  (as the photographer) Yes, we all want moveable, easy clothing, however, it doesn’t serve as an excuse to show up on your client’s wedding day looking like you’re going to paint the walls of your mom’s house. Remember that how you look like when you show up at your client’s special event will ultimately […]

What to Wear to a Wedding

Tom + Claire (my brother and sister-in-law) shared their vows on the shore of Flathead lake surrounded by intimate friends and family. It was such a privilege capturing the love between two of my own family. After the reception we stole away for 10 minutes to capture some of that gorgeous evening light. For those […]

Flathead Lake Wedding: Tom + Claire

Well…not really. Wifey’s just wanted to for so long, she practically can envision the entire scenario. Big blue burning barrel….jeans soaked in kerosine. Stuffed in barrel. Light a match. VOOM. Outdated saggy pants are engulfed in flames. I’m sorry Arizona brand, you done me wrong for long enough. Rest in peace. Wifey did not realize marrying […]

Advents of Husby & Wifey: They Burnt The Pants

A basketball star and all-around athlete, Connor was super chill and willing to do anything- and when you’re with this lady, that could be anything ;P

HighSchool Hottie: Connor

I hope I’m still as good a friends with my Husby as Kristen is with Scott. They still tease each other, laugh at each other and hold their memories. They still go on dates. They still hold hands after 9 years of life together. Kristen, I started tearing up as I finished these photos- and […]

Portland Waterfront Portraits: Kristen + Scott

When it comes to wedding photography, most of us think of the bigger things first- the classic “money shots”. While I love those shots- I think some of the smaller details, like the wedding rings get over-looked. These details are what ultimately will lead to getting your wedding published- which is always good right? Beautiful […]

Groomsmen Inspiration: Shark Tank

This is the sneak peak of this STUNNING wedding. Thanks to my jerry-rigged light- we had just enough to set them apart from their background and capture this moment.

Carver, Or Wedding: April + Jamen

Because everyone loves to see who’s really making  everything perfect. Consider this a toast to my UHmazing assistant and second shooter Bianca Jade and my favorite stylist Caprice Hammon. Together we are unstoppable (and easily the best triage of talent in Portland ;P )

Pop Art Bridal Shoot: Behind the Scenes

Ever since I first read the pages of Jeeves and Wooster some 10 years ago, I fell madly in love with the british humorist P.G. Wodehouse. British humor isn’t for everyone, but this guy. is. good. Witty, hilarious, really a dash of fresh life to our blase’ American vocabulary. Watch a bit of the stuff […]

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. 

WE ARE SOULMATES

"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."

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!!
