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".

Eric had just moved from Montana and was putting down his roots in Portland. It was a new chapter and a new beginning. At first, his employment was just a stable respectable job, clock in, clock out, and pay the bills. All that changed when he met Cassandra. Whether it was her ethereal beauty or […]
Kendi and her darling daughter Mila were the topic of conversation. Kendi’s dad was on a hunting trip along with Derek and a few others. Not once, but several times Dad mentioned how much he’d love Derek to be introduced to his daughter, Kendi. Pulling out his phone, he showed them off, Kendi and Mila, […]
Sometimes you do a shoot that you actually felt a tinge of pride in. Yes, we are all too familiar with the constant barrage of self-doubt and discontent with our photography work. But this shoot, for me, was special. The light, the textures- it was so satisfying to shoot at the Schoolhouse Electric Building here […]
When you walk into a corporate restaurant like the Olive Garden, you are greeted with reliable service, standard unchanging menu and predictable dining. Now walk into a chef-owned restaurant. The menu is small, particularly curated, the service is personal and the entire experience is more hands-on, high touch. The owner has so much more invested […]
It’s a very special day when you see how old your “little” brother is- he’s done grow’d up and gettin’ married! It has been such a joy to see these two come together. Their romance was kindled in the quiet town of Moscow, Idaho while Sam was rooming with Gracie’s family, attending school. Little did […]
I got my new camera and new lenses. Now I don’t know what to shoot photos of? -Sincerely, Puzzled Dear Puzzled, I think to answer this question, you really have to ask yourself a couple questions. What Inspires You? What do you gravitate towards? There are general categories of photography: Food, Fine Art, Portraits, Lifestyle, […]
So many of you may know that Husby and Wifey just moved into their first home. Yes, 4 bedrooms and a long anticipated fireplace. Wifey is now an official expert in home buys and a Craigs-lister to the core. Meanwhile Husby is exerting his Mountain Man bravado and chopping wood for the fire like he’s […]
The more you get immersed into the photography world, the more you realize how much MONEY you can spend on equipment, workshops, travel, conferences, software, gear, gear and more gear. Every new training session you enjoy you find new equipment to buy, new upgrades to purchase or new memberships to join. I’m here to say- […]
The Pomeroy Farms is as ideallic as it gets if you love rustic weddings. The rolling green and ginormous tree are set-up perfectly for the ceremony…Boy I was glad for that shade, goodbye racoon eyes! (ha- it rhymes!) You’ll probably want to check out Ben + Christina’s engagement session, it’s pretty epic. But for now, enjoy […]
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!!
