I'm here to make your wedding day feel easy, intentional, and completely yours. From the moment we start working together, you'll receive the Wedding Archive—a planning guide that helps you set up your day with intention.
On your wedding day, I create space for things to unfold naturally, offering gentle direction when you need it. I blend film, Super 8, and digital to give your gallery depth and dimension—photos that don't just document your day, but pull you right back into it every time you look.

DIGITAL + FILM PHOTOGRAPHY
LAUREN HANTHORN
Hey, I’m Lauren, a wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. I’ve always been a storyteller, and photography is my way of capturing real, raw moments that mean something.
I'm constantly inspired by the candid moments—the laughter, the tears, the in-between moments that show who you really are. I want you to feel relaxed and completely yourselves, because that’s when the magic happens.
Outside of photography, I’m all about wellness, thrifting, music, and the outdoors. Nature is my inspiration, and it keeps me grounded in everything I do. Photography isn’t just my job—it’s my passion, and I’m so grateful to be a part of the moments that matter most.

Five stars don't do Lauren justice! We have never had such an amazing experience (or pictures for that matter) with a photographer. Near or far, if you’re not choosing Lauren to do your photos, you’re shorting yourself!

Lauren is the BEST choice for your wedding. She made sure to understand our vision and paid attention from biggest to smallest detail. Not only are her photography skills amazing, but she is the sweetest person you’ll ever meet! She’s worth every penny and if we had to do it all over again, we’d choose her every time.
