TAYLOR
(She/her)
Owner and primary lead photographer of tmInspired Photography. Taylor currently lives in Seattle, WA with her family. She and her husband work as a photography and videography team, spending their weekends traveling and documenting love stories around the world. Documenting weddings since high school, she recently celebrated 15 years of following her passion. She wouldn’t call herself a backpacker, but she does love a breathtaking view. Even the shadows of flowers on her curtains can captivate her. She loves to watch the way light whimsically dances around her for ages – which reflects why utilizing light is such a big part of her art.
Taylor built a team of personally vetted associate photographers who work under her brand. Whether you book Taylor directly, or choose a locally based associate photographer for your wedding day, Taylor will see through your entire project. She will still help craft photo-based timelines, discuss top priorities and connect you one-on-one with the associate paired with you on your day. She even handles all of the editing, so the photos you receive reflect the work you’ve seen in our combined portfolio.
Working with the team will feel like you’ve known us for years. We believe that your wedding day should feel like the most epic celebration of your love. The experience we provide our clients stand out from the rest.
AMANDA H.
(She/her)
Based in Southern California (Orange County, to be more specific!) 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. Mom of 2 kids, she is used to finding the calm in the midst of chaos. 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. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.
AMANDA V.
(She/her)
Amanda lives in Arizona but serves the Southern California area often when she visits family and friends. Orange County is where she grew up and loves when work can bring her back to visit. She spent her childhood experiencing weddings through her mom’s eyes as a florist. Amanda loved seeing a wedding come to life from beginning to end. As she grew up, so did her own creativity. She always wanted to find an avenue that feeds her creative spirit and pursuing photography became an obvious choice for her. To this day, she still finds satisfaction in a wedding coming to life. Elegance and style is at the front of her mind. Mom of 3 kiddos, she is fueled by her sense of adventure and bottomless iced coffee. Click here to view her tmInspired sample gallery.

I fell in love with her photos early on
I had an incredibly meaningful experience with Taylor and her team. She was the photographer for my maid of honor 8 years ago. Taylor and her team were such a joy to work with and laugh with while getting ready. Amanda was so patient with me and some of my demanding family members who suddenly wanted their own portraits last minute. I appreciated her flexibility and prioritizing the shots I wanted so much. And they took hilarious photos of our dog in his tuxedo! She and Alyssa made me and my bridesmaids feel comfortable in front of the camera for portraits but really the magic for me was in their candid photos. I was absolutely blown away when we got out photos, and every one of my family and friends were stunned at how well emotions translated in these photos. My husband got teary eyed when we received our photos, and he’s not generally an emotional person.
I want to add that Taylor was so easy to work with and get in touch with throughout wedding planning. We planned our wedding in 6 months, and she was flexible and patient (even with my last addition of a second dress and dress change into the timeline a week before the wedding!). She’s not only professional but also a gem of an artist. If I had to pay 5x the price of her current rates, I would do it in a heartbeat. Worth every hard earned penny, and one of the best decisions we ever made for our wedding day!

Communication was a breeze
I feel so lucky we found Taylor for our engagement and wedding photos! We knew we wanted to prioritize photography when we were planning everything and were so glad we took the time to find her. She was the first vendor we booked and by far the best part of our engagement and wedding planning! Besides being super talented, she is a wonderfully kind person, and an incredible professional. Invoicing/payment was very clear from the start and easy to complete, access to our galleries was very easy, and she was incredibly prompt with sending us sneak peeks and final albums. Communication was a breeze, she was clear and organized and gave us excellent tips for our wedding timeline. For anyone worried about looking stiff or not knowing what to do for their photos, Taylor will bring out those smiles and keep you comfortable. We will be reliving our wedding through these photos year after year!

I feel like I’m reliving the best day of my life over again
Taylor’s associate Amanda were absolutely amazing! They captured our wedding day so beautifully and our photos came out way better than I could’ve ever imagined! They were exactly what I wanted and more! Every time I look at them I feel like I’m reliving the best day of my life over again. Taylor was so quick to respond to my questions and organize all the details which made everything so easy to plan. I was nervous about being in front of the camera but Amanda helped ease my nerves so much on the day in guiding us on what to do and it was such a fun experience doing the photo shoot after our ceremony at sunset cliffs. I definitely recommend Taylor and her team!!
