Alisha - Owner, Planner, and Photographer

I am more than just a coordinator. Being born and raised in East Tennessee, I bring you all the benefits of local knowledge. I can suggest locations, officiants, and even the best places to eat. As a photographer, I visualize your elopement with the perfect pictures in mind—those Pinterest-worthy shots that you'll be excited to share with your loved ones.

Whether you are an adventurous couple who loves hiking every weekend or prefer cozying up on the couch, I will tailor your elopement to reflect your unique love story. Rest assured, your elopement is safe in my great hands.

Heather - Photographer

I'm the bubbly photographer who's always ready to make you laugh - because let's be real, who doesn't love a good laugh, right? I'm all about living in the moment and embracing whatever comes our way. Life is full of surprises, and I believe there's a reason for everything that happens. That's why elopements hold a special place in my heart. They allow us to be fully present, to embrace the love and the beauty of the moment, no matter what it may bring.

With 13 years (and counting!) of experience as a photographer, I can honestly say that I love every single second of it. Capturing those special moments, freezing them in time, and creating memories that last a lifetime is what fuels my creative soul.

I’m so thrilled and ready to work with you!

Tom - Officiant

I'm originally from Maryland and moved to TN in 2002.

Lifelong Christian. Officiating weddings since 2010. Professional, outgoing, sincere.Love 80's music and singing old songs.Love cats, jeeps, road trips, football. 

 I love officiating elopements because they are fun and rewarding. It’s an honor to be a part of the couple’s special day. Couples enjoy having me as an officiant because I am always smiling, upbeat, and positive. Eloping in Gatlinburg is so special because you can have a scenic, romantic, outdoor wedding in the mountains. 

Christian - Officiant

I officiate weddings for couples who are excited to create an original, heartfelt wedding ceremony that reflects the essence of who they are together.

Here's a little more about me: 

I am a newlywed, having decided to elope myself with my wonderful bride! I have lived in many beautiful destinations in support of the United States military and some not so beautiful ones as well. I have conducted many private ceremonies for couples in New Mexico and now in Tennessee.

I take my duties as a Wedding Officiant very personally, professionally, and passionately. I'm excited to help couples truly explore, express & celebrate their love!

Your relationship is unique; your ceremony should be too. 

Jim - Officiant

Jim Eastin served as a pastor for many years.  He retired to the Smokies and we made him un-retire to do weddings with us.  

Jim makes all our couples feel valued and special.  He will perform a Christian or a non-religious wedding or even a Commitment ceremony for those who would prefer that.  

Jim says, "The great thing about getting married in the Smokies is that all the pressure is off you.  You don't have to worry about the guest list getting too big or if the food will suit everyone or that you have to dress a certain way.  You can invite just the people you want, or it can be just the two of you.  You can be married in a cabin or with a beautiful riverside or a mountain view. You can wear what makes you feel happy.  It is just so much easier!

Stephanie - Photographer

Hi there! I'm Steph, a natural light photographer with a fascination for new places & new faces. Being in the industry for over 10 years has made me a professional third wheel with a way of adapting to the energy on your day, allowing those I'm photographing to feel at ease and natural. When not behind the camera, you can find me hiking with my goldendoodle Lou or trying out a new recipe...with a glass of cabernet in hand.

Pastor Jody - Officiant

Officiating elopements is an unparalleled joy, allowing me to witness love in its most authentic and intimate form. These ceremonies strip away the noise, focusing solely on the couple and their deep connection. Against breathtaking backdrops, I guide them through vows filled with raw emotion, sharing their unbridled excitement as they begin their journey together. Elopements offer a beautiful escape from tradition, letting love speak for itself in its purest form. Each ceremony reminds me of the power and beauty of two souls uniting in love, leaving an indelible mark on my heart.

Rachel - Officiant and Helping Hand

My name is Rachel Joi Maples. I am a stay at home mommy and homeschooler for 3 boys. I love coffee, all things Harry Potter, coffee, books, coffee, country music, and did I mention coffee?

I got involved in wedding elopements because my husband is a minister here in the Smoky Mountains and many times (even with the simplest of elopements) a little help is needed. Regardless of if it is just making sure everyone is in the right place, being an assistant for the minister or photographer, and even taking photos for the couple with their cell phone so there are immediate day of photo memories. 

On your wedding day, I will do everything I can to help make it special and as Effortless as possible.
