About this vendor

Lowkey. Romantic. Just like you.

Big weddings aren’t for everyone, and that’s okay. If you’re dreaming of a laid-back, stress-free wedding day surrounded by nature, you’ve found your people.

At Smoky Mountain Elopement Company, we’re more than just officiants and photographers — we’re your one-stop team for adventure elopements across Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, including Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Gatlinburg, and beyond.

We plan intimate celebrations for 30 guests or fewer, taking care of every detail so you can simply show up and soak in the moment. From finding the perfect mountain overlook to providing your bouquet, cake, and ceremony, we make it easy to have a wedding that feels personal, beautiful, and completely you.

Let us help you create a day that’s effortless, meaningful, and as unforgettable as the views.

Incredible experience

The value for the money was WELL worth it. My husband and I knew we didn't want a big to do for our wedding. Just something that was for us and that is exactly what we got, and more. Not only did all of our photos turn out stunning, the ceremony was perfect, AND we had the absolute best time! From the moment of response from Sarah at Smokey Mountain Elopement Company, she felt like an old friend. She helped my now husband and I with posing when we had no idea what we should be doing and she did it in a effortless way. We had our engagement photos done by someone else and effortless is not the experience we had with that photographer so it was so refreshing to have such an experience for our wedding day. HIGHLY recommend!

Magical!!!

Smoky Mountain Elopement Company is amazing. If you are looking for a non-traditional wedding adventure, look no further. The creativity and attention to detail makes this a magical experience. If you can dream it, they can make it a reality. Truly lovely.

Book them NOW!!

We could not be happier with our experience working with Sarah Dooley Photography for our wedding (and engagement session)! Sarah, Brad, and intern Eleanor were professional, kind, hilarious, and incredibly easy to work with. Their positive attitudes and organization made the experience so enjoyable, even in the most chaotic moments of our special day.
They blended into the background seamlessly, while still managing to capture every special moment.
The photos are absolutely stunning, and they managed to perfectly capture the personalities of us and our guests. We have looked through the (HUGE!!) photo gallery over and over and can't narrow down our favorites, so will be having all printed.
We would recommend them a thousand times over!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
