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
The Boyfriend often teases girlfriend for her passion for anything zingy. I mean, ZINGY. I love capers, pickles, sauerkraut (who spells that anyway?), lemons, pickled cauliflower, asparagus, mustard… Come on- Who’s with me? Oh yumminess. While I’m a hopeless addict to anything sickeningly sour I am not…a fan of chocolate. I hear mirrors shattering […]
“…I’ve shot here like 5 zillion times. I am such a lame photographer. Christa, that wall mural can be shot only so many times.” Yea. You’ve been there. The creative juices have long since ebbed away to nothingness and you’re left with a paint brush and no paint. To avoid creative melt-down- here’s what I […]
January 2011 I shot their first kiss as husband and wife. Nearly 12 months later I shot another set of kisses. They are more seasoned, but as happily in love and better friends than ever. Anna, Seriously girl. You are so gorgeous. Those green eyes just KILL me. We forgot that snow generally means […]
Making your clients feel comfortable starts with understanding how it feels yourself. When was the last time YOU stood on the other side of the camera and had your photos taken? Put your camera down. Put on something you feel hot in and get your photos taken. Don’t feel photo-genic? Neither did I. For […]
You are hauling gear, you are hauling bags, totes, reflectors, lenses…all this STUFF! So what do you wear that fits the criteria of photographer and sophisticate simultaneously? I once heard a wise photographer say: “look like a guest at the wedding who just happens to have a really nice camera.” While not everyone can manage […]
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.

"Christa, you are such a delight to work with. You bring so much energy and direction to a photo shoot. The photographs you take, are truly a reflection of your talent and passion in photography."
"you bring so much energy
and direction to a photo shoot...."
"Christa is incredible. She really gets to know you, makes you feel comfortable and takes fabulous photos. Christa took our engagement photos, did a boudoir photo shoot for kate and did our wedding. We couldn't be happier with her.
"Christa is professional, fun, creative and in touch with her clients. She makes everyone look and feel beautiful. We could not be happier with her and her work."

work.."

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!!
