Wedding and Elopement Packages in The Smoky Mountains National park, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Ely's Mill is a privately owned creekside property, tucked away in a quiet corner of Gatlinburg. Its location borders the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, so you get all of the natural beauty that the National Park has to offer in a private setting.
The Foothills Parkway is known to locals and visitors alike as "the prettiest drive in America". This particular overlook is one of the most popular spots in the Great Smoky Mountains for elopements. Just steps from parking, it's easily accessible but out of view from the road so much quieter than most of the other overlooks.
This beautiful log chapel seats up to 25, and has the warmth and charm of a small church. Soft, natural light illuminates the chapel through large stained glass windows. The Gatlinburg Chapel has private Bride and Groom changing rooms, restrooms, and is handicap accessible. There are several perfect photo opportunities both inside and out.
This beautiful waterfall is located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park less than 2 miles outside of Gatlinburg. It's a short, 250 meter walk on a flat, wide, easy trail. This is the perfect waterfall for your wedding because most other waterfalls in the Smokies require a hike of at least a mile to get to.

We were searching for a location and photographer and was highly recommended to New Beginnings by the Mill. I'm glad and grateful we chose them. We are out of state and communication and follow through was above my expectations. I definitely will call Eric again. Thank you Eric for the unforgettable memories and experience.

Taking pictures that either of us likes is difficult enough. But to take dozens that we both love, that's extraordinary! Amazing job. Thank you Eric.

We are from Wisconsin so being from out of state and only able to communicate via phone or email we were nervous, but we were totally put as ease once we met in person and everything went great. Very professional and friendly, great communication. Went above and beyond what we could ask for.

I can't say enough good things about Eric and New Beginnings Photography. Eric is professional and talented, yet warm and personable, making everyone comfortable. We had six children in the ceremony, ranging from 18 mos. to 6 yrs. He was amazing with them. He took such care with every shot and our photos are beyond beautiful. I absolutely recommend Eric.

My wife and I were married in Gatlinburg Tennessee, Eric was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. He is such a professional. I hope that if anyone in the area needs photography or wedding services that they contact him. He is very responsive and is there for you with all your needs. He made this day so easy for us. Eric we can't thank you enough for everything. The pictures are just amazing.

Eric was an amazing photographer for my fiance and me on the day we got engaged! Eric was super nice and agreed to meet me at Grotto Falls for a surprise engagement photo shoot, which turned out perfectly (I will add the hike was not really beginner's hike either so huge kudos to Eric for making the hike to meet us)! All of our photos came back quickly and we are really happy with how everything turned out. I would definitely recommend Eric to anyone in the area taking engagement / wedding photos in the future.
