Seattle Photographer Creating Intentional Images for Joyful Soulmates

Hi, I’m Taylor.

I’m a photographer who believes photos are about moments, not poses. When you’re with your people, you want to soak up the heartfelt words and touches. Wedding celebrations are about relationships. It’s about having fun and stepping into your legacy.

Your wedding photos are the first family heirloom you create.

As your Seattle photographer, my team and I are dedicated to telling your love story and the documentation of your day as it unfolds. We have a deep understanding of how your day will one day be a distant memory. Your timeless images will be what will help you share and remember the stories.

Let’s create images that capture your unique magic. I can’t wait to step into this journey with you.

WORK WITH ME

  • New wandering weddings badge

Get to know your Seattle photographer!

  • I split my time between the PNW and Orange County, California.
    My husband, Nathan, and I are from SoCal. Moving to Washington has been such an adventure. How could I not fall in love with the dramatic mountains and the moody light on the Puget Sound? The endless places to explore are a big reason I love photographing proposals and weddings. Well, that and the sweep-you-off-your-feet romance.
  • I’m a picky-eater-turned-foodie.
    Growing up, I would only eat a handful of things. Then I met my husband’s family. They were such adventurous eaters that it actually made me nervous. Eventually, they won me over. Now Nathan and I spend time seeking out new restaurants with cool vibes. Ask me for a rec in your city!
  • Nature inspires me endlessly.
     I wouldn’t call myself a backpacker, but I love a breathtaking view. Even the shadows of flowers on my curtains can captivate me. Add some prism window clings to the mix? It’s all over. I’ll watch the way light whimsically dances around me for ages. That’s why it’s such a big part of my photography.
  • We’re proud PARENTS & pawrents.
    Nathan and I are parents to our son, Cooper. I’m so grateful for the growth, the lessons, the quiet joy in small moments. Our family dog Daisy is a fluffy ball of endless energy. I don’t know what we’d do without her goofy antics and soft snuggles. While I’m grateful for this work that I get to pour my heart into, I’m especially grateful for my family that I get to come home to.
  • how I found my purpose as a wedding photographer, a story told by a seattle based photographer

Unwavering dedication to your love story


In a lot of ways, my approach to being a Seattle photographer is rooted in my own story. Nathan and I met in high school in Orange County, California. Life threw us quite a few curveballs – including a wildfire that forced us to relocate our wedding at the last minute. Through it all, we remained intentional about our relationship. Now that we are parents to our son Cooper, we have found a whole new meaning to the word “love.”

We’re lucky enough to work as a Seattle photographer and videographer team. We get to travel the world documenting soulmates celebrating their love in front of their most important people. We feel so lucky that this is our job. 

When I’m your Seattle photographer, I’ll bring my signature sense of playfulness and gratitude to your images.

STORY TIME 14 years ago, I photographed my first STORY TIME

14 years ago, I photographed my first solo wedding.

I was 20 years old and had 2 years of wedding experience, but never as a lead. The clients knew this, agreed to this, and I charged them $500 for a full 8 hour day (just so it wasn’t “free”)

And in the end… they hated the photos.

The bride described herself as very expressive. Asked for multiple re-edits, expected photos we did not discuss prior (They were not industry standard photos, but my inexperience showed in how I handled her expectations), and nearly asked for a refund.

I almost quit wedding photography all together.

Maybe I wasn’t cut out for this.

But I persevered and I’m so glad I did. My second couple was an absolute BLESSING. Their wedding was the experience I once wished I had instead for the start of my career.

But now I think otherwise.

There is no way to redo a wedding and I’ve never taken that lightly. For years, I felt shame over these photos.

But I have a new understanding of it all now and appreciate how much I’ve grown.

I actually think I did a pretty good job, too, all things considered (shall I list all the things I had to pivot through, like my 2nd photographer I hired to help me who left during dinner without notice??)

I’m sad that they were unhappy, but I’m still grateful for the experience. 

This is a passion that runs so deep that even when I crashed and burned that first time, I got up and did it again.

I worked harder, communicated better, became more prepared.

I learned from every lesson in which I failed.

A lot of my journey has been exciting. But most of it hasn’t been easy… it’s been earned.

I love this industry down to my bones.

Now, when June 23rd rolls around, I’m not haunted by the memories of failure. Instead, I’m reminded of the resilience I see in this industry, and also in myself. 💛

Something has shifted in how I show up. Anticipati Something has shifted in how I show up. Anticipation has always been part of how we work. Reading a room, sensing what is about to happen before it does. But this season it has gotten sharper and more instinctive.

I think the balancing act of motherhood and being a business owner created that shift. It has taught me to slow down pay attention differently.

Ultimately, storytelling has never felt more important to me than it does right now. Not just on a wedding day but in everything I choose to document and why.

That belief has also found its way into the team, into the way we all read a room, hold space, and tell a story. tmInspired is made of real people, in real seasons, showing up fully.

We have always believed that who you are outside the work shapes everything inside it. This season has found to be proving that more than ever.

That “just engaged” feeling ✨ Proposals in popula That “just engaged” feeling ✨

Proposals in popular, busy locations like Pike Place add an extra element of anxiety when you’re the one chosen to document the big moment. As Eminem says, you’ve only got one shot. 😂

After the big moment happens and it starts to sink in, we get to celebrate with engagement photos. I love hearing the conversations in between of all the little secrets finally coming to light. It’s thrilling and meaningful and SUCH a joy.

What a privilege that this is my job. There’s nothing quite like it. ✨
