Vee is the best of the best! Her work speaks for itself- it is quality, breathtaking and captures moments and people authentically. To work with her is incredible...and super fun!...
Vee has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and confident. She is personable, professional, knowledgeable, and the turn-around for sneak peeks and full galleries is so impressive and appreciated!
Our engagement and wedding photos will always be special to us, and we are forever grateful that we get to reminisce thanks to Vee's ability to capture these beautiful moments in our lives. Thank you for everything, Vee!
Oh Vee. There aren’t words that adequately describe how appreciative I am of you. Having you photograph our wedding was a dream come true. I have looked at and shared our wedding s...
neak peaks a million times already. I’m obsessed. You captured us and our fiery moody personalities in the best way.
Travis hates getting his picture taken-but with you he was confident and enjoying himself. You put him at ease and with him you shared a good laugh (or 5) at my inability to listen to posing instructions. Lol.
Thanks again, Vee!
Vee is incredible! We hired her for our engagement photo session as well as our wedding. From the moment I reached out to get more information from her, she was extremely friendly,...
prompt, and informative. She really made me feel comfortable making the decision to hire her because she was so professional. And thank goodness we did! You get SO much when you work with Vee! She gives you a HUGE location guide full of so many beautiful locations to choose from for your couples shoot, and she even gives you a style guide to help you decide what to wear as well. She showed up to our engagement session on time, and was so patient and sweet with our dog who was not exactly cooperating in the beginning. She made us feel so comfortable, and the whole shoot felt easy with her. We had never worked with a professional photographer for anything like this before so we weren't sure what to expect, but she gave us funny little scenes to "act" out in order to get the mood and movement she envisioned for the shot. That was so helpful and made for some great photos. We got our sneak peeks back extremely quickly and WOW. They are magical. I feel like a movie star/model. The way she captured the sunset between us was just amazing. Would 100/10 recommend hiring Vee Taylor for ALL of your photography needs!
Hiring Vee was the best decision we made for our whole wedding planning process! We hired Vee right after our engagement photos with her for our wedding. Even when our wedding was ...
postponed due to covid, she was extremely easy to work with through the whole process. She makes you feel like your not even being photographed. From getting romantic couple pictures to group photos, she made it feel stress free and truly enjoyable. Vee makes the experience feel like on a whole different level. When we got our preview the next day, she blew us away and made us speechless with how beautiful barely a quarter of the photos came out! She will always be our go to photographer.
I highly recommend using Victoria. We contacted her about a month before our rescheduled vow exchange and we feel so lucky she was available. She was knowledgable, helpful and laid...
back but also got people in their place when needed. We love the photos and she was a great part of our big day!
We reached out to Victoria about a month before our Vow Exchange. She was super quick to respond and we scheduled a phone call to get to know her. Within in minutes we felt a conne...
ction to her and knew she was the photographer we wanted to capture our big day! We instantly clicked and had a few laughs; she was just as funny in person!
Victoria was so fun to work with and immediately made us feel comfortable. She has a creative eye that results in amazing, beautiful photos. She took the lead when necessary but also let things happen organically and the photos reflect that. She followed all precautions and asked before enter our personal space which was reassuring during these COVID times.
She sent us our sneak peek less than 24 hours later and we absolutely love every photo. We cannot recommend Victoria enough!!
Victoria is absolutely amazing. Her photo manner is professional and encouraging. She corrects everything - stray hair out of place, weird hand placement etc to ensure all the phot...
os she gets are gorgeous! She over delivers every single time. She’s always prompt and organized, communicates proactively and takes care of her subjects. I have had the pleasure of her being a photographer for me twice now and I am literally obsessed with the pictures - simply cannot stop looking at them!
I am beyond in LOVE with the photos!! Victoria is one of a kind and for someone like me who lacks confidence in every part of my body and my fiancé who is super camera shy ..SHE MA...
DE US LOOK LIKE MODELS! On the drive home from our shoot we could stop saying how amazing the shoot went and how comfortable and confident she made us feel! It was seriously the best day! Then when the photos were ready! let me tell you ..ABSOULTELY GORGEOUS! So romantic, elegant, and whimsical. Everything I hoped for! I will be hiring her for my wedding, future maternity shoots, and family shoots in the future!
Taylor is amazing!!
She was so awesome to work with, efficient, and knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We got all the shots we wanted and more!! My (n...
ow husband!) and I like to pretend we're *serious* and Taylor got some pretty epic glamour shots of us! They are literally everything I wanted and more.
*Bonus* Taylor gave us our preview (of 60 photos) within 12 HOURS of leaving the venue. We got our full set in less than a month and they captured our day perfectly.
If you want to look and feel amazing on your big day- and have gorgeous photos to show off all over social, look no further!
Highly recommend using Victoria!!! I used her for my wedding and am so happy I did! She was such a pleasure to work with and really knows what she’s doing. Really liked that she gu...
ides you through all the poses and makes it fun. My whole wedding party loved working with her. She captured my wedding day so well and even gave us sneak peak photos the morning after our wedding. Truly amazing photos!
Victoria is an absolutely amazing photographer! I was following her work for a few years before we were engaged, and I knew that if there was one thing I had to have at our wedding...
someday it was her photography talent. Victoria is an absolute pro at her craft from communication before your session, to planning outfits (and having a client closet to borrow from), to posing you and getting incredible shots. I have always been blown away with our photographs and Victoria always over-delivers in terms of sending us sneak peaks and editing our wedding gallery in what seems like record time. Not only do I love her, but my now husband and everyone who sees our photos tells us how amazing Victoria was. We've worked with Victoria for our engagement and wedding sessions, with boudoir already booked - her eye, her talent for editing, and the energy Victoria brings with her is worth absolutely every investment for these memories that will last a lifetime. THANK YOU VEE, we love ya!
Victoria was also super accommodating when our plans had to change for Covid-19 , she assured us she would be there with us no matter what our day looked like and we are so grateful!
I found Victoria through Instagram and instantly fell in love with her work. We hired her for both our engagement and wedding photos, and it was the best decision! My fiancé and I ...
had never had our photos professionally taken, so we had no idea what to expect. She made us feel so comfortable, directed/helped every step of the way, and our photos turned out oh so beautiful! All of our friends and family have commented on how amazing they look, and some have even said that they should be in a wedding magazine! We are so thankful that
1. We were able to have a wedding this year. 2. Victoria was so accommodating with our last minute venue change, and gave us timeless photos to look back on and remember just how beautiful our special day was! 😊❤️
Exceptional, Professional, Wonderful Photos! Victoria was so wonderful to work with during these difficult times of having to navigate through planning a wedding during a pandemic....
She was flexible, understanding, and responsive to any changes or adjustments. Her work is exceptional! They're absolutely beautiful and we are so lucky to have found her to shoot our engagement photos and wedding ceremony. We WILL hire her again for family photos in the future!
Omg! Victoria was our wedding photographer and she was absolutely amazing!!! She ended up getting there early, to get some extra details shots that I wanted, which I really appreci...
ated. She got all the posed shots that we wanted (romantics, bridal party, and family) and then tons of candid shots of the cocktail party and reception. We never felt bothered by her - she was just there witnessing and capturing the fun and we barely noticed the cameras. From the intimate rustic barn ceremony to the down & dirty dance party to the bubble exit, she truly captured the love and wildness of our special day. The photos turned out even more beautiful than we imagined. We are so grateful that we chose Victoria as our photographer, and 100% recommend her work!! ❤️
You will not regret hiring Victoria. I am so grateful we hired her! She is such a sweet, genuine person and also the BEST photographer. What I love about her is that she makes you ...
feel comfortable in front of the camera because she tells you exactly what to do to get that perfect shot. She doesn’t just say “look at her like you love her” she’ll say something more like “Look at her like she’s a slice of pizza” so you know exactly what face to make. She obviously takes posed photos but the way she does it, it makes you feel like they’re not forced or posed. She makes it so easy. I love how confident she is behind the camera too! Her confidence will make you feel confident. She is so good at what she does and it’s awesome watching her work her magic. The pictures she gives are so beautiful and something we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend hiring her. If I ever need to hire a photographer again I know, without a doubt, she’s the one!
Not only is Victoria an amazing photographer, but she has the most sweetest personality. She made us feel so comfortable. My fiancee and I had never done anything like this before ...
but she made us feel so comfortable and confident. You won’t regret getting her as your photographer. Can’t wait to book her again!
Vee is the best photographer ever!! We are over the moon over our wedding pics on the beach! Every picture was stunning!

imum lighting giving the pictures a dramatic effect. We will be using her again for future photography needs.
Highly recommend!!!!
Victoria and her ladies were amazing! She went above and beyond to make our wedding photos incredible! She’s patient, easy-going, and beyond talented! Would highly recommend her!!!...
You will not be disappointed in your photos!
Victoria has photographed my family three times now and every time I’m blown away by how phenomenal the pictures turn out! She is personable, creative, friendly, and makes you feel...
comfortable in front of the camera, even if your husband hates getting his picture taken! Her passion for her craft shows through each and every photograph she takes. We just took our maternity pictures with her last week and I am already looking forward to the next time we can shoot with her.
She is honestly the best photographer I have ever worked with. She did my engagement photos and my wedding in July. So many people have complimented my photos! She not only takes t...
he best photos but she takes away all your nerves from the second you meet her. The photoshoots end up being so fun and she is great at directing you to the perfect position. I could recommend her more!
Absolutely LOVED working with Victoria! She is hilarious, witty and definitely knows what she is doing. For someone who is awkward when it comes to taking pictures, she made me fee...
l completely comfortable and was wonderful at posing me. We laughed our entire session. She's totally relatable and highly personable. She really gets to know you throughout your session and works around and for you. And while she does what makes you feel comfortable, she isn't afraid to push you outside your bubble to make beautiful art. Not only is she wonderful at posing and snapping but her photography comes out 😍😍😍 HIGHLY recommended.
Victoria has been nothing but amazing since the first time we spoke on the phone. When I found samples of her work I instantly fell in love and knew she would be a perfect fit for ...
my wedding vision and I am so happy we went with her. I emailed her and she called me the same day and I purchased her wedding package. The package included an engagement shoot and she asked me what my vision for that was and I told her I wanted something “foresty”, a few moments later she was emailing me various locations that she thought would fit my vision. Once we met Victoria for the engagement session we I instantly clicked and it’s not hard to with her amazing personality. Victoria will make you feel comfortable and makes posing easy with her amazing sound effects and whispers of encouragement. From start to finish Victoria puts 110% of herself into your session and makes you a priority. Choosing Victoria as your photographer will be one of the easiest choices you make during the wedding planning process and her work simply speaks for itself.
What an amazing talent! Victoria is a true artist! She is passionate about her clients and her art! She showed up on time and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the ca...
mera. I felt akward with some of the poses but she would take the time to show me a picture or two and reassure me I looked like a complete BABE!
She is on top of editing and gave me a preview within days! Which literally has never happened before!!! She gives you a preview to keep you wanting to see more. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She has endless ideas and great energy!
She does book up quick so I would say book early to make sure you get the BEST!
Not only is it incredibly difficult to feel beautiful when you are 8 and a half months pregnant, but it is also really hard to find a photographer who makes you feel comfortable in...
front of the lense. Not only do you get a photographer, but you gain an amazing friend too! Victoria made the entire process easy, painless, and so much fun! She also was willing to come to me to do the pictures which I think is amazing most people will only travel a certain number of miles. She is so easy going and will make you laugh almost the entire time! She also isn’t afraid to get dirty she will lay in the sand or the dirt to get the perfect shot for you and your family! 1000% would use Victoria for my wedding, family pictures, boudoir, maternity, and anything else you can think of. She is simply the best!
Vee Taylor Photo easily gets 5 stars!!! She was punctual, organized, and caught every moment of my wedding. She is so much fun to be around with, she makes those hectic moments see...

Victoria is the photographer you need to have for your wedding! She it not only incredibly talented, but her dedication to her craft is second to none. She is constantly learning a...
nd investing in her business and her gear in order to give you the most amazing photos of your special day. She will make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, even while capturing the most raw, beautiful moments of your life. She is fun to work with both before, during and after your event and her final galleries are just total works of art. Hire her... you will not be disappointed!!
Victoria is a true artist and will deliver the best pictures you can imagine. She was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. She stood in the rain and climbed through winery vines ...
in the mud. She calls you out if you are doing something awkward and she will coach you into poses that are flattering. My husband has the most complicated family tree ever, and Victoria was calm and collected in the pure chaos that took place during our family pictures. By far choosing Victoria to do our wedding pictures was the best decision we made for our wedding!
Absolutely loved everything about getting our perfect day captured by Victoria! My husband and I never felt so comfortable behind a camera. You walk away from the session knowing y...
ou get your money’s worth. With how many sessions Victoria does it’s amazing how fast she gets the pictures back to you. I would recommend her over & over again. She is amazing.
Victoria is the sweetest! She’s patient, kind and so professional. Her work speaks for itself but when we received our photos back we felt so blessed. What was just supposed to a ...
simple mini-maternity photo shoot; she ended up turning into a mini family photo opportunity! My husband and kids loved the pictures and I cherish the memories she helped us create. The photos are beautiful and Victoria has such a gentle heart. I’ve seen her more intimate work of couples on the beach and wedding shoots and you can really feel the passion and joy in her clients. I’d strongly recommend her for any occasion and hope to be able to work with her more in the near future!
Victoria was amazing! The pictures of our wedding turned out gorgeous, and she was very sweet, professional, and easy to work out. I will recommend her 10/10 times
Victoria is the best photographer around. She makes everyone excited about their big day. She is very honest and will tell you exactly how you should feel on your big day. She make...
s sure there the photos are utter perfection. She is obsessed with her craft and it really shows!
