Those closest to me know that my hope is to spread kindness everywhere I go. I believe in authenticity, & that reflects in the art that I create. I am deeply passionate about making others feel like their best selves, & I photograph those who desire to preserve the most special moments of their lives.
As a photographer, I have eleven years of experience & a non-stop five-star review track record. FUN FACT: the furthest we've been for a wedding is Stavanger, Norway. When I'm not busy elsewhere you can find me spending time with my boyfriend of nine years, Gabriel. We currently live in New York City, NY with our rescue pup Ellie. Follow us on Instagram.

- I play violin, piano, guitar, & banjo
- Charcuterie is my favorite way to snack & I always have it on hand

I'M SKAY, ASSOCIATE LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER.
Hello there! When I was trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life, I realized I wanted a job where I could not only share my journey of uncovering this abundant life through Jesus, but help encourage others that they are beautiful and worth loving. I picked up a camera and have been pursuing my passion for photography ever since! I also completed my degree in Business Marketing in 2019. I love photographing weddings because I'm a sucker for romance, and because I've been through it myself and I know how stressful it can be. I'd love to help your day be incredible.

Four things I love in life: My husband Malachi, my dog Max, my friends, & travel (who doesn't?).

I'M VIVI, ASSOCIATE LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER.
Hi, I'm Vivi! I believe in the positive influence of creation and apply that philosophy through photography, digital design, and copy. For over a year now I've been in Atlanta serving as a guide and representative for account logistics and all things creative at a digital marketing agency in Buckhead. I studied Journalism and Art at the University of Georgia, which is when and where I also discovered my love for good community, travel, passionfruit ice cream, and photography, photography, photography!

I'm from the beautiful North GA mountains but currently live in Chattanooga, TN with my Hubby and our two pups.

WHAT DOES THE WORD PAPILLON (PRONOUNCED LIKE päpēˈyôn) MEAN?
Our business name means "butterfly" in French, one of the most romantic and emotional languages in the world. We renamed our business "Papillon Visuals" in 2021 because that is what we wish for you. If one of our team members has the privilege of capturing a photograph or video of you, we hope it will make you feel beautiful, free, and hopeful as you continue to grow into your best self.
I'M LOGAN, HEAD FILMMAKER. (VIDEOGRAPHER)
I truly believe film is one of the greatest art forms. When done right it can provide an atmosphere for genuine authentic connection; I personally strive to capture nothing less than that. I graduated from the University of North Georgia with a Bachelors in Film & Digital Media in 2018. Ever since then, I have developed a taste for indie filmmaking in the genres of wedding videography, branding content, music videos, & more. I desire to change the industry through the art of film & I look forward to connecting with you. Follow me on instagram.
Specialties: film-making.
