Meet Them
Behind The Lens
Emily Lauren photographs joyful couples across Western North Carolina from her Waynesville home base, candid, natural moments over stiff poses, with emotional storytelling at the center. She has shot that way since 2016.
Featured on The Knot and Style Me Pretty, she brings a faith-centered heart to the work, and often her mother as an assistant, making the whole experience feel like family.
Why We Love Working Together
Straight From The Dow Oak Team
“Emily's mountain weddings glow with the same joy she brings to them. She is flexible, communicative, and completely unflappable when mountain weather does mountain things. We love a Waynesville wedding with her on the team.”
When We Team Up
Two Vendors, One Unforgettable Day
The photographer catches the moment, and the DJ creates it. When Emily is shooting and Dow Oak is building the dance floor, the night fills with real moments worth framing. That is the whole recipe.
