Documenting the emotion and joy of your once-in-a-lifetime moments
Serving couples and families across Rochester, Buffalo, and the Finger Lakes
Why these moments are worth documenting
I'm Taylor, a Rochester NY wedding photographer who's had the honor of capturing over 200 weddings.
Your wedding day is a reflection of your journey and a celebration of your commitment to life together. It should be captured with intention, and I'm here to make that happen, from timeline creation to being a resource and supporter throughout our entire time together.
To be fully encouraging and honest, and because I care about you as if we've been friends for years, I'll tell you if something doesn't match the vision of your wedding.
We'll work together throughout the planning process so that on your wedding day, you can enjoy each moment knowing you're taken care of. I got you.
It's about the big milestones and the in-between, everyday ones, too.
When you first inquire with me
I'm ready to celebrate your engagement from the rooftops.
When we get to planning your engagement session
I'm here to make sure you don't have to worry about how you look, feeling awkward, or being unsure what to do. I got you.
When you book me
I'm here for you every step of the way, being a resource and a friend.
When we get close to your wedding day
We'll meet to make sure your timeline is curated to exactly how you want to spend each moment of your day with the people you love most.
After your wedding
I look through every image to make sure your wedding gallery tells the story of your day beautifully.
When we get to your wedding day
I'm here to take care of you and give you the space you need, capturing the moments as they unfold, with timeless wedding photos that feel just as real years from now as they did that day.
And then what? I am here to celebrate your milestones continuously.
What to expect,
from inquiry to "I do"

My husband and I got married under very difficult circumstances, and we were not able to get the bridal portraits we had hoped for. My husband and I met Taylor and I can’t even describe what a blessing he was to us. Taylor took our sensitive situation and made it such a positive. Taylor took our bridal portraits a year later on the beach and made us both feel so comfortable, so at ease, and we were honestly laughing the entire time. Taylor is such a joy to be around and his laughter is infectious. Our physical time with Taylor will always be something we cherish. Taylor is truly a rare one to find. He’s kind, he cares about the little things, and he’s truly such an advocate for his couples. Don’t walk, RUNNNN into his inbox and just BOOK!!! He’s literally the best.

Taylor constantly goes above and beyond! We have never considered another photographer besides him. He is extremely personable, always on time, explains in detail where & how to stand for shots, and makes everything thing feel so natural. He represents high morals, good business ethics, and deeply cares about his clients. We have contracted Taylor to be our photographer for our wedding and were BLOWN away by the results! He is family at this point! You absolutely cannot go wrong with having Taylor capture the most memorable times in your life! He does an incredible job at making your favorite day come back to life through photos.

Hiring Taylor was the best decision we could have made! He fit right in with the calm, joyful energy we wanted on our wedding day and was professional, organized and encouraging leading up to, during, and after our day. We had to pivot our family photo plan and he handled it perfectly, protecting us from making decisions during our cocktail hour. On top of his wonderful presence is the artistry of the photos. Taylor made us feel totally like ourselves and I often forgot we were being photographed, in the best way possible. I was amazed by his efficiency too! We didn’t want to spend hours taking photos and didn’t have to, while still getting the wedding pictures of our dreams.

Taylor is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but also a genuinely kind and compassionate person. From the start, he went above and beyond to make us feel completely cared for. On the big day, Taylor was a calm, steady presence. He was supportive, patient, and reassuring, helping us stay present and truly enjoy every moment. We trusted him completely, and he captured our day perfectly. Every photo reflects the love and emotion we felt, and we will cherish them forever. Choosing Taylor was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. As my dad said, “he was worth every penny!” We couldn’t recommend him more highly to all our family and friends!

Taylor is such a great photographer, he captured the special moments on our wedding day and did such an amazing job! He has a perfect vision for taking photos. Taylor has a great personality and so kind to everyone and offering to take pictures of everyone during the reception. We got our wedding photos back and continue to look at them everyday and are SO obsessed with how they turned out. He did an absolutely amazing job!!
"Taylor made us feel super comfortable while taking photos and we had a fun time!"
Caitlyn & Chris
Taylor captured our wedding day and our engagement photos so beautifully. The first time my husband and I met him it felt like we were talking to an old friend. He is very personable and makes you feel comfortable in each photo. He made it a point to make us laugh during our couples photos and somehow captured our intimate moments during our wedding without interrupting a thing.
"I cannot recommend him enough!"
The heart behind my business
I'm in the business of capturing treasured moments because my mom did that for our family. She instilled it in us so deeply by filling bins of photos of our childhood memories. The photos were raw and real, and they're a beautiful part of our story.
Now that my wife and I are parents and keenly aware of how fast time goes, I understand even more how valuable those photos are.
The fact that I get to document and freeze these moments for you is a gift I don't take lightly. I truly and deeply care about creating moments you'll hold dearly from your wedding day.
Beyond the Camera
I really enjoy a hard workout.
what else?

I LOVE a good donut.
I have one of the greatest jobs in the world.
I enjoy a round of golf with my buddies and brothers.
I've traveled to India, Guatemala, Mexico, and about 30-plus states.
