  The best wedding photographer!

  We were lucky enough to be able to have Taylor photograph our engagement and our wedding. He was always on time and ready to go. He knew what shots to get as well as how and where to get them.
  
  Sure, we could’ve had a half cousin’s friend’s photographer-girlfriend shoot our wedding. However we knew that photographs are important and they would be the one thing that we could look back on to remember our special wedding day.
  
  We were not disappointed and Taylor delivered more than we thought was possible. We had a small wedding during COVID but he still managed to transport to the perfect locations to get the best shots.
  
  Taylor was always very personable and ensured that the focus was on our experience during our special day. We really appreciated that about him as he didn’t pull us away from everything we were doing to “pose” for a picture. He allowed us to enjoy our special day and he was where he needed to be to properly capture everything we did during our special day. It was refreshing to have such a natural experience.
  
  We are so happy with our pictures and look forward to showing them to our kids and grandkids in the future. Thanks to Taylor we have timeless photos that we will always be able to look back on. We couldn’t recommend him higher.

  Taylor Abeel is so absolutely amazing words won't do him justice! His photos are beyond spectacular and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives, but Taylor is truly the nicest, most genuine person that you will meet.
  
  From the moment that we sat down to meet Taylor he paid such special attention to what we were looking for and really made us feel confident in his abilities, we spent about 1.5 hours talking and getting to know each other just for our introductory meeting!
  
  We opted to do engagement photos with Taylor, and he was so patient working with me to get the perfect location. When we met up with Taylor at Balboa Park we got a drink and spent an hour getting to know each other more and feeling more relaxed. After, we spent about 2 hours walking around taking photos with Taylor, and I knew that we had chosen the best photographer possible.
  
  For our wedding Taylor was so seamless and efficient at taking all of our photos, and was a dream to be around. He made everyone in the wedding party feel at ease, and he really listened to everything that we wanted and what we wanted to avoid (any awkward posed looking photos). One of my bridesmatrons even joked that she wanted to get married again just to be able to take photos with Taylor.
  
  Our wedding photos are beyond stunning and I will cherish them for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend Taylor anymore and words cannot even do him justice! These are the memories that you will remember forever, and I cannot stress how wonderful it is having stunning photos to remember the best day possible!

  Taylor has shot for my sisters wedding previously so I knew his images were quality! But I was so impressed how comfortable he made us feel that we also had the best time hanging out with him. Taylor is professional and such a thoughtful person and photographer!

  When we were looking through his website, we knew that we absolutely loved Taylor's work. He is clearly a phenomenal photographer. Less than a minute into our first Skype session we knew we absolutely loved Taylor himself. He was the first, and only, photographer we spoke with - we knew he was going to be perfect for us and for our wedding. From that first meeting almost a year ago he has been an absolute pleasure to work with - our high expectations have been so beyond exceeded! We weren't exactly the most decisive couple up front (we started out planning a backyard reception but just didn't have the space) and Taylor was always there helping guide us, including helping us find our amazing DJ. Taylor was so flexible, patient, and understanding. We talked everything from locations and sunset times, to how to minimize the stress of wedding planning and what we were really hoping to achieve with our photos. We also talked about our shared love for the outdoors and fried chicken! That personal connection was so important to us and knowing it was as important to Taylor was fantastic. My fiance and I were also planning our wedding from Philadelphia and Taylor made it very easy. We met for lunch over the holidays and Taylor was so kind to not only treat us to lunch, but also take us through Balboa Park to talk picture ideas. Somehow Taylor was even more amazing on our actual wedding day. He made us so comfortable the whole day and really took the time to get the shots just right. He was cool and collected (and stealthy!) the whole day. While we haven't gotten all our photos back, Taylor did send us a sneak peak and I am blown away. I cannot wait to see the rest! Taylor is a genuinely lovely person who is passionate about, and excellent at what he does. We cannot recommend him highly enough!!

  We were so blown away by Taylor! Having seen his work and knowing what an incredible guy he is, we had really high expectations. He delivered and went way above and beyond. For our engagement session, he encouraged us to think big and outside of the box. Next thing we knew he was guiding us around the wine country of Baja California finding the most perfect locations for a photo shoot!
  The entire experience of working with Taylor was incredible. Amazingly professional and clearly a brilliant photographer, you get the real deal with Taylor. In a time where there seems to be a lot of options when it comes to choosing a photographer, we couldn't have been more pleased with our choice to go with him.
  Our wedding ceremony presented unique challenges with stain glass windows and low lighting and somehow he perfectly captured not only the atmosphere of the space but also the emotion of the day. It is very evident that he studied at one of the most well respected photography schools in the country. He is absolutely everything you would want in a photographer.

  Greg and I are so happy and pleased that we chose Taylor as our wedding photographer! Before the big day he checked in regularly and was well organized. Taylor is also incredibly professional and accommodating, as he worked diligently to fulfill every request we made and question we asked. During the entire day, he had an easygoing attitude and was totally unobtrusive. At the same time, while taking our group photos he was able to take charge and get the necessary shots in a timely manner. We were incredibly pleased with the final product and loved the organic and ethereal nature of his work. My favorite pictures include our ceremony shots that captured the sun shining through the large tree that Greg and I stood under. I also love the pictures that capture me putting on my veil and the bridesmaids and groomsmen group photos.

  Taylor was the most incredible photographer anybody could ever hire. His quality of work is nothing short of the BEST you can get. He was flexible with every change we made, and so very helpful with his knowledge. He felt more like a friend and guest of the wedding by the end of it all. He is so easy to get along with, so much fun, and by far, the best money you brides could EVER spend on your wedding. If you are anything like me, and want the best pictures from your special day, hire Taylor today. You will never regret it!

  Taylor did a wonderful job photographing our wedding. He took over 1000 photos so that we had plenty to choose from. He is excellent to work with and his photos are top notch.
