ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Payton, the heart behind With You Always Photography! I’m a wedding and portrait photographer with a deep love for capturing timeless, joy-filled moments. My journey started when I stumbled upon a forgotten camera, and it quickly became my passion. I married my best friend, Alex, in July 2022, and we welcomed our sweet daughter, Evelyn, in December 2024. Our family’s faith in Jesus is at the core of everything we do. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me homemaking—cooking, baking, decorating, and hosting loved ones in our cozy home. I also have an intense love for thrifting and finding antique furniture on Facebook Marketplace. My absolute favorite part of a wedding day? Bridal portraits—there’s nothing like capturing that radiant, once-in-a-lifetime glow. I can’t wait to tell your story through my lens!

How we got here... With You Always Photography began in the fall of 2022, all thanks to a forgotten Sony camera collecting dust. After moving in with my new husband, I stumbled upon his untouched, long-neglected camera and had a spontaneous thought - what if I could do something with this? That simple moment sparked a passion, and here we are today—capturing love, laughter, and life’s most beautiful moments, one photo at a time.

A Follower of Jesus, Wife, Mother, and your next Photographer...
