Marblegate Farm Engagement Smoky Mountain Event Venue - Ashton + PJ
Marblegate Farm Engagement — Ashton + PJ
This engagement session was featured on Amber & Muse, a national wedding publication highlighting refined, editorial photography.
Playful and endearing are the words we would use to describe Ashton and PJ’s Marblegate Farm engagement session in Friendsville, Tennessee. Located just outside Knoxville, Marblegate Farm is a waterfront venue known for its rolling fields, historic marble shoreline, and beautifully manicured landscapes, making it ideal for Smoky Mountain engagement photography that feels natural, editorial, and timeless.
Despite being long-distance while PJ teaches in Ecuador, this sweet couple has made it work with ease and intention. You may recognize Ashton from our bohemian bridal session in Cades Cove — that’s how we first met her. In a setting that will also be the site of their wedding, we focused on connection, movement, and soft lakeside light to capture what feels most true to Ashton and PJ.
We often photograph engagement sessions for couples traveling from out of state, and Marblegate Farm continues to be one of our favorite venues for couples who want imagery that feels elegant, natural, and emotionally driven.
Enjoy this beautiful couple and one of East Tennessee’s most scenic engagement locations.
