Opt For Epic

up to the wedding, she was always available to email, text, and call, and she took away all of the stress of wedding/elopement planning. On the day of the wedding, she was so kind and patient and all of our family loved her just as much as we did. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which we didn't have any prior experience with) and just captured the love involved in our day. We couldn't be happier with our experience and how the pictures turned out and would absolutely recommend her to any couple eloping on Mount Desert Island!

nfamiliar area, tourist congestion, etc.. But she assured me that it will be perfect. She gave me the ideal time, area, and all the information needed to make this happen. Rest assured, everything worked out just as I hoped. Pictures were amazing. It was 100% worth it and I’ll remember that day for the rest of my life. Needless to say, her knowledge, professionalism, and experience was money very well spent.

h our proposal in Acadia National Park and I am so grateful that such a talented photographer and sweet human was there to immortalize such a special moment in our lives. She captured the pure intimacy of our experience. The resulting images put our natural and authentic emotions on display to the fullest with a highly elevated, artistic quality and depth. Even once I realized that she had been taking photos the entire time during the proposal, we felt completely at ease...nothing like some other photo sessions I've observed in public, none of the awkwardness or overly contrived posing and direction. Looking at the photos again and again, my eyes can't help but water with tears of joy. Every photo is so beautiful that I always have difficulty choosing which ones to show to friends and family. Taylor's professionalism, joyful demeanor, patience, and willingness to hike to the proposal location also deserve great appreciation and admiration. I would highly recommend Opt for Epic to all!

on a week in advance (it was a remote hike) to find a suitable spot. We received a full album of over 100 photos within 24 hours, all of them retouched and in a beautiful format for us to download! I have never seen / heard that, as most other vendors I inquired normally take up to 3 days for a limited selection of photos. Her eye for good shots / angles / motives is fantastic and will make you look much better than you do in real life ;) 1000% recommended, OptforEpic is a gem.

. Taylor recommended a spot that met all my needs, scoped it out a week early to make sure that the spot wasn't too crowded and the light was just right. And of course, the photos came out amazing. Memories we will have forever. Could not recommend Opt For Epic enough, they go above and beyond to make sure that your experience is a perfect as you imagine!

us - professional, friendly, and truly listened to what we were looking for. I sent Taylor images that I found online to represent what we wanted, and she exceeded our expectations. Not only did she take the time to explore Acadia to find us our perfect photo spots to reflect what we wanted, she helped our awkward selves with the perfect guidance throughout the shoot to makes us feel comfortable, relaxed, and able to have fun! We had SO much fun with Taylor during our session! I highly recommend Taylor if you’re looking for amazing photos, professional service, and a great personality to make your photo session one to remember.

photos. We were clueless on how to act and Taylor took care of everything with grace and joy. She was very comunicative, interested in finding out our expectations and concerns and yet giving us the confidence that she knew the Where, When and How to make our dream-photos come true. And that is exactly what she did. On the day of our session she not only made us feel comfortable with her super sweet personality but also provided a real adventurous experience. She loves what she does and that makes all the difference. Thank YOU Taylor, we are happy for having you as part of our story ! “

quickly. When we met, I was very impressed with her professionalism, friendly disposition, and keen eye. She even arrived an hour early to scope out the best areas that were not busy. She made us very comfortable and her pictures of us were even more perfect than I could have imagined. Thank you for capturing these magical moments of my husband and I. We will cherish them for a lifetime.

as so helpful and flexible throughout the whole postponement. She listened and really understood our vision, while also capturing those "little" moments. Guests at our wedding thought she was a friend of ours with how comfortable we were with her. Our pictures came out SO beautifully, better than I could have even imagined. I honestly could keep going on and on, but simply put, I cannot recommend her enough!

ress off, to capturing my wedding it was everything I could have asked for and more. Taylor has a way of taking charge and taking stress from any situation with ease. Her and Kareem are so wonderful I couldn't be happier and more thankful for all their hard work! AND their photos are AMAZING to say the least! I would recommend her a thousand times over.

truly blended in so naturally with our wedding party and guests. The pictures are absolutely stunning and we could not be happier with the photographs from our special day. I would recommend Taylor Paige Photography to anyone who is looking for a phenomenal wedding photographer!

us feel so at ease and comfortable being in front of the camera. They were always open to suggestions if I had ideas for photos and listened to us when we shared what our expectations for the day were. They were extremely friendly, incredibly flexible and so easy to work with but also able to provide direction and structure when our day started to run behind. After first getting engaged, Taylor was what I envisioned for the day. After seeing her photograph a few friends family portraits and their special day, I knew I couldn't go through our wedding without her. Taylor (and Kareem) are absolutely someone you want to have as a vendor going through this process!

onable and made us all feel very comfortable. They were open-minded and helpful throughout the day. We loved our photos. They are the best and we would definitely use them again for future occasions. 💗

the mood relaxed and positive throughout the day - which is very important to have people like that around on your big day. Taylor was the photographer for my 2 cousins weddings previously, and their pictures came out stunning so I knew she was the right choice. Taylor shared a few pictures just a couple days after our wedding and they are just beautiful! I would HIGHLY recommend Taylor Paige Photography to anyone!

rganize everyone and take all of the pictures we wanted with ease. She captured moments through out the day without me or my husband even noticing. If you are looking for a friendly, experienced, talented photographer look no further!

exactly what we were hoping for, and made the most perfect suggestions in order to capture the day perfectly. Her and Kareem make such a great team, and they really made the day fun. From the church, to outdoor ocean cliff photographs, to dancing pictures at the reception, down to the little details and capturing the personality of family members in between.. she can do it all and all of her pictures are consistently beautiful. She is professional, organized, talented, calm, funny, helpful, and will literally jump across cliffs with you in order to get the perfect shot. I can’t say enough great things about Taylor any bride would be lucky to have her photograph your special day, she is simply the best!

passion really shows through her work. All of their photos were amazing, and we have so many beautiful shots! Words cannot express our gratitude to you both for making our day perfect!

t all the points that we wanted.... AND MORE! Honestly you'd be crazy not to book her for your special day! Thank you again for capturing all of the love that filled the air on our wedding day! You guys are the BEST!!!!!!!!!

through our photos, so we knew that we needed someone to help us capture every little thing. We are so happy we choose Taylor to document our elopement. She helped us capture each part of the day perfectly! We have received so many compliments on how the photos turned out. In addition to her beautiful photos, Taylor has a calming demeanor and a special way about her that helps relieve any stress. We were so happy with our experience on our wedding day that we choose Taylor to photograph our reception party two months later, and we will always use her for our professional photos.

down to earth, she seemlessly blends in to your day, capturing all of the candid moments without being an intrusive presence (which in my mind, makes a great vendor!). She also has you complete a thorough shot list questionnaire to ensure all of the formal shots and special details you want photographed are captured. Taylor brought along her fiance, Kareem, as a second shooter who was so nice! Kareem worked with the groom and groomsmen all day, which they loved since he seemed like just another one of the guys. Dan loves his groomsmen shots! It was also nice to have two people to help corral and direct our rather large bridal party during those big group shots. Not only are Taylor and Kareem a pleasure to work with, their photography is beautiful. Taylor's work is simply stunning and natural looking, without being overly edited or retouched. We love the photo album that came with our package, which now has found it's home on our coffee table so we can flip through it whenever we want. If you have the chance to work with Taylor, lock her down!

ach smile! We had a lot of last minute changes to our unconventional wedding plans and Taylor was SO accommodating, making time for us and listening to what exactly we wanted (even driving out the day after a snowstorm, giving us the perfect Winter Wonderland photoshoot!). I recommend Taylor so highly, and I hope I can work with her again in the future!

t of our special day and was ready to capture every moment & even the smallest details of our wedding. As a couple that was unaccustomed to taking professional photos, we appreciated how comfortable she made us feel throughout the event. With Taylor we knew we could just be ourselves! She also did a great job of striking a balance between formal and candid photos, while also being creative about incorporating different background settings. Her photos came out absolutely beautiful and better than we ever could have imagined. We are so grateful for the great work that Taylor did for us and would highly recommend her to anyone!

eous! Totally professional and so easy to work with. Both Taylor and Kareem felt like friends the second we met...if they are available for your wedding, book them!

reach out to her about it, she got a lawyer involved immediately and wouldn't respond. My emails to her were very professional and I was willing to work with her to get it fixed. She missed so many very important pictures. She didn't take any picture of the bridesmaids getting ready in the bathroom, she missed the father of the bride memorial chair at the ceremony, she didn't take any pictures of guests arriving, and she had us fill out a form online for the pictures we wanted during cocktail hour. She claims that she had the form on her phone, but I never once saw her look at it, and she missed about 10 different shots we requested. Including pictures with everyone in the bridal party individually, and an individual shot with our mothers individually. This is not where the problems ended... She spent most of the reception down stairs sitting on the couch with her boyfriend who she claimed to be training. She also spent time posting about her other fitness business in her facebook page during the hours we had hired her for. Beware she has a great personality until you confront her about anythi g that you feel went wrong. She doesn't respond for weeks, and at one point we almost considered hiring another photographer because she want answering any emails phone calls or texts for months before the wedding. Do your research. Her pictures may seem great, but your wedding day isn't something you can redo... you can't go back and get the moments she will miss.

turing all the moments we needed her to without being a distraction or stealing us away from the event. She also listened to what we wanted (mostly candids and not an excessive amount of posed shots) and completely delivered. Would hire her again for portraits in a heartbeat!

hone to discuss details she was not only fun to talk to but also demonstrated that she knew her stuff and could understand what my husband and I wanted in particular for our wedding. She took our great ideas and added to them. As the wedding got closer and the weather looked less than ideal she was a great resource in figuring out how to make the most of our pictures on what was supposed to be a very rainy day. On the day of the wedding her and her boyfriend (who acted as a second photographer) came and not only helped organize us for photos but also help coordinate the transportation from the hotel to first look and coordinate the groomsmen and bridesmaids getting to the right places. As a bride that had never been in another wedding let alone gone to another wedding, Taylor’s expertise and calm nature (in the pre ceremony chaos) was so appreciated. She captured every moment of our wedding without being up front in personal with the camera and I felt like not one detail was missed. I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with her and am so happy that we chose her to capture our amazing day!

mmend working with her, and here are my top reasons why: 1) very friendly and makes you feel super comfortable 2) priced competitively 3) quick turnaround on photos 4) clear, organized process (e.g. sends you a survey before photoshoot to collect all requests) 5) most importantly: quality and quantity - takes tons of beautiful photos that you can relive your special day through forever Thank you again, Taylor!

edding day would not have been complete without her. Taylor is a very talented photographer, and I recommend her for any occasion.

with how comfortable and sweet Taylor was! She is by far the best I have yet to see and my family agrees!

urally to either me or my now-husband in front of the camera. We got so many comments from our wedding guests about how friendly and professional Taylor and her second shooter, Raya, were. We ended up with over 1000 absolutely beautiful photos of our day. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Hiring Taylor was one of the best wedding decisions we made!

se her to be our photographer. Her work is absolutely stunning and she makes you feel so comfortable during the entire process. My family and friends continue to comment on how easy going and fun she was to be around on our wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend Taylor- you won't be disappointed! Thank you Taylor!!!

e for the important highlights of the day. Not only did she capture the bride and groom perfectly, but she also thoroughly documented the decorations, the reception, and all the guests, leaving us with a wonderful array of beautiful photographs that we will always be able to treasure. She is a really special photographer.

r wedding day, my bridesmaids and I were starting to run behind schedule, but she helped us keep everything moving so that we could get the shots we wanted in the best possible lighting. Taylor managed to work so discreetly that we often completely forgot we were being photographed. Our photos came back promptly, and truly showcased Taylor's versatility as a photographer-- we received a perfect mix of candid photos, formal photos, pictures of guests dancing their pants off, and even a couple of gorgeous photos of the full moon over the beach. Thank you so much, Taylor!!!

of our guests commented on how wonderful she was- and how accommodating to capturing their spur of the moment requests for impromptu family photos. We cannot wait to see the pictures from our day and know that they are going to be stunning! Thank you so much Taylor- we cannot wait to have an opportunity to work with you again in the future! Xoxo

knew all the right questions to ask my wife and me. The day of the wedding she was professional and prompt but also fun and flexible whenever plans needed to be changed. Most importantly, she did an amazing job capturing the magic of our wedding with everything from the formal photos of the wedding party to candid shots of our friends and family to even gorgeous landscape shots of the beach where we got married. In short, Taylor was a joy to work with, her photos are amazing and I would recommend her without hesitation.

d immediately began snapping pictures of the wedding party getting ready. Taylor was incredibly helpful, patient, and understanding when it came to our needs and the needs of our families. She was not afraid to get in the action on the dance floor and was above and beyond when it came to her creativity level. Taylor really incorporated the surroundings and atmosphere and took into account the season as well as the vibe of our wedding. I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job than she did. Just having her presence there was amazing, let alone the stunning photos she was able to capture. If you have the opportunity to work with Taylor, do yourself a favor. She will exceed your expectations while making you feel happy, at ease, and natural. I can't sing her praises enough--she really is that lovely and incredible!

etty awkward when it comes to pictures! Taylor is so amazing at what she does and makes you feel so comfortable and natural, we literally couldn't stop telling people how much fun and easy it was. She was perfect at capturing the moment where you look your best and most natural and beautiful. When Taylor arrived for our wedding she was ready for anything. She helped me with getting people in (and most importantly out) of the room when I needed them, talking to friends, getting the family together for corsages and boutonnieres.... and she pinned the boutonnieres on everyone because no one knew how! During the entire day she was more than willing to help out with whatever I needed, was there to talk, while ALSO taking the most unbelievable pictures. Honestly when looking at the album she must have been running back and forth to get all the amazing shots that she did. I don't know how she does it! I could keep writing this review forever but to sum up Taylor is amazing, kind, fun, awesome, and so incredibly talented in what she does. I mean just look at her pictures! Thank you Taylor!!!

ocation, post-reception, so we could take more couple photos and we didn't have to pay an additional "location fee." The one critique I have: for our group shots, I wish she would have "placed" people more, posing and positioning them. Granted, we had a crazy amount of formal group shots to get through with a LOT of people, so I understand and appreciate that she was being sensitive to time. However, I do think a little positioning and advice, telling people to turn their body a certain way or lean in, would have enhanced the photos.

otographer I could have ever imagined hiring!! She took the initiative on what photos to take, how to stand, etc and we finished photos with plenty of time to spare!!! In addition, she blended into the wedding so nicely. I felt like she was taking great candid shots without people even noticing! 5 stars all around!

d about her photos. She clearly enjoys what she does, which made it even easier to work with her. She captured beautiful moments at our wedding and her eye for light and the setting is very good. I would highly recommend working with Taylor Paige Photography!

n as she arrived and was so flexible to go with the flow of our schedule changes, photo ideas, and impromptu requests. We were impressed with her commitment, professionalism, and coordination with our other vendors, which led to a very successful day. We received some "sneak peek" photos almost immediately after the wedding, and the quality of the moments Taylor captured certainly had us anxious to see the rest. We appreciated that she listened to our ideas and also surprised us with beautifully composed memories that will always remind us of the love and happiness we felt on that day.

us feel as comfortable as possible. The pictures came out amazing as well and we are so happy with them. Thank you Taylor!!
