HI, I’M Taylor

In the intricate fabric of my life, the allure of beauty has woven its way through every chapter, unveiling itself in corners frequently missed by hurried glances. My admiration for the sublime blossomed in my childhood, finding joy in the simple act of collecting dandelions, leaves, and rocks—each possessing a unique charm discernible only to my youthful eyes. As the years unfolded, my reverence for the unembellished, wild beauty of nature intensified, establishing it as the most profound source of inspiration.

Within the rich tapestry of cultural expressions, I stumbled upon the Japanese term "wabi sabi"—a linguistic gateway to an aesthetic realm that venerates the imperfect and the transitory. This concept is an art form encapsulating the very essence of appreciating the transient beauty intrinsic to the natural world.

The compulsion to immortalize these perfectly imperfect moments led me to grasp a camera, a tool that became an extension of my vision. Yet, beyond the technical aspects of photography, it is the interplay of human connection and boundless creativity that continues to fuel my artistic passion. I perceive my purpose on this Earth as more than a mere observer; rather, it is a calling to keenly notice and document those seemingly insignificant moments that collectively weave the tapestry of your unique story.

As I embark on this visual journey, I aim not merely to capture images but to translate emotions and narratives into visual poetry. The lens becomes a conduit for storytelling, and every click is an ode to the nuanced beauty that permeates our existence. Through the artistry of my lens, I strive to not only freeze moments in time but to amplify their significance, allowing them to resonate as timeless echoes in the tapestry of your memories.

Learn about my Philosophy and what inspired me to become a photographer. 

In the realm of photography, my mission transcends the mere act of capturing images; it's about curating an immersive and gratifying experience for my clients. From our initial consultation to the delivery of the final photographs, I am committed to ensuring that every step of our journey is marked by comfort, connection, and excellence.

Recognizing the vulnerability that can accompany being in front of the lens, I prioritize creating a relaxed and welcoming environment. Through attentive listening and understanding, I aim to forge a connection that goes beyond the technical aspects of photography. This personalized approach sets the stage for a collaborative process where your vision takes center stage.

Capturing genuine moments hinges on your comfort, and I go the extra mile to establish rapport. While providing gentle guidance, I remain attuned to the spontaneous beauty of the moment. Whether it's a candid smile, a tender glance, or an unscripted gesture, my goal is to immortalize the authenticity of your story.

The pursuit of excellence doesn't end with the click of the shutter. I invest time and attention in the post-production phase, meticulously enhancing each image to bring out its full potential. This dedication ensures that the final collection not only meets but exceeds your expectations.

Ultimately, my aim is for you to not just love the final photographs but to relish the memories intertwined with the entire process. Your satisfaction is paramount, and I take pride in delivering not only a service but a comprehensive experience. Through this journey, I strive to provide you with a collection of images that not only reflect your unique style and vision but also evoke joy, nostalgia, and the genuine essence of the moments we've shared.

"There are few things that inspire and excite me more than photography!"

My journey into photography isn't just about capturing moments; it's a passionate exploration, a dive into the profound beauty that often goes unnoticed. Motivated by a deep connection to the world, each photoshoot is a new narrative, a chance to uncover the extraordinary in the ordinary.

My style is a blend of candid intimacy and cinematic flair—a unique experience where every frame tells a vivid story. What sets me apart? It's the commitment to translating your emotions into timeless visual narratives, infusing personality into every shot.

I don't just freeze moments; I create a visual legacy. Your photos aren't just images; they're windows into your history, tokens of a day echoing through time. With every click, I'm crafting an ode to the beauty and emotion that defined your unique story.

“Every wedding, every shoot, I see the world through a whole new lens. Your story will be different from the last, and this ignites my passion all over again.”

On your big day, I don't just show up with a camera; I bring an unwavering commitment to capturing the heartbeat of your wedding—an experience that goes beyond the ordinary. Picture this: I'll arrive at first light, fueled by anticipation and one too many coffees, ready to immortalize the mother-of-the-bride and the bridal squad weaving their magic. I'll be there, buzzing with energy, as the groomsmen sneak a few nerve-calming drinks.

My role extends beyond being a mere observer; I'm your visual storyteller. From the getting-ready chaos to the heartfelt ceremony, vibrant reception, and even the afterparty if that's part of your story—I'm there, front and center or blending into the background. I've honed my skills through countless weddings, ensuring a seamless flow so you can savor every moment.

I document the candid and the orchestrated, capturing the essence of your day. Whether it's the stolen glances, laughter, or the unexpected antics like Aunt Doris hitting the dance floor a bit too hard, nothing escapes my lens. My goal is to create a visual narrative that not only reflects the beauty of your love but also preserves the quirks and details that make your day uniquely yours.

So, rest assured, from the early morning hustle to the late-night celebrations, I'm not just a photographer; I'm your visual companion, ensuring that every nuance, every emotion, and every unforgettable detail is captured for you to relive for years to come.

Rain, hail or shine, I won’t miss a beat

Outside of capturing love stories, my world is colored by a few cherished quirks. When I'm not behind the lens, you might find me immersed in my favorite hobby – exploring local food scenes. From quaint cafes to hidden gems, I'm on a perpetual quest for culinary delights that tickle my taste buds.

My downtime is a symphony of simple pleasures, often spent with my furry companions who bring an extra dose of joy to my days. Family is my anchor, and my hometown, with its familiar streets and nostalgic corners, is where my heart finds solace.

Traveling is another love of mine. There's a unique thrill in experiencing different cultures and landscapes—it's a reminder that our world is a canvas of diverse stories waiting to be discovered. And yes, I'm always up for documenting love stories in far-off places; after all, love knows no boundaries.

So, whether it's savoring a bowl of ramen, snuggling with my pets, or jetting off to capture love in exotic locales, these are the threads that weave the tapestry of my life. It's a little peek into who I am, a soul wandering this beautiful earth, just like you. Each person, each place, has a unique story to share, and that's why I LOVE documenting love stories—hoping to capture the essence of yours too!
