Payson, AZ Weddings
In 15+ years of photographing weddings and couples I've learned that what people need most is not someone to have to figure out what to do with. They need someone who treats them like family. They need someone there to buoy them up, take the stress off, have resources on hand to simplify matters, and to preserve these incredibly special split moment memories.
We called Payson, AZ home for five years and still pine after the pines. Thankfully we're not far away at all and I still love every chance to return to Rim Country to introduce couples to our very favorite places and businesses. Weddings here have a magic all their own!

Extras & Add-Ons
Want to customize the experience? No problem!
+ Additional Photographer: $150/hour
An additional photographer means I can cover more events of the day at a time, provide more angles (for example during the ceremony we can get more guest reactions as well as the ceremony events), and drastically increase the number of portraits I am able to deliver.
+ Additional Coverage time:
$500/hour booked ahead of time
$650/hour for time extended in the moment on the wedding day
+ Custom Retouching: $35/image
I do light & color adjustments on every image I deliver, as well as some basic acne blending (because sometimes that one wedding zit just insists on making an appearance, we get that).
For extensive editing I charge on a per image basis.
+ Albums and Prints: Prices vary
Prints are available in every client's online gallery. Custom sizes can be ordered through me.
Legacy Albums Available to add on to any session!

When you face trials in your life, and like my Mom and Grandma both told me, "it's not IF you will face trials, but WHEN," I challenge you to sit on the sofa with your sweetheart or family and look through your wedding album and family photos together. I don't know any family who could do this and not be reminded of their love and the fact that they can make it through anything...as long as they have one another.
An album tells the story of your day in a way that no other product can. And it lives on to tell that story to your children and grandchildren. It strengthens marriages for generations! Albums can be added on to any wedding package!
Stories of Mom and Dad's engagements in the mountains where we have our family reunion every year, Mom's beautiful long white wedding dress that I swore I would wear someday for my wedding (but which I outgrew when I was 10!), stories of my aunt and uncle singing at the reception, and stories of Mom and Dad dancing, something I've loved watching my entire life.
Seeing the photos, and being able to match them to the real life love story I saw between them every single day, up through my mother's final minutes on earth, was powerful. I still love looking through their albums; they are treasures!
In the Living Room of my childhood home was my Mother's beautiful china cabinet, handmade by my Dad. There on the bottom shelf sat a blue and white checkered album next to two black bound albums. I spent hours of my childhood sitting on the floor by the china cabinet, pulling those books out, and turning each page as I dove into the stories there in front of me.
The Power in your Photos
When you look at your photos, you don't just love them for how they look, you love them for how they make you feel, and people remember how they felt in the moment a photo was taken. It's like an instant time machine! I'm here to help you tell your story in a way that will strengthen your family, bring joy to your marriage, and give your kids something to smile and laugh about in 15 years when they are looking through the family albums.

She’s so easy to work with and to be comfortable with. Our pictures always turn out so beautiful and she gives you so many amazing photos to choose from! She will do anything to get that amazing shot and on my wedding day she was sewing dresses left and right. Everyone who met Marquette thought she was awesome and everyone loves our photos from our engagement, wedding and maternity! Look no further for a photographer because she is simply the best! We love Marquette, thank you for all our wonderful photos! We can’t wait for our future photo shoots because we know there will be more!
She treats you like family."

Not only does she take the stress away, she captures moments you will cherish forever. She captured so many perfect moments during our wedding. She even went out of her way to capture the perfect shots of us in front of the snowy mountain. She saw the sun peak through the mountain on the way to our reception and called us to meet her there. Those shots are breathtaking and shows you how much she truly cares and wants your day to be magical. Not only did we have the privilege of having the best photographer we feel like we have gained a lifelong friend in the process. We were so blessed to have her as our photographer. We love you and cant thank you enough for all you did."
When we first spoke with Marquette she was totally excited and easy to talk to. This same energy went in to our engagement session and reflected in our photos. We are awkward at times when taking photos but she made us feel comfortable the entire session. The day of the wedding she was fantastic! She somehow captured all of the amazingly special moments during the event! She is also incredibly talented and stepped in to help the bridesmaids while they were getting ready whenever it was needed. The photos turned out way better than we could ever have hoped! Huge thank you to Marquette and her assistant, Claire, for recording the memory of our day!

"The photos turned out
My husband and I loved having Marquette around us for our wedding. She was calm, composed, and so easy going which was perfect for a stressful day. My biggest fear was that I would not come out looking good on the photos or that we wouldn’t capture beautiful moments. Our pictures captured the beauty that after being so stressed I was blind to see. I was able to see all the beauty through the photos and relive the moment. Marquette captured the beauty of the day! And while we were taking photos Jon and I felt so happy with the opportunity to enjoy each other. Marquette was a perfect side kick, she did her job so excellent and effortless. It was second nature to her, we absolutely loved her!

Marquette is really easy going. She comes prepared with ideas and a creative mind. We met with her beforehand to get to know each other and I knew from when we met that we were going to have a fun time. She grabbed us right at the end of our reception and said she had this great idea. We went along with it and she took this gorgeous backlit shot in front of the barn. Aidan and I love it so much and have that photo hanging in our house. Marquette is fantastic with her camera! Our pictures are a dream come true. I loved the timeless feel of them-- no trendy filters or strange poses.

You would be absolutely crazy if you don't pick her. She is the most caring and professional photographer out there. Not only does she take the stress away, she captures moments you will cherish forever. All her pictures are truly amazing. She is seriously the best in the business! Her passion for taking pictures is truly amazing. She captured so many perfect moments during our wedding. (Everyone is still talking about how amazing the pictures are from our wedding) She even went out of her way to capture the perfect shots of us in front of the snowy mountain. She saw the sun peak through the mountain on the way to our reception and called us to meet her there.

"we have gained
She is so easy to work with and is so understanding and incredibly personable! I love the fact that she too is a mom and was not afraid to pick up my son and hold him while still taking pictures. The quality of pictures didn’t change either when she was holding him, all pictures are equally as beautiful and amazing! Something Preston and I will treasure for many years to come! I LOVE all my pictures and I couldn’t be happier!
"Marquette was

the best money I spent towards my wedding."
One fun bonus to my job is the chance to meet, interact, and work with other professionals and creatives in the wedding industry. They all bring so much into every wedding! With every wedding I shoot I love providing the vendors and creatives involved with photos of their hard work. Working alongside so many talented men and women has opened doors, planted seeds of friendship, and it's just so much fun!
kind words from wedding industry creatives and professionals
She loves what she does and it shows in every bit of her work! She took time and great detail into every picture she took. I love her pictures! Hands down I recommend Marquette. I share her name and website all the time. I have sung her praises since I met her. I would highly recommend Marquette for any photography project! Not only is she so fun to work with but her love for photography shows in her finished product!
I could tell she was in her element."

"To wake up this morning and see this BEAUTIFUL photo of one of my cakes! When I first saw your photo, I could not believe it! This shot is pure talent! I knew how dark that building was, I tried and tried to get a decent photo of the cake set up, but I'm a baker, not a photographer. You made it look like it was in the middle of the most beautiful sunny day! I am so excited to get to work on more events with you!"

I was so excited to get the opportunity to work with Marquette because I followed her on Instagram and already knew I loved her style. I felt like we were already good friends when we met in person because of how personable she was. I loved that she was one of the few photographers that got 'behind the scenes' shots of setting up the event. It really was a blast working with her and I would love to do it again and again!
already good friends"

Marquette blew me away with the edited images of our styled shoot. I was very happy with the décor and set up we did but she turned our décor into true art with her photography skills. It was amazing. I am a shy person and that is something I struggle with being in this industry. Marquette made me feel very comfortable and was extremely easy to work with. I had a great experience with Marquette and look forward to working with her again in the future!
every minute!"
