If you're in the midst of planning your big day, one of the first (and biggest) decisions you’ll make is choosing your venue. As a Tennessee wedding photographer, I’ve had the opportunity to document weddings at some truly beautiful venues throughout the state—and I’m sharing a few of my favorites here.

Whether you're drawn to a rustic tree farm, a historic Knoxville mansion, or a vineyard tucked in the mountains, these are all locations I’ve personally photographed weddings at, so you can get real insight from a photographer’s perspective.

Bonus: If your venue isn’t listed yet and you book me, I’ll waive your travel fee as long as it’s within Tennessee or a reasonable drive from Knoxville. I love exploring new venues with my couples and creating something truly unique together.
