Smoky mountain elopement photographer

Create an intimate Elopement experience in the Smoky Mountains

As a Smoky Mountain elopement photographer, I help couples create intimate, meaningful experiences in the Great Smoky Mountains that feel deeply personal and true to who they are.

For couples dreaming of an intimate, meaningful wedding experience surrounded by breathtaking landscapes — wherever your love story leads.

Dreaming of an Elopement Beyond Tennessee?

While the Great Smoky Mountains will always feel like home, I also photograph destination elopements for couples who want to celebrate their love somewhere truly extraordinary. From the dramatic peaks of the Dolomites in Italy to the wild, untamed landscapes of Africa, your elopement can be as adventurous and unique as your love story.

Imagine exchanging vows beside an alpine lake, on a cliff overlooking the ocean, or beneath endless desert skies. Elopements are about freedom — choosing a place that feels meaningful, breathtaking, and completely you. Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony in Europe, a coastal escape, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure abroad, I am ready to travel wherever your story takes you.

As a destination elopement photographer, I help with more than just photos. I guide couples through location ideas, timelines, lighting, and planning so your day feels effortless and deeply personal. No crowded venues. No pressure. Just the two of you, an incredible landscape, and a celebration that feels true to who you are.

If you are dreaming of an elopement in the Dolomites, Iceland, the coast of California, or anywhere across the world, let’s start planning an experience you will never forget

create your own epic Elopement experience!

Eloping means choosing intention over expectation and experience over tradition. Instead of planning a large wedding filled with stress, timelines, and outside opinions, you can create a day that truly reflects who you are as a couple.

As a destination elopement photographer based in the Smoky Mountains, I help couples design unforgettable wedding experiences in breathtaking locations — whether that’s on a mountain overlook, beside an alpine lake, or somewhere halfway across the world. Your elopement can be adventurous, romantic, peaceful, or wildly unique. There are no rules, only moments that feel meaningful to you.

This is your chance to slow down, be present, and celebrate your love in a way that feels natural and deeply personal.

Elopement photography for couples who want more than traditional wedding

Whether you’re planning a Smoky Mountain elopement or dreaming of a destination wedding in the Dolomites, Iceland, or beyond, your day should feel like an experience — not an obligation.

Intimate by nature

Elopements create space for real connection. With just the two of you — or a small circle of loved ones — your wedding day becomes deeply personal, relaxed, and focused on what truly matters: your love story.

Simple and stress-free

Without large guest lists, strict timelines, or complicated logistics, elopements allow you to breathe, be present, and enjoy your day. You get an experience instead of a production.

Authentic to you

An elopement isn’t about tradition or expectations — it’s about designing a wedding day that reflects your personalities, your relationship, and the kind of memories you want to create together.

Gulnaz is amazing. She’s very talented and professional. My wedding photoshoot went great. She was able to pick every special moment and working nonstop during wedding ceremony and reception. I highly recommend her to everyone!!! Great job, G.

No Name

We could not recommend G enough! Planning a destination wedding from 7 hours away was a little stressful until I found G. She was so helpful with her recommendations. She really takes time with her work and goes above and beyond. She had previews to us by the next morning and all our photos back to us within 3 days! Blown away! We will definitely use her again when we are in the area for family photos. Thanks  so much G! You are amazing!!!

Olivia Whitcomb

G is awesome! She’s focused on making sure we get the photos that we’d love.  She is kindhearted and genuine. I love that she knows what to do and direct us for the different poses. She captures the right moments. She also super quick with her turnaround!!  I highly recommend her as your photographer.
