When Laura + Austin first told me about their plans for a beautiful mountain wedding in northeastern Tennessee, I was so excited. Just by looking at their venue online, I knew it was going to be incredible. But let me tell you… their website doesn’t do this property any justice. My jaw dropped as we pulled up to this beautiful stone venue and as I walked through the gates into the main area, the views just took my breath away.
Chateau Selah is a pure slice of heaven located about 20 minutes outside of Johnson City, Tennessee. With sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and room to sleep up to 18+, this is the perfect spot for couples who want to stay on-site and enjoy a relaxed wedding weekend away from it all with their friends + family.
Although storms threatened the area throughout the day, it only actually rained once for about 10 minutes right after their First Look – and the overcast skies gave us the most perfect light for all of their photos! I still can’t get over the colors – the gorgeous pops of green + blue in the mountains were just insane. It felt like a painting!
After a sweet ceremony overlooking the mountains, Laura + Austin spent the night celebrating with their closest friends and family. It was such an amazing day… and I already can’t wait to go back to Chateau Selah in the future! I hope to shoot many weddings at this special venue. Congratulations you guys and THANK YOU for allowing me to capture this special day for you + your families!!

From the moment I first spoke to Sandra, I knew her wedding day was going to be something special. She had a clear vision of a day filled with special details, personalized moments, and a celebration of love that was truly unique to her and Matt’s love story. Being in the fashion world, I knew […]
There’s something undeniably magical about Charleston SC. The cobblestone alleyways, the historic charm, and the gentle breeze off of the water – which creates the perfect setting for love to flourish. When I had the opportunity to capture Hannah + Ashley’s engagement session on an overcast day this past September, I knew it would be […]
Hilton Head is a special place to Abby + Greyson, as Abby’s parents live there and she’s been visiting the area for years. I always love how the magic of Hilton Head and Sea Pines brings families together on such an incredible day. This September wedding day at Sea Pines started off with torrential rain […]
Somehow, it’s already February and I just realized that I haven’t posted my year-end recap from 2024. Yikes! Better late than never, I suppose! If I’m being totally honest and transparent, 2024 was a difficult year for me + my mindset. Self-doubt, not knowing where I “fit in”, feeling jealousy of other photographers, and not […]
