    I am so glad I have gotten the opportunity to work with Payton. She shot with us at a recent wedding and did a great job on getting everything back to us quickly! During the day she was able to work independently with great initiative. She is really thorough at giving direction to her subjects and making them feel comfortable. She has a laid back, yet effective vibe! 10/10 would recommend either hiring or working with Payton Teffner Photography.

    When I met Payton to do a wedding last month, we instantly bonded! She was super organized and always made the best use of our time when we were capturing everything. She has a great eye for creative shots and really knows how to use the venue to her advantage! She’s a really calm spirit, so she was just great to be around in general as well. She carried herself with an air of kind professionalism, and that’s something I always value in my fellow colleagues. It was so much fun that I hope to work with her again even though we’re now a little further from each other!

    I am a videographer who has worked with Payton for 2 years. I have seen her create premium high quality content for her clients. She takes great pride in his work and it shows in the final product.

    Payton was a hidden gem that I found through an intense Instagram/Facebook search for a wedding photographer. I was starting to get discouraged with the outrageous pricing of some of the big name photographers in the Birmingham, AL area and disappointed with the gallery examples of some of the cheaper options. When she messaged me back, her rates are so reasonable and affordable and her Instagram really shows how vibrant and dreamy her previous galleries have turned out. I felt like I could really trust her with capturing our special memories, I was right. Prior to the wedding, she sent out a questionnaire asking about our photography priorities and mindset. Also recently she started including an engagement session when you book her for a wedding package!! A steal! We couldn’t be happier with our photos and our experience with a Payton. She also is a traveling queen, so if you’re not in Birmingham, AL, don’t be discouraged!
