Emma and Nolan’s wedding day at Hope Hills Wedding Venue in Cleveland, Tennessee was the perfect mix of heartfelt moments, joyful color, and scenic East Tennessee beauty. As a Cleveland, TN wedding photographer, getting to capture a wedding at a brand new venue like Hope Hills was especially exciting. With rolling hills, mountain views, and a celebration centered around family and love, their day was one I won’t soon forget.
Hope Hills Wedding Venue is one of the newest wedding venues in Cleveland, TN, and it offers everything couples love about an East Tennessee wedding location. The ceremony takes place under a spacious outdoor pavilion overlooking rolling hills and sweeping mountain views, creating a peaceful and romantic setting that feels timeless and natural. Just steps away is a beautifully designed barn-style reception space featuring large roll-up windows that let in incredible natural light while still offering the charm of a classic Tennessee barn wedding.
One of the standout features of Hope Hills is the bridal suite attached directly to the ceremony pavilion, making the wedding day flow seamlessly from getting ready to “I do.” Behind the ceremony space, you’ll find beautiful wooded areas that provide stunning backdrops for portraits.

Emma and Nolan chose a wedding palette that perfectly reflected their personalities: bright florals in pinks, lavenders, yellows, light blue, and soft pops of orange. The result was a cheerful, uplifting aesthetic that felt fresh and joyful from start to finish. Every detail of the day felt intentional, from the florals to the decor, with family members coming together to help bring their vision to life. It truly felt like a celebration rooted in love, community, and togetherness.
As a former teacher, this wedding was especially meaningful for me. I had the privilege of teaching both Emma and her sister years ago, and getting to photograph Emma’s wedding day was a full-circle moment. Seeing her step into this next season of life as such a confident, beautiful woman was incredibly special.
Emma and Nolan’s love story began in a college dorm through mutual friends, followed by a DM that eventually turned into something much bigger. Nolan proposed during what Emma thought was a beach photo session, complete with a heart in the sand and a message in a bottle. A moment that was equal parts romantic and unforgettable.
Together, they truly are best friends. Whether they’re playing pickleball, biking on e-bikes, cooking together, or laughing through everyday moments, their connection is effortless. That joy carried through every part of their wedding day. Their constant laughter, genuine happiness, and ease with one another made photographing their wedding at Hope Hills Wedding Venue an absolute dream.
