Forget about the typical wedding
expectations—what matters most is your happiness, your vision, and the memories you’ll make together. If you’re tired of seeing the same wedding over and over again and want something that’s completely unique, we’re already on the same page.

When you work with me, I’ll help you dream up a day that’s all about what you want, encouraging you to prioritize yourselves and design an unforgettable adventure together.

Imagine a day when the wind catches the edge of your dress, lifting it gently as you take slow steps along the rugged coastline. Your partner’s eyes are locked on you—soft, full of love, maybe even a little in awe. There’s no rush, no noise, just the steady rhythm of the waves rolling in and the distant call of a seabird. A drop of water clings to a wildflower nearby, catching the light like a tiny piece of magic. You breathe in, feeling the weight of the moment, the stillness wrapping around you like a quiet embrace.

And I’m there—not just capturing how it all looks, but how it feels. As a deaf photographer, I experience the world differently—through the movement of the wind, the quiet exchanges between you, the way light dances across the landscape. I’ll guide you into the kind of presence that lets you truly listen to your surroundings, to each other, to the emotions that don’t need words. Your love deserves to be felt, deeply and fully—and that’s exactly how I’ll capture it.

If you’re ready for something different,
this is your moment:

let’s create a wedding experience that truly reflects you.

"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!"
