Booking Tay was truly one of our best decisions. From the very beginning, Tay was so helpful, informative and easy to communicate with. Our engagement session was an absolute blast...
and we knew we chose the right photographer. Tay knows exactly how to coach and guide in a way that feels natural and fun, never awkward. We spent the entire time laughing and genuinely enjoying ourselves, and the photos turned out wonderfully—she captured so much beauty in just a few hours.
On the wedding day, Tay exceeded every expectation and even went beyond her responsibilities, simply because that’s the kind of person she is. She delivered stunning photos (and I’ve only seen the sneak peeks), kept our group organized with kindness and confidence, and helped the day flow smoothly from start to finish. At one point she even helped finesse my bouquet, which was a bit too large and covering half my dress—such a small detail, but it made a huge difference. She’s such a professional.
What meant the most, though, was her compassion. Without going into detail, Tay was so understanding and kind working with a specific member of our group—she left a lasting impact.
We can’t thank Tay enough—not only for being an exceptional photographer, but for being an exceptional human. Highly, highly recommend.
Taylor is the absolute BEST and so easy to work with. Neither my fiancé or i had taken professional photos before. She made us feel so comfortable and showed us previews between sh...
ots - this made us feel so confident and the shots just kept getting better from there! We are incredibly pleased with how engagement photos came out, so beautiful - looks very editorial, like they should be in a magazine!
Tay is the most incredible wedding photographer! She was so sweet to work with and captured so many fun additional moments throughout the day outside of your standard shot list. We...
would recommend her to anyone!
100% recommend Tay!! She shot our engagement photos less than a week ago and we already have 150+ photos back. She somehow managed to turn these BEAUTIFUL photos around in less tha...
n a week. A couple reviews from friends we sent the photos to were "these are honestly the most beautiful engagement photos I've ever seen" and "10/10 photographer, wow". My fiance said "I can't wait for our wedding, I know she is going to get amazing shots".
Putting the amazing photos aside, she was professional, fun, friendly, and great to hangout with. We appreciated her so much as she worked through our location ideas with us.
As someone who is my harshest critic, I was skeptical anyone could get good photos of me. Tay made me feel comfortable and confident, and that only multiplied after seeing her photos she took.
BOOK TAY!
Tay is INCREDIBLE! I can't say enough good things about her! She is so good at what she does - she is professional, calm, easy to work with, down to earth, extremely talented, and ...
so much fun to be with! We hired her to capture our wedding and engagement photos, which was easily the best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process! We are in love with all of our photos! She captures sweet, candid, intimate moments so perfectly, as well as semi-candid and posed photos! She gives great direction, is very prepared, and listens to what her clients' visions and wishes are. She is quick to respond, communicates well, and is so enjoyable to chat with! Her editing style is stunning - the photos are always timeless and natural, yet enhanced in a modern and tasteful way. She also helped make our wedding day seamless and cohesive! She is organized and stays on schedule effortlessly! Falling behind schedule was never a concern for us on our wedding day because she is so on top of things, comes prepared, and is so good at what she does! I highly recommend Tay for any photography needs! She was our dream wedding photographer!
How do I give Tay more than 5 stars?! It's hard to express in words how amazing Taylor is as a person & as a photographer. She is absolutely hands-down the best photographer I have...
ever dealt with! She works so well with people and was especially kind when working with our large group family photos! She knows just the right angles and just the right positioning in her photography as well as perfect timing of the right light needed in photos. It was nothing but a positive experience with Tay and I highly recommend you to use her for your photos as well! I am so beyond grateful for her work and will cherish these stunning photos forever.
We loved our time with Taylor! She was so flexible with us when some things had to change last minute. We told her we want our pictures to capture how fun our relationship is, and ...
she did just that. You can feel how much we love each other in our engagement pictures and the tones are unreal as well. She is the best!
If you are wondering if you should hire Tay, the answer is and always will be YES!
Tay was so communicative in the process from start to finish, making everything appear seamless!...
She was always responsive to any of my questions or wedding photo worries- truly making us feel heard and instilled trust in her! She is one of the most authentic and kind humans we know and it was a blessing to have her! The photos were amazing, she highlighted the fun we had and understood our vision for some of our more memorable photo locations! Words cannot express how much this meant to us!
I cannot recommend Tay enough. From the start until the end, she was very on top of things (and I’m type A so I needed to be able to trust my vendors to get things done and handle ...
things) and worked flawlessly with our other vendors (day of coordinator, videographer, etc). She is professional, respectful, creates AMAZING photos and honestly she made us feel so comfortable while shooting. She gives excellent pointers for posing and had great ideas for candids, and has an incredible eye for details. She’s great at communication and we even got our photos a little earlier than expected! We did both our engagement photos and wedding with her and they were INCREDIBLE! Our friends and family rave about them and her, with good reason!! Her style is very clean, fresh and full of love. She captured the best parts of her our relationship and our big day. I cannot express enough love and praise for Tay!!
Asking to Tay to be our photographer was hands down the best decision I could have made! She was so easy to work with and our engagement pictures turned out amazing! I can’t wait t...
o work with her on our wedding day, she is the sweetest human ever!
We had an amazing experience with Taylor! She was so helpful and went above and beyond. We absolutely love our photos:)
Tay was an amazing engagement photographer for my fiance and I. She made it so easy and fun to get comfortable in front of the camera. Our pictures turned out so beautiful and real...
ly captured our true and authentic personalities. We really appreciate the extra time Tay took to get to know us, teach us, and shoot our pictures to get the results we wanted.
Hiring Tay to photograph our engagement session (and future wedding day) has been the easiest and best decision we've made in all of our wedding planning. I was really nervous abou...
t how comfortable my partner and I would be in front of the camera, but we had THE best time! I don't think we've ever smiled so big before. The entire day felt like a fun day with a close friend, and we cannot wait to do it again next year!
On top of everything, Tay flew to us in New Orleans for our engagement session. She was incredibly communicative and accommodating throughout the entire planning process, even when we had some bad weather and needed to reschedule. If you're thinking of doing a destination engagement or wedding, Tay makes the process so incredibly seamless and stress free.
Would absolutely recommend Tay to anyone and everyone in need of a photographer! She's amazing!!
Tay is the simply the best. Better than ALL the rest! Tay traveled down to Cancun for my destination wedding and she is incredible. She truly did her research. A few days befor...
e the wedding she went around to different areas of our wedding site to see where we could take pictures and to see exactly how the sun would hit those spots. Since the sunset photos would be blocked by a tall building, she volunteered to wake up with us the day before our wedding for sunrise photos. What photographer does that!? 7 AM, Friday before the wedding ready to go! She was a blast to work with as all of our friends adored her. Not to mention I have had so many people reach out to me and say, "your wedding photos belong in Vogue" or "you have the best photos I've ever seen". I also recommend booking her with engagement photos to allow yourself to get accustom to posing with your significant other the correct way. Not to mention it was a blast shooting with her. Tay is the BEST.
Tay was absolutely wonderful to work with. Her photos are timeless treasures and she has an innate ability to capture our personalities effortlessly. On our wedding day, Tay took ...
charge of corralling our wedding party and family together to make sure we stayed on track but allowed us to fully be present and enjoy the day! Tay was excellent at directing poses and made everything feel natural. She honestly felt like an old friend and was truly a joy to have around on our big day. We have gotten sooo many compliments on Tay and our photos. 1000% recommend!
Hiring Taylor as our photographer was hands down the easiest and best decision we could have made for our wedding. Taylor is professional, fun, and incredibly talented. We are abso...
lutely in love with the photos she took of our wedding day. She has a creative eye that is unmatched and is very unique. Taylor took great care of us on the day of our wedding as well reminding us to take breaks and take it all in. She was really took the time to make us feel special. We are so grateful that we have her beautiful pictures to look back on for years to come. I cannot recommend Taylor enough!
Tay was incredible! You will have no regrets about hiring her for your big day. She was with us for our engagement photos and for our wedding and we were so thrilled with how all...
of our photos turned out. For our engagement photos, we were quite nervous and worried we were going to look super awkward in our photos and Tay made us feel so comfortable and made the process so much fun which showed in our photos. When it came to our wedding it was the same story. In addition to making us feel so comfortable Tay is very professional, a great communicator which was super important to me, and so on top of everything! We had a huge wedding party and a big family and she kept the day moving smoothly and had no problem reigning in our crazy group. If you are on the fence about which photographer to hire for your big day look no further!
Tay was with us from engagement photos to 2 cancelled weddings abroad to finally getting married in Utah. She was so supportive and accommodating along the way and we could not rec...
ommend her more! Her work is stunning and she was incredibly helpful on the day of the wedding to keep things moving along and on a timeline. She is the best!
My husband and I loved working with Tay!! From engagement photos to postponing our wedding, to our actual wedding day - Tay was a dream to work with! She made taking photos feel so...
fun and natural! Her work is absolutely stunning and she is such a kind and fun person to work with. Cannot recommend Tay highly enough! Thank you for capturing our special day :)
Tay Ericson is amazing! We did our engagement photos with her --she does incredible work and we feel very fortunate to have her shoot our wedding. Her down-to-earth, easy-going ...
approach makes standing in front of the camera fun and lighthearted, and she is able to capture the joy and best parts of every moment. She is professional, punctual, and considerate of what we are looking for in our photos. Would recommend her highly!
Tay was everything we were looking for in a photographer - and we looked at hundreds of photographers online!
When picking the person that was going to share all the special mome...
nts of our wedding day with us we wanted someone that was calm, directing and easy to be around. She made us feel so comfortable, always came prepared, stuck to our timeline without being pushy at all and rolled with the punches... seriously, she was stung by a bee and brushed it off like no big deal - wonder woman! She wasn't invasive or pushy and was selective about when she offered input - like suggesting that I pin in my veil, when I was convinced it would stay during pictures (...it didn't!), I also hesitated to take more photos at the end of cocktail hour (because I didn't want to leave our guests) but am SO glad she encouraged us and said "are you really sure about that?..." because they are by far some of my favorite pictures of the day. Any advice she gave was done respectfully and was good advice!
Needless to say, the photos turned out SO stunning - they are perfect and capture us exactly as we are in the best ways. Her style is so timeless but still has a modern edge and she gave us a mix of light/airy photos and some more moody ones too. The quality of her photos and her service at the pricing she offers fit exactly what we needed. I think it's hard to find someone as good as her for the price. I'm so happy we picked Tay - you should too! Stop scrolling endlessly through photographers and reach out to her! :)
You will have ZERO regrets hiring Tay as your photographer! She recently did our engagement pictures, and after seeing them I'm even more excited and anxious to see the wedding day...
photos!! With my background being in videography and overseeing the creative department for a marketing agency, I knew what I wanted in a photographer from relationship to end product, and let me tell you Tay is the entire package! She's extremely professional and personable, isn't messing around when it comes to the equipment she uses, and is extremely responsive both with answering questions and delivering teaser photos as well as the end gallery. She was so incredibly sweet and surprised me with teaser photos early on my birthday!! Her attention to detail and care for her craft really shows between how she conducts her shoots, her interactions with her clients, the variety in shots we were given, and the fact she was so thoughtful to see it was my birthday and send us photos early was so special :) Can't speak highly enough about working with Tay for any of your photo needs
My husband and I had a great experience working with Taylor. She did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding photography. Our engagement shoot was a destination engagement shoo...
t in Malibu. I really wanted to have large rocks and cliffs in the background of our engagement photos and Taylor was able to accommodate us by traveling to make that happen. She made us both feel very comfortable and relaxed during our shoot. Since we are not models by any means, Taylor gave us all the direction we needed. We loved the engagement photos so much we couldn’t wait to work with her again at our wedding. Our wedding was postponed due to covid, and Tay was flexible when working with us to reschedule our date. The day of our wedding was magical and Tay captured every moment of that beautifully. She was a pleasure to work with again, and her second shooter was just as lovely. When we got our wedding photos back we were blown away. The editing was just perfect. My husband and I could not be happier. We will look back on these photos for years to come and continue to be filled with gratitude. Thank you Taylor! You are beautiful inside and out. Xoxo Karly & Bob
Tay is absolutely phenomenal! We had rescheduled our wedding due to Covid and Tay was extremely responsive (and actually proactively reached out to us before we did to her many ti...
mes) and worked with us each step of the way. My husband and I do not find ourselves to be photogenic, but Tay made us feel comfortable, and we were so happy with how the pictures turned out. We both talk about how Tay is the one vendor we would hands down choose again and again if we ever were to plan a wedding again.
Tay is the best!! As soon as I saw her photos online, we knew she had to be our photographer, her editing style is just so amazing. Five minutes into our engagement shoot, and we w...
ere totally comfortable (which was a feat for my fiancé!) Tay has been so easy to work with and helpful with all things wedding planning during Covid times, and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!
I would give Tay Ericson more than 5 stars if I could. Tay was the photographer for my daughter’s wedding and she was phenomenal! She was wonderful to work with that day, She knew ...
what pictures to take, that when we got the pictures it was like a storybook wedding. She took such a variety of photos, some posed and some natural ones also. There were pictures showing every aspect from getting ready for the ceremony all the way through the end of the reception. I can’t think of any special moment that she missed. If you want a storybook of memories from your wedding, I would highly recommend Tay. You won’t be let down...
10 stars! I am so glad that I found Tay to be our wedding photographer. Saying she's incredibly talented is a huge understatement. She captured our wedding exactly as I had hoped i...
n such a effortless and authentic way. Tay is also the sweetest human and the best person to spend your wedding day with. She was so accommodating and professional to work with, and also super helpful in coordinating our wedding day. Our family and bridal party loved how Tay directed the group photos to make it go smoothly and quickly. She relieved us of so much stress on our wedding day, and made us feel so special. She made our wedding day perfect, and I cannot recommend Tay enough.

Tay was great! She made us feel so comfortable the entire time. I knew before I even saw the pictures that I would be happy with them just because of how well our engagement sessio...
n went. When I saw them, I couldn't stop looking and was so excited to share them with family and friends. Tay was so easy to communicate with, she responded quickly, and we got our pictures back within a month. We are even more excited for our wedding now! I would recommend Tay to anyone.
I couldn’t be happier with our photos. Let me say it again for those in the back... OUR PHOTOS ARE AMAZING! They’re flirty, candid, and so romantic. I don’t know how, but Tay was ...
able to capture our personalities and style impeccably. She was incredibly easy to work with, communicate with, and so fun to shoot with. My fiancée and I didn’t think we’d be super comfortable in front of the camera, but Taylor made us feel right at home and offered guidance that really made the photos feel like us. I would recommend her 12 times out of 10, no question.

ils (being a covid bride- having vendors that were responsive was huge when trying to replan a wedding), she even helped me plan my timeline for my day and not to mention she is just the sweetest person you'll ever meet! My husband and I also loved the way she edits her photo's; theres something very classic about her editing style that wont ever go out of style!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further because Tay is truly the best! From the moment we first facetimed with her for our first meeting to engagement pictur...
es and navigating through wedding postponement and multiple change of plans due to covid-19, Tay has been incredibly supportive, thoughtful, and intentional through all of it. She has such an eye to capturing details and special moments in a photograph.
We cannot recommend her enough!!

The first time I saw Tay’s photos, I knew she would capture our love so well! Her photos are so artistic, and she captures emotion so clearly. We’ve only had our engagement photos ...
so far (which were incredible!), so I can’t wait for our wedding this summer. She is so nice and has made the whole wedding planning process easy. Highly recommended!!
Taylor was fantastic, and I can not recommend her highly enough. Her photos are undeniably excellent, and she did an excellent job of capturing the emotion and ambience of our wedd...
ing day. My wife and I are both rather shy people, and Taylor did such a great job helping us get out of our shell and have fun during our engagement shoot. On the wedding day, she was a very calming presence and helped us navigate all the stress and excitement of the wedding...all while still taking amazing photos!
The moment I came across Taylors gallery, I knew that I wanted her to capture our wedding day and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. Taylor has an incredible way of c...
apturing moments and in the most beautiful and authentic way. She finds details you, as the bride, might never even get to see on the actual day, or really appreciate and absorb even if you do. She truly coaxes the magic out of every part of the event and captures it so handy you hardly even realize what’s happening.
Along with being a truly remarkable photographer, Taylor is just an overall amazing human-being that truly cares about her clients. Even though you are one of many weddings that she may be working to prepare for, you truly feel like you are the only one with how she puts her all into making your day perfect. She was not only our photographer, but a calming presence that helped me relax when I felt stressed, fixed my hair completely when I wanted to change it, and elegantly directed and supported the bridal party.
Taylor has been such a huge part of our entire wedding process and it would not have been nearly as perfect without her. We love Taylor and would use her over and over again!
If you are considering Tay to be your photographer, stop looking and HIRE HER! We met Tay for coffee and knew she would be the perfect fit for us, based on her personality and what...
we wanted for our wedding day and the photos; it was like meeting an old friend. She did our engagement photos and we had so much fun with her! She was willing to drive to our hometown to take photos in a place that meant a lot to us. And they turned out so great! Prior to our wedding day, she was very communicative, planned everything well in advance, and made sure we were on the same page for our wedding. Our wedding was in Lutsen so we really appreciated her and her second shooter (woo Miranda!) driving all the way up there. On the day of our wedding, not only was she great with our family and friends and kept everything on schedule and smooth, but she helped with SO many things that blew us away! She did all the groomsman boutonnieres and she re-curled my hair (!!!) before we went out to take sunset photos, among so many other awesome things! She went above and beyond to make sure our day was awesome. We had many people comment that they were impressed with her for doing so much. She did a fantastic job making us feel comfortable and like ourselves in front of the camera, and you can tell in our photos. We absolutely adore our photos!!! We were so excited when we got them and loved showing all our friends and family. She captured our love perfectly, captured our wedding day perfectly, and we can't help but smile and re-live the day when we look at them. They are photos we will cherish forever. We cannot thank Tay enough for making our wedding day so great and for the photos we absolutely love. Please hire Tay to photograph you and take care of your on your wedding day!
We honestly had THE BEST time doing our engagement shoot with Tay! She was so easy to work with and extremely accommodating. We didn’t know what to expect because we’ve never had p...
rofessional photos taken of us, but she made us feel super comfortable. Plus we got the final photos and they’re all amazing! Thank you Tay!
It’s hard to put into words how extremely grateful I am that Tay was our wedding photographer. She is genuine, kind, helpful, and truly has a gift for capturing moments. She knows ...
what she’s doing and made me (the bride) feel at ease all day. If you’re planning your own wedding (like I did), you NEED her.
When we got our wedding photos back I was in tears at how beautiful they were! Her edits are natural, light, and just all around stunning. Again, she truly has a GIFT.
I would recommend her over and over and over! She is so worth it.
Tay was so wonderful to work with, very professional and so sweet. Even from the very beginning when we first met she was flexible about what we were wanting and needing for our we...
dding day and made it happen for us. The photos turned out beautiful and we will cherish the memories she captured for us.
With love,
Precious + Brett
Tay is not only an amazing photographer, but a phenomenal human being! She truly captured our love in the most authentic way and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera....
Her work perfectly reflects her genuine and caring nature.
Hiring Taylor was best decision I could have made for my wedding. (Well, besides like marrying my soulmate or whatever.) Taylor was literally an angel. She was able to work within ...
our budget and even flew out to LA for our engagement session. She was such a calming presence in all the chaos and helped me wrangle so many clueless family members. Due to my poor planning, genuine cultural ignorance, and lack of communication due to confusion and stress, Taylor had to learn everything about a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony day-off from a relative of mine and fully delivered my family’s vision. There was a minor mishap with our files after the wedding but Taylor was able to fix it and kept us in the loop the whole time. I feel so lucky to have found Taylor and were able to have worked with her when we did. Taylor’s work truly speaks for itself and I have no doubt her availability will fill up very, very soon. Seriously highly, highly recommend!
Tay is the absolute best! We had so much fun during the shoot because she made us feel so comfortable. We could not be happier with our photos. They are simply beautiful and each o...
