    Gorgeous photos

    Taylor was amazing! She did our engagement photos and the photos for our wedding day and we are so impressed with the quality and detail. She was flexible with us and worked hard to make sure we got every photo we wanted on a very short timeline before sundown. She was quick and prepared. Not only was she an amazing photographer but she was easy to work with and talk to about our ideas. I loved that I didn’t have to tell her much of what we needed or wanted, she just told us what to do and took care of the details. Definitely hire her- you won’t be disappointed!

    Amazing Experience

    What can we say that hasn’t already been said? Not only is Taylor an incredible photographer, she’s an amazing person too.  We are so blown away by our wedding photos. The pictures perfectly reflect the emotions and beauty of our day, as well as all the fun, laughs and smiles. Taylor is truly an artist! Her photography is incredible and you have a picture for every moment. They are utterly beautiful and I cannot wait to get them printed. We’ve ended up with some gorgeous, true-to-life shots of ourselves and our friends and family, as well as some shots of the two of us that we just adore. We are truely grateful.

    I was honestly blown away by Taylor's photos--I feel like she is way *undercharging* for the quality and diversity of images she provides. Yes, you will have to wait slightly longer than other photographers, but I feel as though Taylor was 100% worth it. She captured both the typical (and necessary) "posed" photographs, as well as hundreds of candid shots. I honestly don't know how she captured so many beautiful shots, as she never seemed intrusive. During the reception, (I mean this as a compliment) I didn't even notice her--she is exactly what you want! So, so impressed.

    Taylor has a true talent and I wholeheartedly recommend her!

    Taylor was amazing. I didnt even realize she was taking pictures most of the time. Her direction and ideas were top notch and i will no doubt hire her to do any other photos i would need.

    I really can't say enough great things about Tay Gray! It rained on my outdoor wedding day and to say the least I was a bit of a mess. She reassured me and seriously was the calm during the storm. She was very sweet and professional and all around did an amazing job. And of course her photos are stunnning and she was quick to know what to do during the rain. I would highly recommend her!

    My daughter hired Tay Gray for her engagement and wedding photos. A lot of time and attention was paid to detail and requests for certain photos were made and honored as well as suggestions being made that we might not have thought about. Very professional, very talented, highly recommended, and we will definitely use her for future special event photography needs.

    Hands down Taylor is so talented! She's organized, patient and directs very well. Reasonably priced. I've only seen 5 of our wedding photos so far and I'm beyond impressed.

    We were so happy to have Taylor be a part of our special day! We could not have asked for a better photographer. She was sweet, calm, professional and so very helpful in capturing our memories. She and her assistant took awesome candid and posed photos, and she had such great suggestions for capturing just the right shots! We have seen our teaser set of photos, and they are BEAUTIFUL!! She really has done a fantastic job of making gorgeous, unique and touching photographs that we will cherish forever. Thank you so much Taylor! I recommend you to anyone looking for photographer for any occasion.

    Taylor was absolutely amazing! She is so down to earth so I definitely felt comfortable around her! She was so nice to everyone and definitely made sure that everyone was where they needed to be. Very professional. Taylor did my bridals as well and they are amazing. She is very creative and fun! I would absolutely recommend her for any type of event. I will be booking her again the next time I need a photographer!

    My wife and I were looking to get some pictures done for our engagement and came across Taylor Gordon, owner of TayGray Photography. We told her what we were looking for and she was more than happy to share her ideas on different poses and places that would make this special time memorable. After sharing her ideas with us and countless time searching local photographers, it was clear that TayGray Photography was no doubt who we wanted to capture these memories for us. Taylor showed extreme professionalism and class during the entire experience. We took the pictures and eagerly waited to see how they would turn out. To our surprise she had a "Teaser" done in no time and needless to say my wife and I were stunned at the quality of her work. Taylor had the full session done and delivered in a very timely manor. I found it to be very helpful that Taylor took the time to give us updates on her progress so that we were not wondering how far along she was with our shoot. We can not wait to schedule our next photo shoot with her and I would HIGHLY recommend TayGray Photography to anyone looking to have ANY photos done.

    After stalking her webpage and Facebook page for a couple of months while searching for wedding vendors I finally took the leap and booked her for our wedding. First, she completely went above and beyond what any photographer would ever do. We were short one table and she knew a vendor that possibly had a spare table we could use for the evening. AND she went and got it. I totally didn't expect a photographer to go above and beyond like that. And the icing on the cake was when we got our photos.. They were amazing!!!! We are extremely happy with the way that all of them turned out! I cannot wait to proudly display them! We will be setting up more photo sessions with her in the future for sure!

    Taylor was awesome. Everything was rushed on my part and trying to get everything in order for the big day. We found out last minute we were short one table. Taylor left the wedding house to pick up a table for us. She was very organized unlike myself. We had some rain throughout the day which didn't help with everything. Taylor was right there rain or shine to capture the moments. The pictures turned out excellent. Next time we are in Florida, we will have family pictures taken by Taylor.

    Tay Gray Photography has done many sessions for me. Our first was a session she did with my brother and I as a Christmas gift to my Mom. She captured our relationship as brother and sister perfectly.
    She has done Individual shots of me. She comes up with different Ideas I would never even think to do and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. They always come out amazingly!

    I would highly recommend her as a photographer! :)

    Taylor does an awesome job! She went above and beyond on the day of my wedding! She made sure to capture all of the special moments of my big day, and did it beautifully! She has a sweet personality and I would definitely use her services again if I lived in Florida (we live in Missouri).

    No one wants to read an essay so here's a short list:

    Pros:
    Competitive advantage of price
    Flexible to unforeseen special requirements/situations
    Beautiful photos
    Stays out of the way on the big day but still captures the great moments

    Cons:
    No sense of importance for deadlines- none
    Late to everything with an excuse for why
    Lack of follow through on promises
    Overextended (which I assume contributes greatly to her poor service)

    If all you care about is what your pictures look like in the end, regardless of how long it takes to get them or how many times the ETA gets pushed, go for it. If you care at all for professional responsibility, look elsewhere.

    Good luck with your wedding planning!

    The Contract is Meaningless

    Overall, we were pretty disappointed with the whole experience. She was late to the wedding, didn’t introduce herself to me or my husband when she got there. Fast forward to after the wedding, we got the sneak peek about 3 weeks later which was 50 pictures. Even though our contract said 6-8 weeks for all photos, we did not get all of our photos until almost 15 WEEKS, after we threatened to get a lawyer. It was weeks and weeks of excuses. She also will say that she is doing something today, for example, mailing some prints or uploading photos and then she never does. At 14 weeks, we told her that she had 48 hours to deliver the photos or we needed to get a lawyer, and that’s when we finally got them. I don’t recommend anyone hiring her.

    GREAT pictures but be prepared to wait a whileee!

    I hired Taylor when she was recommended by my wedding planner. I looked at her previous work and loved the quality of her photos! Especially for the price. I had read reviews that she took some time to receive the pictures. One person said she took around 10 weeks to receive the pictures. The contract I signed said I would receive my sneak peeks within 48 hours and all the edited photos within 6-8 weeks, but COULD take longer during busy season. We got married in May which I realize is wedding season. However, it took over a week to receive our sneak peeks, after following up with her several times. Then it took ALMOST 16 WEEKS to get all of the edited pictures from the wedding! I had to contact her multiple times via email, phone call, text, etc. Every time I contacted her she would promise to send the pictures that same day or have some excuse. After 5-6 times of following up, I did not even believe anymore of her excuses. I was very scared she lost all of our pictures! I had even reached out to an attorney to review the contract and send her a letter to find out when I would ACTUALLY get the pictures!! The pictures looked AMAZING but honestly...save your money and go with someone who will actually give you the pictures during the time frame in the contract.

    Pics looked great, time took double what is quoted. Price is okay but just don't get in a hot hurry expecting your finished product ready on time.
