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...

We absolutely adored working with Joe and Kathleen for our engagement photos and wedding in March…read moreof this year! They are such a great team and clearly love what they do, putting everyone at ease and capturing absolutely amazing shots. They are so personable and truly care about the people they work with. Even on our cold, cloudy wedding day, they somehow managed to make the photos turn out so beautifully and had them back to us in just a couple of weeks. They were the first of all the wedding vendors/coordinators we worked with who actually broke down the day with what would be happening at each minute, which really put us at ease going into it because we knew exactly what to expect. I would recommend them to anyone who needs photography services, and will definitely work with them in the future if we need pictures taken at any point!

Ray & I married at Bluff Mountain Inn and decided to add on an extra photo session after reviewing…read morethe quality of photographs on the Bluff Mountain website. Well, to back up a bit, I researched high and low for a memorable, intimate venue but the photographs are what sold us. So happy I called a few weeks after booking the location to see if we could add the extra session the day before our wedding. Not only was the photographer flexible and available, but affordable. Score!! Rick is a photographer with the venue who took our pictures both the day before and at our wedding. Rick and the quality of the pictures he took really lived up to (and exceed) our expectations, could not have asked for a better experience. We thought at best, we'd get a handful of pictures for the price at a single location. However to our surprise, Rick had the afternoon free and it was a gorgeous day, he asked us if we were free to check out another location and we enthusiastically said yes! Granted nearly everywhere you look is an exceptional, scenic Kodak moment, but I don't believe our pictures could've been captured better by anyone else. The rest of the trip Ray and I took a lot of pictures of several beautiful areas within and around the state park. But as you can guess, they look nothing like the ones Rick took :) Rick's blew us away on both days. We never looked better and Mother Nature could not have been captured more beautifully. We got some amazing pictures with the Smoky's behind us, in the state park, on a bridge, in a creek, in front of old abandoned houses, just to name a few. Being a resident of the area, it became apparent quickly Rick knew all the great spots at the right time of day. It was truly a most special day and we couldn't be more thankful to have the pictures to cherish. Thank you!
