Elopements are becoming very popular due to Covid-19, but before that Jessica and Austin wanted a private ceremony just them two, somewhere meaningful to them both and exchange vows. They would then at a later date have a ceremony and reception with family and friends. Jessica and Austin decided on Roan Mountain because of what the Appalachian Trail meant to them and it’s one of my favorite locations in the mountains to photograph. Never have I had an elopement here but it was stunning. To exchange vows here and the 360 views, it’s almost indescribable. I’ll forever be grateful to witness Jessica and Austin’s elopement at Roan Mountain.Â
