Nashville Corporate Event Photography
Erin Lee Allender
I provide Nashville corporate event photography for meetings, conferences, conventions, and experiential events where images are needed for marketing, internal communications, and future promotion.
I work regularly with corporate planners, marketing teams, and destination management companies producing events in Nashville — often for organizations based outside the region — who need photography that clearly communicates the experience to stakeholders who weren't in the room.
I function as part of your team. I adapt to what the event requires — whether that means working quietly in the background or stepping in to create the shots your marketing team needs.
Past clients include: Google · Forrester · Amazon · OpenText · CyberArk · Dairy Queen · Country Music Hall of Fame — among many others.
Kind Words
Erin captures the spirit of community. For nearly a decade, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum has used her photos for socials, print ads, brochures, and in our galleries. Her photos are dynamic, inviting, and seamlessly translate across mediums. From food and event photography to live music coverage and behind-the-scenes shots, her images consistently express the communal nature of the wide-range of activities at the Hall. In a town full of talented and world-renowned photographers, we turn to Erin for her work, professionalism, and her flexibility. I've witnessed her get the perfect shot during styled and un-staged food shoots. As a Creative Director, it’s invaluable to have a photographer who quickly understands the goals of a given shoot, and often surpasses what we think possible. - Luke Wiget, Senior Creative Director • Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
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. - Judith Tacelli, Art Director • Forrester Research

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to help us remember such a special night! -Claire Jones, Director of Communications • Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation
