Incredible Photographers!

Tay & McKay captured so many beautiful shots of our wedding! What's more: they went above and beyond to learn more about us as a couple, the vibe of our wedding, and what type of shots we wanted. They captured so many great, candid photos of the important moments on our big day. Plus, they were so genuinely nice! It was lovely having them be a part of our intimate wedding ceremony and reception. They were also very patient, organized and professional and helped keep me stay mellow and carefree when it started to rain like crazy right before our outdoor ceremony. They delivered the photos in a super timely fashion, and we're so happy with the results. They were a joy to work with and we'd highly recommend Tay & McKay!

Taylor & Michaella were EVERYTHING we could’ve asked for and more!

Taylor & Michaella were EVERYTHING we could’ve asked for and more! I cannot brag on this couple enough. Before the wedding they were responsive and totally willing to listen all the ideas we had dreamt about. We had a small destination wedding on Maui with just our immediate family and Taylor & Michaella fit right in to the quaint and intimate vibe. They did extra recon around the island to fit a vision I had from afar and they made it all come to life. Our previews were absolutely stunning and came right on time. The rest of our photos and video followed right behind and were perfectly edited; Michaella’s eye and style is truly everything we wished for. Taylor’s video brought back all of the emotions from our day; he captured every little detail. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. They have so much heart and passion for their craft and for their couples. Whether you’re looking for HI locals for your destination wedding or just downright wonderful people to add to your day, trust this couple, I promise you will adore them and their work! Thank you Tay+Mckay!

Absolutely in Love with the Video and Photos!!!

We were so happy with the video and photos we received from Taylor and Michaella of our 10 year anniversary! The video is absolutely dreamy and is everything I had hoped it would be. They are pros at capturing emotion. They made posing fun and easy and had great ideas for beautiful lifestyle shots. They're such a sweet couple and we would definitely hire them again for our next photo shoot. Everything from them was stunning quality. You can be sure they'll capture all the details and emotion of your special event.

Profound & Professional

I chose to work with Tay & McKay as part of my destination wedding package with The Royal Kona Resort in Kona, Hawaii. Unfortunately, Michaella and her partner weren't able to come, but they sent their coworkers (Emily & her partner, who were amazing) to take pictures, and Michaella still promised to edit the pictures herself. I only had them for 2 hours as part of my package (if I had them for additional hours it would have costed $750/hr), but they were super professional and kind despite time FLYING by. I love her soft and elegant style, and my pictures turned out better than I expected. And even in the midst of having their newborn baby, Michaella still managed to respond in a timely matter to my emails. My full gallery was edited and available less than a month after my wedding, and Michaella was also very understanding about my payment requests. I am so happy we chose T&M, thank you!

Amazing, friendly photographer

Michaella was amazing. She was super friendly and we had a great connection from the first email. There was a bit of a mix up on the wedding day and she was a few minutes late but she made it up to us and stayed later to get photos of our first dance. She spent time talking to us and working out what we wanted for our photos and captured the love and happiness of our day. We were very impressed with the images and she was able to adjust some of the editing to our liking.
