Wedding & Elopement Pictures
I'm Erin Morrison, an experienced photographer that serves the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
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.

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 ✨✨

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: every single wedding I photograph is different. Every. Single. One. And that’s exactly the way it’s supposed to be.
Kailey and Jim built their wedding around one very simple idea: togetherness through a really good party. Their cocktail-inspired reception was designed for mingling, moving around, and spending time with the people they invited.
The dance floor was right by the bar and lounge area. A handful of seated tables sat under the Grand Hall at The Trillium, but the whole setup encouraged people to move, talk, dance, grab a drink, sit for a minute, and then get right back into it. Nobody was tucked away in separate spaces. Everyone was part of the same party.
And it WORKED.
What. A. Day.

It’s officially goldenrod season in East Tennessee. Kayla, John, and I travelled all around Cades Cove on a quiet fall evening. Couldn’t ask for better weather or better company 💛
