Adventure Elopement in Rock Island, Tennessee
Maria & Candido
When Maria and Candido told us they wanted an adventure elopement in Tennessee with a gorgeous waterfall and their dog, we were beyond excited. Right away, we knew Rock Island State Park would be the perfect spot for them—it’s stunning, full of adventure, and so magical for a day like this.
Their day started at the cutest little cabin just 20 minutes from the waterfall. They got ready there, shared a super sweet first look, and exchanged private letters. Watching them read those letters to each other was such a special moment—it was emotional, heartfelt, and full of love (even their pup looked touched!).
From there, we headed to the waterfall, and it did not disappoint! With the sound of rushing water in the background, Maria and Candido exchanged their rings. It felt like something out of a dream. After the ceremony, they celebrated by popping champagne, and we spent some time exploring the area for photos. The scenery at Rock Island is seriously unreal—it’s perfect for adventurous couples who want to make their day truly unforgettable.
After soaking up the waterfall vibes, we made our way back to their cabin to wrap up the day. They cut the cutest (and yummiest!) cake, signed their marriage license, and just enjoyed being in the moment. It was such a relaxed and fun way to end their elopement adventure.
Looking back at their photos, we can’t help but smile—this day was filled with so much joy, love, and a bit of adventure. If you’re dreaming about an adventurous elopement in Tennessee, Rock Island should absolutely be on your list. It’s the perfect mix of beautiful scenery and peaceful vibes.
