My husband and I are both a bit awkward in front of a camera, and I often am not crazy about how I look in photos, but Leah did an incredible job making us feel at ease, capturing beautiful memories and really documenting the joy of the day. She also recommended several other vendors and we hired many of them-- they were all great! Really our only complaint is that we've got so many great photos that narrowing down which to frame and put in a wedding album is a challenge! 100% would recommend Leah to other couples getting married in the Smokies or Knoxville area!

We have vacationed at Douglas Lake for almost 20 years, from western PA, so it was not a surprise…read morewhen my daughter informed us, she'd like her senior pictures taken there. We contacted Ben at Smokey Mountain. His demeanor won us over and we took a chance and booked a session. The chance paid off! We explained our tight schedule and desires to Ben and our location on the lake. Ben visited the marina our boat would be docked at different times of the day to scout the conditions and got back to us with the best time to meet for pics. We met at 7:30 am and it was obvious the advance work Ben had put in and it helped with the setup. He also listened to what my daughter wanted and incorporated those wishes into the session. They took pics on our boat, the dock, the marina and other spots. Through multiple locations, outfit changes and poses, Ben was a dream to work with for my daughter and us. His commitment to my daughter's pics was appreciated. We received the pictures within the timeframe Ben told us and the results were better than the session! There are so many "keepers", the pics exceeded all expectations! We'd recommend Smokey Mountain Portraits to anyone for any occasion. Thanks Ben and keep up the great work! The Newells

I was trying to find more information for a friend of mine who was going to be in the area and hasn't had family photos in a long time. I wasn't asking for anything out of the norm -- my friend and her family were visiting TN last week and I reached out a few days before they were leaving to inquire about availability, location option, and pricing. This would have been such a special moment for her and her family, but we weren't able to make it work due to the lack of response. I would have understood if it couldn't work due to timing, but we didn't have the opportunity to figure that out...

During the photo review being told prices have increased over last year and then seeing a jump from $430 last year to $899 this year is mind boggling.

The picture quality was good, but I feel the paper print is pretty generic like Walgreens quality. If they had an option of letting you choose better quality prints, rather than only glossy, like matte, luster, deep matte, metallic or fine art, I would have got the package deal. Overall, pretty cool for only an 8x10.

They also offered their photobooth service at a discounted combination rate. I LOVED their props. These are not typical props at all! Amish beard, cat mask, lightsabers. They were so much fun to work with. In other weddings we've attended, sometimes machines break down or they run out of paper (I know, what?!) But we didn't have any of these issues. Additionally, they sent us a super cute photo box with a USB of our photos and a lot of the print outs! One piece of advice I have for any couple is to have a mirror around, or ask your photographers to see yourself before the photos begin. Simply because my bangs didn't look as good as I wish they did. Oh well, the photos still turned out great and I loved the little details that made their photos even more romantic It was such a pleasure working with them and I would def recommend them to anyone. I hope our paths cross again one day! Love, Janny & Alex 10.19.19 Advice to brides: Think thoughtfully about how you want your wedding memorialized and explain it clearly to your vendors, preferably with pictures, examples.

We're pretty laid back and didn't have a lot of specifications about what we wanted and Justin was just so comfortable taking the lead. He made us feel at ease in front of the camera and captured so many beautiful candid moments of us and our guests. We had two 80 person ceremonies, a traditional Indian one and an American one. Both nights, Justin hustled to get every shot we didn't even know we wanted. His energy is so much fun to be around and all out guests made comments about how hard he worked and how friendly he is. Saying the pictures turned out beautiful is an understatement. They are more than we could have asked for. Going with Inner Song was absolutely the best decision we made!

We mainly did this for the experience- but this was sub par. We had to make an appt but yet had to wait. People were doing shoots on top of each other. You're able to pick your outfit but no direction on what to put on and how to put it on. We were there for almost an hour and a half. After all the images got edited they tried to sell us on an $800+ package. No way. The quality of the print we did get was super blurry. We've had a better experience at other places.
