Pleasant Hill Vineyards Wedding || Alex and Brett || Maryville, TN

The Venue

Pleasant Hill Vineyards is a historic farm in East Tennessee. This wedding venue is surrounded by gardens and vineyards nestled in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. The views from the farm are spectacular, mountains and farmland as far as the eye can see. Pleasant Hill Vineyards is just five minutes from Maryville, TN and thirty minutes from Knoxville, TN which is very convenient for couples and their guests. My favorite part of the venue is the upstairs of the barn. As you can see from the photo above, it is very unique!

The Couple

Alex and Brett have been so fun to work with. From the time I met them, to their engagement session and their wedding they have been so easy to work with. For me, couples who laugh a lot are always a good sign to me that they are the perfect fit for me. Brett has cracked me up every time we have hung out. Alex is a little quieter (not a shocker for anyone who knows them). I have loved working with them both though.

My Favorite Part

Most weddings there are at least on part of the day that is my favorite. Sometimes it is hard to narrow down my favorite part. My favorite part of this Pleasant Hill Vineyards wedding was Brett’s dad attending the wedding. When they first booked Brett had told me about some things that were going on with her dad’s health. We talked about the possibilities of what if he was not able to attend the wedding. I ensured her we would make a photo happen with her and her dad, even if we had to go to her parent’s house.

We wouldn’t know until the wedding day what would happen, so I prayed. Being a daddies girl myself and having a simular story, I understood the importance of this moment. The wedding day came and her father was able to attend. I could hardly take the photo because I was crying too much myself. It will forever be a favorite moment and photo of mine.
