Taylor here (Owner + lead photographer of TMinspired). When it comes to my associate photographers, I’m extremely picky when it comes to trusting someone else with my brand. Couples who hire me are trusting me with the task of documenting their most precious memories. This trust is not taken lightly.
All of the photographers that work for TMinspired Photography represent this same brand and shoot with my same style and vibe. Having associate photographers on my team is a way for me to take on more dates, locations, and ultimately serve more couples with the trusted TMinspired experience.
Associate photographers are professional photographers who can photograph weddings on dates where I am already booked. It is also a way that I can provide services to couples who need a discounted package rate, or would like to save on travel costs.
TMinspired Photography is owned and operated by me, Taylor. When you send an email or contact my Instagram, you’ll hear from my personally. All communication, planning, and editing is still handled by me.
The year 2020 required weddings to pivot and reimagine what future wedding seasons will look like. I decided it was finally time to add a few vetted and trusted photographer’s onto my team, and thank goodness I did! The years following have been full of beautiful celebrations, and I can now accommodate more couples as a part of the TMinspired Photography brand.
An associate photographer is basically magic.
It's like HAVING me BE in two places at once!
TMINSPIRED ASSOCIATE PHOTOGRAPHERS
JULIA
MADISON
Based in the PNW (Seattle)
Julia has been photographing weddings since 2010, and over the past decade has been honored to witness love stories of all shapes and sizes come together in front of her camera. She believes that no two journeys to “we do” look the same, and the diversity of her couples is part of what Julia loves about this job most of all. As an enneagram 3 and INFJ, storytelling is what drew her to weddings, and having the chance to serve couples by creating an inclusive space for people of all backgrounds within the industry is what has kept her here. She is based in Seattle where she lives with her husband and their four legged crew, and has a newfound passion for houseplants.
Based in the PNW (Seattle)
Madison was born and raised in the PNW. She grew up bringing her point and shoot camera everywhere she went. Her passion continued into adulthood as she found the importance of capturing the big moments, small moments, and everything in between. Madison is a mom to two wonderful kids, is a lifelong vegetarian, and will always have a love for The Beatles. She values telling a detailed story through her photographs.
ASHLEY
EMMA
Based in the PNW (Seattle)
When Ashley isn't behind the camera, you can find her either on the trails with her husband and wonder dog or haunting a local bookshop. Ashely will be the first to admit that she spends WAYYY too much time on Tiktok for someone who is 30, but she likes to think that it keeps her "hip with the kids". If you like Star Wars, books, dogs, or Diet Coke, it's safe to say that you will probably be instant friends.
Based in the PNW (Seattle)
Emma loves to capture real connection while creating a fun environment, allowing couples to feel like themselves. Trained with a photojournalistic eye, Emma loves to document weddings in a genuine way. She loves to find the uniqueness each couple hold and photographs their love story with warmth and sentiment. Emma is a sucker for a good story, and thinks the best nights are when you are surrounded by your closest friends, sharing a bottle of wine and reminiscing over old memories.
DANI
JACQUE
Based in the PNW (Portland)
Dani fell in love with photography after her parents bought her a crappy 3 megapixel camera in the hopes it got her off of World of Warcraft (It didn't work, but she hasn't been farther than 5 feet from a camera ever since). She's an unapologetic Hufflepuff and bird enthusiast. Dani will spend your day joking with you, discussing the ins and outs of fictional worlds, and probably telling you all about her feathered sidekick like any bird-nerd would. All the while, you'll be getting your real, genuine reactions photographed and woven into a visual story you can cherish forever.
Based in the PNW (Seattle)
Jacque grew up in Western Washington and enjoyed being surrounded by the evergreens and the ocean. She now lives in Eastern Washington and gets to appreciate the valleys and deserts of that region! She is passionate about dogs, adventure, sunshine, and love stories. As a wedding photographer since 2017, her main focus is making sure each couple feels comfortable, confident and celebrated while she captures their big day. She looks for honest and candid moments to help seal real memories into the form of a photo. Your love story deserves to be celebrated deeply and fiercely!
LEAH
Based in the PNW (Portland)
Leah grew up in the mountains, forests, and valleys of the Western United States, and her work is heavily inspired by the landscapes of her childhood. Her favorite waterfall is Wahclella in the Columbia Gorge and her favorite dinosaur is the Pachycephalosaurus. Leah is a documentary-style photographer meaning that, like a proper introvert, she sits back and lets your day unfold (and steps in with guidance when needed!). She feels that the in-between moments - when you are lost in each other and forget the camera is there - make for the most authentic images.
HANNAH
AMANDA
Based in Southern California
Hannah has a heart for travel and to explore new places, cultures, and food. Her wedding photography journey began back in 2009. As each year passes, she has come to appreciate more and more the importance of capturing weddings day exactly as the couple would want to remember it. The details that make this day so personal, the family there to support your love, the hugs, tears, laughs, and of course, you and your best friend. Your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, and it deserves to be beautifully documented and cherished for decades to come. Many have referred to Hannah as an "Old soul." Old films, music and photographs are some of her absolute favorite things to indulge in.
Based in Southern California
Photography is Amanda's creative dream come true. You may hear her yell "YAAASS!" more than once throughout your portrait session, and she's a big fan of punny jokes. Around high school, Amanda found out for herself how important memories were. Not just the ones she was creating currently but the ones that she couldn’t get back. She realized that captured moments carry such a significance for her that she wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too. Amanda believes that the unexpected moments can really make wedding photo galleries really special. Her all time favorite movies are Midnight in Paris and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
"If you're looking for a photographer who will not only beautifully capture your big day with joy, but will also go the extra mile in every way, look no further." - Michael & Todd
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
• What are associate photographers?
Associate photographers are professional photographers who will come to document your love story on my behalf. They have experience photographing weddings, are insured, and shoot with very similar gear to me. I personally vet them before they join the team. They are there to represent my brand, and to provide the TMinspired experience for you.
• How does it work?
I still do all the communication and planning with you! You are paired with your associate photographer approximately 6 months to a year out from your day (sometimes during the booking process!) You will have the chance to set up a phone call between you and the chosen photographer for you to build your own rapport with them. My associate photographers are there to document your elopement or wedding day on my behalf, will send all of the photos to me, and I will edit and deliver them directly to you!
• What if we want an engagement session?
If we're doing an engagement session, I will personally be your photographer for that. If you would prefer to work with your chosen associate photographer, we can absolutely make that happen as well. Heads up, it will be an extra cost. (To respect their time and art!)
• Are associate photographer packages discounted?
Yes! Packages booked with associate photographers start at $3,750. :) If your wedding is taking place when I'm in a different state and one of my associates is closer to you than I am, you'll also save on those travel costs. You can see my main package choices on my pricing page.
• Will my photos look like your portfolio?
YES. This is so important to me that the entire experience will feel fluid for you. My associate photographers shoot with my similar posing style and vibe. They will then send me the photos and I will sort through and edit them in my style, just as I do for every other wedding! It will feel like I was right there with you!
• Do you have sample galleries?
It's important to me that you feel comfortable and reassured that your photos will look like the ones in my portfolio! Look at the bio's above for links to sample galleries.
