Spring Tennessee Wedding in the Appalachian Mountains

Jordan + Nick

march 18th, 2023

I am truly speechless at just how incredible this day was for the new Mr. and Mrs. Staffieri!!! But first, let’s start with the night before! Jordan and Nick invited all of their guests to spend the weekend on property at Sugar Hollow Resort nestled in the Appalachian mountains outside of Johnson City, Tennessee. It was such an intimate venue with some of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen, and so special that everyone could be there for the weekend and spend lots of quality time together, which is exactly what this couple envisioned. It rained the entire time of the rehearsal, but that didn't stop this crew from having an incredible evening.

The skies cleared and made for the most perfect wedding day for these two! It was chilly but not too chilly, and the view of the mountains was just perfect compared to the cloud coverage from the night before. Their day began with a big wedding party breakfast all together at the lodge where the wedding party was staying. It was so sweet for Jordan + Nick to spend the morning together before going their separate ways to get ready.

After getting ready, they had their first look on the deck overlooking Lake Watatuga with the most breathtaking views. They exchanged the most intentional gifts— from Nick, a bible with Jordan’s new name monogrammed on the front and from Jordan— a series of almost 100 letters she wrote to Nick leading up to their wedding day. The ceremony was beautiful and the smiles that these two had on their faces after being pronounced husband and wife were priceless, seriously the most authentic joy!!!!!!

The ceremony transitioned into cocktail hour and then the most iconic reception dance floor! This crew did not stop allllll night long and it was SO. MUCH. FUN!!! Not only was the dance floor unreal, but after the sparkling exit these two drove away in their getaway car and headed to the lodge where they popped champagne and celebrated the ending of the most perfect day.

Needless to say, this day was amazing from beginning to end and I especially loved the way that everyone got to be together on this beautiful property for the weekend. Enjoy a snippet of their day below! Here’s to forever as Mr. and Mrs. Staffieri!!!!!!!
