Elopements and mountain ceremonies

Gatlinburg & Smoky Mountains Wedding Videographer

The Smokies draw a lot of elopements and very small weddings, which is a different job from a 200-guest Saturday — fewer moving parts, far less margin for error, and every single moment has to count. We shoot those as one continuous story rather than a highlight reel.

Questions couples ask

Do you film elopements and very small weddings?
Yes. With a handful of guests there's no filler to cut around, so every moment has to earn its place — we shoot those as one continuous story.
Can you film a sunrise ceremony in the Smokies?
Yes, and they're worth it. It means a very early start and a scout the day before, which we'd build into the plan.
How much does a wedding videographer cost in Tennessee?
Our collections start at $4,500. What a wedding actually costs depends on how many hours you want covered and whether you want a second shooter — tell us your date and we'll send real numbers rather than a brochure.
What is your filming style?
Documentary. We don't direct and we don't manufacture moments — we embed in the day and record it as it actually happens, then cut it so it still feels like that day in thirty years.
How far in advance should we book?
We're currently booking select 2027 weddings. Popular dates go early, so inquire to check whether yours is open.
Do you work alone or with a team?
Eli leads a team of documentary wedding filmmakers, so coverage can scale to the day — single shooter through to multiple cameras across getting ready, ceremony and reception.
