Big news! What used to be known as Project X-T3 has officially rebranded to Smoky Mountain Wedding Co.
If you’ve been following our journey, you know that we’ve always been passionate about capturing unforgettable wedding moments in the Smoky Mountains. But over time, we realized we wanted to do more than just photography — we wanted to offer a complete, seamless wedding experience for couples planning their special day in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and beyond.
This blog explains:
• Why we rebranded
• What Smoky Mountain Wedding Co. now offers
• How this benefits you as a couple
• Why the Smoky Mountains are the perfect backdrop for your wedding

Why We Rebranded
Originally, Project X-T3 reflected a focus on photography, inspired by my Fuji X-T3 camera. But over the years, couples have been asking for more than just pictures. They want:
• A licensed officiant who can legally marry them in Tennessee
• A wedding coordinator to handle logistics, timelines, and vendors
• Unique touches for their ceremony, like pigeon releases
• Guidance on destination wedding planning in the Smoky Mountains
Project X-T3 no longer fully represented the full-service wedding experience we provide.
Smoky Mountain Wedding Co. reflects who we are today:
• Experts in the Smoky Mountains wedding market
• A team (or single point of contact) you can trust for ceremony, coordination, and photography
• A company committed to making your wedding day stress-free, memorable, and magical
