I'm a bit of a planning nerd. I don’t just show up on the day of the wedding—I’m invested in the whole process, helping you feel confident, organized, and excited as we bring your vision to life.
From creating mood boards to offering guidance on everything from timelines to little details, I’m with you every step of the way.
You’ll never have to worry about the small stuff—I’ve got it covered so you can focus on what truly matters.

Hey there!
I'M LAUREN HANTHORN
Here's a little bit of my story...
Hey, I’m Lauren, a wedding photographer based in Knoxville, TN. I’ve always been a storyteller, and photography is my way of capturing real, raw moments that mean something.
What drives me? It's 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 was incredible! She sent out a really intentional questionnaire before hand. She gave me a little pep talk before I walked out and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. All of the pictures Lauren has taken for us are absolutely beautiful. They are definitely photos I will cherish forever. I’m so thankful for Lauren’s intentionality and amazing eye for detail to make sure we got our once in a life time photos.

Lauren creates a space that feels comfortable and not at all awkward. My person and I had an absolute blast at our session and I’ve never been so in love with pictures of us. She captured the connection we have so perfectly. If you are looking for a photographer that will capture as you are and not make you look all stiff and awkward, I highly recommend Lauren.
