Looking for a day where the photos are fun (not dreaded), weird ideas are always a yes, and your photos never look like anyone else’s? You’re in the right place.
I love finding the spark in ordinary moments and places and showing you the love and magic that you radiate without even realizing it.
In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “It’s not about what you look at. It’s what you see.” I believe in photographing those little things you might not even notice that capture your flow as a couple. The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles, goosebumps. There’s nothing more beautiful and fascinating to me than the pure joy, excitement, and comfort of two people wildly in love.
There’s no need for perfect poses, perfect weather, perfect outfits, or a perfect location to capture the perfect memory. It’s about a snapshot in time - those photos that allow you to hold a feeling in your hands.
"...She captured such incredible moments from our wedding day, including right to the very end of our after party. She was dancing, smiling, and snapping away and ensured we could look back and remember those special moments. Some photographers could have or may have left.. but she stayed til the very end which is a testament to how hard working, professional and talented she is.
Since then we have utilized Paytn’s talents to capture even more special moments in our lives... including the announcement of our newborn baby girl Paytn Lynn (can you tell we love her a lot?). Basically… we would recommend Paytn with ZERO hesitation and believe fully in her work and vision."
"Our time together was an immediate hit. Aside from being talented in her work, which is just flat out obvious, Paytn is an absolute joy to be around. We hit it off right away that morning. She easily handled 8 groomsmen that had already consumed too many drinks at 11am. I am an amateur in photography myself so my knowledge is weak but my taste for what I want and what I like is strong. She held up to every question/comment I hit her with and assured me that what she was doing, even in the moment, was calculated and my vision was understood. I trusted her and she didn't let me down..."
"...I totally forgot we were taking photos and was able to just enjoy my partner and the moment. Paytn has a way of capturing intimacy in such a special and profound way. We will treasure these images forever."
"Our steamy session with Paytn was probably the most fun I had all 2022. I felt so comfortable with her energy, and she created such a safe and fun environment to really be ourselves and enjoy our session..."
"...10/10 would recommend her to a friend. Heck I’d even hire her to travel to shoot couples photos for us in Italy if I were you. Don’t sleep on 'Til Death."
"Working with Paytn was amazing. She’s put together, experienced, and thoughtful about her angles and craft. She traveled into NYC to work with my husband and I and we both walked away from our time with her so pleased. The energy is organic, the shoot is fun, and the photos are unreal..."
Cue the music, pop a bottle, go exploring, dance in the desert, get comfortable, do your thang. I’ll provide prompts to help you get comfortable (no need to worry about what to do with your hands), but mostly we’ll just hang out and let the magic happen.
It’s not just about the day you show up for photos. We’ll start working together from day one to provide insights, resources, location ideas, planning tips, and timelines so that when you get to your wedding or session date, you’ll get to live fully in the moment.
