Can you Imagine exchanging vows beneath a canopy of towering trees, beside a rushing mountain stream, or atop a scenic overlook with breathtaking views where the only thing that matters is the person standing next to you?
I can and I want to help you make your vision come to life!
Abby was so so wonderful in every aspect. She took the time to get to know both of us prior to our elopement so that she knew exactly what we wanted. We came from out of town which adds to the anxiety and has additional difficulties in terms of planning an elopement, but Abby helped ease the anxiety and made those difficulties that much easier. She went above and beyond, scoped out several potential wedding venues and sent pictures and videos for us to review. She was also very knowledgeable and able to provide recommendations for other vendors (dinner, flowers, hair/makeup). She even helped with applying for a permit in the national park. Her father was our officiant and was able to personalize our ceremony, which is exactly what we were looking for. Abby was a dream to work with & I would recommend her to anyone looking to have a wedding or elopement in the Smokies!
Testimonials
Abby is a wonderful photographer! She took our wedding and engagement photos. She did a fantastic job getting all the obligatory photos in a timely manner, which was a feat in itself with the large families we both have. She made us feel comfortable for our engagement photos, neither of us fond of being in front of the camera especially formally. She also captures real moments that remind you of all the special moments on the day. She is very sweet, easy to work with, and not afraid to shout to get people's attention when necessary! All of our pictures look wonderful!

Abby is AMAZING! She is so kind and so easy to work with! She was our photographer for our wedding and she killed it! Then we had her take photos at our first baby’s gender reveal party! And wow! Did she capture some incredible moments!!! We will be using her for many more life events in the future! We have her booked for my little sister’s wedding at the end of the year! And we can’t wait to see her awesome photos again!
Working with Abby was a dream! We talked about options for locations, outfits, and I showed her some of my favorite pictures from Pinterest. We are two people who often feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Abby made it feel easy and we spent most of our time giggling and cheesing while she captured our personality. 10/10 recommend A.E.D Photography!!!
Abby was our photographer for our wedding and she was amazing!! She showed up on time and was ready to go. Abby was super professional, kind, and knew all of the kinds of photos to take, we didn't even have to ask her. Abby offers great pricing for the hard work she puts in. I highly HIGHLY recommend her.
Not sure how to make this dream a reality?
You've come to the right place because This is For couples who would rather be immersed in nature than surrounded by crowds on their wedding day.
Eloping in a beautiful location offers the perfect blend of
intimacy,
adventure, and
authenticity.
Without the stress of a traditional wedding, you can focus on what truly matters—each other. A stunning backdrop, whether it's a mountaintop, a secluded beach, or a serene forest, adds a unique, personal touch to your vows, making the moment feel even more special. Plus, it’s a chance to create unforgettable memories in a place that speaks to your hearts, all while keeping your celebration simple, meaningful, and completely your own. That's exactly the reason my husband and I decided to elope in the Great Smoky Mountains!
