Here are some of my favorite shots from Abby and Drew’s wedding day. It was a beautiful day for a wedding! Blue skies and happy people helped to make their day and ours.

You remember Taylor, our resident beauty pageant contestant and cheerleader, right????

Well this week is her birthday, and we had a real honest to goodness Hollywood moment here at Bluff Mountain.

Party supplies all around…

Amanda made an incredible cake (everything’s edible except the ribbon… how does she do that??)

Limos arrive with the stars and starlets..

I’m not sure they’ve ever had that many people in those limos before.. but they were having a big time!

And the red carpet is rolled out for Taylor, the star of the show!

Even Granny gets into the act! I love her glasses.

Here we have a future beauty queen in training. She poses and freezes anytime the camera is pointed in her direction. Trust me, I have a lot of these shots…

A Hollywood party wouldn’t be complete without suspense, a lot of bling…

Something’s going on here… I think it has to do with who’s going to be the first to volunteer to dance with a GIRL!!!

The crowd watches in awe as Taylor cuts into her cake…

So here’s the whole gang, I think… it was a little tricky keeping up with all these guys. But it’s a good looking group nonetheless.. note: here are our future senators, firemen, astronauts, doctors and nurses, and of course, Movie Stars!!!

And here are our current camera hogs!

Happy Birthday Taylor! Thanks for bringing all your friends over to see us.

UPDATE!!!!!!

As I was taking a second look tonight at these photos, there were a few more that I thought were just plain fun… just like the kids were having this afternoon… just plain fun. Please indulge a few more…

I told you I had a lot of these….

Thanks for taking a look.

Here are a few of our favorite shots from Sarah and Matt’s wedding this Saturday. The colors were a great contrast and just popped out from our big natural backdrop. It was a fun group, and we’re really glad they found us here on the mountain.

Congratulations and best wishes from all of us here at Bluff Mountain Inn.

Meet Anthony and Maria who came from Ohio for their destination wedding, complete with a strolling violinist for the ceremony and reception. Maria is a classical pianist, so it just makes sense she would want live music for this most special day.

Jason Baker is a wonderful violinist. If you’re considering having a wedding here, you really should inquire about his services. It’s just a classy touch…

Seems we might have some aspiring wedding photographers in the group…

Best wishes to this happy couple, and thanks for Sondra, our associate photographer for taking these (and many more) wonderful shots!!

These folks were here just a few months ago for their engagement photos. Stephanie had a totally different look for her wedding day, don’t you think? CJ had pretty much the same look, just add a tux…

Can you tell already it’s going to be a fun day???

There was a little dispute between Stephanie and her sister about who was actually supposed to have the heirloom necklace. It turned out OK but was a little touchy for a minute.

Here’s one I’ll submit to Bride Magazine one day, if they ever ask me…

Here she’s sneaking up the stairs out back while CJ and the guys are coming in the front door. We had her covered…

The bridal party was a lot of fun and open to any sort of poses we threw at them. Thanks guys!

And we had some great afternoon sky for a backdrop.

We had a lot of fun with this group. Thanks for finding us here on the mountain. We wish you the very best.
