“Peyton is the most talented photographer and an incredible human overall. My husband and I planned to marry in October of 2020, but with COVID-19, we scaled down to a micro wedding in August instead. From our engagement shoot to our wedding, Peyton was incredibly flexible. She wasn’t just a hired photographer, showing up to take nice photos, but instead she puts in the time to get to know you, to become a friend, to hear your story, and then reflect that in photographs. Her work is nothing short of pure magic. Each person’s personalities are reflected in every photo. Peyton has such a calming aura, she was SO attentive, yet so relaxed. Her attention to detail shows in each photograph. Her work is authentic, genuine, and most importantly, she has the ability to tell your love story through her work. Not a day has gone by that I haven’t looked at my wedding photos. I will cherish her work and her friendship forever. Her heart and soul is poured into her work and it shows. She’s not just checking off jobs to add to her portfolio, but truly investing her time, her heart, and her talents to make each couple’s love and memories last and shine forever. We love you Peyton!!!”

“Peyton captured our little wedding party along with her husband Jon and they were the absolute sweetest. She was flexible, accommodating and so patient when we were forced to reschedule within 24 hours of our original plans. She was so kind and understanding and was able to reschedule her travel plans for a little love party planned at a later date. She was nonintrusive, keen to intimate moments between us and others and created the most beautiful, ethereal film and digital images that we will forever cherish. Her work is timeless and rooted in the craft of film which creates a slower, more intentional shooting style that makes the subjects feel relaxed and natural. Our family appreciated how kind and sweet both Peyton and John were and their ability to capture our day subtly despite the intimate setting. We printed our favorite 300 (!) and created wedding album full sweet moments and details of the day. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for capturing our day true to how it felt. So much love to you both!”

“I am a wedding planner, and Peyton Curry is by far my favorite photographer to work with. I've had the pleasure of working with her on lots of weddings both big and small, as well as editorial shoots, and even personal family shoots. Her approachable, playful and warm personality leaves a lasting impression. This, combined with her natural yet incredibly helpful prompts while photographing make anyone comfortable behind the camera. Her curated creative style of both capturing images and editing them to perfection is refreshingly unique. When looking through her galleries, it's apparent she is focused on telling the whole story of the day (or family, etc.) with a varied range of shots showing small details, candid moments, zoomed-out big picture shots, in addition to beautifully styled compositions. Her galleries are way more than just documentation of the day. They bring you back to the way you felt in those moments, and often artistically illustrate moments you may have missed. Peyton loves to use film, and is incredibly talented at switching between digital, 35mm, medium format, and polaroid (yes, she carries all these cameras with her!!). She understands the intricacies of what film exposes in an image, and uses the medium to further enhance her work. It's art. Her style, professionalism, experience, demeanor, and quality of work is worth every last penny. She goes above and beyond expectations every time. This is not your standard wedding photographer. Trust me, I have a BFA in photography, and I've worked with all kinds. You will never regret booking her.”

”Where is the 6 star option!?! Peyton is our “where do we even begin” vendor—In the best way possible. Every step of the process with Peyton- inquiring, booking, our wedding day, and everything in between was a dream. Peyton is proactive and detail oriented. She carries herself with grace, class, and professionalism all with tremendous joy. Her photos speak volumes for themselves, but there is so much more to be said. She’s incredibly talented, relatable, and has the unique ability to capture every moment without being intrusive. My mom said “she was like a fairy” as she effortlessly floated around the room while capturing our favorite moments. She has exceptionally unique gear and an unmatched style. She reads moments really well, and has the ability to encapsulate an entire memory from moments that happen in a split second. The guests of the wedding raved at how wonderful she was. My favorite thing about her as her thoughtfulness and attention to detail. She is truly a gift of an experience from start to finish and always finds ways to exceed your expectations. You are definitely booking more than just a photographer with her.”

- Hope & Johnny

“I’ve admired Peyton’s work for a few years now and finally was able to get in front of her lens with my husband and baby boy for a family session. What we love so much about Peyton’s work is that it feels like I’m looking at photos of my parents with me and my brother when I was little— nostalgic and like home. We opted for the family package with film and the film photos turned out to be our favorites. Peyton made us feel so comfortable and it shows through the images. We will cherish these photos for life and will continue to return to her each year so that our son can look at these and feel how we do when looking at images of our families through the years. Thank you, Peyton for being the sweetest soul and sharing your craft with us. You’re so talented!!!”

- Kenzie Flinchum

”Man we feel so lucky to have crossed paths with this human! When we planned our wedding in Austin, Texas, we sought out vendors that would blend seamlessly into our family. We knew we wanted Peyton to document our weekend from the moment we spoke with her. She is one of the most talented, authentic and thoughtful people you will meet! Her photographs tell such a story, we’re truly transported back to our moments by looking at them! She was somehow able to catch all the meaningful bits between us and our loved ones without us ever noticing - discreet, serene and gracious. She was attentive to our vision and the magic she created was above and beyond what we could have dreamed! Thankful to now have her as a forever friend and lifetime photographer for our family, we love you Pey! <3”

“We were a 2020 pandemic wedding story. Peyton came into our lives in August 2020 when we unexpectedly had to change our ceremony location from a venue NY to our backyard in VA (with 3 weeks notice). This meant cancelling all of our vendors and hoping to find new ones. Peyton was the first and only photographer we hoped could shoot our day. She was miraculously available for our wedding date and got the ball rolling within a day of contacting her. We couldn’t meet in person before the big day so we met via FaceTime. From that first call we felt like we had known her for many years. She was kind, calming, professional, understanding, and compassionate. Our guest list shrunk from 200 people to 18, so to say the event was intimate is an understatement. Peyton and her husband (assistant for the day) felt like part of the family. They respected the sensitive nature of the day, took all precautions needed, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. Jon even made sure to feed us apps during our couple portraits. Peyton’s photography skills are unmeasured and her photos are invaluable. The beautiful and real emotion Peyton was able to capture during one of the most stressful seasons of our lives will never be forgotten. For the first time in months, we left behind the worries of the world and lived in the moment. Thank you Peyton. Somehow you managed to find a way to document our moments of joy, relief, love, and happiness (the ONLY important emotions on our wedding day) and I’ll always think of you and your husband fondly for it. You were willing to take us on in no time, get covid tested to ease our minds, and to bring moments of normalcy throughout all the unknown. We will cherish the gift of your photography for the rest of our days. Anyone would be lucky to have this beautiful and talented soul as their photographer.”

- Tessa & Worth

“Peyton Curry photographed our wedding in September 2021 and we are so happy she was a part of our wedding day. Peyton checks all of the boxes for professionalism, organization, responsiveness, etc, etc. Peyton brings a kind and caring presence to your event while effortlessly organizing and capturing the perfect moments of her subjects. Peyton’s photography allows for various cameras to capture your moments from vintage cameras to Polaroids, in addition to the gorgeous digital photos she takes. Her personal touches to her business do not go amiss and are the cherry on top of a total package photographer. Can’t wait to book her again in the future!”

- Sarah & Joey

“STOP LOOKING FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER! You found her! Peyton is a literal angel. She brought every single beautiful moment of mine and my husbands wedding day to life through her images to a level that we truly feel like we are living it all over again no matter how many times we look through each image. She also brings a vintage/timeless feel to your experience by providing 35mm + Polaroid film images that is a cherry on top to it all! Aside from her beautiful photography work, from the moment you book Peyton she brings a calming, trustworthy, and loving presence that is backed up by her genuine + selfless personality that is a breath of fresh air! She is truly there for you through the early planning process leading up to your wedding AND even more so on your wedding day! If perfect was realistically achievable, Peyton would be it! We love & cherish Peyton forever!”

— Taylor & Nate

“My husband and I absolutely loved working with Peyton! After moving to VA from Brooklyn we were worried we wouldn’t be able to find someone to replace our beloved family photographer. Enter Peyton who was an absolute dream to work with. With an easy going approach and seeming effortlessness, she made our family and importantly my 3 year old daughter feel so comfortable in front of the camera just by her clam, patient, kind presence. Her photographs are pure dreamscapes - beautiful little snapshots of life, editorial style, that you will want to return to over and over again. I’m still pretty shocked at how many great shots she got. I am gushing at this point but we were so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Peyton and we simply couldn’t have been happier with the photos.”

— The Brown family

“Peyton has been the sweetest friend and most talented photographer to have capture our special life moments. My husband and I have had her capture our proposal, engagements, and wedding in the past year. Every photo perfectly represents our story and season. Our photos feel timeless and I appreciate having different mediums (film & polaroids) to represent our day. Aside from her talents, she is kind and overall just a joy to be around. She made me feel calm when our wedding day timeline was behind schedule and was there to grab me tissues before the ceremony. I can't wait to have her capture more of our life moments in the future.”

— Sarah & Zach

“Getting to see your love from the outside is an incredibly special, emotional experience. From the moment we met with Peyton we knew she would bring way more than just a thoughtful eye. She adventured with us for our engagement photos in Blacksburg where we first fell in love, was kind, thoughtful and understanding amidst the uncertainty when the world turned upside down and she captured every fleeting moment from our wedding day. Her photos transport us back, and they are such a gift. It may sound corny that all of her couples call her a friend. But honestly, it’s hard not to when she puts her whole heart into her work and loves you so well. Peyton, we can never thank you enough!”

— Connor & Randy

“Peyton is a gem of a person & photographer. It was amazing getting to know her and see her in her element. She truly has such a creative eye that is hard to find within photography. She was very professional, sweet and so easy to work with. We are so grateful to call her a dear friend now!”

— Flor & Shane

”There is no one like Peyton. Period. Not only is she the kindest, most genuine person, but she's got creative vision beyond compare. Everything she touches is art, and every little detail is intentional. She turned our goofiest moments into incredible photographs (and made us feel like a million bucks the whole time). We were lucky enough to spend a long weekend with her when she shot our engagement photos, & some of our favorite memories came from that trip (considering we spent 90 percent of the time laughing). Being around Peyton just makes you happy... and that's definitely someone you want around on your wedding day. If you're considering Peyton - STOP and hire her now!!!!! The best decision you will ever make!!!”

— Sara & Patrick

“If you are looking for a kind-hearted photographer that is not only immensely talented but also someone you will consider family when it's all said and done, the Peyton is your girl! Her work is absolutely breath taking and she walks you through the whole process. I never once felt nervous or uncomfortable while shooting with her... in fact she will make you feel like a million bucks as she encourages you to be yourself and soak in the moment. Each image she captures is so honest and real, memories you will truly cherish for a lifetime."

— Kelsey & Mark

“We have worked with Peyton on multiple occasions to create lifestyle and apparel product photography for our shop (Phosphene Studio)'s website and social media content. From start to finish Peyton is an absolute joy to partner with - professional, kind and truly talented at what she does. We love working with Peyton and look forward to creating together again in the future!”

— Rachel

“Peyton is INCREDIBLE. No need to keep looking, her work says it all. My husband & I had her take our wedding photos and they turned out stunning. She’s creative, patient and overall an angel. Our session was super comfortable and never awkward. We got to work along side her husband too & they’re an absolute dream. Can’t wait to have her document more milestones in the future!”

— Kenya & Kayci

“To start - Peyton is an extremely talented individual. She takes her work seriously, but makes the process so fun and inviting. She did THE BEST job capturing every little detail of my wife & I’s wedding. We had a larger venue & guest count so I knew that could be challenging in ways- not for Peyton! Peyton not only got the best shots of typical wedding stuff (details, bride, groom, bridal party, ceremony, etc) she made sure that she captured all of our guests!!! We loved looking back at our dinner & dancing photos and seeing who was there doing what. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation for a wedding photographer/ photographer in general. This girl kills it!! Her emails & texts are always encouraging and after our first meeting with Peyton, we felt like we had been friends for years. Kayla & I didn’t go into booking our vendors to be solely vendors- we desired friendships and relationships with these people. And I believe we definitely gained an amazing friend in Peyton. If you’re getting married- BOOK PEYTON TODAY!!!”

- Kyle & Kayla

“We had an amazing experience working with Peyton for our engagement and wedding photos! She has such a warm and bright personality, plus her photos are truly magical. We felt comfortable with her right from the start. We loved that she was up for a 6:00am engagement shoot on a very cold November morning with our adventurous pup. The photos turned out amazing and we knew we had made the right choice The wedding day coverage was amazing. She also had such a positive and kind attitude throughout the whole day - she complemented everything we wanted in our wedding. The photos were sent to us SO fast, and totally exceeded our expectations. I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with Peyton. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING PEYTON!

- Zoe & Stephen

"Peyton was absolutely the best photographer we could have ever imagined for our wedding. She is the sweetest, kindest, and most genuine soul you will ever meet. She truly cares about people and capturing their love and memories! We are so forever grateful for her presence in our wedding weekend! After our wedding, we had so many family and friends approach us about how much they loved our photographer and how sweet she was! The images are absolutely incredible and she captured so many sweet and intimate moments between us and our family/friends. I am so grateful for Peyton. You will leave the experience not only with amazing photos but a great friend."

- Cristina & Igor

"Peyton may actually be the most talented person I've ever met. We were lucky enough to have her shoot our engagement photos & our wedding this past March (including hiking to the top of a mountain with us during a wind storm on our wedding day), and no matter what I say here, it will not truly express how amazing Peyton is!! She is kind and genuine, and she will make you feel comfortable with the entire photography process even if you typically dislike that sort of stuff. She'll help walk you through your shoots and ensure you look & feel natural and beautiful! Literally everyone who has seen our photos can't stop gushing over them--everyone who sees them wants to hire her for their next event. She does an amazing job of capturing the beauty and emotion in each and every one of her photos, and if you are lucky enough to snag her, I guarantee you will feel the same. You'll come out of the process with hundreds of absolutely stunning photos, and a sweet new friend! I literally could not recommend Peyton highly enough. She is truly the best!"

- Lara & Mike

"Working with Peyton for our engagement photos was an absolute DREAM. She was so kind and helpful in figuring out photo locations - and the two we ended up with were perfect! She made my fiance and I feel so comfortable. We had such a wonderful time taking photos, probably some of the most fun we've had as a couple and it was all because of her! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone searching for a carefree, fun experience with someone who is still super professional - we have so many gorgeous photos to prove it! We will cherish these memories forever and we have Peyton to thank for that."

- Hannah & DJ

"We were so excited to get our photos after working with Peyton for our wedding! She is so sweet and thoughtful in all that she does. I've been more than satisfied with her work, professionalism, skill. The girl is talented to say the least. She was able to capture the joy and beauty of our special day so perfectly and uniquely. An added bonus is that she is just so sweet - she was fun to shoot with and made us feel very comfortable. I am so glad we chose Peyton and would do so for future needs."

- Lauren & Joel

"I'm a photographer myself so of course I'm super picky about who takes my own photos but Peyton was amazing to work with. She took photos of my boyfriend and I while we were traveling through Virginia and I'm so happy I found a photographer who truly cares about her work and her clients. Since us photographers are behind the camera all the time we forgot how special of an experience it is to be in front of it and I was blown away by Peyton's talent and professionalism throughout the entire experience. I definitely hope I reconnect with Peyton in the future!"
