The trees in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park have gotten their leaves back and the canopy in many spots create sot of woodland cathedrals! Dakota and Chris had a beautiful marriage proposal at Newfound Gap and afterwards we captured gorgeous portraits of them in the beauty of the mountains.

When proposing marriage in the Smokies, Mother Nature does not always ledna helping hand. Rain, snow, ice, wind - what can be done? Two things help: planning and flexibility. Oh, and sometimes just pure grit - so what if you get wet?

It is called Buzzard’s Roost and it is a magnificent cliff at Fall Creek Falls State Park in Middle Tennessee - and just the place to celebrate Veronica and Eric’s love as he proposes marriage!
