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".

When you have a set of THE most gorgeous doe eyes like Leanne, you can see why it’s easy for people to assume she’s “more innocence” than the passionate and competent woman she is. Leanne Miller Media (yay for Portland Photographers!) was a dream to work with. Her genuine passion for life, fearlesslness and effortless […]
4 years ago, I was running a clothing line, full website, and product coming out of my ears. While a glamorous job, it wasn’t worth the remuneration I was getting for the sacrifice my family and I were investing. Struggling, and not a little frustrated, I started to look for other options. Meanwhile, I had […]
After 2 years of working full-time as a photographer, I was feeling more confident and ready to see my work published. But where to begin? Do I have to sift through thousands of wedding blogs and submit my photos in their particular format and hope they get accepted? That’s when Jasmine Star and her […]
1. Get skills- Creative live is an excellent resource to learn from the experts on any kind of photo knowledge (and it’s free!) Understanding Exposure, 3rd Edition: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any Camera was my favorite resource for understanding the fundamentals of manual exposure and The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes walked me through working […]
I’ve never been good at self-promotion, who amongst us is right?? So how do we push ourselves in a fruitful direction?

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!!
