Cades Cove Wedding at Primitive Baptist Church in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Primitive Baptist Church Wedding in The Great Smoky Mountains

This intimate Primitive Baptist Church wedding in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park is all about one thing. It was about merging the past with the present to create a better future. You see, this is a second marriage for both Brittany and Joel. They are both two kind souls who found each other through heartbreak. And I can say without a shadow of a doubt that they are better together than apart.

Our day in the Smokies started out with a whole lot of rain, but the weather gave way to overcast clouds. The clouds blanketed the national park and gave us a soft, intimate feel. Looking beautiful in her dress from White Lace and Promises and bouquet from Lisa Foster Floral Design, Brittany and Joel made the winding trip down Primitive Baptist Church to their wedding. Their guests greeted them inside the historic church for their vows. There, they pledged their love to each other. They also pledged their love to all their children as well.

Primitive Baptist Church

Adventure down the road of Cades Cove Loop Road, and you will find Primitive Baptist Church. Established in 1827, it was one of three churches established in Cades Cove. Built by hand by the congregation, you can see handprints in sap on the wood-planked ceiling and walls. Prior to the construction of the church, congregants met in a log home structure for nearly sixty years. The simplistic structure is perfect for any intimate wedding or elopement.
