Stunning Candid Photographer

Em Taylor Photography is one of the best in the business. Emily is extremely personable and professional, providing light guidance on posing but also focusing on capturing candid moments. For our engagement session, Emily stayed with us for an extra hour because we were all having a great time. Likewise, she was there for getting ready photos and stayed until we snuck into our getaway car. We absolutely adore all the photos she was able to capture, and we recommend her to anyone looking for amazing wedding photography.

Amazing work, amazing personality

After interviewing a few photographers for our small wedding ceremony, Emily's artistic talent and can-do personality really shined through. She was really great to work with throughout the entire process and reasonably priced. We opted for a 1-hour couple photo shoot after the wedding ceremony, and it was a really fun hour working with her to capture different shots and poses. And needless to say the final products surpassed our expectations. I would recommend Emily to anyone- she made us feel comfortable, supported, and fit in well with our small group

Best photographer of all time

I dont have enough words for how amazing Emily has been from start to finish. First and foremost her photos from our wedding and our engagement photos are stunning (like vogue magazine stunning). But when you have to spend all day with this person they become one of the most important people on your wedding day and she was everything!! on time, kind, patient and made sure everything we envisioned came to life! Best vendor we had!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
