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!

She's one of the few photographers licensed to work there so that was extra helpful! Our session was just a few hours long and she was very flexible about timing and our needs. We skyped out all the details beforehand and that was a relief. I'm not particularly comfortable being photographed but she made it feel more natural than I was expecting. Our photos are beautiful. We are very pleased.

Family Pastor was able to get in touch with us on April 20, 2 days after paying the deposit. When called to let him now we wouldn't be needing him, was informed we would not get our deposit back. No refunds within 30 days of the ceremony. Meaning it didnt matter we had just booked 2 days ago, because we booked 26 days before the wedding, meant he would and did keep the entire deposit. Thanks Jim. With a small budget, paying for the wedding ourselves, we really could have used that money elsewhere.

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.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would..... This business operates in an incredibly…read moredeceptive way. We specifically asked about pricing before booking and were told it would be $60 for six people. Naturally, we assumed that was true.... What they conveniently fail to explain upfront is that the $60 is only the "sitting fee" and we were never told until after our photos were taken that the pictures themselves would be an additional cost. The actual shoot was fine, but after that they made us wait over an hour and a half after the session just to receive our photos and check out. We were taken into a small room and the employee showed us a slideshow with packages starting at $500 minimum. For quick funny vacation family photos, those prices are beyond ridiculous. These are not luxury portraits or wedding photos so why are they charging as such?? What's worse is that there were no affordable digital options available either. Instead, the cheapest photo option is $47 per individual print before fees and taxes. I ended up paying a $20 "sitting fee" for two people plus $55 after tax for ONE unframed 8x10 print. That pricing is laughable. The entire business model feels designed to mislead customers upfront and pressure them into spending hundreds after they've already invested their time into the shoot. The customer service only made the experience worse. Despite repeatedly mentioning that we had a six hour drive home and needed to leave, the front desk/sales employee continued rambling about her personal life instead of simply completing the transaction. What should have been a quick and fun experience dragged into a frustrating two and a half hour ordeal. And on top of that, they gave us a wrong photo so we went back into to get the one we paid for and they gave us the wrong one again. I had high hopes when I saw they had 4.9 stars on google but after looking on other platforms (after our bad experience) and seeing much lower ratings, it's obvious they're deleting their bad reviews. Read the negative reviews carefully because they describe exactly what happened to us. This place relies on misleading advertising, high pressure sales tactics, and hidden pricing to make money. Avoid it unless you're prepared to spend far more than they initially lead you to believe.
