I cuss a lot and I break out into a terrible British accent when I'm excited - especially when I'm shooting with my clients. I love dark humor and I get tickled at the smallest things. You can find me at home with my fam and my dogs, deep in the woods howling at the moon, around a fire with an endless glass of Scotch, or enjoying a cuppa in my favorite coffee shop.

Hey, I’m Kayla! I own Kayla Jo Photography in East Tennessee. I'm a Wife, mom, with a camera in hand since 2015 and officially in business 4 years. My style is moody, romantic, and cinematic; real emotion with rich tones. I’ll guide you with easy, natural direction so you never feel awkward, then capture the candid in-between moments as they happen. You’ll get a gallery that tells the full story, plus a calm hype-girl who fixes the veil, smooths the dress, and keeps things flowing. 🖤

My husband and I eloped in the Smokey Mountains and Kayla captured our day perfectly!! We had never had professional photos taken before our wedding day so we both felt very awkward and out of place. Kayla had so much energy towards us that after only 10 minutes we felt so much more comfortable. She made our photo session so much fun and it truly showed in our photos! I absolutely love all of the photos we got back and have received tons of compliments on them! I would work with Kayla again in a heart beat!!!

I’m Scarlett, owner of S. Morgan Photography, specializing in romantic, fine-art portrait, wedding, and elopement photography that blends guided direction with genuine moments. My approach is rooted in storytelling, creating images that feel natural, heartfelt, and timeless. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a full wedding day, I provide thoughtful guidance so your experience feels relaxed, meaningful, and beautifully preserved. Based in East Tennessee and available for travel across the Smoky Mountains, the Southeast, and destination celebrations.

S.Morgan Photography was fantastic to work with for our wedding day. Her communication style was great - not only was there an initial meeting, but then there were follow-ups as well which was really appreciated. I also had her phone number for any other concerns I needed to address. You definitely get what you pay for with S.Morgan Photography - I had hundreds of photos taken and the editing turnaround time was prompt. Scarlett went above and beyond, not only helping me physically get ready for the big day, but also helping with the setup. She was nothing but professional and great at putting up with all the chaos of the day, from dealing with family members to venue shortcomings, Scarlett was there until the very end. I highly recommend S.Morgan Photography for your wedding day photography needs.

The folks at Cardinals Nest were absolutely amazing! They let us stop by a few times to check out the venue and walked around with us to show all of the fixes they were doing. They were genuinely so sweet and welcoming and it was great to have their experienced input on how we should decorate and arrange the space. We had some bad weather the morning of so we unfortunately had the walls of the tent down but they actually opened it up for me once the rain passed because they knew I wanted to! Even with the rain the venue managed wonderfully with a pavilion for the ceremony and the tent for the reception.

The Loralei Inn was a wonderful venue for our October wedding. We booked it for the whole weekend, our family stayed in the house and we were able to host our rehersal dinner there as well. The staff made everything so perfect and magical. They made our vision even better than we could have imagined! And not to mention the views are STUNNING! Our guests could say enough how spectacular the venue was. Plus they let us have our dogs there, which was very important to us.

Leah is hands down the right choice for ANYTHING you want photographed. I have done portrait sessions, engagement session, an event, and also my wedding with her and I can tell you they are my favorite photos that have ever been taken of me. Leah has a way of capturing everything...your personality, your vibes, the surroundings you're in....everything. Candid, beautifully shot and composed, and she finds these little tiny moments in everything that you'll be astounded she even captured. I could literally write about how much I adore her forever.

Hi! I’m Becky Sexton-Ellison, owner and chef of Mountain Heart Catering. I’ve been cooking since I was tall enough to reach the stove, learning from my mom, grandmother, and babysitter. Cooking is my passion, and I love making people smile with homemade Southern food.
