Talented, patient, and dedicated photographer!

We’re so grateful to Whole Heart Studios for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. Taylor was incredibly patient, making sure we felt comfortable and never rushed. The final photos exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with her work! Highly recommended!

Wedding with Whole Heart Studios

Taylor and Billy were absolutely fantastic to work with! We first met Taylor at our engagement shoot at SML and had some crazy requests (taking pictures in the lake in March hehe), and Taylor made it happen no problem! Taylor is great at making you feel comfortable with poses and collaborating ideas. She is organized when it comes to the wedding day by filling out a survey of everything/everyone you want captured on the big day! This helped SO much in a smooth transition and relieved any stressors! We also paid for the videography which Billy handled, and he did an AMAZING job! I highly recommend including this option in your package as it is such a sweet memory to relive your wedding day. Billy made sure to capture all the sentimental moments and we are so thankful. Taylor, Billy, and the entire Whole Heart Studio team did such a great job and we could not recommend them enough!!!

Great experience!

We found and hired Whole Heart to do our wedding video at the recommendation of our photographer. From day one, Billy was so easy to work with and was totally open to making sure we got what we were hoping for out of our wedding video. He and his assistant Ally were both great to have with us the day of the wedding and they made us and our wedding party and family feel so comfortable on camera. They worked seamlessly alongside our photography team, which just made the entire day feel so stress-free and relaxed. We loved having Whole Heart as part of our wedding day and can't wait to see the final product!

A Fun, Talented and Kind Team

We worked with Taylor as our lead photographer and Billy was her backup shooter on wedding day. It was such a joy working with Taylor throughout the entire process and the quality of her photography is just immaculate and everything I could have hoped for in our wedding photos! She welcomed feedback after the engagement shoot session and was always flexible and adaptable. She was also just a delightful and calming presence on wedding day (my parents specifically commented on how lovely she was to work with) but kept the shot list MOVING and the wedding party & family all organized - not an easy feat! You are with your photographer your entire wedding day and man are we lucky to have found just a great, kind person to capture those moments alongside us. Thank you for everything, Taylor!

The best photographer!!!

We cannot thank Taylor enough for the gorgeous photos that her and her second shooter took at our wedding! We would highly recommend Whole Heart Studios for your wedding photography! The photos are exactly the vibe we were hoping for and her turnaround time is great! The day of the wedding itself, she was also extremely organized and fantastic at keeping everyone in line and directing them to where they needed to be. She also kept us on time and eventually ahead of schedule in our portraits which allowed us more time to enjoy with our guests!

Incredible duo for photo and video needs!

My husband and I used WholeHeart Studios for all of our photography and videography wedding needs and could not be happier with our decision. For our engagement photos, we wanted to incorporate our dog Paisley into things. While Taylor worked her magic, Billy offered to hang with Paisley until we were ready for her. This was above and beyond for us. On our wedding day, Taylor, Billy and their second shooters made everything so easy and fun. What was a windy November day, turned into incredible memories of waiting for wind gusts to die down and running for warmth. They ran with us, froze with us and laughed with us! Incredible quality photos, witty repartee and a video that has us crying as we relive our amazing day all over again. Cannot thank Billy and Taylor enough!

Absolutely amazing!!!

It’s hard to explain how amazing our experience has been with Whole Heart Studios. Taylor and Billy have blown us away ever since our first FaceTime with them. They are so down to earth and made us and our bridal party feel so comfortable on our wedding day. They exude the most perfect energy and that was so important to me. We had so much fun during our engagement session with Taylor, and the photos turned out so amazing. We received a sneak peek of our wedding day photos and they instantly brought me to tears. I also highly recommend going with the videography, you will not regret it. My husband and I feel forever indebted to Taylor and Billy for providing us with the most precious memories of our big day. They executed absolutely flawlessly. Do not look any further for a photographer/videographer, Whole Heart Studios is the best out there!

Wedding and Maternity Shoot

Two years later and everything worked out so well that all of the pressure of planning a wedding is all but a memory, but at the time, my husband and I were so overwhelmed when we were trying to pick a wedding photographer/videographer. We went to a wedding convention and met Billy and Taylor (the owners of Whole Heart Studios). They immediately drew our attention as they were incredibly personable and we loved their sample portfolio. After officially engaging (pun intended) with them, Billy and Taylor did everything in their power to ensure that our needs were met and the day of the wedding would go smoothly with little effort for us on the day of. What we mostly appreciated about working with Whole Heart Studios was their commitment to ensuring that our photography/videography experience was unique to us. They sent us samples of different photographers and videographers that they had on staff so that the people shooting our wedding had a style that matched what we wanted. Of course, despite being so satisfied with everything Billy and Taylor had done up to that point, as any couple would be, we were still nervous because there is never any sure way of knowing how the pictures and videos will actually turn out.

Following the wedding, we truly were overjoyed to see the high quality of the photos and videos that Whole Heart Studios had captured. They were even able to capture our large extended families in beautiful sharp focus in a single sprawling shot. As I am Lebanese, we had a Zeffe band as part of the reception which we were not sure whether any company would be able to capture well on video and in photos but Whole Heart exceeded our expectations. We have watched the videos and looked at our wedding album numerous times over the past two years because of the amazing way Whole Heart was able to capture the day which has allowed us to relive our wedding over and over again. Whole Heart Studios’ commitment to a personalized experience for every couple is commendable and important for anyone to know when considering them.

We were so happy with the job Whole Heart Studios did with our photos for the wedding that we gave them a call two years later to do a maternity shoot when we found out we were going to have a baby. Billy and Taylor did our photoshoot personally and once again exceeded my husband and my expectations. We can’t endorse them enough and will continue to use them to capture all of our future big life events.

Beyond amazing

Words can not express how amazing the Whole Heart Studios Team is. My husband and I hired them for both our full day wedding videography and our whole day wedding photography team! We had 2 amazing photographers and 2 amazing videographers and we are so happy with how everything turned out. They are so fun and easy to work with and while on your wedding day of course everything can't always go as you plan and schedule it but the entire team was extremely flexible and my husband and I trusted them in last minute decisions and we were so happy we did that. Billy, Taylor and their team are true professionals who really put their couples first and we can't thank them enough for going above and beyond for our wedding!!

The Best Addition to our Day!

I honestly cannot explain how great Taylor was throughout the whole wedding process! One of my relatives gave me the advice to make sure you got along with your photographer as they'll be with you all day long. I also got the advice that its better if the videographer and photographer work well together so that they work as one rather than against each other so we hired Whole Heart Studios for both our photography and videography package and honestly could not be happier with how everything turned out!
Taylor scheduled a "Skype" call to learn more about us as a couple and to make sure that we would "click" and I immediately knew she was the best choice. She helped us throughout the whole process including making sure not only what types of photos we wanted taken, but also how we would like them to be edited. She had us fill out a whole sheet about what was important to capture and what "family shots" we would need. She also helped with the day of timeline. I was deadset against a "first look" and unlike other photographers I had talked to she didn't try to argue this with me and instead helped us plan out the day to maximize photo and guest time!
When it came to the day of Taylor and her team were a great addition to the day. We had hired a second photographer and videographer through her and the whole team really made the day even more fun then it already was. They had us, our families, and our bridal party laughing the whole day! (7:30 AM-10 PM). But at the same time they let us enjoy the day and weren't so prominent at the reception where they took away from the day!
Before we even got to our honeymoon we had over ten " sneak peek" photos and fell in love. Having them this quickly also allowed us to get thank you notes ordered for the guests. The full album came about 2.5 months after our wedding which may seem like a long time but it was perfect because we got to relive the day all over again (We also got married in the fall which we know now is the busiest time for weddings). Taylor also edited out this extremely large wooden flag that unexpectedly took over the whole church stairs and then also dropped everything when we asked to get two family photos early so we could use them as Christmas gifts! In total there ended up being over 800 photos that were all different and captured so many events throughout the night.
The videography was also amazing. We received a one minute "Preview" video a few months after the wedding which was the perfect highlight to the day and a few weeks later received the 7 minute "full" video which I cannot stop watching and cry at every time. It really showed how great of a day we had. Lastly we paid a little extra for the "full footage" which ended up being so much more than we expected! It had a full video of the WHOLE ceremony, ALL the speeches, the Dances, and then all the other fun (including dance floor shenanigans). It's so great to see the full day through everyone elses' eyes and was such a great compliment.
We really cannot recommend Taylor and her team more! They will not only enhance your day, but will provide the most perfect invaluable keepsakes ! If they're available for your date hire them now!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What can I say about Taylor and Billy?! Their eye for detail, the consistency in their professionalism, and their fun personality are just the beginnings of the joys that they are. Their work is marvelous in showcasing the details, the couples, the families, and the love. Having recommended them numerous amounts of times to my clients, I am never disappointed when I have the honor to work with them.

Whole Heart Studios is such a phenomenal team! In November 2017, I had the opportunity to meet and work alongside Taylor and Billy who were just so great. We were able to coordinate together to get the shots we all needed while also being cognizant to not get in each others shots (which can be tough when there are so many cameras)! They absolutely know what they're doing when it comes to capturing the moments that matter on your big day and are so great at telling the story of your wedding through their editing! I was able to see the teaser video they created for the wedding we worked on together and it had me in tears! It was so, so beautiful and I cannot wait to see the full version (I imagine I'll be blubbering like a baby)! As a vendor I'd love to work with Whole Heart Studios again in the future and I know any couple would be lucky to have them capture their wedding day!
