Jamie and Christopher

The British are coming! Actually, they were just here... Jamie and Christopher live near Detroit, but Chris's family came over from the UK to celebrate this very special occasion. We had a smashing time with them and wish this lovely couple the best in the years to come. Check out the pics...

Well, it is my blog....

We have hundreds of visitors every year here at Bluff Mountain, and some may not be as attractive (in the sight of the beholder...) as others, or as well dressed, but we like to give every unique visitor equal opportunity for the spotlight. So a big Hello to Mr. (maybe Ms., who knows?) Grasshopper who showed up on our back porch today just begging for a photo op. Well you got it... you will probably never see it, but maybe a few folks will who might appreciate your unique beauty. Or maybe not... but it is my blog ;) .... so here are some very cool (imho) grasshopper shots.

Melissa and Russ

Not everyone looks great while getting their hair and makeup done...


From the long shot to the extreme closeup, what a pretty bride.


As you can see, some things run in the family.


Throw in a few autumn leaves and some fall colors... oh yeah!



Just a little subliminal message here we assume...


Then you throw in a good looking groom...


And a little more fall colors...



And a beautiful ring for his soon to be daughter...





And you have a beautiful blended family.






Congratulations to Melissa and Russ and their lovely families... thanks for coming to Bluff Mountain to share this most special day!

Stephanie and Ralph's Engagement

Stephanie and Ralph are students at VA Tech and will graduate soon. They'll also be married soon, as in next spring. So they decided to take a trip up to the mountains to take a look around and take advantage of the beautiful mountain colors for their engagement photos. It was a fun session for me because they required no coaching at all! "Just do what comes natural", and they did... and it shows, no?

Heather and Josh

Heather and Josh picked a gorgeous fall day for their wedding, complete with complimenting colors, a cool cake, bubbles and a Packard Departure! Amanda had a great time shooting this couple and their party. Here are some highlights...


















Congratulations to the happy couple and many happy returns of the day!
