"My husband and I had a BLAST working with Payton!!! She made everything so so easy. She is truly an all in one photographer, elopement planner, and adventurer. Whatever your dream is she can definitely make it happen! She found us the most amazing places to take photos in Olympic park. She helped us so much throughout it all and made it easy for us to get all of our permits. Communication throughout the whole process was amazing too we worked on a very short (two month) timeline and she was always checking in to make sure we were on track to have everything squared away before out day! We are also both hearing and do not know ASL but communication was so easy! Payton captured every moment we could have wanted and more! We would 1000% recommend Payton to be your elopement photographer. She made it so easy for us to just be ourselves. Our family was with us as well and she really just blended in with everyone and nothing was ever awkward. She really makes you feel comfortable and like it is all about you and your day! My husband and I had so much fun walking on trails and exploring different spots with her and it felt so natural and like it was just us going on about our day! Payton is so amazing at what she does and I will forever be thankful for her capturing the best day of our lives! She truly made all of our dreams come true!"

Do we need to worry about permits?
What if the weather is bad?
We’re awkward in front of the camera—will that be a problem?
How do we plan a timeline for the day?
Can we bring our dog to our elopement?
Totally! You can always move up to a bigger package. If you’re not sure how many hours you’ll need, start with less and we’ll bump it up once your timeline feels right.

Weather is part of the story, not a problem to fix. I plan every elopement with flexibility in mind and keep the day before and after your elopement open whenever possible so we can adjust if needed at no extra cost. Rain, fog, and changing skies often lead to some of the most emotional and unforgettable moments. Together, we’ll embrace whatever the day brings and make it meaningful.

Not at all! My approach is laid-back and natural, focusing on genuine interactions between you and your partner. I’ll give you light direction so you feel comfortable, but I’ll also step back to capture the candid moments.

That’s part of my job. I’ll work with you to design a stress-free timeline that includes travel time, scenic spots, lighting considerations, and plenty of breaks so you can just be present and enjoy.

Yes, please! I’m always excited when couples include their pups in their day. I can help you choose dog-friendly locations, share tips for keeping them comfortable during the ceremony, and of course, make sure you get adorable photos. And yes—your dog will get plenty of head scratches from me.
