Taylor Lauren Barker

Taylor is amazing!! My husband and I both hate having our photos taken, and she made it so much fun, that I didn’t feel annoyed or anxious even once that day! Taylor made me feel like a model, and her energy while shooting kept it light and exciting. I am so in love with the photos we’ve seen so far, and cannot wait to see the rest :) Thank you so much for capturing our amazing wedding day, and giving us the chance to feel like rockstars for the day!

I'm not sure how to put in words how phenomenal of a wedding photographer Taylor was! I had followed Taylor on social media and LOVED her journalist style and her knack to catch those perfect candid moments that really sum up emotions so much better than a staged photograph. So when my husband and I got engaged she was the first vendor I contacted and I've been referring to her as my wedding fairy godmother ever since! She not only got to know us both intimately over a year, learning our style and then executing with complete perfection on our wedding day- but she also helped in so many other aspects and questions regarding our wedding- all above and beyond what would be expected of a wedding photographer! For example, we did not want a first look and needed to be cognizant of getting our photos done before sunset. I emailed Taylor looking for advice on the ceremony start time and she was phenomenal in explaining what I should put on the invitation and the realistic timeline that went with it. I loved her dearly before we even got to our wedding day, but on that day she still managed to blow us away! In getting ready I felt like I had just another close friend in the room. She was calm, patient organized, and I didn't have to think about a thing. She thought to capture so many unique moments I hadn't even thought to request. We had 45 mins to take shots after our ceremony and Taylor was able to get twice the shots I thought she could and yet I never felt rushed or frantic. Taylor fit in seamlessly to the party and I didn't even realize we were still taking photos at moments. Once we said goodbye for the evening close to the end of dancing, I noticed Taylor didn't yet leave, taking even more photos as people got particularly into a few songs. The few shots we have received thus far have far exceeded my husband and I's expectations and we know we will cherish both our relationship with Taylor and her phenomenal photos for years to come! If you're looking for the most positive upbeat photographer who truly goes above and beyond and becomes a part of your family you've found her!

We absolutely loved working with Taylor! We knew we'd made the right decision about a minute into our engagement session. It felt like we had been friends for years which really came in hand when I was a nervous wreck on the wedding day! Our photos are beautiful and we're so glad she encouraged us to purchase an album. We look at it at least once a week! It's so clear how much heart and soul Taylor puts into her work, and the result is not only beautiful wedding photos, but a really wonderful wedding day experience. We can't wait for her to capture our next family memories!

I contacted Taylor in a panic after our first photographer totally flaked. It was a week before my fiancé and I were set to wed at city hall and we were so nervous about finding a replacement. I stumbled upon Taylor's Instagram and immediately loved her style. She was just what we were looking for and available on short notice! Taylor met with us the day before our elopement and really spent time getting to know us. It felt like we were meeting with an old friend. The next day our ceremony and photo session went off without a hitch. We truly had the time of our lives and we really appreciate. how she captured all the love. The photos she took live all around our home, forever reminding us of our favorite day and favorite city! I highly recommend working with Taylor - you won't regret it!

Our experience with Taylor was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we met with her to discuss our big day to the minute we received our gallery, Taylor was a dream to work with. Her work is so wonderful and she is just the nicest to be around. She calmed every anxiety I had about details and timelines and gave us memories to share with our family forever. I can't thank her enough for the part she played in recording our family's start. Not only did we walk away with beautiful photos, but a friend for life!
