Artistic Wedding and Portrait Photographer Rick King

So here’s the story…

Bluff Mountain Inn is a beautiful 5 acre mountain estate where we live and work by hosting all inclusive weddings and receptions, private parties and all sorts of celebrations.

Our professional photography is a major part of the Bluff Mountain Inn experience. We love the art of photography, are members of the Professional Photographers of America, and constantly attend conferences and seminars where we learn the latest techniques and share experiences with fellow photographers.

Our goal is to give you not only a beautiful set of photos that document your event, but to provide you with pieces of art to display in your home.

Take a look down the page to see a long list of our events here at the inn as well as some insight into who we are and what we do.

Thanks for stopping by. We hope you enjoy your visit and come back often.

Charleston

08*23*2010 Posted in Artistic photography * Location Photography * Personal Projects

We took a little break last week and drove over to Charleston SC to enjoy the beauty of this historic city, the breeze from the ocean and just a little down time.

It was really hot and muggy, hence the soft focus look in a few of these images. It was because the lens fogged immediately when we walked outdoors, so I just used it for a cool effect rather than try to fight it.

If you ever get over there I highly recommend taking a walking photo tour. We learned a lot about the history and found some fun “off the beaten path” places to shoot. Here are some of my favorites from the trip.

If you’re interested in an Engagement Session or some fun family shots, let’s take a little trip over to the beach!!!

Kathy Claire Looking Good!

I doubt my beautiful cousin ever had her sights set on a modeling career, but that talent sure came to the surface last week when she visited us here in the mountains. We just had a blast doing this shoot…

Mary Lee and Dave’s Wedding

08*07*2010 Posted in Location Photography * Weddings * mountain wedding

Mary Lee called me a few months ago asking if I could photograph her wedding at Eight Gables Inn, Gatlinburg. It was a small wedding with just a few family members and friends, but what a nice group of folks. These two folks getting together later in life reminded me of my Mom, after my Dad passed away, finding a guy named Guy and spending many happy years together. They laughed and smiled every day, just like I saw ML & Dave doing. If they only share half the happiness that Mom and Guy found they’ll have a wonderful life together. I wish them that happiness and more.

I’m so happy that Mary Lee knew that she wanted this day documented and was willing to trust me to get the memories in the camera which will last for many years to come. I think she’ll be happy with them…

I’d also like to thank the nice people at Eight Gables Inn for sending Mary Lee and Dave my way. We always appreciate referrals!

Sara and Al Back for More!

07*28*2010 Posted in Artistic photography * Bridal Portraits * Slide Shows * Wedding Receptions * Weddings * mountain wedding

If these folks look familiar it’s because they were just here for their engagement session. Good news is they were just as much fun, if not more so, the second time around!

Sara is so artistic. She had all sorts of ideas for signs and treats for the guests, then made most of it herself.

These folks and their families are some of our favorites this year. Maybe they’ll come back for a 1st anniversary session… we’d love that.
