Why I Love Weddings and Women

What I love to shoot- what I really shoot best- is weddings and women.
It took me some time to realize that as a photographer you shouldn’t shoot every subject that crosses your path just for the money. Find what you love, and figure out how to make money capturing it.
Until you define who you are you cannot market your brand or put yourself out there with any sense.
Focus only on the things you love. Show that, and that is the type of clients you will start getting.

For me, the romance and kinetic energy of couples sets me soaring. I love telling the story- the details, the passion, the laughter, the golden light. Weddings and engagements have an energy all their own.

The same goes for women- I know what a beautiful photo looks like, and I want to capture that for every woman I encounter. Not famous women, not gorgeous already-been-photographed women, but the relatable girl-next-door, from 8 to 80. To truly create and capture a connection on film, that is what I love. Feminine, modern, contemporary glamour- so good you’d put it on display in your home. Women want to be younger, slimmer, and gorgeous. They want to feel beautiful inside and out. I think I’m finally getting it- how to give them that experience.

Lots to learn and think about over the Holidays as I brainstorm for 2013. A few changes are in the works I think 😉

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!!
