About this business
Thru the Lens Wedding & Event Photography
Thru the Lens Wedding & Event Photography captures weddings, intimate ceremonies and milestone events throughout Western North Carolina. Led by photographer Emilee, the business is built around a warm, personal approach that helps couples relax, feel confident and remain present while their story unfolds naturally in front of the camera.
As a wife and mother of three boys, Emilee understands how quickly meaningful moments pass. Her goal is to preserve those moments in photographs couples can return to long after the flowers have faded and the last song has played.
A relaxed, personal photography experience
Feeling comfortable with a photographer can make an enormous difference in how wedding images look and feel. Emilee’s approach begins with helping each couple feel at ease, both in front of the camera and in their own skin. Rather than making the photography experience feel stiff or overly formal, she works to create an environment where genuine personalities, emotions and connections can come through.
This supportive approach makes Thru the Lens Wedding & Event Photography a welcoming choice for couples who may feel nervous about being photographed or simply want their wedding gallery to reflect who they really are. From portraits of the couple to the reactions, laughter and quieter exchanges happening throughout the celebration, Emilee focuses on creating images that feel personal and worth holding onto.
When she isn’t photographing Asheville weddings and events, Emilee enjoys spending time with her family, fishing, attending car shows and going to drag races. Her down-to-earth personality carries into the way she works with couples – friendly, approachable and ready to share in the excitement of the day.
PORTFOLIO
Western North Carolina wedding photography packages
Thru the Lens Wedding & Event Photography offers three wedding packages designed for different celebrations, timelines and budgets.
The Opal Moment begins at $475 and is created for intimate weddings, including courthouse ceremonies, small chapel weddings and quiet outdoor elopements. Coverage also includes a nearby location for timeless portraits of the newlyweds.
Beginning at $775, the Sapphire Ceremony package offers broader wedding-day storytelling. It includes ceremony coverage, family and couple portraits and reception highlights, preserving more of the laughter, emotion and connection shared throughout the day.
The Diamond Legacy package begins at $1,200 and provides full-day wedding coverage, from the getting-ready preparations through the reception. The package includes an engagement session before the wedding, detail photographs, ceremony coverage, candid moments, family portraits, couple portraits and reception coverage. It is designed for couples who want the complete story of their celebration documented from beginning to end.
Photography for intimate and full-day weddings
Whether a couple is exchanging vows privately at a courthouse, gathering loved ones for a small outdoor ceremony or planning a traditional full-day celebration, this WNC wedding photographer offers an option suited to the occasion.
The range of packages also allows couples to choose the moments that matter most to them rather than paying for coverage they do not need. Those planning a smaller wedding can still receive thoughtfully composed portraits, while couples hosting a larger celebration can have everything from the morning preparations to the reception documented.
Preserve the moments that feel like you
Thru the Lens Wedding & Event Photography is ideal for couples looking for a Western North Carolina wedding photographer who values comfort, connection and honest emotion. With flexible coverage for intimate ceremonies and complete wedding days, Emilee helps couples turn meaningful moments into a lasting visual record of the people, feelings and details that made their celebration their own.
