About Lux Everlasting
Lux Everlasting
Heyyy friends! I'm Clayton, the lead photographer and artist behind Lux Everlasting. We're based in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, and I've been shooting weddings since the summer I graduated high school in 2007! I make candid, cinematic images that feel like raw memories, rather than a forced photoshoot. My couples value real emotion, time with their people, and beauty that goes beyond perfect lighting and poses. Queer-owned, proudly LGBTQ+ affirming, and highkey just plain really fun to have at your wedding!
Nearly two decades of shooting weddings means I am prepared for anything. In fact, I'd be more surprised IF something surprises me on your wedding day! My approach is entirely documentary... I'm observing and responding to every moment as it happens; I'm not directing (unless required), and because of this, your photos will not only reflect the realness of your day, but when you look back on them decades from now, they will take your right back to that moment! Your favorite images will be the ones you didn't even know that you wanted... The moments you didn't expect! Let's do this!

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. My husband and I are so in love with our wedding pictures that we are having a hard time picking favorites! You will not be disappointed in booking with Lux Everlasting! 10/10 will ALWAYS recommend!

Great vibes, even better wedding photos
Lux Everlasting was a fantastic choice for our wedding photographer. They were super communicative and made it super easy to work with them. Clayton has an amazing eye and a skill for bringing out the best in his subjects. The positive energy he brought from the moment he arrived was infectious - my bridesmaids all loved him. He was also great at asking questions while snapping posed shots, which resulted in really beautiful, emotional, and even silly portraits that we'll treasure forever. Clayton somehow ninja-ed his way into capturing the absolute sweetest moments of the day. Thank you so much Lux Everlasting for not just being such a big part of our day, but also for capturing the memories we'll treasure a lifetime.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - 10/10
Lux Everlasting was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. From the moment we first spoke with Clayton, we were impressed by his kind, professional, and truly relatable personality. The quality of his work is truly stellar- it genuinely was worth every single penny for us. The photos and video footage he captured were absolutely beautiful; literally had me gasping at how perfectly our day was documented. My family loved working with Clayton too, they all complimented how much fun he was and how beautiful our photos were, and that they would find an excuse to hire him for something lol. Clayton also eased a lot of my anxiety with his calm presence, he even talked me through a difficult moment which was unexpected and greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Lux Everlasting for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. My husband and I absolutely adore Clayton as a professional, and also as the awesome human being that he is, and hope to be able to work with him again in the future. 10/10 experience all around. I wish I could add more than 6 photos!! I picked these to show the range of his work; candid, editing, posed, group shots, ect.

A Maternity Shoot I’ll Cherish Forever
I had the absolute best experience during my maternity shoot! Even though I was sooo pregnant, he made me feel completely comfortable from the moment we started. He’s incredibly friendly, patient, and has a way of making you feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. The photos came out so beautifully and so naturally — nothing felt forced or overly posed. He truly captured my natural beauty in a way that brought tears to my eyes when I saw the final images. You can tell he has a genuine talent for seeing people as they are and bringing out the best in every shot. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Highly, highly recommend!

Amazing
Lux Everlasting was an exceptional wedding photographer for our special day. From the very first interaction, they displayed an understanding and caring demeanor, providing fast responses and showing genuine excitement about capturing our wedding. Their communication style put us at ease and made the entire process seamless. The quality of their work was truly worth the investment - we look back at our stunning photos all the time and have several framed around our home. As a same-sex couple, we felt incredibly cared for and safe working with Lux Everlasting. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was captured beautifully. We could not be happier with the experience and would highly recommend them to any couple seeking an exceptional wedding photographer.
