Mississippi Wedding

I've been too busy to post lately...just returned from Mississippi where we enjoyed capturing images and video of Marilyn's and Jim's beautiful wedding! Despite the cold, blustery weather, we had a great time working with this adorable couple and their terrific families!

March in North Carolina

The majority of our visit this time was spent inside because it RAINED outside! Of course, since NC is still in drought conditions, we're not really complaining, especially since we have a view like this from the back porch!

This morning, St. Patrick's Day, we awoke to BEAUTIFUL sunny weather...even the daffodils are up and smiling!

We drove out to Max Patch and hiked up to the top with friends...magnificent views! Met this duo, sisters from Chicago hiking the AT. It was a wonderful day!

Cataloochee Elk

We postponed our trip to Knoxville because of the weather, but late in the afternoon, the sky cleared and we decided to make a quick trip to Cataloochee. What a bonus! These two young elk were sparring alongside the road as we left...first time we'd seen elk at Cataloochee. We were the only visitors today, but it was certainly well worth the trip!

Elite Hair & Nail Salon

These lovely ladies are the ones you'll meet when you visit Elite Hair & Nail Salon. We had a great time photographing them and they do wonderful work!

Sunset on the Mountain

Just as we returned this evening, there was this incredible sunset! It was about 20 degrees, but the stars came out later and we had a fantastic lightshow from the hot tub!

Winter Beauty

We walked around Lake Junaluska this afternoon...quite cool, but we enjoyed our brisk walk! The lake is beautiful, even in winter.

Frozen Water Everywhere!

We arrived to find that our water pump had quit operating, so spent the first two days of our visit getting water! There was snow on the deck when we arrived and the pond was completely frozen!

Balsam Range

These are the incredibly talented gentlemen of Balsam Range, a well-known bluegrass group here in NC. We enjoyed their music at Thad Woods' New Year's Sing...first time we'd attended and it was quite an event. Thad knows many gospel musicians personally and was able to attract quite a group for this event.

Lovely Senior

Here's Kandace...isn't she lovely?

ADORABLE CLAIRE

This little miss is just loaded with personality...she was such fun to photograph!

Our Favorite Place To Be in the Snow!!!

Snowing in North Carolina

We awoke this morning to blowing snow and 18 degrees! The snow is beautiful, and we're fortunate to be snug and warm inside. Parts of I-40 are closed in the area and people are being asked to stay off the roads. We drove our ranger down the hill to get a few of these pics...it was a quick trip!

Ellie & Elmo

Our adorable granddaughter has a thing for Elmo...she's quite taken with the Elmo Christmas stocking we gave her.

Adorable Family!

Here's precious Ethan and his great-looking parents! We had a ball with this little man..such a personality!

Santa is coming!

Santa will return for a visit to PVP on Monday, Dec. 1 and Tuesday, Dec. 2. Our packages start at only $69, and we're already scheduling appointments! Call today to set a time for your little one(s) to visit Santa in their jammies or their Christmas best!

Pogo's Porkers Win!

Here's our barbecue team, Pogo's Porkers, with our 2nd place trophy for Brunswick Stew (thanks, Sherri!) which we won at the 2008 Big Pig Jig in Vienna, GA...lots of fun and lots of good barbecue!

Annie & Alden's Colorado Wedding

Here's the adorable couple whose wedding we had the pleasure of videotaping on October 12th in Ward, CO, just north of Boulder. The first snow of the season fell the night before the wedding, so we enjoyed beautiful scenery while we were there.

Gram Parsons Guitar Pull

Here are a few photos from the Gram Parsons Guitar Pull, held at the Fairgrounds on Sept. 26-27. We heard so MANY great bands...if you haven't attended in the past, give it a try next year.

Our NEW VIEW!

During our recent trip to God's country (western North Carolina), we hired a great guy named Happy Queen trim some trees enough to open a view. Here are the before and after photos...quite a change! Now it's even HARDER to head back south!

Ashley - BCHS Senior

This pretty senior enjoys bow hunting!
