Our Story

Ron Wainscott and April Loyle have been working together since 2010, taking Shore Shooters Beach Photography from a one-man “hobby” to a team of more than 30 photographers providing family beach portraits in coastal resort communities throughout Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina.

Ron’s business knowledge and love of the vacation / tourism industry combined with April’s creative leadership and passion for creating opportunities for photographers has resulted in Shore Shooters becoming the Gulf Coast’s leader in beach photography.

Ron and April are assisted by Brittney Rush, who oversees the appointment scheduling and customer service process.  Brittney is passionate about making sure each and every client is a priority and is happy with their photography session.

The Shore Shooters business model has now come to the mountains of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.  Like Shore Shooters, Mountain Escape’s goal is to provide lasting memories of your vacation combined with great customer service, quick turnaround, and a fun experience!

We look forward to working with you during your vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains!  Whether it’s a family vacation, couple / engagement photos, or a wedding / elopement, our team is here to document your time in the Smokies with modern but timeless photographs that you’ll cherish forever.
