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.
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
Front row at history.
The last lap, frame by frame.
Las Vegas. Age 11.
Behind a camera since I was 11. My goal with Undercover is simple: keep capturing once-in-a-lifetime, award-winning images — now at your wedding.
I shoot your wedding like a photojournalist — long prime lenses, low light, completely candid. I'm never in the way of your main photographer or your guests. You get the real, unposed moments that usually get missed.

I'm not your wedding photographer — and I'm not replacing them. Think of Undercover as another vendor on your day, like the florist or the band: a completely separate service that adds a second, unseen story. Your photographer covers the plan. I cover everything in between — and you see it the same day, with clips ready to post before the honeymoon starts.
Social clips, the same day
Short clips cut and ready to share — so your friends see the day while it's still happening.
Candid, by design
No deposit, no commitment. Tell me your date and venue.
Not knowing is what keeps the coverage truly candid.
Then you decide what the work is worth to you.
$1,000 to lock the date, or a $500 travel fee if outside my current location.
More than a gallery
A tight edit of the strongest frames while the day is still fresh.
Your complete collection, ready for the honeymoon.
A photo + short video for each day of your honeymoon, ready to share.
