The story

I can still shoot a full wedding the way I always have — I just can't endure the physical grind the way I used to. So I pick and choose.

Scott Burton · 2,000+ weddings · Sports Illustrated · ESPN

I'm Scott Burton. Twenty years. Over 2,000 weddings. One of the highest-paid wedding photographers in Mississippi. Brides used to book me before they even had the ring. I've covered international weddings, major news, and sports for Sports Illustrated and ESPN.

After my second major shoulder injury during COVID, the joint healed wrong. I need a full replacement and have lifting restrictions. I can still deliver the same quality of work — I just no longer do the nonstop, all-day, heavy-gear grind. Instead I choose the weddings and the moments that matter most to me.

This is not typical wedding photography.

I am a content creator and a social media + traditional media expert. When I shoot Undercover Paparazzi, you don't just get stills. I also create vertical video reels — the kind of content you can post the week of your honeymoon while you're still glowing. Real, cinematic, ready-to-share moments shot with the same long-lens, invisible style I've always used.

Any gift you choose to send after receiving your gallery helps fund a documentary I'm making about Bat Cave, North Carolina — a community almost erased by Hurricane Helene. See the Helene work

The photographer

“From the sidelines of a championship to the quiet second before a first kiss — I use long lenses to seize once-in-a-lifetime moments with honesty and grace.”
