Two grooms, brides, or any other combination is beautiful because of the love being shared. At Erin Morrison Photography, I have been fortunate enough to photograph a number of weddings within the LGBTQ+ community. The focus of my LGBT portfolio is always the same – have fun and capture the love.

I'm always looking forward to meeting new couples throughout Knoxville. I'm committed to telling stories through photography that captures the raw emotion. Every couple has their own, unique style.
As an LGBTQ+-friendly photographer, I believe love is love, and every couple deserves to have their unique story told with authenticity and respect. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless love stories, each one different but equally beautiful. My commitment to being an ally stems from my deep-rooted belief in equality and inclusivity. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space for all couples where they can be themselves without hesitation. My goal is to reflect the true essence of your relationship through my lens, ensuring that every moment is captured with the care and attention it deserves.

Beyond just photographing your wedding, I’m dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ+ community in every way I can. From working with inclusive vendors to advocating for equal treatment and respect, I’m here to ensure that your experience is not only joyful but also free from any discrimination or discomfort. My role as your photographer goes beyond just taking pictures; I’m here to be a trusted ally, a supportive friend, and someone who truly celebrates the love you share.

As an LGBT wedding photographer in Knoxville, I focus on capturing the real emotions and the real relationships. I'm a dreamer and an artist, which is why I love weddings. I will approach your wedding day with technical knowledge as well as creativity. My goal is to tell your individual story as opposed to using a pre-created "shot list" simply because I want to make sure that your photo album is unique.
Whether you opt for a traditional wedding or you break the boundaries and create something completely individual, I will be there every step of the way in order to capture the memories.

As a LGBTQ+ couple, we were looking for a personable, affirming photographer, and we found that and more with Erin. We shot engagement photos in the Smokies and had a blast in the fall foliage. Erin made us feel celebrated and relaxed throughout the afternoon. As two introverts who definitely needed help looking comfortable in front of a camera, Erin kept us laughing and shot our natural, candid movements. She gave us options so we felt like we could be creative with her, and she perfectly captured us! Thank you so much, Erin, for giving us a great experience and gorgeous photos to last a lifetime.”

Oh, what a year, 2025.
With over 40 weddings and elopements, EMP spent the year chasing love across some truly incredible spaces—private golf resorts, hidden AirBnBs, mountain views, and Knoxville downtown gems. Oh, and everything in between!
Each slide here represents a different place, a different couple, and a completely perfectly-imperfect story. I’m grateful for every single one 🫶🏻

2026 wedding trend…
…do whatever the **** you want to do.
Because you’re paying for it.
Because this day is about your relationship, not outside expectations.
Because traditions should feel meaningful and not obligatory.
Because the weddings people remember most are the ones that feel honest and lived-in.
You don’t need a reason to skip something that doesn’t fit.
You don’t need permission to build a day that looks different than what you’ve seen online.
And you definitely don’t need to explain yourselves to anyone who isn’t standing beside you in this life.
If it feels right, do it.
If it feels forced, let it go.
That’s not a rebellion. That’s the point.
