Planning a wedding can be daunting, and planning a wedding in the Smoky Mountains adds another layer of complexity - whether you are planning a local wedding or designing your dream destination wedding. With the beautiful atmosphere of the Smoky Mountains, brides and grooms have the opportunity to create a unique, unforgettable wedding. However, couples must remember several important considerations when designing a Smoky Mountain wedding. With the correct planning, you can ensure your big day is free from unwanted surprises and welcome the dream wedding you deserve.
Statistics show that more than ten thousand marriage licenses are issued annually from Sevier County, Tennessee. Many of these licenses are for inside the boundaries of the National Park. There are specific guidelines for a wedding, elopement, or event in the Smoky Mountains. Guidelines involve location and date restrictions for wedding ceremonies, guest capacity, and decoration constraints.
Luckily, you have me! My name is Erin Morrison, and I am a Smoky Mountain Wedding Photographer. Whether you want to exchange vows in a rustic chapel or at one of the many cabins that dot the gorgeous landscape, I want to be along for the ride on your special day. I am familiar with many ceremony locations and will follow specific guidelines by the National Park Service. Weddings and elopements are in my heart, and I believe wedding planning should be enjoyable. Let me help you plan your perfect smoky mountain wedding. Feel free to purchase my Smoky Mountain Wedding Guide at your convenience, and contact me anytime.
A sliver of light.
Then shadow.
The warmth of golden hour.
The hush of blue hour.
Cades Cove gave us every shade of the day.

Just one of those Smoky Mountain days that felt right. The kind filled with belly laughs, happy tears, and the kind of joy you can’t fake.
@thelunosavenue was all charm, all chill, and the perfect backdrop for this emotional rollercoaster of a love fest for Marissa + Nancy.
Oh! And did I mention the mariachi band that showed up and kicked off the reception in the best way? Because they did. 💃

The minute I stepped on campus at Tennessee, I knew it was going to be my home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What brought me to Tennessee? Grad school. What kept me here? A very cute man named James who is now my husband 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was James who bought me my very first camera. Life has a funny way of working out…and it was all thanks to an admission letter and a complete leap of faith 🧡
