She's a Red Sox hat and a slice of homemade apple pie. She's a New England Fall and a Southern sunset. Northern-raised and Southern-dwelling, Lauren Rosenau, is one of the leading creative lifestyle and wedding photographers in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.
Lauren's work has been featured in multiple publications, including "The Knot", "DIY Weddings Magazine", and "Rolling Stone". Remember the way things were. Let's tell your story.
Here is a little of Lauren's story.
Remember this lil’ guy from last year? Oh, how’s he grown! Such a curious, happy little guy. I love him…

When we met Elena & John for the first time, we were in downtown Matthews sipping margaritas and got to know a little bit about their story. We discussed a unique location for their engagement session, and when they mentioned that they met while on a Dragon Boat racing team, we knew we HAD to do their session on Lake Norman, where they met!

When we met Sandie & Chris back in October for their Apple Orchard engagement session, I immediately fell in love with their personalities, humor, and love for each other. We met for coffee, got to know each other a little bit, and spent the afternoon roaming the quiet streets of Hickory, NC for their engagement session before they headed home to Texas. We were SO looking forward to seeing Sandie & Chris at their wedding after all those months- it felt like a reunion (a really well-decorated, perfectly lit, beautifully orchestrated, amazingly styled, reunion).

GAH!!! I LOVE THIS COUPLE!
Every inch of this wedding from Lauren’s timeless style to the family & friend-filled reception (complete with salted caramel brownies from Amelie’s French Bakery in Charlotte, which they ceremoniously cut in lieu of a cake..MY FAVE!). This wedding was swoon-worthy. Read More »
Engagement sessions are the perfect time for any couple to get comfortable in front of the camera, while doing something they love to do together. I always ask my couples, “What do you love doing together? On a typical Friday night, where would you be? What’s some place special, or something unique about your love story, that would really help you relax and enjoy being together?” Read More »
Engagement sessions are the perfect time for any couple to get comfortable in front of the camera, while doing something they love to do together. I always ask my couples, “What do you love doing together? On a typical Friday night, where would you be? What’s some place special, or something unique about your love story, that would really help you relax and enjoy being together?” When I asked Rebecca these exact questions, her response got me all excited.

I LOVE love; and, I love breakfast. And….so do these two. In fact, their love started over eggs and a cup o’ coffee. Read More »
Most brides and grooms wake up the day of their wedding a little frazzled, a little stressed, and a little busied; but, Sarah & Joe? Nah.

After almost a week of early mornings and late nights at WPPI (an insane trade show/conference for wedding & portrait photographers,) my dear friend and fellow photographer, Alicia, and I tagged on a few extra days to our trip. We wanted to scope out the sights, lose $20 in slot machines, and get lost in all that is Vegas. Read More »
There. Are. No. Words. ..for how much I love these two. Read More »
Hayley & Jess are quite possibly one of the most in-love couples I’ve ever spent time with. We decided to do their engagement session in Asheville, NC, simply because we all loved the colors and vibe of Asheville. Read More »
Cheale is a pretty amazing woman. And, Fredy? Yea- I love him, too. When Cheale & Fredy get some time to themselves, they like to escape to Amelie’s French Bakery in NoDa for some late-night giggles and french pastries (that’s my kinda date!). So, only seemed fitting that we start their session at Amelie’s to escape the rain for a bit. Read More »
Jordan & Luke are having a rustic/country wedding in May in Raleigh, NC (which we CANNOT wait to photograph!), and wanted the same feel for their engagement session. Worn, red wood. Tall grass. Sun flare. A GORGEOUS couple. Love. GAH. I was a total sucker for this engagement session. Read More »

No words can describe how much I love these two! Read More »
Sometimes I just get really excited (and overly caffeinated…thanks, afternoon latte from Amelie‘s). So… I couldn’t help but post a few of my favorite shots from today’s engagement session. Read More »
Cheale is undoubtedly caring, generous, and kind-hearted. Cheale & Fredy have such a beautiful love story, and one of the sweetest, most precious little girls I’ve ever met- Sydney. Read More »
Two things Sarah and Mark told me when we first met was “We’re kinda shy,” and “We want pictures uptown”. Read More »
April rocks lime green cowboy boots, while Brian rocks his ginger-’stache. We love these two. Read More »
Sandie and Chris met in college, and their love has taken them from the hills of North Carolina all the way to Houston, Texas where Sandie works for probably my most favorite store in the world- ANTHROPOLOGIE, and Chris for Toshiba. Yes. I refer to Sandie as my “Anthro Bride”. She makes my heart happy!
Rachelle and Peter are genuine, fun, soccer-loving, laid-back, and so in love.
WE ARE SO EXCITED!!! We had the privilege of shooting Elizabeth and Blake’s rustic, Tennessee wedding last October for Motion Picture Co, and we’re so happy that their wedding has been featured in DIY Weddings Magazine. Read More »
Elizabeth and Blake wanted a rustic, outdoor wedding- so they decided their family’s farm in Dayton, TN, was just the perfect spot for their ceremony and reception. Read More »

spring, love, and the mountains of NC
Elizabeth & Cameron were married in Blowing Rock, North Carolina- a town nestled in the mountains, just a few miles down the road from Appalachian State University, where they met and fell in love. Read More »
ballet slippers & soccer cleats
Jesse & Brian are the kind of couple you want to get to know. And go on camping trips with. And have over for a Sunday BBQ. And, lucky for me… photograph.
college sweethearts
Elizabeth & Cameron met while attending Appalachian State University, so we felt that spending a beautiful, Fall afternoon, reminiscing around campus was the perfect way to get to know these two. Read More »
