My fiancé Bob and I had the pleasure of working with Al and his wife Allie!! We recently traveled to the Smoky Mountains and wanted to have engagement photos done. Al and his wife were extremely helpful and professional. We worked together to coordinate the location and Al did a fantastic job on our photos. His knowledge of the area helped us to get just what we were looking for. Their creative eye made for incredible breath taking photos. Al was fast with his delivery and spent the time needed to capture our vision. I can’t say thank you enough

Al Harris with Mile Marker Images helped make our wedding day perfect! Al is high energy and will go above and beyond to get the perfect shots of your special day! He was so attentive to my wants and needs and made sure I was getting everything I needed (including mentally). Throughout the whole process, Al was responsive, supportive, professional, and fun to work with. I highly recommend Mile Marker Images to help capture all the beautiful moments on your wedding day!

Where to even begin with Al.... I can't say enough wonderful things! From the first time we spoke for me to learn more about his services, to the final delivery of my wedding photos, he has been so gracious and such a pleasure to work with. He is very professional but so fun to work with! My husband and I are not picture people and we're very nervous about our photos. We had engagement photos through someone else and they turned out very "posey" and unreal. Al heard our concerns and wishes for these photos to feel more natural and truly capture our love for each other and wow

Going into my wedding I knew I wanted great photos to look back on, and I can honestly say that this was easily one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. Al and his team are worth every penny! They were professional and fun all at the same time, which really helped with the wedding nerves. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, I highly recommend Mile Marker Images.

Mile Marker Images was absolutely the right choice! Al Harris and his assistant Savannah made my entire experience nothing short of amazing! If you want your memories captured in a beautiful and personal way to cherish for the rest of your life, consider MMI. Not only are they incredibly talented, but the two created a fun and relaxing environment for the entire day. I felt like they were two old friends of mine, there to support the entire process. Little did I realize that as they were going above and beyond to connect with myself, my entire bridal party and now-husband, they were catching every

If you want pictures you can treasure forever that do not look posed or forced, Mile Marker is the perfect option! Al was an absolute dream to work with. At the beginning of planning I told him what I was wanting and he not only nailed it, he exceeded my highest expectations. His background allows him to see art in such an incredible way and capture it so perfectly. Hiring Mile Marker Images for my wedding was one of (if not the best) decision I made in my wedding planning. I fully intend to utilize Al's services again in the future for whatever other precious events life throws at my husband

I first met Al at a bridal show when I was a bridesmaid helping my friend plan her wedding. At her wedding, I was blown away by his enthusiasm, style, and professionalism. So naturally, when it came time to plan my big day choosing Al was the easiest decision that I had to make! I knew I needed to book MMI to capture all of our special moments in the way that only Al and his team can. Al became a friend to us over the course of our engagement. He was even our official witness on the wedding day! He provided us with advice, assisted with the timeline of the day, and put us at ease amongst the stress

I have helped many couples plan their wedding, and have come across many different photographers. Some good, some bad. I am pleased to say that Al is one of the great ones! As a photographer, he was super interactive with the Briding groom! He had a joyful composure the entire day that only added to the fantastic time that everyone was having. As a fellow vendor who worked this wedding, he was AMAZING! Team work makes the dream work! Al and his assistant Savannah were great team players throughout the entire day. He did an incredible job of keeping things moving along according to the day of itinerary

Al is extremely easy to work with prior to and at the wedding. He is extremely flexible in scheduling our engagement session and all phone conversations. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. Al got us our sneak-peak pictures to us less than a week after our wedding. He made sure to get all of the photos we wanted, and he had the perfect suggestions to make the pictures the best. Additionally, the photo booth he brought was fantastic and so much fun!

Al is THE BEST photographer! He is so fun to work with! My husband and I wanted a fun 50s theme for our engagement photos and Al knew exactly where to go and I still get compliments on them! He also did my bridal photo shoot and made me feel very beautiful. I was very happy with how everything turned out! The lighting was so fantastic! And he finally did our wedding day! He really captured special moments that will last forever. I'm very grateful to have found such a wonderful photographer and that I decided to have him do all my pictures. I'll recommend him to anyone and I'll be

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the experience AND the photos! Al is the most comfortable and FUN person to work with. If you want amazing photos be it family, engagement, wedding, reunions, head shots, he's the man! My daughter had her engagement photo session with him and it was wonderful! She and her fiancé had a great time and their photos showed it. Al captured the moments. He truly did.
He now has a fun PHOTO BOOTH experience that can be used at parties, weddings, and other social events!
