If we had to do it over again 100% would use New Beginnings! Thank you so much for making it so easy and care free and fun! You took the worry out of the entire event!

Pandemic made us cancel, but he made the entire process easy and stress free!
My fiancé and I were planning a small outdoor ceremony in TN next week. Unfortunately, due to the current pandemic we were forced to cancel our wedding and travel plans. Eric has been amazing! He has answered EVERY question I had, and if he didn’t answer the phone as soon as I called him, then he would call me back within the hour. I have dealt with multiple small business owners recently in regards to my wedding, Eric was the ONLY one who offered a partial refund or to provide his service at a later date (which is not something he had to do, but wanted to do for his client). I am so grateful for his kindness and professionalism shown during this time. Will recommend to anyone who would like to elope to TN!

The perfect experience
Eric was great and made everything go smoothly! Our pictures turned out amazing and even though it rained and we had to move the ceremony to the church we still were able to get some amazing pictures outside. We had such a great experience all around, it was completely worth every penny spent. The minister was great as well!

Christmas eve
Eric is a phenomenal photographer! We wanted our wedding pictures with our hyper dog, the mountains in the background, on Christmas eve. Eric happily accommodated all of our requests. He captured extremely sharp pictures despite the dog moving non stop. I am impressed by how crisp the pictures came out. He also captured the mountain view in detail. The pictures of our special day are everything we were hoping for.

Amazing Experience
We couldn't have asked for a better team than, New Beginnings Photography. They were professional, on-time, and truly knew how to work with individuals like us who are NOT photogenic. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better overall experience. It was exactly what we wanted and so much more. The venue was gorgeous! and the photos turned out beautifully. The package included us, our guests (4), our dog (though we decided he could stay at our cabin instead, safety first), an officiant, venue, photographer, 1 hour of photos, 30 free digital images, and a discounted price on photo package.

The Best never to be forgotten
They were wonderful, we were worried about the flooding called them on Saturday evening expressing our concerns. And they assured us we would make the Sunday wedding happen. So helpful planning through the phone and email. I Highly Recommend New Beginnings Photography.

Stress free!
The photographer and Minister were great. While the actual ceremony was only 10-15 minutes anything and everything you would want covered during your vows was said. His anecdotes, choice of verses, and selections we were to repeat to one another fit us wonderfully. Eric was kindly patient with us both. We are not picture people. Selfies aren't part of our vocabulary and the predictable couple's photo at family functions usually ends up with us making faces at each other and goofing off. Eric talked us through the shots and soon the three of us were getting along like old friends. I honestly wasn't expecting much from our photos, not due to his skill but because of our not so photogenic ways. I was ecstatic when they came in. He managed to capture our joy in each photo.

Eric did an amazing job and took in every little detail. He was also punctual and easy to work with. The minister was probably the nicest guy we ever met. I felt like he genuinely cared about us and he was very easy to talk to. Everything was perfect.

Eric is professional, easy to work with, and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We thought the pictures and album turned out great and really captured the moment. Rev. Tom Orange was very personable and helpful during the ceremony by offering to mail our marriage license for us. The creek side setting was nice and the small waterfall added a nice touch to the photos. We have recommended New Beginnings to others we know that are planning on getting married.

Eric was great. He helped us set everything up and picked the perfect venue for us. It was exactly what we had been looking for. It was a beautiful fall day by the creek at Ely's Mill. The pictures were beautiful and a wonderful reminder of our special day. Eric arranged for Tom Orange to officiate. They both made us feel very comfortable and seem genuinely interested in us and our wishes. They were a joy to work with. We couldn't have been more pleased.

Cade’s Cove is an amazing ceremony site. Choosing an Elopement package from New Beginnings was the best wedding decision we made! It was an intimate, meaningful, magical experience. And the photos turned out amazing. We will cherish the memories for the rest of our lives!

New Beginnings Photography is a great option for those doing an elopement We did the Mountain View # 1 location on July 2 the location was amazing and so beautiful. Jim the minister did a great job and just made us feel so comfortable. Eric was excellent and our photos turned out more beautiful than we ever expected. Everything exceeded our expectations in pretty much every way and would recommend New Beginnings Photography to anyone.

The Minister was very friendly and the photographer was very helpful. We got married at the overlook in the Great Smoky Mountains National park and it was beautiful. As Eric mentioned we were in a public space and but everyone was respectful of the area we were utilizing. The personal website he creates once you book your wedding has a lot of good information. Very professional!

Eric just did our wedding. First the gentleman whom preformed the ceremony was great. Am sorry I can't remember is name. But he made us feel very comfortable. Loved that he gave us a copy of the vows for momentous. Eric was excellent, he took his time making sure that we were relaxed. We felt that he made sure he was getting great pictures. We have not seen them, since only had wedding 2 days ago. But know they will be great. The venue, Creek Side, was everything we hoped for. We highly recommend Eric to anyone.
Eric we want to thank you again for everything. Your package made for a simple process since we were coming from out of town, but your professionalism and care made it extra special.

Eric was fantastic. Our location was even more spectacular than we could have imagined. Choosing a photographer and location without meeting in person can be nerve wracking but you will not be disappointed with Eric. Our families were impressed with how easy going Eric was and he made everyone so relaxed. Our pictures were beautiful, the officiant was great, & our location was so perfect. The price was more than reasonable for everything we received.

We made the right choice having Eric be our photographer. He was on time, professional, came directly to our cabin and then went with us to a mountain view site - at each place his photographs captured everything we wanted. The picture quality is amazing, and the photo album that he put together for us is top notch. My wife and I are happy with every aspect of the services Eric provided, we cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the Smokies!

We would not have changed a thing about what we planned and how it turned out. We planned a Labor Day wedding and expected to deal with crowds, and that was the only thing that was less than ideal. We appreciate the service and end result of our day tremendously. Thanks so much for your patience, time, and professionalism. We will never forget our day and you guys helped make it so.
