illusion top gown, complete with a lace overlay and long train that trailed gracefully behind her as she walked through the forest aisle. Her mom and sister helped her get ready, creating such tender, meaningful moments before the ceremony began. Her father walked her down the aisle, and let’s just say — there wasn’t a dry eye in sight.
Seth wore a classic black suit, and the way he looked at Hailey during the vows? The kind of pure, intentional love you read about in devotionals. Their personal vows were thoughtful, emotional, and faith-filled — you could feel the presence of God in that space as they spoke promises over one another beneath the trees.
Faith, Fog, and Forest Romance
As if the ceremony wasn’t dreamy enough, the weather added its own touch of magic. Rain came and went throughout the day, leaving behind a foggy, ethereal mist that wrapped around the trees and created a scene straight out of a storybook.
Instead of dampening the mood, the rain enhanced everything. It made the forest feel still, reverent — like nature itself was witnessing their covenant before God. Their couple portraits, captured by Star Noir Studio, were absolutely stunning with the foggy mountain backdrop and soft light filtering through the forest canopy.
This Christian micro wedding wasn’t just a beautiful event — it was a heartfelt worship moment. A declaration of love, faith, and intention. A reminder that when two people choose to build a marriage on Christ, they create something unshakable.
From the Bride
We met at work. On our first date we went to Cheddar’s and ate dinner. He picked me up and we hit it off immediately.
Seth proposed in his living room. We had just got back from a TN men’s basketball game and I kept ruining all his opportunities at proposing. We chose Chapel in the Hollow because we love the aesthetics of the chapel nestled in the Tennessee woods. I can’t wait to marry the love of my life. We love to go on random road trips. We are very spontaneous people. We also spend a lot of time at church and with our church family.
