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 Wedding Anniversaries are right around the corner which means it’s perfect time for a Portland boudoir mini session. Portland Boudoir sessions are based out of our studio in SE Portland, and include up to 4 looks and 10 digital files. It’s an hour of relaxed fun in front of my camera with me guiding […]
Wow. The Green Villa wedding venue is simply stunning. With a profusion of cultivated gardens, on site gazebo, lush grounds and expansive reception, it is easily the best wedding venue in Independence. Just an hour South of Portland, Green Villa invites guests to explore the grounds, cocktail in hand while watching the sunset filtering through […]
The Aerie at Eagle landing is a wedding venue truly unique on the Portland landscape. With a cobbled courtyard for the ceremony and a stately indoor ballroom it feels like an upscale country club without the golf. 😉 Portland bride and grooms have found the staff helpful, inviting and more than accommodating to various needs […]

Annie Wright School in Tacoma in a stunning (and I mean stunning) wedding venue. Unexpected, dripping with old-world romance, charming, grand– it’s got all the makings for a perfect host for your wedding soiree.

First Presbyterian Tacoma is a historic edifice of romantic grandeur. Bride and Groom’s have been making their wedding vows under the stain glass windows for decades and on this chilly Saturday in Janurary, Steve and Sarah joined the throng. With only a brief 3 month engagement, many hands joined together to put on this […]
Salem First United Methodist Church is a historic edifice that is a ideal for a wedding, and a winter wedding at that! Tyler and Gabrielle were tucked away in the recesses of the church awaiting the moment when they would soon become man and wife. Friends and family bustled about, finalizing last minute details, scuttling through […]
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!!
