Afterglow Photography
Reviews!
“Afterglow Photography comes highly recommended and did such a great job for us on our post wedding photo session! We chose to hike to take our wedding photos because we love to be out in nature together and really didn’t want traditional wedding photos. The hike we chose was our first hike together as a couple when we were dating & we wanted it to be the first as husband and wife. We have a picture of us together from that very first hike when we’re dating and wanted to try to mimic it. Clayton & Caroline hiked with all of their gear to take our wedding pics & to help us recreate that first picture. We shared all of the ideas and pictures that we wanted to capture on our hike. They did a fantastic job & we couldn’t be more pleased with how the pictures came out!”

“Just Wow. Clayton and team bring out the best in their subjects. My wife and I were so grateful for the time and attention to detail that this outfit brought to the entire process of photographing our wedding. From beginning consultation to final prints the process was seamless, thoughtful, professional and full of love and care for the event and the happiness of the client.”

“Recommending Clayton to my clients is a no-brainer. He is dependable - always professional, thoughtful, timely, and has a natural ability to make any subject comfortable. The photos turned out great. What my clients appreciate most is a seamless experience, what I value are high-quality assets I can use to build campaigns that last.”
“Clayton was a delight to work with and put our family at ease. I would highly recommend him for any of your photography needs.“

“We had an awesome experience with Afterglow photography. Clayton arranged for an attractive place for us to be photographed that reflected our interests & style.
We appreciate how clearly knowledgeable he was about forming a nice composition and how the lighting contributes to a beautiful photo. Ours came out Fantastic, with so many great ones that it was hard to pick favorites. He was great to work with, we would definitely recommend Afterglow for any indoor or outdoor photography needs.

Hey there I’m Clayton, the owner and lead photographer of Afterglow Photography. I started this company with two main goals in mind. First, to provided high-quality imaging services for my clients - products that can bring joy for years to come. Second, to grow as an artist. To deepen my understanding of a beloved art form and to continue learning for a life-time. For me, photography isn’t just a job, it’s a lifestyle that is endlessly fascinating and consistently puts me in contact with amazing people.
My style is cinematic and natural, but I am versatile and enjoy consultations on aesthetics. If you have a different look in mind let’s discuss it!
When I’m not pre-occupied with photography, you can find me hiking and camping the beautiful mountains of WNC. If you are adventurous, I’m more than willing to make the trek to your perfect mountain locale.
I am a licensed kayak guide, licensed whale-watcher, and a licensed drone operator. I’ve been an active member of the I.A.T.S.E 491 film union since 2015, where I specialize in props and set decoration.
