Piney Flats, TN Engagement Photographer | Anna & Garrett’s Golden Hour Session in the Tri-Cities

As a wedding and engagement photographer serving Piney Flats, Kingsport, Johnson City, Bristol TN, Asheville NC, and Knoxville TN, I always tell my couples, sometimes the best sessions are worth the wait. Anna and Garrett’s engagement session is the perfect example!

We had to reschedule their session three different times due to rain (hello, unpredictable Tennessee weather!), but when the day finally arrived, we were gifted with the most beautiful golden hour light. If you’ve been following along on Instagram, you already know how much I love shooting during sunset. That warm, glowing sunlight adds a romantic, timeless feel that makes engagement photos truly unforgettable—and this session was full of it.

Anna and Garrett chose a location that made their session even more meaningful: Garrett’s parents’ home in Piney Flats, TN. As a Tri-Cities TN engagement photographer, I always encourage couples to pick locations that are personal and sentimental. Whether it’s a family property, a favorite hiking spot near Asheville, or a quiet field in Kingsport or Johnson City, these places tell your story in a way no generic location ever could.

This session had everything I love, genuine laughter, sweet moments, and that dreamy East Tennessee sunshine peeking through the trees. Anna and Garrett are such a fun, easygoing couple, and their connection made my job effortless. You can truly see how much they enjoy being together in every single photo.

If you’re looking for a Piney Flats TN engagement photographer or planning your wedding in the Tri-Cities, Knoxville, or Asheville areas, I’d love to help you create photos that feel just as natural, warm, and meaningful as these.
