Cades Cove is a wonderful place in the Great Smoky Mountains for portraits after a wedding. These two wed in another part of Tennessee and vacationed in the Smokies back in 2015. They wanted their portraits taken somewhere in the Smokies.

Since I have a CUA (commercial use authorization) permit from the National Park Service allowing me to photograph wedding and portraits within the Park boundaries, I suggested we go into Cades Cove for their portraits. They loved the idea!

Sparks Lane in Cades Cove makes a beautiful backdrop for a portrait of this lovely couple!

The rustic feel of the old buildings in Cades Cove adds texture to these headshots.

The Great Smoky Mountains behind you and love beside you…what more could a newly wed couple ask for?

Thanks to both of you for trusting me to photograph your special time in Cades Cove!
