Whitney and Kody's Foothills Parkway and Cades Cove Elopement

Smoky Mountain elopement

Say hello to Whitney and Kody! They had a beautiful first look on the Foothills Parkway, followed by a Cades Cove ceremony surrounded by loved ones <3

How'd you two meet?We met 12 years ago, when a friend of mine (Whitney) met up with an old friend which happened to be Kodys brother and we just instantly sparked and have been by each others side since.

What's your proposal story?Kody planned out a trip to gatlinburg for Valentine’s Day, and planned on proposing in anakeesta but they were shut down that day so with some quick thinking and talking to my sister he decided the skylift would be a great option to, so he asked if I wanted to go up and we did and on the overlook he asked me to take pictures and talked to some people up there to take photos for us and next thing I know the man and wife taking pictures suggested a cute photo of me looking out and when I spun around after the photo kody was on one knee with a ring. It was the best day ever

Why did you choose to elope?We chose to elope bc we wanted a small wedding with only close friends and family and we wanted to get married in the mountains.

Where are you traveling from?We are coming from Cloverdale, indiana
