Hey there!

I’m Lacy Patton, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Franklinton, North Carolina (the cutest small town outside of Raleigh!) I grew up in Georgia and moved to Boone, North Carolina to get my Commercial Photography degree from Appalachian State University. Along the way, I met my husband, Cody, and taught him everything I know about photography and he is now my dedicated second photographer at weddings and events!

I'm pretty sure that I have cried at every single wedding I've ever been to and I am so thankful that I get to be part of so many special days. The best part of each wedding day is right after the ceremony when all of the stress has melted away and you get to relax and enjoy each other as newlyweds. This is my favorite time to capture the raw emotion with all of the happy tears, laughs, and “Holy cow, we’re married!” moments.

From the first time we chat, my goal is to make your entire wedding process as stress-free as possible. Whether you need help finding vendors, (we know all of the best ones!) picking an outfit for your engagement photos, or just need someone to talk to about the whole planning process, I’m only a quick text away! We truly aspire to be more than just another vendor, and the best feeling is making lasting friendships with all of our couples.

I would love to learn more about you, your sweetie, and your wedding plans. Let's grab coffee or drinks and talk weddings!

Seriously, just do yourself a favor and book Lacy and Cody. When I tell you they were the absolute BEST from engagement to wedding I am NOT kidding. We got back the most BREATH-TAKING photos EDITED in six days.....yes SIX DAYS. My husband and I were in awe. They know how to make you feel comfortable when you are SO new to picture taking and capture the most stunning moments. I'm going to have such a hard time not framing every.single.picture. Truly a dream team. THANK YOU!!!! - Jen (2022 bride)

You can stop looking for a photographer and book with Lacy! Lacy took our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, and captured our wedding perfectly! We will cherish these beautiful photos forever! Our family and friends always comment on how amazing our photos look and I am always quick to recommend Lacy whenever anyone is in need of a photographer. Lacy is very organized and thorough. She is also extremely friendly and laidback. We would highly recommend that you go ahead and contact Lacy to capture any special moment! - Kasey (2021 bride)

Lacy was everything we ever dreamed of in a wedding photographer! She was so professional, and was the perfect addition to our wedding. She made us laugh and feel super at ease with her. She helped calm my nerves and captured THE BEST photos of me and my husband that I’ve ever seen. The best decision I made for my wedding was hiring Lacy Patton Photography! - Shelby (2019 bride)
