Best Photographer Ever.

Atalie is so incredibly attentive, professional, and TALENTED!!!! Our pictures still have me in tears. I created a shot inspiration deck and she made sure we captured every moment. Not only did Atalie (and her amazing second shooter, Barbara) get all of the traditional shots, but she also caught SO many candids that are honestly my favorite!!! Thank you Atalie for doing us the honor of shooting the best day of our lives!

I can't say enough good things about working with Atalie. She really took the time to get to know us during the planning process which made our experience with her on our big day feel easy, stress-free and perfectly tailored to us as a couple.

Loved working with Atalie!

Atalie was so wonderful to work with and you can tell she truly cares about her clients. She was professional and went above and beyond to make our pictures special! She brought her own decor that added beauty to the details shots, and brought parasols for the bridesmaids which made for some really cute group shots. The pictures were stunning and she was so quick- I got over 300 within 3 days after the wedding. I highly recommend her for wedding photography.

New Years Eve Wedding!

Atalie was everything we wanted in a wedding photographer. She had the perfect attitude and demeanor for our wedding. She was kind, professional and went above and beyond to make us feel at ease. During our consultations she was able to provide feedback and assisted us with different logistics of our wedding day. She made sure to capture our vision and our style of photos. Atalie was always very communicative and responds to emails in a timely manner, she answered all of my questions and never made me feel bad for asking. She worked incredibly hard and prepared ahead of time by visiting our venues to be sure she would get the perfect angles on the wedding day. Atalie captured so many beautiful moments between my husband and I; she also was able to capture great pictures of all the people who attended our wedding. The photos are timeless and tell the story of our day. Atalie made everyone feel at ease and natural behind the camera. We loved working with her, her calming presence really made all the difference and kept us relaxed on our wedding day. Atalie worked really well with the other vendors; I received so many compliments about her from my other vendors. Atalie also impressed us by giving us a lot of preview pictures from the wedding day within 48 hours! This was amazing to have something to look at and enjoy until the full album was ready. We will cherish our wedding photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you Atalie!

Unforgettable Wedding Photography: A Truly Dedicated Professional

We recently worked with Atalie Payne for our daughter's wedding and couldn't be happier. She was incredibly easy to work with, and her attention to detail was remarkable.

She made it a point to get to know the couple personally, which allowed her to capture their true essence in every shot. It was clear that she genuinely cared about telling their story through her photography. Always on the move with a smile, she never sat down and ensured no moment was missed.

The stunning photos have given us treasured memories we will cherish forever. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer!

Wedding & Engagement Photos

Atalie shot our wedding and engagement and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, she was responsive, professional, and truly invested in understanding our vision. She took the time to get to know us and tailored everything to fit our style perfectly.

On our wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable and captured every special moment effortlessly. She has a true gift for photographing candid moments in the most natural and beautiful way. I was able to fully enjoy my day without feeling like I had to constantly pose or be pulled away, yet she was always there in the background, capturing it all.

The turnaround time for our photos was incredibly fast, and we were absolutely blown away by the results. Every image was stunning, and we will cherish them forever. She is also so pleasant to be around and truly made us feel at ease. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also a joy to work with, we highly recommend her!

Timeless Memories Captured by Atalie

Choosing our photographer was one of the most important decisions we made for our wedding celebration, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation, Atalie made us feel at ease and truly understood our vision. She went above and beyond in the lead-up to our wedding, preparing thoughtfully for every detail, and her dedication to making our day perfect was clear from the start.

Atalie captured every moment so beautifully, from the candid laughter to the heartfelt vows, and everything in between. Our photos tell the perfect story of our day—each shot feels timeless and authentic. We are so grateful for the way she made us feel completely comfortable and natural in front of the camera, allowing us to truly be ourselves.

Her ability to capture the emotion of the day, the little moments, and the big ones, speaks volumes about her talent and passion. The love and care she put into each shot was evident, and it truly shows in the final images. Our photos aren’t just pictures—they’re treasured memories we’ll cherish forever.

Atalie’s attention to detail, creativity, and the warmth she brought to our wedding went far beyond our expectations. She ensured that everything was perfect and her calming presence helped us feel at ease throughout the day. Thank you, Atalie, for giving us lasting memories we’ll look back on with love for the rest of our lives!

Amazing Experience!

Atalie and Barbara did an amazing job for our wedding! The entire process was very smooth, and everything was well-communicated. Atalie was very accommodating and even came to our rehearsal so she could locate the best spots to take pictures during our wedding ceremony at our church! The pictures were amazing and timeless, and Atalie did a great job capturing memorable moments during the ceremony, our independent photoshoot after the ceremony, and at our reception! Atalie is responsive, friendly, and very easy to work with and made our wedding day feel extra special! We highly recommend her!!!

Fantastic wedding photographer

Atalie was an absolute joy to work with. We booked her for an engagement session + our small wedding ceremony. She is super friendly, professional and, most importantly, was able to perfectly capture the love of my wife and I. She has a keen eye for color, setting, and framing, with a clean style and no over processing. She was visibly excited to capture great moments for us and went the extra mile to get the "perfect shot"; her passion for her craft and clientele is apparent.

Our sets turned out even better than we could have hoped for and we received them very quickly. Her rates were also the most reasonable out of the few photographers we contacted. We will absolutely recommend Atalie to family and friends and will reach out in the future for our photography needs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
