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".

Amanda and I discovered each other through a mutual friends recommendation and it was a “click” from the start. Justin almost felt like a third wheel 😉 just kidding. But in all seriousness, I loved capturing this couple, from beginning to end they were filled with energy, excitement and willing to try anything. For the […]

The Vue Corvallis Wedding: Meagan + Evan

Jamie Swanson writes: “The success of your business has nothing to do with the quality of your images” And as much as I hate to admit it, she’s absolutely right. Photography is much more about good business sense, excellent customer service and confidence in sales than any photoshop technique or gorgeous filter. Your clients will […]

Why Sucky Photographers Can Still Beat You

I love photographing at Kelly Pointe Park. It’s a bit out of the city so it’s quieter- fewer people (or other photographers for that matter). As a frequent shooter, I’m always on the hunt for epic locations- and this one is hard to beat. Alecia wanted something super natural, soft- nothing to fake. She wasn’t […]

Highschool hottie: Alecia

Mackenzie and Grant have been sweet-hearts for as long as their family can remember…to have the privilege of capturing their wedding made me feel important indeed. Because photos were so important to them, we really spent a good hour shooting along the waterfront. I LOVE when brides give me this kind of freedom…the photos always […]

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 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."

KATE & CASEY

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!!
