A Whimsical Snooper’s Rock Elopement & Downtown Chattanooga Celebration

Alexis & Tyler’s Mountain View Ceremony + Turnbull Building Reception

As a Chattanooga elopement videographer, I get to document love stories in some of the most stunning places in the Southeast—and Snooper’s Rock might be one of the most magical. Perched high above the Tennessee River, this panoramic overlook at the edge of Prentice Cooper State Park offers breathtaking views, rustic trails, and a peaceful escape into nature.

Alexis and Tyler chose this serene setting for their intimate elopement, surrounded by their closest family members and two beloved dogs. With the spring wildflowers in bloom and crisp mountain air all around, the couple shared heartfelt personal vows on the bluff’s edge—framed by blue skies and endless views of the gorge below.

In true Kentucky wedding fashion, the couple honored the buried bourbon tradition—digging up a bottle they had hidden before the big day, a Southern folklore ritual meant to ensure good weather. And it worked! With not a cloud in the sky and sunlight spilling over the cliffs, it was the perfect spring day for an outdoor mountain elopement.

After their ceremony, Alexis and Tyler celebrated with a Miller High Life toast and shared a sweet cheers with their dogs. These little joyful moments captured their fun-loving spirit so well not just with each other, but to the people that celebrated with them!

Later that evening, the couple welcomed friends downtown for a relaxed reception at The Turnbull Building, one of the most iconic vintage wedding venues in downtown Chattanooga. The space was filled with laughter, music, and personal touches—from a taco bar by Taqueria Jalisco to bourbon selections curated from elite Kentucky distillers.

Alexis and Tyler shared dinner and heartfelt speeches with loved ones before dancing the night away to the high-energy performance of the Even Odds Band. The vibe was fun, genuine, and full of love—exactly what you hope for in a wedding celebration.

From mountaintop vows to rooftop toasts, this day was a dream to capture. Alexis and Tyler created a wedding experience that reflected their personalities, honored their roots, and centered on what mattered most: love, laughter, and good bourbon.
