About Mariah Rock Photography

My name is Mariah Phillips and I live in Knoxville, Tennessee. I found my passion for photography at a young age and had no idea what the possibilities were with it. It all started when my grandmother let me use an old camera that she would take on trips. I began experimenting with it and fell in love instantly, fast forward decades later and here we are!

After studying journalism in college, I was lucky enough to get my first full-time job out of school as a TV News Reporter in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I spent most of my time doing that while photographing families and weddings on the side.
While in the news industry, I gained a lot of experience and met some fantastic people, but knew it wasn’t where I was meant to be.

In April 2020 I was fortunate enough to quit my full-time job in the corporate world and live out my dream as a professional wedding photographer in Knoxville, TN. Traveling around the South-East, I adore and cherish every moment I get to spend with my couples. It is TRULY an honor.

For me, photography is an incredibly personal endeavor. Each wedding is an opportunity to tell the story of a couple's love, and I believe that’s something that every couple has in common. As a Wedding Photographer, it’s my goal to create images that are unfailingly authentic, timeless, and incredibly beautiful.

There isn’t a moment in my life where I wish I would have done anything differently. I say this because I am right where I’m supposed to be.
