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 Sarah+Taylor’s ceremony (or even Natalie+Allie’s). This spot is big enough to hold a few guests, or as Laura+Greg did above, just themselves and the pastor.
Cloudland Canyon
Lookout Mountain – a Georgia state park, Cloudland Canyon has easy hiking trails and great spots for a small elopement. Adam+Jordan’s weekday fall ceremony had the most gorgeous leaf color and clear skies.
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 ceremony.
Glenn Falls Trail
Lookout Mountain – while this is not an overlook, it is an incredible trail on the side of Lookout Mountain. It’s lush, green, and has a gorgeous waterfall, perfect for your small wedding or ceremony.
Falling Water Falls
Signal Mountain – a not as well known hiking trail, Falling Water Falls offers both views and waterfalls. Sessions we’ve loved here: Spencer+Leah’s engagement, Ala+Jack’s sunrise wedding.
