Welcome
TO THE WEDDING GUIDE
I'm Taylor!
The girl behind the camera! I am a dreamer and a passionate photographer.
I am a fine art wedding & motherhood photographer based in Wisconsin and serving Green Bay, Door County, Milwaukee, Madison and the surrounding areas as well as destination weddings and elopements. I work with those who are looking for a stress free photography experience so they can enjoy their printed memories in their home.
I am more than a photographer, I am a story teller and I am there to capture your true and genuine moments. When you look back at your gallery, you will relive those moments!
Philosophy
I believe when my clients hire me, they are hiring me for my ability to tell their story through my lens. Being a fine art wedding photographer means I take the time to create a story for my clients. I want you to look at these photographs and actually feel how it felt in that moment in time. I want you to FEEL your wedding. That is true timelessness.
Every couple deserves their dream wedding. I will make sure that your wedding is documented in the most beautiful way possible. Through a mix of intimate portraits and pure moments, I will help direct and tell your wedding story.

The Process
01. The Consultation
You reached out and now it's time to see if we will be a good match! after I send you my wedding guide we will schedule a phone call to go over any additional questions you may have. Once we find the package that best fits you and you are ready to book, I require a paid retainer along with a signed agreement.
02. The Engagement Session
This is where we get to meet! I will help guide you through this process. From finding a location that tells your story, to outfits (I have a client wardrobe full of dress options!). You can make your session personal by bringing props like your favorite wine or champagne. I am a dog lover, so bring your pup if you'd like!
03. Wedding Day
It's the big day! I like to come at the time you are getting ready. These are the moments before you say your vows and enter a new stage in your life. The giddiness and anticipation of getting married is so evident during this time. Moments big or small, I'm here to capture them all!
04. Gallery
Within a week after your wedding day, I will send you a sneak peak gallery! I strive to send your full gallery within 4 weeks, but depending on the season it can take longer. Once you receive your full wedding gallery, you can share the gallery with friends and family, download your images, and order prints!
05. Print & Product Selection
During this process you will select the images and artwork to display in your home. We'll choose your images for your fine art album. I use museum grade albums and prints to preserve your memories.
Wedding Day Tips
Gather all your details before the day starts so I can photograph them quickly! This makes the getting-ready portion of the day go by much more smoothly, and it allows me to spend more time focusing on the spontaneous moments when everyone is together.
Here is a list to jog some ideas: ring, jewelry, hair pieces, flowers, shoes, socks, cuff links, socks, letters, pictures, gifts, cultural items, invitations, programs, printed pieces, and any unique items you’ve put thought into!
LITTLE DETAILS COUNT
Some of our couples’ favorite images from their wedding day end up being the detail shots that are taken throughout the day. details help tie everything together and tell the story of behind-the-scenes moments.
Think about getting a wooden hanger for your dress. They photography well and are great keepsakes for years to come.
WILL YOU TRAVEL FOR OUR WEDDING?
Yes, absolutely! A travel cost will be provided depending on the location of the wedding.
ARE YOU INSURED?
Yes. Insurance is a must because accidents can happen! I make sure that I have equipment and liability insurance, so that way I can quickly replace any equipment before my next shoot! I have insurance through the Hartford Insurance Agency, and a copy can be provided for your venue.
DO YOU WORK WITH A SECOND SHOOTER?
Many of my best work has come from working solo. I will bring in a second shooter depending on the details of your wedding.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I use all professional equipment and mirrorless cameras. I always carry the Sony A7R lll, 50 mm lens, 85 mm lens, & the 35 mm lens, among other items. All of my cameras and lenses have a backup in the rare event that anything should happen to one of our pieces. I also shoot on two cards for extra backup!
