Meet Lauren: Lead Filmmaker & Founder
Hey there! I’m 29, born and raised in a small town in Northern Illinois, but now my family and I have settled in the beautiful outskirts of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Here, I get to combine my love for storytelling with my passion for wedding videography, capturing the most meaningful moments for couples throughout Tennessee and beyond.
I’m a cup-half-full kind of girl. Even through life’s challenges, I try to focus on the positives and not take things too seriously. I’m also detail-oriented—somewhat of a perfectionist to a fault—which plays a big role in my approach to cinematic wedding films.
I’m happiest when I’m outdoors, whether it’s hiking through Tennessee’s scenic trails, tending to my garden, or discovering charming new coffee shops. Authenticity and creativity fuel everything I do, from filmmaking to home projects and even thrifting—because finding hidden gems is always an adventure.
OUR JOURNEY INTO WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY AND PHOTO BOOTHS
how it all started
Growing up, I always had a camera in my hands (I know, it’s cliché). Whether I was capturing the beauty of nature or creating short films and documentaries with my friends, I jumped at every opportunity to bring stories to life through film.
It wasn’t until after college that I realized I could turn my passion into a career. With a degree in Business and an independent spirit, entrepreneurship felt like a natural path. In 2019, I launched Three Cord Studio, starting with photo booth rentals before expanding into wedding videography.
As a hopeless romantic, I fell in love with the wedding industry. There’s something special about being with couples on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. With all the time, effort, and love that goes into planning a wedding, I’m honored to help couples preserve their memories through cinematic wedding films that allow them to relive every moment.
romanticize
your love
story
I believe in romanticizing life — finding beauty in everyday moments and embracing each experience with gratitude and wonder. Seeing the world through a lens of positivity and creativity makes life more meaningful and fulfilling.
The same goes for your wedding day. It’s easy to get caught up in the schedule and details, but at its core, this day is about you and your love story. Be present, soak it all in, and let me handle the rest. I’ll capture the candid moments, personal touches, and heartfelt details that make your wedding uniquely yours.
I love being able to capture a piece of time. Film preserves a moment in it's purest form. Time is so precious and moments pass so quickly, especially the ones you want to hold onto the most. A wedding film will keep those memories and let you relive them all over again.

INTENTION
As a boutique wedding filmmaker, I limit the amount of weddings I commit to in a year to ensure that I can devote ample attention and energy to every film, ensuring it receives the dedication it deserves. I pour my heart into each project, crafting a cinematic, story-driven film that reflects your love story and all the emotions of your wedding day.
"Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm? And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken."
ECCLESIASTES 4:12
"A CORD OF THREE STRANDS IS NOT EASILY BROKEN"
MEANING
BEHIND THE NAME -
You may have seen a cord ceremony performed at weddings, where the bride and groom braid three strands together. This beautiful tradition symbolizes their lives being woven together as they become one.
While it’s sometimes included in non-religious wedding ceremonies, in a Christian wedding, it carries even deeper meaning. The tradition comes from Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, which speaks to the strength of unity: "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not easily broken." In marriage, this represents the power of faith, love, and partnership, emphasizing that when God is at the center, the bond is even stronger.
My faith in Christ is the foundation of everything I do—including my approach to wedding videography. It’s about serving others, capturing love stories with intentionality, and preserving moments that reflect the heart of each couple’s journey. Ecclesiastes 4:12 deeply resonates with me because I’ve seen the impact of faith in marriage, both in my own life and in the lives of the couples I work with. It’s a part of my identity, and that’s why I chose the name Three Cord Studio—to reflect the strength and beauty of a marriage built on faith and love.
