Maryville is unique because unlike Knoxville it is a lot smaller in scale with wedding venues spread far apart from each other. With venues being so far apart and Maryville itself, being open and spacious, there are usually great nearby photo locations such as parks. A great example of this is the Capitol Theatre, which is situated in close proximity to a large park.

Some of our favorite wedding photographs have been created here in Maryville, TN, and if you look closely when viewing our wedding photography portfolio, you can spot several photographs taken in Maryville. Throughout your wedding day, we will capture a perfect mix of creative cinematic photos, candid photos, formal family photos, and detail photos. Before your wedding, we highly recommend an engagement session, so make sure to view our engagement photography portfolio.

In addition to photographing weddings in Maryville, we also have plenty of experience photographing engagement sessions here as well. Downtown Maryville provides a variety of unique locations for your engagement session. If you are planning an engagement session, some ideal locations nearby in Maryville include the Maryville College Woods, which is ideal for intimate photos without crowds and is perfect during the fall weather when the leaves glow.

Sandy Springs park is a great location for an engagement session during sunset, the entire park is covered with a beautiful golden glow at sunset. We do recommend going off the trail somewhat as the walking trail is usually busy with runners and walkers. Bicentennial Park is great and provides more secluded areas as it is larger, it also features a large pond. This park is somewhat hilly, so if you are planning your engagement session here, we recommend a good pair of walking shoes.

Out of these 3 locations, if there is only 1 that we could choose, it would be Sandy Springs Park, because you absolutely cannot beat the golden hour light, and when it comes to dealing with the walkers and runners, any experienced wedding photographer should have no problem working around small distractions such as that.

Travel is included complimentary for all Maryville weddings and we are very familiar with most parts of Maryville. Our wedding pricing is very reasonable for a professional Maryville wedding photographer. We are not the cheapest, but when it comes to your wedding, the last thing you should cut corners on is your wedding photography.
