Your wedding photography should feel as unforgettable as the day itself—filled with emotion, depth, and those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that make it yours. My approach blends editorial artistry with real, heartfelt storytelling—so you get the iconic, cinematic shots and the quiet, unscripted moments in between. With a mix of film and digital photography, I create images that feel nostalgic yet modern, timeless yet full of life. Whether you're celebrating in a historic estate, a backyard under the stars, or halfway across the world, I’m here to capture it with care, intention, and an eye for the details that matter most.

Skyler has been nothing short of an absolute dream to work with! She shot our engagement photos, wedding photos, and a boudoir shoot. She has been incredibly kind and caring, even taking the time to reach out to us after we were hit by Helene. Her work is beautiful!! She was willing to adapt to the different styles we were wanting to try out for our pictures, and we were so, so pleased by every single photo. She was extremely communicative, punctual, and somebody we felt like we could trust throughout the craziness of getting married. She was worth every. single. penny! I am so grateful that we were able to not only get such great pictures of one of the biggest days for us, but that we got to meet Skyler and her husband in the process :-) I’m already scheming up reasons to have another photoshoot!!

Our experience with MSMP MEDIA LLC as our wedding photographers was absolutely fantastic. They provided light, romantic and artistic photography that captured all the special moments of our big day, and the turn around on images was also surprising! Despite some communication issues due to a change in our wedding planner, the MSMP MEDIA team was incredibly flexible and adaptable. They got creative with unique shots while also following our lead and going with the flow. Even without the typical shot list or knowledge of our wedding party (our fault entirely), they seamlessly pulled off the photography and didn't miss a beat.

She makes us feel so comfortable posing in front of the camera, and the images and emotions she captures are beautiful.

As a wife and recent Bride, I constantly look back at my wedding day gallery from my photographer. I would say at least once every couple of months! What I love about my wedding photos is that I can remember the day just by looking at those photos. I want that for YOU!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashlyn & her team are absolute rockstars! They were a true highlight of my day and went above and beyond to help in any way possible and make everything stress-free and fun. We had an outdoor wedding and it was a very windy day and her and the team would help out in moments that weren’t even their responsibility. She had amazing communication leading up to the wedding, during the day, and afterwards. She delivered our photos quickly and posted the most amazing content leading up to the gallery delivery. She also made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured a lot of cute candids that are so special to see after the day is over. I cannot recommend Sea Shea enough. This is a vendor I truly could not have lived without! Not only are the photos 10/10 amazing but the experience of working with someone who really cares about your day and takes the time to get to know you makes all the difference. I felt a connection to her and the team and they saved my windy chaotic wedding day! You can tell they love what they do by how much fun they exude and the photos that they deliver.

For a very long time, I shot as only a hobbyist. I enjoy beautiful images. I enjoy the creative outlet. I enjoy people and their stories. But, when I finally decided to leap into photography professionally, I discovered passion. Capturing your day is truly my passion! When I'm not shooting, I think about shooting and shots I want to try. You deserve someone as passionate about your story as you are for each other.

I needed headshots for my new business and she was so hands on. She assisted in the location based on my vibe and asked questions to really understand what I was looking for. I was impressed by her attention to detail with my outfit choices even down to jewelry. She has a great eye and I love my final result! She’s also just a sweet human who will ease your mind, it’s like a friend taking your photo:) I would recommend 10/10!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.

I began this journey several years ago inspired by all the little moments going on around me. Photography has become one way I can express myself creatively while freezing a moment in time. I'm especially drawn to documentary & lifestyle photography as I love how natural the emotions are in the photos. There is a story to be told & I look forward to helping capture it on film.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started wedding planning in late 2023 for our wedding in October 2024, I was seriously panicking thinking about all the different vendors we’d need to book. I knew we needed a photographer who was pretty flexible since we lived out of town from where we were planning the wedding, and that was Brandi to a T!! She was recommended by our wedding planner and I could not be more glad we chose her. She’s personable, kind, helpful, and an amazing photographer. She did our engagement shoot as well, and perfectly captured the spooky vibes we were going for and recommended the coolest photography venue to do them at. On the day of the wedding, she captured every moment so well with her second shooter, Valerie, and I’m so grateful to now have an entire album of beautiful wedding photos to look back on. She even sat down with my young nephew on the wedding day and let him take a few pictures with her camera. Just the sweetest person- I can’t recommend Brandi enough!!!

We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures!

I pour my heart into every photo I take, blending a classic style with a unique touch. People inspire the stories I tell, and to truly understand a story, you need to know the people behind it. Each person brings a fresh perspective on love and life. Without the wonderful individuals in front of my lens, my photos lose their meaning and authenticity. I’m here to not just capture your story, but to tell it beautifully. That’s why I love photography.

Jordan has been my husband and my photographer since the beginning! Our first photo shoot was over a decade ago, she also photographed our wedding and those photos we look through often over the years! In the last decade of knowing Jordan, her skills only increase and I am always so happy with our photos! She is very professional while also being kind and genuine in everything she does. Absolutely recommend her for any event!

Hey y'all, I'm so happy you are here! I'm Payton. I'm based in Asheville, NC but will travel to wherever your love takes you. When I'm not on a photoshoot I'm either traveling, hiking, or spending time with my family. I have been a photographer for 10 years and photographing weddings for 5. I have a BFA in Photography from RMCAD. I LOVE getting to know you and helping you plan out every minute detail of your wedding day. My passion is capturing the essence of my couple's love, every story is uniquely you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Payton was a hidden gem that I found through an intense Instagram/Facebook search for a wedding photographer. I was starting to get discouraged with the outrageous pricing of some of the big name photographers in the Birmingham, AL area and disappointed with the gallery examples of some of the cheaper options. When she messaged me back, her rates are so reasonable and affordable and her Instagram really shows how vibrant and dreamy her previous galleries have turned out. I felt like I could really trust her with capturing our special memories, I was right. Prior to the wedding, she sent out a questionnaire asking about our photography priorities and mindset. Also recently she started including an engagement session when you book her for a wedding package!! A steal! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience with a Payton. She also is a traveling queen, so if you’re not in Birmingham, AL, don’t be discouraged!
