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.

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.
