About

Layton Photography is a husband and wife owned comapny that specializes in a photojournalistic style of both wedding and lifestyle photography. Our focus is on the moment and the true emotion behind whatever subject we photograph.  This allows for a unique perspective on each wedding day or any portrait session. With over 15 years of experience in the industry and 8 years as a comapny we have developed a product that releases a portion of the creative touch to our clients. By allowing our clients to purchase the digital files they are able to use the photographs in a way that fits their specific needs and budget. It is our goal to built a lasting relationship with each of our clients.

Tips and Advice
Your wedding day is an extraordinary event in your life and it deserves to be documented and preserved in a way that you will be proud of for generations to come. If there is one area that should not be over looked it is the memories captured thru your photographs. So think twice about having your cousin or uncle or workmate shoot your wedding and trust your memories to a professional. Work with someone that fits your needs both style and personality, you will spend the most time with your photographer than any other vendor, they become friends by the end of the evening and that deserves some serious consideration. Choose a photographer who is willing to provide a product and service that meets your individual needs. Remember...have fun the day of your wedding...if it's not happeing your photographer can't capture it!
