Hi, I’m Whitney, a mama of three boys, living a slow, grounded life on a little slice of land with my husband. And I will be bringing that same calm, steady presence into every wedding day I’m a part of. My approach is intentionally relaxed yet deeply refined with blending candid storytelling with gentle direction to create imagery that feels effortless, emotional, and timeless. By the time your wedding day arrives, everything has been thoughtfully planned and perfected together. I’ll show up with my binder in hand, every detail organized from top to bottom, so you can fully let go and be present.
Throughout the day, I step in where needed, smoothing out the in-between moments and guiding things with ease. Family pictures during cocktail hour is my specialty, I direct and flow through portraits so seamlessly that you’ll actually have time to step away, mingle with your people, and soak it all in. I’m there for more than just photographs. I'm there to support you, keep things moving effortlessly, and create space for you to experience your day as it unfolds. The result is a gallery that not only reflects how your day looked, but how it felt, honest, connected, and beautifully you.

Whitney was so much more than a photographer on our wedding day. Not only did she capture beautiful moments, but she was constantly making sure I had everything I needed, keeping m...
e on schedule, and helping the day run smoothly from start to finish. She brought such a calming presence and truly went above and beyond in ways that had nothing to do with taking pictures. We’ve only received a small preview of our photos so far, but they are absolutely stunning and have us even more excited to see the rest. We are incredibly grateful for Whitney and would recommend her to any bride looking for someone who genuinely cares about her couples.

It isn’t enough to say Whitney takes beautiful photos. That she does, but the real reason Whitney was perfect for our wedding day is that she does SO much more. She made us feel co...
mfortable, she made us laugh, & we knew she genuinely cared about us and prioritizing OUR day. She kept our rowdy groomsmen in line & got all of the pictures we requested (thanks to her well thought questionnaire). She is thorough & creative, patient but gets the job done.
If you’re looking for a photographer to make your biggest day more relaxed but captured in the most natural sense, Whitney is your girl. Not only will you be love your wedding album, you’ll want her to join in on your next girls night.
Thank you Whitney Paige Photography for capturing us!

Whitney was truly amazing . Whitney showed up and provided support and love throughout my special day. I initially did not hire Whitney for photography services ,but she was hired ...
by the photographer I did hire to take photos for my wedding due to my photographer not showing. When I say this was a blessing , Whitney showed up and immediately showed love and support throughout my entire day . Whitney was much more than a photographer on my special day and made sure I was taken care of the entire day. I truly do love the services she provided and so glad she was apart of my special day. I would recommend Whitney a thousand times over for wedding photography services and more . She is beyond kind and truly personally cares for the individual she’s working for.Thank you so much for your services.

Do you need a photographer who is loud and quick on her feet, full of energy and jokes, and great with people? WHITNEY IS YOUR GIRL! Her loud voice was great when it came time for ...
role call for pictures. Her lively energy and bubbly personality was perfect for making everyone feel comfortable. She was super interactive and talked with more people at our wedding than I did as the bride probably LOL! She was an all-around great photographer and we were so glad we could have her to capture our big day!
