"I Highly Highly Recommend"
“We hired Payton for our intimate wedding in Tahoe and she was BEYOND amazing!!! She was responsive, punctual, and most of all, a professional photographer with quality work!! She knew what moments to capture and translated it into such beautiful photos! To top it all off, she was so nice and sweet, she even gave some of my family a ride when we had to change locations. I couldn’t be happier that I stumbled upon her work. If you choose to work with her I promise you won’t regret it!! I can’t say this enough but she and her work are amazing!! ”
