About
Erin Morrison
I AM a walking contradiction; AN introverted EXTROVERT, A TYPE A personality WITH a photographic creative STREAK, A YANKEE WHO SAYS FIXIN'S, AND a lover OF ALL THINGS comedy WHO CAN'T TELL a punch-line TO SAVE HER SOUL...

I was born and raised in Illinois and moved to the great southern state of Tennessee. I never dreamed that I would be a Knoxville wedding photographer or a Knoxville family photographer, and I am blessed that my art allows me to meet new couples and new families.

So, I know you’re asking how I made my way down to Tennessee. Well, I had to get out of that COLDNESS! No, for reals. Have you ever just wanted to pick up and go somewhere and start over? I was in my first semester of Graduate School in Illinois and I hated it. I felt like everyone had moved on but me, and this Type 3 wasn’t having any of that. I applied to a bunch of Criminology Programs around the country and fell in love with The University of Tennessee (and the people) the minute I stepped onto campus. I came. I saw. I got a job and then my Master's Degree. And then I met a boy.
A pretty cool boy who became my husband. James and I met in the pre-Tinder days at a good ole bar (sorry mom and dad) and fifteen years later we are still together. In fact, we just celebrated our 11 Year Wedding Anniversary! And guess what? We have this super cute little girl together. Her name is Ella and she is officially the love of my life. I can say without a doubt that she makes me a better person.
I hear you thinking in your head, “Well, how did you become a photographer then?” OH! Let me tell you! I fell in love with my wedding photographers! I thought that what they did was pretty darn cool, and I felt like it would be the perfect creative outlet for me. I talked James’ ear off for almost a solid year before he surprised me with my first camera. That moment was the start of this crazy photography adventure.
As of this typing, I have photographed hundreds of weddings from all over the Knoxville area! I am also one of the few photographers permitted to photograph in The Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Voted one of the Best Knoxville Photographers, I am adaptable, knowledgeable, and flexible in any required shooting condition. That is the difference that experience makes, and that is why you should hire me for your wedding photography.

Wanna know one of the best feelings as a wedding photographer?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A full, hot plate of catered food.
Sitting at the vendor table with your photographer and videographer friends.
After a full day of making magic and memories for your couple.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re tired. You’re sweaty.
But you know the rest of the night is gonna be a reception BANGER.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The feet hurt.
The heart is full.
The mac and cheese is hitting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life is good.

Imposter syndrome + the weight of social media = thinking that no one wants to see the same wedding over and over.

If I could have one superpower on a wedding day, it would be to control the weather. With over five weather Apps on my phone, you could tell that I’m trying. Hard.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This wedding had its challenges with weather - an entire morning or rain followed by 30mph wind gusts at sunset.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know what wasn’t a challenge? This bride and groom. They are absolutely delightful people who had an absolutely delightful wedding day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know wedding days are stressful. They’re imperfect days being managed by humans. Enjoy it. Live it. It really is a great day with the best people in your world 🥰

One of the hardest parts of a wedding day? Not the timeline. Not the weather.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s. The. Dress.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ve never worn anything like this. It’s heavy. It’s poofy. It has a mind of its own.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND THEN...there’s the fear of getting it dirty. Girl. GURL.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s white. It touches the ground. You’re walking on literal Earth. The minute that dress goes on, it’s fighting for its life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And guess what? That’s okay!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A dress that lives a little? ICONIC.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear the dang dress.
Don’t let it wear you 🫶🏻
