VOGUE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
THE
JOURNAL
I love the chemistry between a man and a woman. The romance, the energy, the intimacy-- and when, at their best, they really do pull out greatness in the other.
I have experienced many subjects and genres of photography over the years, but wedding photography always draws me back. The sheer intensity, the 'once in a lifetime' nature of it, and so much diversity in one day. From details (still life), family portraits, documentary photography, food, fashion photography-- Weddings have it all. I believe Simon Sinek said it best:
"Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress; working hard for something we love is called passion".
FAVOURITES
This is one of my favorite engagement to date, the film, the colors- the couple! It was a perfect day at the Beach even though we were surounded by thousands of Spring Break vacationers. With a little creativity it worked beautifully. Many thanks to Caprice Hammon Styling for the beautiful hair/makeup on Marissa. Fuji […]
For the second year running we invested in a booth at the stunning Luxe Bridal Event at one of our favorite venues: Castaway. Here’s a few behind the scenes from the runway show, featuring Nature of Isa designs and Portland newest bridal boutique: The White Dress. The details were all captured on my medium format […]
Double wedding Portland, Oregon. Have you ever been to a double wedding? Neither had I. This incredible event was such a privilege to be a part of. I’m still sitting here slightly dumbfounded that these two beautiful brides got married simultaneously before my very eyes. It’s such a joy to be able to share some […]
Capturing the love of Daniel and Lizzie on their wedding day was such a delight. They were two fingers of the same hand, so unified in heart and spirit. It was with great anticipation that Lizzie slipped into her wedding gown at the Portland White House eagerly looking forward to meeting her groom. Meanwhile, Daniel, […]
Portland glamor photos aren’t about boas and blurry butterfly backgrounds. It’s about having the guts to exist in photos for your children. How many moms out there ever get photographed? How many are actually in front of the camera vs behind it? As a family, we’ve often spent many holidays looking through old photos albums […]
Portland Boudoir photos can vary so much. From super sappy 80s style to beautifully airy photos full of light. Personally, boudoir for me is about light and mood. I love the dramatic feel to this entire session, completely photographed on old-school film. I based the way I use light on who the client is and […]
Today is their anniversary. They just had their second little girl. 4 Years ago I photographed their wedding… These are the couples I love to photograph: “Today marks 4 years of being married to the most amazing man! I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and loving husband. I wouldn’t want to go through life […]
Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way.

Long before I was engaged, I knew I wanted Christa Taylor Photography to capture the special moments of my wedding. She more than met our expectations, and seldom a month goes by without somebody telling us how gorgeous our wedding pictures turned out!
Working with Christa is like finding some awesome girlfriend who completely gets you and can show you the beauty in whatever project you're undertaking. I recommend her to every bride I work with! Thank you, Christa, for your incredible work!

Christa is absolutely PHENOMENAL! My husband and I are beyond blessed to have had her capture our day! She was so great at directing people kindly and having fun too! She's a blast and we enjoyed the day more because of her! We loved getting to know her and she even had us to her home the week after our wedding for a brief photo shoot since the weather had been bad on the wedding day...she really went above and WAY beyond the call of a photographer and became our friend! She's the type we'd schedule a photo shoot with simply to see her and catch up!! There are not words to reccomend Christa highly enough! 💕We love you Christa!!
