Corporate and Conference Photography at Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center
Erin Lee Allender
CONFERENCE & MEETING PHOTOGRAPHY AT GAYLORD OPRYLAND
I photograph conferences, summits, and corporate meetings at Gaylord Opryland — general sessions, breakouts, exhibit hall activity, and evening programming — delivering images for marketing, internal communications, sponsor reporting, and future promotion.
I work regularly with corporate planners, marketing teams, and destination management companies producing events here, often for organizations based outside the region who need photography that clearly communicates the scale and energy of the event to stakeholders who weren't in the room. On-site, I function as part of your team, adapting to what each session requires — working quietly in the background or stepping in to get the shots your marketing team needs for recap decks and next year's promotion.
I also worked at Gaylord Opryland myself before becoming a photographer, so I know the property from the inside — the layout, the flow between spaces, how the resort operates on event days. That familiarity means less time spent figuring out logistics and more time spent covering your agenda.
I've covered corporate events here for clients including Forrester, who brought me back for a second event in 2025 after CX Summit North America 2024. Past corporate clients elsewhere include Google, Amazon, OpenText, CyberArk, Dairy Queen, and Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum — among many others.

RECENT WORK
“Forrester Research worked with photographer Erin Allender at one of our biggest events of the year, CX Summit North America 2024, and we were so pleased with the results. In an event space with various lighting situations and a lengthy shot list, she delivered images that were technically excellent and creatively on brand. She captured the energy, connection, and value of a Forrester event, and she was a dream to work with — responsive, collaborative, and timely. I highly recommend her. — ”
