I typically wouldn’t write a review for my wedding bc I want to keep it private, but I had to share how WONDERFUL Art Taylor Photography is.
I hired him for my Laguna Beach wedding and he made the entire process of hiring a photographer so simple from beginning to end.
Our photos turned out beautifully and he got them back to us in such a short amount of time. We were so thrilled with the outcome.
Thank you, Art!! We so appreciate you!! ♥️

I was originally worried because I had never planned a party before, much less a wedding. I didn't know much about the process and the way that things were supposed to go. I had a couple phone call mettings with him and he was able to help me with scheduing and potenetial photo places near me. I was also able to voice my concerns about not been able to personally meet Art before the wedding day (because I didn't plan any in person meeting or engagment photos... my fault) and that I was scared that he would be late. Funny enough, everyone one one else was late except Art. In fact, he came early to come meet us before hand. He was super patient with us, especially since we both don't like getting our pictures taken, and he was able to capture some beautiful moments. I am very happy that we found him and I couldn't recomment him enough.

My wife and I used Art to shoot our wedding at a winery in Temecula and he did such a wonderful job. He was able to get our families in great shots, our friends, of course my wife and I getting ready too. I will definitely use Art again for future needs. Thank you Art so much for making my special day great memories whenever we want to look back at our pictures.

I recently just had my wedding on March 5, 2022 and holy smokes I am on cloud 9 mainly because I experienced the funnest time ever with my photographer and videographer! Definitely an experience I would highly recommend to anyone, they were friendly, hilarious, and worked with my budget!! From first contacting them to the last minutes of our goodbyes it was such a pleasure to have met the team! 11/10 would recommend! They let me have all the photos I wanted and even took some I didn't think about. Althought lots of things weren't ideal about the wedding and many things did not go according to my plan (which no wedding is ever perfect lol) however they still did everything they could to make sure they captured all the best moments for us! Im extremely excited and eager to see my photos and video ♥️

My wife and I recently had Art shoot our mini-wedding in October 2020. This year has been nothing short of a roller coaster wedding planning wise. That said Art was a professional and worked with us at every step to make sure we made the best of our day and captured it forever. We held a smaller ceremony than we had originally planned and Art still came out to shoot our wedding. Art arrived on time, was polite, professional and helpful at every turn. A few weeks after the wedding my wife Hillary and I were absolutely stunned to see just how great the photos turned out. They perfectly captured our special day! Most importantly the guests could not believe just how great the photos turned out. We still are getting compliments about them! Best of all we get to have Art back next year for our whole day with all the original guests and I know my wife can't wait for that day and those photos! Thanks Art and can't to see you in 2021!

Art is very professional and his personality makes him a pleasure to work with. The end product was above expectations. We would definitely recommend Art Taylor Photography to anyone looking for a professional who is reasonably priced, with attention to detail. Art does a lot of different types of events and we will definitely be using his services again at our next event.

We just finished our engagement shoot and are delighted by how the photos turned out. Art was very professional and takes great pride in his work. He arrived at the location of the shoot early to scope out the site and find perfect spots to take photos. By the time we arrived he knew exactly where to go. He takes his time and doesn't rush to make sure he got the right shot. He also sent us samples of photos with different editing styles before completing everything to make sure it was to our satisfaction. Highly recommend him!
*UPDATE*
We just got our wedding day photos and love them! We felt at ease with Art and his assistant capturing our day as they had everything under control. He really made the natural colors in the photos pop and even though it was a cloudy day, the photos still looked very vibrant. We were also surprised and ecstatic that Art had captured many candid moments throughout the day that we were not able to see but could look back and enjoy through photos. Thank you Art!!!

For my fiancé and I, our wedding/engagement photos have been one of our top priorities as pictures will be cherished for years to come. The wedding will come and go but our pictures will remain with us through our entire lifetime. Art, has 100% been meeting those expectations. From day one, Art, has been constantly communicating with us and has been taking the time to speak with us. When I first reached out to Art through email, I honestly was not expecting a call from him as other photographers were replying the same copy and paste reply. Art called me right away and spoke with us and answered any questions we had. That spoke a thousand words as he genuinely seemed interested in creating what we have been envisioning in our pictures. Now if that isn’t enough to get you interested to call him, you should see his work. We just received our engagement photos this past weekend and all I can say is WOW! Absolutely amazing work with such detail! Words cannot express how thankful we have been of Art and his work. Looking forward to our wedding pictures.

Art and his team exceeded all of our expectations. From the beginning, we had great communication. All my messages and phone calls were always answered promptly and he worked with our budget and even suggested services that we might/might not need to put together a package that fit my husband and I well. The day of the wedding he was on time and got all the shots that we wanted as well as some that he suggested. My husband and I wanted a green scenery along with some of the LA skyline and his team found us the perfect location. Weddings can be a bit crazy and hectic with so many ppl and trying to meet the timeline but Art reassured us at every step and kept us calm. Thank you for your hard work! I can’t wait to book again for a family or maternity shoot!

From the very first point of contact we felt that Art Taylor was the photographer for us. We set up an appointment to meet him in person and view some of his previous work, which we felt to be of superior quality. Art conducts himself as a professional from beginning to end. He captured everything we could have imagined in our wedding photos. You only have one opportunity to place some of the most priceless moments on film and we were blessed to have Art capture those images for us.

I am 100% happy with the services I received from Art Taylor Photography! Out of all of the photographers that I contacted for quotes Art was the first to respond to me. He responded to all messages I sent him and was very easy to get in touch with. Initially his packages weren't what I was interested in because I was looking for more coverage in place of a photo book and he was willing to work with me and constructed a package that worked for me. During our initial meeting he was professional and answered every single one of my questions. His ability to answer each of my questions with certainty and clarity made me feel assured in booking with him. I already knew that I liked his work, but I liked him as well. Art's website allows for monthly payments and they send you email updates reminding you of them. It was convenient for me to be able to pay online. On the day of my wedding Art and his assistant were on time and set my fiance and I up for our first look. I really didn't know how to pose or stand but they helped me and guided me. Throughout the wedding they showed up when I needed them for pictures with my loved ones and took the initiative to set up shots of the decor and surroundings. I really wanted a service that freed me to enjoy my wedding instead of worrying if the important shots were being taken care of and Art Taylor Photography made it very easy for me. My family commented on how professional and friendly they were. I will comment more on the final product once I receive my photos but I would definitely recommend Art and his team for any of my family and friend's events.

You can't ask for a better team to capture your most special day! Thank you Art, Angie and Eddie for a stupendous show of professionalism and artistry! From the first email response I received from Art to inquire about their services, I already felt his sincerity and passion. When my husband and I met him for the first time, he never pressured us to acquire him. There was no upselling; only honesty in the work he does. He made us feel like we would be working with family. Coupled with an impressive portfilio and a personality we knew would put us at ease, my husband and I knew immediately Art would be a perfect fit. He listens to what you want and gently guides you to elevate your vision. Art was also quick to respond to all my inquiries regardless what time zone I may be sending my emails from. During the wedding, Art, Angie and Eddie were all smiles and calm which helped bring my nerves down. They took great prep shots with my family and gave us sneak peeks of some of the photos! From the first look, romantics, VIP and candid shots, they were all on point with their direction. I have been telling my other single friends to get married already so they can call Art! Thank you for your patience and understanding when friends and family decided to play photographer and get in the way. For all your hard work and dedication to give my husband and I the most important photos of our lives, we can't thank you and your team enough. We will continue to rave about you to other people.

He has not only satisfied me but also my whole family. Art has that skillful eye that knows exactly what background and what angle we look amazing in.

Art Taylor Photography did a phenomenal job as our wedding photographer. They were extremely professional, thoughtful, and prompt in answering questions or concerns.
Our photographer, Bob, captured the day perfectly and didn't miss a single moment. The photos he took are absolutely gorgeous and make me feel as though I am re-living the day as I go through them. I don't remember ever seeing Bob during the ceremony, although I know he must have been running around because there are photos from all angles capturing the moment; this exemplifies his professionalism and experience in that he was able to capture the moment without impeding on it at all. He had a lot of ideas that he brought to the table, but also ensured all of our "must have" shots were taken care of.
I absolutely would recommend Art Taylor Photography for a fantastic experience and batch of photos that will help you re-live your experience over and over!

Art and his team exceeded mine and my fiancés expectations! Not only does he produce amazing work (obviously) but from the day I inquired about an enagagement session, he was incredibly communicative, and so flexible with scheduling, which was not the case with other photographers. They also researched locations based on what I was looking for. They did all the work, and we just showed up! I could not be happier with our stunning pictures, and will appreciate them for a lifetime. You will not regret choosing ATP. Sincere thanks to you, Art!!

Having Art and his team photograph our wedding and capture our special moments is the best decision we could have made! He is so professional, yet knows how to ease the nerves when it comes to crunch time. He is prepared for anything. They go above and beyond to get the perfect shot. He is able to capture all of the special moments without even being seen. Linda would help fix my dress, my veil, or the other small things just to make sure the picture came out perfect. They know how to get all the right angles and all the right lighting to make our pictures flawless. He is such an amazing editor and was able to create something special for my family and I. They are amazing to work with and they will definitely be shooting all of our future events, whether it be a party or just a simple family photo shoot. We know Art and his team are the way to go. We would highly recommend him to anyone!!

Gorgeous photos, talented team, rich colors, and so many incredible candid moments caught! We researched many photographers before selecting Art. We like Art’s documentary style and his use of natural colors in his photography. He documented our day just as we remembered it – our wedding photos are beautiful and have a sincere, yet refined quality to them. We even drove to another site to take shots of my husband and I overlooking the ocean. Art and his team are very personable and they’re focused, yet flexible, making them easy to work with. Excellent quality & superb service!

Absolutely phenomenal! Art and his crew are exactly as the other reviews are describing: attentive, organized, positive and passionate. At first blush, the portfolio caught our eye because of how well they use natural light. We met Art months before our wedding and were a bit nervous about whether we were asking enough or even the right kind of questions. Art quickly put us as ease, was very passionate and speaks perfect “weddingese.” He got a sense of what we were looking for, guided us through some potential approaches and made us feel very comfortable about the wedding we envisioned. The big day came and the crew was truly amazing. No pushiness or nonsense, no ticking clock whatsoever. We’ve all been to weddings before where the photographer is nice but kind of an ass, barking orders to people who are just trying to enjoy themselves. Not these guys- they truly get it. And of course when our photos arrived they were even better than we imagined. We still don’t know how they even snagged some of the shots, manipulated the natural light, etc. True professionals and a terrific experience overall. Both of our families were asking how we found them. So do like we did, take the stress out, and rely on Art and his crew. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again to Art, Bob and Joe – you guys are beyond terrific and we are so thankful for your help on our special day. (And thanks for dealing with our insane family so well, we appreciate that, too!)

Art and his team were phenomenal! First of all they worked with my budget. They are so accommodating and friendly. My wedding was June 4, 2016 and by June 8,2016 he had emailed me saying all my pictures were ready! That's 4 days! The day after the wedding he was sending me pictures from the wedding here and there. At the location we took our wedding pictures at his team was soooo amazing! There were two girls (I'm so sorry I don't remember you names) but they were so friendly, they would fix my hair, my necklace, everything so the pictures would come out perfect. For god sakes Art was blocking the sun from my face and fanning me because it was so hot that day. We were all having so much fun while taking the pictures it wasn't awkward at all. But In all honesty, this team is rally amazing! I highly highly recommend them for an occasion. I will for sure be booking them for an other special occasion. Thank you Art & team!

My fiance and I just had our first shoot with Art for our Save the Date pictures for our wedding and his work is amazing! He is very professional and knows his stuff. It did not take long for him to get the perfect shot. We are very pleased with all of our pictures and would not change a thing! Pictures were available for us to view them the same night! We had such a great time and you would definitely not regret booking him for your event!!

Art Taylor was a first-class photographer. The pictures were absolutely gorgeous, and he captured all of the key moments of our wedding. Taking advantage of the outdoor scenery and natural light (including capturing photos at sunset) was really important to us - he nailed it, the photos are breathtaking. Art’s indoor photos of ceremony moments, guests, and dancing were stunning as well. He has a great eye and captured some magical pictures. He had great ideas and was considerate of ours as well. Not only did we have a great time working with Art, countless guests complimented Art & Bob's professionalism, good nature, and flexibility. Everything was smooth, starting with our first contact with Art weeks beforehand. Our wedding day was full of changes due to thunderstorms, and Art responded extremely well. It was a true pleasure to have them as part of our special day. I highly recommend him. Thank you Art!!

Art and his team were absolutely amazing for our September 6th wedding in Manhattan Beach.They are an efficient, well-rounded team and I would 100% recommend them for any wedding!
Booking experience: When we first met with Art at a coffee house, he came across as one of the nicest guys that my wife and I had ever met. He's very affable, understanding, funny and passionate about his work. He walked us through some of his photos from prior weddings, including standard photos and his more creative shots (which were incredible). He asked us several questions in order to understand exactly what type of pictures we were looking for. After our answers, he perfectly summarized our expectations of our wedding photos and assured us that he would be able to meet/exceed our expectations. We had some concerns with some of our other vendors (flowers, etc) but we never had to worry about Art and his team doing an amazing job. And his price was also extremely cheap!
Leading up to the ceremony: Art was extremely flexible. He asked us to send him the wedding schedule when we had a chance and didn't complain when my work got busy and it took me longer than expected to send it over to him. He drove to the venue a month before the wedding to see the layout and plan how he could best capture the event. He also asked us think of specific design pictures for me with my groomsman and my wife with her bridesmaids in case we came up with any creative ideas, because he would go out of his way to make it happen.
On the day of the wedding: Art and his team arrived 30 minutes early so that they were completely set up and ready to start taking photos at the scheduled time. They were EXTREMELY efficient throughout the event while remaining respectful of our day. They brought a team of 3 photographers and one coordinator (Linda, who was courteous and did a great job at gathering our large families together for a picture immediately following the ceremony). Everyone on Art's team was nice, professional and creative. They were like a fly on the wall for the majority of the event, but took SO MANY pictures. Several of our guests commented on how amazing they were throughout the wedding night. Our wedding ran behind schedule after dinner (unrelated to pictures, which were completed on schedule) and Art and his team stayed late for us at little extra charge (much less than it should have been). A day after the ceremony, he sent us a sample of some untouched pictures and they look amazing. He is going to get us finished pictures a week after the wedding, which is much faster than the other photographers we had talked to before the event. My wife and I are so happy that we hired Art Taylor Photography to capture our wedding day!
