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!

Jay did an excellent job. We had nice conversations. He's a great photography teacher; he provided tips and tricks and new ideas for us to study. He's a safe driver, yet took us to great sites off of the beaten path. He answered every question, and sprinkled his answers with great jokes.

Excellent local photo tour. J picked us up from our hotel as arranged. He then drove us to 2 different waterfalls and gave hands on instruction. We then went on the blue ridge parkway to get sunset shots from multiple different lookouts. We will definitely book again. I highly recommend you touch base with him directly for the best experience. Thanks Kenny&Jenny WNCphototours

J drove us to a waterfall and some scenic viewpoints on the Blueridge Parkway to take photos. He had offered to let us cancel due to the weather conditions, but we chose to go ahead. Even with the fog blocking a lot of our view, the scenery was beautiful. He taught me two techniques for capturing waterfalls and sunsets. He personalized the lesson to my photography experience, and we enjoyed the tour.

The weather did not cooperate to allow the planned itinerary but J more than compensated by taking us to some great sites for some great photographic opportunities. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. A lot of driving but turned a weather bust into a memorable experience.

We were picked up exactly on time. J told us about what he thought he would do and checked it out with us. We went to places we would have not known about and despite driving through a torrential downpour he assured us we would get some dry spots for photography. We stopped at two waterfalls and some viewpoints over the mountains. J was easy to talk to and we had some great conversation. It was a great afternoon and evening trip.

I knew I was going to be pressed for time so I arranged for a one day tour up to Roan Mountain during the rhododendron bloom. "J" picked me up and off we went...Wow!!! what a great day it turned out to be...He gave me a lot of good suggestions and got me to the right place at the right time. I cam home with amazing images and really enjoyed the trip...I am a an experienced photographer but time was not on my side . I am so glad I got in touch with WNC Photo tours..."J" took the worry out of the day and got me where I wanted to be without any hassles..

J tailored the half-day trip in order to instruct me on enhancing my photo skills and to photo some of the most beautiful areas around Asheville. The waterfall off the beaten path, the rhododendrons off the Blue Ridge Parkway…all made for great content for photos…and some great memories. Looking forward to the next tour-we will return to Asheville and join J again! Highly recommend!!

We had a GREAT experience. J was terrific… took us to out of the way places that we would never have found on our own. We visited to waterfalls & a great spot on the Blue Ridge Parkway for sunset. J provided helpful tips to improve my photography. A must do for photography enthusiasts.
