Let's elope!
The idea of a 150-guest wedding, with 14 bridal party members and every 'must-do' wedding event, makes you feel 'bleh.'
Instead, you dream of savoring a quiet sunrise in a canoe with coffee, off-roading with the wind in your hair, exploring hidden waterfalls, or exchanging vows on a mountaintop with your best furry friend(s).
This day is yours to fill with what matters most. Ditch the traditional wedding rules and embrace what makes your hearts sing.
But now that you’ve started planning, you might realize that even though you’re eloping, there’s still a lot to organize. You’re not sure where to begin—after all, you’ve never eloped before, and it’s starting to stress you out.

FOR THE earthy, adventurous, and wildly in love
Get to know me more
I'm a Minnesota, Washington, and Alaska elopement photographer. I know it's cliché to say, but I really did grow up with a camera in my hands. Through my work, I combine my love for travel and photography to capture beautiful and intimate elopement moments in breathtaking locations around the world.
My goal is to make your elopement experience magical, capturing the true essence of your unique love story with authentic and heartfelt imagery. My style combines earthy, intimate vibes with unscripted moments, resulting in photos that tell a beautiful story.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me exploring coffee shops, hiking, or camping with my wonderful husband Kevin. I’m most at home in the forest or on the water, often with a cozy blanket and a coffee in hand. I absolutely love gathering around a fire pit with my favorite people, and I have a huge soft spot for dogs and love stories—yours especially!

“I’m so glad we chose Payton to be our wedding photographer! She did a wonderful job capturing our day. She was very professional throughout the whole process. Communication was never an issue, she uses her resources when needed but mostly she has a very clear way of showing exactly what she is communicating. Payton is very open and receptive to feedback and input. She has skills of a well seasoned photographer without the extreme price tag. We would hire her again without question!!”
