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 what they did was pretty cool, and I felt 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.

A moment for those black and white images through the years.
Side note: I truly ran out of tags for everyone 🖤

Same venue.
Different weddings.
Every. Single. Time.
These are all weddings I photographed at @thetrilliumvenue this year. Same stunning Mountain View’s. Same photographer. And yet, not a single wedding looked or felt like another.
Different couples.
Different personalities.
Different colors, flowers, fashion, and traditions. Different weather, lighting, and seasons.
Some days were bright and sunny. Others were cloudy, moody, or rainy. Some celebrations were intimate and quiet. Others were one big party.
And that’s what I love about photographing weddings, even at a venue I’ve worked at countless times.
A wedding venue might provide the setting, but the people are what make the DAY. Their relationships, their decisions, their energy, and all the little moments that happen along the way.
I could photograph another hundred weddings at The Trillium and still walk away with a hundred different stories.
Same place. Never the same wedding.
And that’s exactly how it should be 🧡 #knoxvillephotographer #knoxvilleweddingphotographer #smokymountainphotographer #thetrilliumvenue #trilliumvenuewedding
My last wedding at @thetrilliumvenue for the year was another delightful day on the mountains. Congratulations to Gina and Chris. It was so wonderful to celebrate with you 🫶🏻

Mountain vibes all day long with Payton and Gunnar.
This was my very first time visiting the overlook by The Trillium, but so happy to have a couple who decides on a whim that we should check it out.
Congratulations to this amazing couple. May all their days be as bright as their wedding day ✨✨
