About Lux Everlasting
Lux Everlasting
You may not know it, but you're actually not looking for a wedding photographer. After all, that is just one aspect of what we do! And I'm not a normal wedding vendor... I'm a commissionable artist and consultant to the aesthetics and atmosphere of your day with nearly 20 years of industry experience (including planning my husband and I's wedding).
Lux Everlasting is art-led, cinematic wedding images and films paired with effortless creative consulting. I've always been an artist, and my love for photography truly took hold when I photographed my first wedding in 2007. That day, I fell in love with everything about weddings. Weddings and elopements are incredible experiences but they can be a lot to plan by yourself! Allow me to be your photographer, and your calm in storm when you need advice. As a team, we will make your day more than you could have dreamed of. Contact me to apply for a 2026 Legacy Commission application.

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!
