"Because this isn’t just a job to us—it’s a privilege to walk beside you on your most meaningful day."
You’ll feel comfortable, confident, and absolutely beautiful in front of the camera.
We bring calm, confidence, and a sense of peace to your day.
Your photos will feel real, romantic, and full of heart.
Your experience will be fully personalized to your story.
You’ll always feel heard, supported, and clearly guided.
You can trust that every detail is backed up, protected, and professionally handled.
With dual card cameras, multiple backups, insurance, and a second shooter—your memories are in safe hands from start to finish.
You’ll be gently guided without ever feeling pressured.
We’re here to help you make confident choices with ease—never pushy, never salesy—always rooted in what feels right for you.
A wedding video should be more than just pretty clips—it should tell the story of your day in a way that feels cinematic, emotional, and real. From spoken vows and joyful toasts to spontaneous laughter and quiet, meaningful moments, our films help you relive the heart of it all—not just remember it.
We get it—being in front of a camera can feel intimidating. That’s why we guide you with empathy, subtle posing tips, and real encouragement. You’ll never feel stiff or awkward—just beautifully, naturally yourself.
Your wedding isn’t a series of posed images—it’s a living, breathing love story. We capture the big moments, the small glances, and everything in between. From teary parent speeches to the first look, you’ll replay forever, we make sure nothing is missed—even the parts you didn’t get to see in real time.
You’ve dreamed of a wedding that reflects your unique style, and your photos should feel the same. Whether your heart leans toward romantic, timeless, and light-filled (like ours!) or you admire a more moody or dramatic feel, consistency and artistry are key. You’ll never have to guess what your final gallery will look like—it’s all part of the experience we carefully craft.
You deserve a team that shows up early, communicates clearly, and handles every moment with grace. With us, you’ll never have to worry. We’re calm under pressure, fully prepared, and fiercely reliable—because your trust means everything.

We will make your wedding experience as effortless and enjoyable as possible from the moment you book to the final delivery of your beautiful online gallery and wedding album. Take a look at the services we offer below and if you don't see exactly what you are looking for, let me know. I am happy to custom create a package that fits your wedding day needs so we can tell your personal love story.

"Riley-Payton was so personable, answering every single question I had. She made sure I felt comfortable in my own body by giving me a few posing tips. She helped create the day-of schedule including all details before she arrived on scene. We have beautiful, creative, artistic images that provoke so many memories and emotion - all without feeling like our day was focused only on photography.
