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".

Congratulations Jen, your wedding will be published on A Paper Proposal this Spring 😀 While Jen and Michael drove up for the engagement session at St John’s Bridge (check out here) the wedding itself was to be held 5 hours south, in Medford, OR. It was a beautiful crisp day and Bianca (my faithful second […]
I have a hard-back book fetish. Kindle? Heck no. Give me a hardcover and a creamy page with Bookman font. Yum. The way the dust-jacket bubbles occasionally, makes my fingers holding it dance a happy jig. And, then of course, there’s the smell…you bookies out there know exactly what I’m talking about. 😀 I just […]
The Schmitt family is marked by mirth and joviality. They just don’t stop smiling. This particular afternoon (in our favorite time of day for portraits) was exceptionally lively and poignant. Thank you for the privilege of letting me enter and capture the Schmitt “inner circle”, I loved every minute! Unfaltering Warmth. Gleeful Spirit. Little Hooligans.
What better time for a photo shoot than a frigid January morning? Before my hands were so numb I couldn’t feel my trigger, Katie, Adam and my assistant Ashley (brave souls) trudged around, catching these happy moments. Using a fun technique called, “prisming” popularized by one of my photo heroes – Sam Hurd. And Hello […]
Learning photography is exhaustless.It is truly an admirable addiction for new techniques, ideas and horizons. At my wedding, a few short months past, our photographer Nate Perkes mentioned a technique he was inculcating: the Brenizer method. New to me, I looked it up…thank you google. Named after NY photographer, Ryan Brenizer, the Brenizer method also […]
It’s time to get outside the box. Do something you would never have thought or dared to try. Yes. A Valentines shoot for your man. Heck, bring him along if he wants to! Don’t have a man? Then do it for yourself. Sisters, girlfriends, they are welcome, come for moral support or be photographed together. […]
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!!
