When my roommate told me he was filming a wedding in the Smoky Mountains, I jumped at the chance to tag along as his assistant. It’s been over 7 years since I’ve been to the Smokies, and I’ve been dying to get back.
We stayed at a stunning resort just outside of the national park. It featured a gazebo with a spectacular view of the valley, and a nice chapel for hosting the wedding ceremony.
The clouds rolling through the hills are so cool to look at, especially from a higher vantage point!
Yes it’s true, I tease tourists all the time for freaking out over ordinary deer. But a visit to Cade’s Cove and a telephoto lens allowed me the opportunity to get some great images of these normally ordinary animals.
We couldn’t spend a morning in a foggy valley without a few portraits…
My roommate was trying out his new drone helicopter for the first time. We had an absolute blast flying it around for the weekend, especially at Cade’s Cove. There’s definitely a learning curve when it comes to flying the drone and learning how to take great aerial images. I think I’ll be buying my own drone soon!
Thanks for checking out my new photo blog. I plan to keep posting photos from my trips and any other interesting things I photograph around Nashville.
