Gatlinburg Wedding Photographer » RIK Photography is your best choice for modern artistic and creative wedding photography in Gatlinburg and the TN Smoky Mountains.

We had quite the event Saturday with Catherine, James, their families and friends. I’m a big fan of live music, having been in the music business for so many years. So I was thrilled that Catherine chose to have a violinist to play at her wedding, and a band for the reception. We had a great time with this great couple.
Just after this photo, she tells me, “I hate photos!”. “Should I leave now?”, I said… she changed her mind. I’m glad. would have missed some fun shots.

I think they got into this photo a little more than she expected…

Some photogenic flower girls made my day… see below.

So these guys had a great idea of having a pumpkin carving party for their rehearsal dinner! Some pretty incredible works of art were produced.

Did I mention the photogenic flower girl? I’ll have you know that she asked me to shoot her wedding, when she grows up of course. It’s going to be on January 1st, when she grows up. Or at least that’s her plan for now. I’m holding the date.

This is Mike Sherman. One of the greatest guitar players in the world. We worked together at the Louise Mandrell Theater for years. So much fun to have these guys playing.

Now these ladies aren’t really part of the band, but they had a great time. Can you tell?

Yeah… you can tell.

Some folks come here to start their new life together. Some come to reaffirm their commitment. And some come just for fun!

Happy 15th Mr. and Mrs. Wilkenson! Come see us at 30.

Kimberly and Robert were married here last Saturday, and we understand Robert is going to be deployed for Army training this weekend. Congratulations, be safe, and thanks for your service to our country.

Our friend Sondra came over to help us out with photography. Each of our photographers lend their own unique style to the shots while keeping our special Bluff Mountain touch. Nice shots, don’t you think?

We just received a really nice note from Colleen….

“I just wanted to let you both know how much I enjoyed our wedding that took place on October 13. It was so beautiful and it was absolutely WONDERFUL that I did not have to worry or think about any of the details! You all did a great job! Everyone that attended has told me how much they like it and how nice everything looked. The food was excellent and everyone has raved about the cake!

Thank you for everything!!!!!!!!!!”

These folks picked the most beautiful day to have a wedding. Congratulations Leitte and Jason!
