There is a first time for everything and I finally got to photograph a marriage proposal at the famed Troll Bridge in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park when Bo asked Elizabeth to join him for life!

During the Blackberry Winter of East Tennessee, two Floridians ventured north to the Foothills Parkway outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and sealed their love - here is Jose's marriage proposal to Daniela!

In this post about Travis and Natalie, learn a little Yiddish . . . no, really . . . as you see the effort that Travis will go to for his lady love!

Sometimes you have the good fortune to witness a marriage proposal that is absolutely flooded with the joy of the two people involved - really, the best word I can use for when Zac asked Markita to be his wife is that both were giddy with the excitement of starting their lives together. Read their story here!

The weather in the Smokies in the Spring is unpredictable. Zak wanted to have his marriage proposal to Margaret at Arch Rock along the Alum Cave Trail but snow and ice the night before closed US 441 and access to the trailhead. So we planned a different spot . . . until at the last minute, the road reopened! It was a cold and icy morning by the Arch but their love brought warmth and joy to the hikers that witnessed it!

The weather gave us a brief window between storms to have Robert propose to Caris - but sometimes windows can suddenly close. Fortunately, it was only temporary and Robert knelt, asked that timely question - and Caris said yes! Check out their story on the blog about their marriage proposal at Mouse Creek Falls in the Big creek section of the Smokies!
