WOW where to start!? Taylor is beyond talented, kind, professional, artistic, and communicative! She made choosing a wedding photographer easy with her beautiful portfolio, great communication, and warm personality! We got to meet her for the first time in January for our engagement shoot and we couldn’t be happier with how our experience went and how our photos turned out! We cannot wait for her to capture our wedding day and would highly recommend her to anyone who wants photos that are lightly posed yet feel candid, editorial feel, and that genuinely captures the essence of the people being photographed!!

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Taylor to capture our intimate wedding in Sooke, BC. When searching for a wedding photographer we sought images that were complimentary to the occasion. The beauty of Taylor’s work was immediately evident as she’s able to capture every couple’s love candidly while simultaneously adding artistic flair. Her lighting choices and posing style captivated us, and from our initial meeting we knew she was the one meant to capture such a special moment for us. She brought the most calming energy to our wedding day and delivered the most beautiful gift of photos we will forever treasure. We hope to have Taylor capture more photos for us as our story continues to evolve. If you have the opportunity to work with Taylor it will be the best decision you make!

We worked with Taylor for our wedding in September 2025, at the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish - and it was the absolute best decision we could have made for our wedding. From the first connection call we had, we felt confident that Taylor could capture our vision (nature-filled, candid, scenic, and most importantly, photos that felt like us!), and appreciated how much time she spent getting to know us and understanding what we were looking for. We really connected to the way Taylor captured couples (as seen on her STUNNING instagram page and website). We knew we had a unique venue, but trusted Taylor’s ability to work with light and nature to find the perfect shots. Taylor’s communication leading up to and during our wedding was great - from the welcome gift, to the multiple touch points, to going above and beyond to scout a location for our first look.. we really felt how important our day was to her as well. Now that we’ve received our photos (which have brought tears to our eyes multiple times!), it’s not an exaggeration to say we still look at them every single day (and show them to everyone we talk to!). We’ve joked about getting married again just to hire Taylor as our photographer again! Working with Taylor was the BEST investment we made for our wedding, and we cannot say enough about how grateful we are for the forever memories she captured for us.

Taylor is pure perfection- from start to finish she makes you feel special with all the small details that are truly big. Aside from her warmth is her insane talent as a photographer. Every single photo is brilliant with depth, color, authenticity, and storytelling. If you have to only pick one vendor, this is it. We get to relive our favorite day over and over

Anika & Grant Wedding

Aug 29, 2025

We booked Taylor's 10 hour wedding package (which included an engagement session), and this was one of the absolute BEST decisions we made for our big day. We got married at Keating Farm on Vancouver Island last week, a venue where Taylor is now a veteran photographer. She was incredibly organized, knew exactly where and when to get the best shots, she took charge when needed and she was super flexible when any hiccups affected our pre-determined timeline. Taylor has an extremely calming presence, which was so appreciated during both our bookings with her. For our engagement shoot, she provided us with the guidance and reassurance we needed to get comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day, she was an anchor on a chaotic day with record-breaking heat. She was an utmost professional on both days, but we got along so well that at this point, we are happy to consider her a friend. Most importantly, we are beyond amazed at the photos she was able to capture from both dates. We're obsessed with her engagement photos -- we have only seen the sneak peaks of our wedding gallery so far (she works FAST), but we are already over the moon with the quality and content of what we've seen. We are both a little on the quieter side, so we were worried we wouldn't be "on" for the cameras they way we needed to be, but Taylor still managed to capture emotional subtleties in our dynamic that reflect us as a couple. Friends and family have told us they start crying when they see our photos - they are artistic, full of emotion, and simultaneously well-choreographed and spontaneous. She captured so many important little moments and details that made our wedding the amazing day it was, and I am so glad the photos allow us to relive all the feelings we experienced that day. At times while directing our photos she reminded us to "trust the process", and I'm SO glad she did - the results truly look like something out of a magazine. Thank you so much, Taylor. We loved working with you so much and we hope we get to work with you again in the future
