A.I’m based in San Diego and Michigan, but I absolutely love traveling for weddings. Destination weddings are some of my favorite celebrations to document. If you’re planning a wedding somewhere special, I would love to hear about it.

A.Once you decide you’d like to move forward, I’ll send over a contract and retainer invoice. Your date is officially reserved once the contract is signed and the retainer is paid.

Because I only take a limited number of weddings each year, dates are booked on a first-come basis.

A.Yes. Your online gallery allows you to download your images, share them with family and friends, and print them wherever you’d like.

You’ll also have access to a professional print shop directly through your gallery.

A.For my 10 hour weddings I work alongside my husband as my second photographer, which allows us to capture multiple moments happening at the same time. This is especially helpful during getting ready, the ceremony, and the reception when there are lots of beautiful moments happening all at once.

A.My husband and i are the only photographers you will be seeing on your wedding day. If you would like to meet him, you are more them welcome. please inform me before our meeting.

A.My style is true-to-color, documentary, and timeless. I focus on capturing real moments as they naturally unfold while still giving gentle direction when needed so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

The goal is to create images that feel authentic and will look just as beautiful years from now as they do today.

A.You’ll receive a sneak peek gallery within 24 hours after your wedding so you can relive the excitement and share with friends and family.

Your full gallery is typically delivered within 8-10 weeks, carefully edited and ready for you to download, share, and print.

A.One of the biggest things that sets Paxton Wedding Photography apart is the level of care that goes into every gallery.

I personally hand-edit every single photo that I deliver. I don’t rely on presets or automated AI filters. Each image is individually adjusted to make sure colors, skin tones, and lighting look natural and timeless. This allows your gallery to feel polished, consistent, and truly reflective of the day.

Couples also receive a sneak peek gallery within 24 hours of their wedding. I know how excited everyone is to relive the day and share photos with friends and family, so I always prioritize delivering a preview right away.

Another unique part of the experience is that I work alongside my husband on many weddings. Because we are a husband-and-wife team, we know exactly how each other works and communicate seamlessly throughout the day. This means you aren’t getting a random second shooter, you’re getting someone I trust completely and have personally trained.

Together we capture multiple perspectives of the day while still keeping the experience relaxed and fun for our couples.

Most importantly, I truly care about documenting the people and generations present on your wedding day. From grandparents to kids on the dance floor, those moments often become the memories couples cherish the most years later.

A.Yes! Before the wedding I’ll send you a family photo questionnaire so we can create a smooth and organized list. This helps family portraits move quickly so you can get back to celebrating with your guests.

A.Some of the most romantic photos happen in unexpected weather! I always come prepared with backup plans and location ideas so we can still create beautiful images no matter what the day brings. We will be in contact before the wedding to make a good plane to make sure your day runs smoothly.

A.My 8-hour collection is perfect for couples who want the main parts of their wedding day documented in a simple and beautiful way. This collection includes one photographer (me!) and focuses on the most important moments like getting ready, the ceremony, family portraits, couple portraits, and part of the reception.

My 10-hour collection is my most popular option because it allows us to capture the entire story of your wedding day from beginning to end. With more time and a second photographer, we are able to document more moments happening throughout the day.

The 10-hour collection also includes:

• Two photographers (a husband-and-wife team)
• Drone coverage when allowed by the venue and location
• A short highlight wedding film capturing the emotion and energy of the day

Having two photographers means we can capture multiple perspectives at once, for example one photographer documenting the bride getting ready while the other captures the groom and guests arriving.

The additional time also allows for a more relaxed schedule, sunset portraits, and more reception coverage so we can fully document the celebration with your family and friends.

For couples who want their entire wedding story captured, the 10-hour collection tends to be the best fit.
