in my opinion, there aren’t many better ways to spend the day than in the mountains. when tiera reached out to me about documenting a morning during her and chris’ anniversary trip to the smokies, i knew exactly where to take them. we packed blankets and snacks and planned to spend the day around the great smoky mountain national park but when the forecast switched on us last second, we decided to stick to cades cove. we drove around listening to music, sharing about their life in louisiana, and my favorite spots around the mountain. and in between rain spells, they wandered through the fields and forests, and danced and laughed beneath the trees. they embraced the weather and were absolute troopers and i just love so many of these images. so here are some of my favorite moments of tiera + chris on a rainy morning in the smoky mountains.
