Hi, I'm Paige

a decade in the making

here's a bit about me

It all began in 2013 when I opened A Little Rusty Shop, the first specialty vintage rental company on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. What started as a love for collecting and flipping unique pieces quickly grew into styling events and weddings in 2015–16. That’s when everything clicked. I discovered how much joy I found in helping people bring their vision to life, and I knew I’d found the work and industry I was meant to be working in.

As my creativity grew, I wanted new ways to tell those stories — so I picked up a camera. I taught myself photography to showcase my designs, but soon fell completely in love with capturing people and their moments instead. With a little push from a friend, I photographed my first wedding in 2017. By the end of 2018, I took a leap of faith and made photography my full-time job.

Now, nine years and countless love stories later, I’m still just as passionate about what I do. My background in styling and rentals gave me a deep appreciation for the details, teamwork, and intention that make every wedding unique. It also taught me one of the most important lessons in this work: your day isn’t about me. It’s about you — your love, your people, and the life you’re creating together. My role is to capture your story, your moments, and your love in a way that is authentic and true while also serving you with the guidance and aid you need from a professional. I can’t wait to help bring your story to life. 🖤

family

My husband and I got married in Buena Vista, Colorado in October 2023 after just 6 months of dating (but nearly 20 years of knowing one another!)

We travel the US in our converted Sprinter Van, fully built out by my husband, John (& split our time between Maryland and Colorado)

We have a German Shepherd, Chesapeake retriever, a cute little cat, a gecko, and I have 2 horses! 

I have a Yamaha XT-250 dual sport Motorcycle, and a Stark Varg electric dirt bike. John and I love to ride our dirt bikes and mountain bikes any chance we can.

My newest hobby is really bringing out my inner nerdy grandma: birdwatching. Mostly in my backyard, but I am so into it. Yes you can and should roast me for this. I deserve it.

because if you're going to pay someone that much $$$, you deserve to know the pillars of the service they provide

01.

Hospitality

Integrity & Authenticity

No matter the size or setting of your celebration, from an intimate mountainside elopement to a 200-person wedding, you’ll have a team of people working together to make it happen. I’m committed to being a true team player, collaborating not only with you but also with your families, friends, and fellow vendors. When we all work in harmony, your day unfolds seamlessly and stays centered on what truly matters: you and your story.

Empathy & Respect

Wedding days are full of moving parts . A blend of personalities, emotions, and often, last-minute changes. With over twelve years in the industry, I’ve learned how to navigate it all with calm, care, and professionalism. No matter what the day brings, I stay centered on your needs and vision, ensuring your experience remains joyful and stress-free.


Hospitality is at the heart of everything I do. I’m deeply committed to serving each couple (and their loved ones!) with care, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. Ensuring everyone feels seen, valued, and supported throughout the wedding day is not just part of my job , it’s one of the parts I love most.


Integrity and authenticity guide every part of my work. On the business side, that looks like transparent pricing, clear expectations, and honest, accountable communication. In my images, it means telling the truth about your day, capturing real, unscripted moments and preserving your memories in a way that honors both authenticity and artistry.


You deserve vendors who truly care about you. To me, you’re never just clients — you’re two individuals with your own stories, passions, and people you love. You’re planning a day that reflects your relationship and your dreams for the future, and that means so much more than a checklist of details. I approach every interaction and every moment with empathy and respect, honoring who you are and what matters most to you both.
