“If you are looking to book with someone who is incredibly kind and extremely talented with their work, I highly recommend booking with Clayton. You can see the passion he has for photography in his art and what he captures is truly beautiful! Honestly, just working with Clayton was the easiest part of my wedding planning.

FAQ

Do you offer engagement sessions?

Absolutely! Often engagement sessions are added to our wedding packages, but we also offer this as an a la carte service starting at $1000 for a 90-minute session and approximately 100+ images.

How do we see your detailed pricing?

Message or email me to start the conversation, and I'll send you a complete inquiry guide with all the details.

How do we book your services?

Once we confirm availability and discuss details, and you'll receive a custom invoice and contract for review. A $1000 deposit is due upon signing of the contract; this reserves your date for Lux Everlasting services.

How many images will we receive?

Final image count can vary based on guest count, timeline, and other details. For digital photography most couples receive about 800+ images, with modern full wedding days resulting in 1000+ images.

When can we expect our images?

Your Signature Set (a collection of my personal favorites) will be delivered in about 1 week! The remaining images will be delivered in about 4-6 weeks. All videography is delivered within 4-12 weeks.

How do we get our images?

For digital photography, your images will be delivered digitally via your own personal online website. This gallery will be available online for one year. Please note though, with our Archival Backup service, I will keep a copy of all your final images for safekeeping in case you need to re-download them.

How do you describe your style?

My photography style is candid, artful, and real. Every image will be captured in a way that is artistically done, yet true to the moment.
My professional style is a concierge-level of service paired with friendly confidence. Whether it's in the time leading up to the day or the day of, I know when to make requests and when to fade away into the background.

"Clayton made understanding the photography process very easy and helped to make you feel comfortable throughout the day! You don't even realize he's there for the candid shots. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, easy going and overall pleasant photographer for their day!"
