Nicole & Shawn Polley | A Beautiful Magnolia Venue Wedding in Sevierville, TN

Nicole and Shawn’s November 14 wedding at The Magnolia Venue in Sevierville, Tennessee, was everything a couple could dream of—elegant, intentional, joy-filled, and rooted in family. With the backdrop of the Smoky Mountains and the stunning views this venue offers, their day was a perfect blend of love, laughter, and legacy.

Their love story is one for the ages. After a chance meeting just two months before Nicole was set to return home to New Jersey, what could have been a fleeting moment became a life-changing connection. That single “yes” to a date turned into an incredible journey of faith, friendship, and unconditional love.

From the very beginning, Nicole and Shawn made their relationship about more than just the two of them. They built it on the firm foundation of Christ and have continued to strengthen their bond through grace, prayer, and a shared commitment to doing life together as one. Their wedding day reflected that beautifully.

Nicole chose rich green tones for her fall wedding, which perfectly complemented the season and the natural landscape surrounding the venue. Every detail—from the florals to the mountainside ceremony—felt authentic and full of heart. The weather was incredible, with mid-November offering the most beautiful skies and crisp air.

Their closest friends and family surrounded them, cheering them on with heartfelt toasts, joyful tears, and full-on laughter. The children had a blast running around and dancing, and we had the opportunity to explore the gorgeous venue with this sweet couple for photos they’ll treasure forever.

And on a personal note—these two have become true friends. We were welcomed not just as photographers but as guests and part of the celebration. The connection was genuine, the laughs were constant, and the peace they carried throughout the day reminded us why we love capturing wedding stories so much.

Nicole and Shawn, thank you for letting us walk this journey with you. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for your beautiful marriage. Enjoy this sneak peek of your unforgettable Magnolia Venue wedding!

Mr. and Mrs. Polley, you are something special! Enjoy your sneak peek! We love you!
