If you’re in the Asheville area and looking for something interesting and fun to do I would recommend a half day photo tour with J. I went on the spring rhododendron photo shoot. J met us exactly where and when he said he would. Drove us up on the parkway where he is very knowledgeable of the area and where and when the rhododendron blooms are peak. He also has has a good knowledge of photography and can help you capture some great images to take home. When some photo tours cost $XXXX J is a very reasonable alternative. Well worth the money and a great guide.

J met me right on time and immediately asked me what I wanted most from my custom tour and lesson, and when I said 'waterfalls' we decided to skip looking for Elk and headed off on a fantastic tour of four waterfalls - the first one being an easy one to reach, close to the road. I think he was using it to test my skill level of hiking/climbing, which, at 82 years old, I don't blame him for checking. In the end, I think I passed that test, even beyond my own expectations, and the views and photo ops were well worth it. We ended up high in the mountains somewhere south of Asheville for sunset shots, and while we opted not to wait for the full moon to rise, we had lovely views of it on the drive back to Asheville. J was a wonderful teacher, easy to learn from and talk to, and I enjoyed our conversations on the drive to and from the various sites.

This is my 2nd trip with WNC Photo Tours. J knows all the good places, times of the year, and conditions to ensure you have a jaw-dropping experience. For this tour, we Went out to Roan Mountain pre-dawn to capture the sunrise over the weekend's snow. It was peaceful and beautiful, and I got some great images. Thanks, J, for this memorable opportunity!
