Incredible Spring Wedding Photos at Chateau Selah

Incredible Wedding Photos at Chateau Selah in Johnson City, Tennessee

Have you ever wondered what the PERFECT spring wedding at Chateau Selah would look like? Well, here it is! (Did I mention that there are puppies involved?!)

I have always loved Chateau Selah for weddings! It’s this stunning event venue with panoramic views atop one of the many hills in East Tennessee. It’s absolutely impossible to take a bad image there with the scenic landscape and stacked stone exteriors. Not to mention there is a GORGEOUS bridal suite with picture perfect windows for those elegant getting ready shots! Also, and most importantly, there is this incredible staircase that makes for iconic bridal portraits!

A few months ago I was lucky to meet Hannah, the owner of Blue Willow Bridal in Johnson City. We immediately started planning a luxury editorial shoot and we knew it HAD to be at the most gorgeous venue around…Chateau Selah! After several weeks of intense planning and preparations, we were able to pull together this fun wedding editorial shoot!

We also reached out to the Washington County Animal Shelter to see if we could help them out as well! We really wanted to provide some “dating profile” photos for the animals at the best venue around, Chateau Selah, and they were totally up for it! We were completely enamored with the four black lab puppies they brought AND the adorbs litter of kittens that tagged along!

We also had stunning bouquets by the Best Florist in Johnson City–Blossom & Bloom Design!

I truly cannot express how thankful I am for each of the very talented individuals who came out to help pull together this fun “Wedding at Chateau Selah.” I can’t wait to head back photograph more weddings to this gorgeous venue! In the meantime, check out a few of my favorites from the Chateau Selah wedding shoot!

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.

Wanna know what you need for                        
detail photos?

unforgettable

In the hundreds of weddings I’ve photographed, I’ve created as many different flat lays as you can imagine. And so I’ve curated a complete list of must-have items for you to gather so your detail photos are even more special. For the free list, enter your email below:
