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".

We met at Cathedral park, just in time for that evening light. If ever there was a couple who were perfect counterparts, Gina and Michael are it. She brings light and laughter, while he grounds her bringing stability and strength.When he first saw her profile on the popular Match.com it was a kinetic connection. Michael […]
For a long time I was a little embarassed by my emotions. I would stuff them down under a composed exterior, the in-control Christa. It wasn’t until I met and fell in love with my own dear Husband that I finally became comfortable with embracing them. Not only have I become more relateable (so my […]
A wedding isn’t just a wedding. It’s an event that integrates the personalities, vision, taste and passion of two individuals. Never has that been more obvious to me than this Zenith Vineyard Wedding. For the first time ever, I was completely surprised by a twist in the ceremony. Aaron Pratt and Whitney Stevens have chosen […]
Dear Christa, When you’re talking with your brides, how do you make sure you have enough time for photos? Do you use their timeline or create your own and run it by them? I keep getting really confused communicating before the wedding on what happens when! Please help! Sincerely, Running out of time Dear […]
The excitement was mounting as Kelly arrived that morning, her smile radiating anticipation at seeing her groom. Mom and sisters gathered round and helped her into her dress as Travis waited outside. Oaks Park Dance Pavilion was such a vibrant location, the amusement rides and shouts of happy park visitors filled the air as a […]
We snuck this Portland Waterfront Engagement shoot in by the seat of our pants. Whitney and Aaron say their “I dos” THIS coming Saturday. So it is with great joy that we found a time to get comfortable and sneak in some super hot engagement photos a week before the big day. The Portland waterfront […]
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!! Her baby is the cutest most joyful girl just like her momma! 💕There are not words to reccomend Christa highly enough! 💕We love you Christa!!
