Incredibly talented and a joy to work with

I couldn't recommend Joe Payne more highly for wedding photography! He is an incredibly talented photographer who has mastered lighting and framing. I especially loved his incredible shots of my wedding veil blowing in the wind (with a little help)! He also did a great job capturing facial expressions and special little moments throughout the day. I felt like I could relax on my wedding day because I trusted him to do a fantastic job, and I was thrilled with my photos.

Incredible Photography

Joe and his assistant did a phenomenal job capturing our special day. We got married at Duke Gardens, and Joe knows the gardens inside and out - he brought us to the most beautiful bridge for our first look and took incredible photos of us in the bamboo forest and in front of the fountain. Additionally, our ceremony photos with the foliage were beyond what I could have imagined. I especially valued Joe's ability to capture the special, un-posed moments that happened throughout the day and somehow find or provide incredible lighting for all of them. For posed photos, my now-husband especially appreciated Joe's careful direction on how to stand and what to do with his hands.
We feel so lucky that we were able to work with Joe and highly recommend him for anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Great experience!

Joe was 1000% one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. He works hard, is incredibly kind and absolutely knows what he is doing with the light. He is an artist. Our engagement photos were stunning. I never worried about rain on our wedding day because I knew joe could navigate any situation and take truly beautiful photos of our wedding (which he did). His photos captured many important moments from our wedding that will help us remember our special day.
