"Payton is an incredibly talented photographer and a wonderful human. Our session with her was absolute magic. She created such a comfortable and fun environment. Leading up to the session she got to know us and communicated consistently so we felt prepared. The photos came back quickly and I am still in awe of how she seemingly captured our personalities in the photos. I highly recommend Payton to all!"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What if we don’t know where to elope?
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?
That’s totally fine! Most of my couples come to me with a vibe in mind rather than a specific location. I’ll help you narrow it down by suggesting epic locations based on your vision, preferred scenery, and any accessibility needs.

One of the best parts of eloping is the flexibility. I always create a backup plan (or two) so we can pivot and still create something magical—rain, snow, fog, or sunshine.

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.

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.
