Just Engaged? Work With a Destination Wedding & Elopement Photographer Who Believes in Magic

There’s something sacred about being newly engaged.

It’s the in-between season. The dreaming season. The “holy crap we’re doing this” season.

If you’re here, chances are you’re recently engaged and searching for:

• A Virginia wedding photographer
• A Tennessee elopement photographer
• A destination wedding photographer
• Or someone who feels less like a vendor… and more like your person.

Hi. I’m Emily, owner of Emily Lauren Photography, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Virginia and Tennessee, traveling nationwide for 2026 and 2027 weddings.

And if you want photos that feel like your favorite song — the one that gives you chills every time — you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.

Whether you’re planning a full wedding weekend or an intimate elopement, I travel for couples who want something intentional, emotional, and wildly beautiful.

Virginia Wedding Photographer & Elopement Photographer

From the Blue Ridge Mountains to vineyard weddings and romantic garden venues, Virginia weddings are timeless and ethereal.

If you’re planning:

• A Shenandoah National Park elopement
• A Southwest Virginia mountain wedding
• A luxury vineyard wedding in Virginia
• A fairytale forest ceremony

I specialize in romantic, cinematic wedding photography in Virginia that feels nostalgic and editorial all at once.
