Snooper’s Rock
Located at Prentice Cooper Nature Reserve and the perfect place for sunrise ceremonies. You get amazing views of the TN river as it bends around the plateau. Depending on the weather, you may end up feeling like you’re above the clouds like for Jordan+Logan’s sunrise ceremony. This spot is big enough to include a few guests, or as Laura+Greg or Alisha+Casey did, just themselves and the pastor.
Sunset Rock
Lookout Mountain – with gorgeous views of the Tennessee Valley and downtown Chattanooga, this is one of the most popular views for residents and tourists. It can be a bit busy, so this would be better for a middle of the week elopement ceremony. We do several engagement sessions a year here, but it would be great for an elopement. Be sure to check out Emily+Will’s session, too, for the incredible shots like above.
Cloudland Canyon
Lookout Mountain – a Georgia state park, Cloudland Canyon has easy hiking trails and great spots for a small elopement. Alex+John’s weekday fall ceremony had the most gorgeous leaf color and clear skies. You can even hike down to the base of the iconic waterfall for post-ceremony pictures.
Coolidge Park
Downtown Chattanooga – inside a city park, this location boasts the backdrop of the Chattanooga skyline and famous bridges. Easy to get to, accessible, and plenty of parking make it easy to see why we shoot so many engagements and a few weddings here.
Falling Water Falls
Signal Mountain – a not as well known hiking trail, Falling Water Falls offers both views and waterfalls. Check out Spencer+Leah’s engagement session with their dog.
