Hi! I'm Luke Payne, a Minnesota-based elopement + intimate wedding photographer for non-traditional couples who own their uniqueness. My style is darkly whimsical, unconventional, and emotive, and I travel documenting elopements and intimate weddings in stunning destinations worldwide.
I believe that celebrating individuality isn’t just beautiful — it’s revolutionary. Photography has the power to foster understanding, connection, and compassion in a world that needs it more than ever. By honoring each couple’s unique story, I aim to create a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and celebrated.
