About this listen

Welcome to East TN Wedding Pros Podcast; where we get to know the amazing people behind the businesses that make weddings in East TN, Knoxville and the Smoky Mountains so special. Each week, we'll sit down with florists, photographers, planners, venue owners, DJs, and more to hear their stories, what drives them, and the fun (and sometimes crazy) moments that come with working in the wedding world. We love sharing laughs, behind-the-scenes stories, and the little things that make each wedding unique. This podcast is your backstage pass to the vibrant wedding scene of East Tennessee.ColleenPressley Economics Leadership Management & Leadership

  • S1: E 16 Sullivan Photography - Stephanie "Sissy" Sullivan
    Dec 31 2025

    S1: E16 ** This was the episode that stared it all **

    Sissy was the very first vendor to agree to be on in December of 2024, and she absolutely nailed it. I wanted to end season 1 when it all began, with the one vendor who said YES right out of the gate.

    Sissy has 20 years of experience as a licensed professional photographer with a BFA degree in photography and has been in business for over 20 years!

    Not only does she consider photography her passion, but she also thinks of it as an art that exceeds all limitations.

    In addition to wedding venues, area churches and private properties are also a favorite as well as The Great Smoky Mountains! Sullivan Photography is licensed and permitted to photograph weddings, elopements, engagement sessions, family photography, and portraits in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

    Sullivan Photography also loves to travel and has captured weddings and events in other states such as Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.

    S1: E 15 **SPECIAL GUEST ALERT**

    You all know him as the viral sensation: Dancing Blue Shirt Guy... but Michael Galyean also has years of experience touching several facets of the wedding industry here in Knoxville. From a summer as a wedding DJ to years of banquet manager experience at a local country club, to being a Man of Honor, this episode had me in stitches. His opinions are strong, brave and everything we could want in a special guest.

    Here's his viral Youtube video with the UT Dance team
