Cole + Rachel
Maggie Valley, North Carolina
Eloping in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park doesn’t get much better than this! Rachel & Cole shared their vows on an overlook off the Blue Ridge parkway, inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This place was incredibly special to the bride’s mom, and I think she honored them with the beautiful misty sunset we saw that evening when the couple hiked up to the top of Waterrock Knob.

“In that still and settled place. There’s nobody but you. You’re where I breath my oxygen. You’re where I see my view. And when the world feels full of noise, my heart knows what to do. It finds that still and settled place and dances there with you.”
