FAQ:

Why should we hire you for our wedding?

It’s really important to me that you take the time to review my portfolio, read my reviews, set up a time to chat so I may answer all of your questions and concerns, and be sure you are fully confident in your decision to hire me before doing so. My photography style is pretty consistent across the board which means if you like what you see there should be no surprises. I want you to hire me because you’ve fallen in love with my imagery and because my style is reflective of the type of documentation you’ve dreamed of for your wedding day. I work very closely with my couples throughout the wedding process and have formed lifelong relationships with many of my clients as a result, going on to document far beyond their wedding day and capturing many more of life’s milestone moments as their stories continue to unfold. It’s truly a special bond that is built and one of the biggest blessings of my job. I genuinely love what I do and pride myself on working with couples that see the value in my artistry.

How would you describe your style of photography?

I definitely consider myself a lifestyle photographer with an emphasis on capturing raw emotion and detail. While there will be times throughout your wedding day where I will need to organize shots (i.e. formal family photos) my favorite images from any day tend to be candid and unposed. When working with my couples I try my best to direct them in a way that makes them feel comfortable and draws out genuine laughter and real emotion. I try to be as unobtrusive as possible so that I may capture the events of the day as they unfold organically. I've been known to do just about anything for a good shot though and am always up for a creative adventure or challenge if one presents itself. I am an absolute lover of natural light and live for magic hour sunset shots. I do not get overwhelmed easily and having been in this industry for over 10 years have seen and worked through just about anything… and I mean anything.

Do you work with a second photographer?

Yes and no. Some weddings it is simply not necessary for me to have an assistant. I personally love to be able to capture all of the main events myself whether an assistant is present or not whenever possible…however sometimes the situation does not allow me to be everywhere at once and in that case an assistant is absolutely necessary. I am lucky to have a team of skilled assistant photographers and associate shooters to step in when I can't be there as well as cover the events I cannot cover myself. If you inquire about a date that I am already booked it is always an option to work with one of the associate shooters on my team. All correspondence, contracts, editing and delivery of files etc will till be handled by me, essentially one of my associates would just fill in the day of should you choose to go that route.

Do you edit all of your photographs?

Yes. Every single image is edited. I do not provide raw, unedited imagery as I consider each image a work of art and would not hand over incomplete work or work that is not reflective of my brand and artistry. All of your images will be high resolution and unwatermarked.

Where do you live and how far will you travel?

I am lucky enough to live in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley in Santa Barbara, CA with an additional home base in Manhattan, NY and spend my time balancing work and life between the two coasts. I do not charge travel fees within Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, Manhattan, Brooklyn, and parts of Long Island and New Jersey. If you are inquiring about a location outside of my standard shooting range contact me so I may quote you appropriately based on distance and circumstance. I also offer destination wedding packages as well as the opportunity to have your full wedding weekend documented....rehearsal dinners, welcome receptions, brunch ect…

Do you also provide videography services?

I don’t. I place all of my emphasis on photography as to not miss any important moments throughout your day and I strongly encourage you to book a separate videographer as it is and entirely different craft. I am happy to recommend some that I work closely with!

How long will it take before we receive our image gallery?

It really depends on the time of year you are getting married and how many other events I am managing at the time. During a busy season it can take 2-3 months to receive your gallery although I do offer a rush upgrade that can be added to your photography package if you’re dying to get your hands on your images ASAP. I’ve been known to get them out in as quick as 4-6 weeks during a slower season.

How many images will we receive?

There are many factors that go into the amount of images you receive, a few being being how many hours you contract me for, if you hire a second photographer, the amount of down or travel time you have throughout your wedding day and the size of your wedding. I would say a safe average is about 125 images per hour for most weddings. I include everything that turns out well and you will not have to make selections once you receive your gallery. Everything you see in your gallery will be included in your photography package.

Stop what you're doing & hire Brittany!

We don't know each other but I assure you, dear reader, that you will not regret hiring Brittany as your photographer! She is amazing! I could gush forever but for your peace of mind, let me provide some concrete specifics:
Before the wedding --
*Communication: Responses were quick, kind, and thorough! Brittany offered her expertise when I asked (roughly 9238374398) questions but was always very clear that it was ultimately our wedding and she would do what we asked of her.
*Prices: I got a ton of quotes from very talented photographers and Brittany was well within the normal range of cost - wedding photography is an investment and I strongly encourage anyone to budget well for this, it is worth it with Brittany! Seeing all the photos was like being right back in the middle of the day.
*General presence: We got married about 5 hours from home so we didn't get a chance to meet Brittany face to face until the night before the wedding. She was so friendly and easy to chat with while also not being a domineering or overpowering presence. I am generally a very anxious person and Brittany put me totally at ease with everything related to photography. She was confident in her skills (rightfully so) and I immediately trusted her to make the right calls to get the best photos. In fact, I turned it all over to her - aside from a few small requests (like keeping my daughter in as many photos as possible) I deferred to her on decisions, locations, poses, timing, all of it. And I have absolutely no regrets.

The wedding --
I just tried to remember seeing Brittany at the wedding other than during the very specific posed photos (i.e. getting ready, the wedding party together, our first look, a few family groups) and I honestly can't remember. She was thorough but discreet. I know she was there, I have the pictures of so many people and times throughout the whole event, but she never felt intrusive or disruptive to the flow of the day.

The photos --
Brittany got us a *very* generous sneak peek within a few days of the wedding (seriously, like less than a week after) and I cried and cried at how gorgeous they were. Everything we wanted and more. I actually kept a tab open on my computer permanently and looked through at least a few every day because I loved them so much. We got our full gallery yesterday, also in a very reasonable amount of time, and we are floored. I've looked through the whole gallery at least 3 times and every time I find another that stands out. They are INCREDIBLE. Brittany has a gorgeous portfolio on her website and she stayed so true to that in our photos (which is obviously what you want!). My husband had to tell me that wallpapering our whole house in our wedding photos was not a realistic goal... but I can't wait to get so many of them printed. It truly felt like we were transported back to the day and able to relive it. It went by way too fast the first time so I am forever grateful to have so many genuine moments captured.

Alllllllll of that to say, hire Brittany! If you're still not convinced, check out her website and her Instagram :) while I'm not planning on another wedding, I'd love to hire Brittany again if we end up back on the Central Coast in need of family photos.

Brittany, we can not thank you enough. Thank you for being such an important part of our day and capturing so many beautiful moments :)

INCREDIBLE Photographer, Artist, and Person

Brittany is an UNBELIEVABLY talented photographer. It was an incredible gift to be able to relax on my wedding day and fully trust that Brittany would capture everything. Our venue was at a private residence rather than a traditional wedding venue so, naturally, Brittany had never been there before yet, in an instant, she scoped out all the best spots to shoot, both indoors and outdoors, and she single-handedly captured the entire day after our second shooter called out sick. Our photos are STUNNING. She is a true artist. Had I been offered the choice of any photographer in the world, I still would've chosen Brittany. I think it might be impossible for anyone to not love her work. As a bonus, she is an absolute gem of a human being and someone you just want to be around. Thank you, Brittany, it was an honor to have you capture our wedding.

My Day Portrayed Perfectly Through Her Lens

Brittany was such a wonderful presence and a true professional. At one moment, when I was feeling particularly rushed, she was able to take me aside for a photo session and remind me that we had plenty of time for that moment. She was right, and by saying that, it reminded me to relax and enjoy that moment. My oldest teen son appreciated her guidance on how to look natural in photos. It was a beautiful and happy day, and Brittany was able to capture all of the best moments. Thanks to her, we'll be able to look back at our day through her lens and relive the joy forever.

Thank you Brittany!

We hired Brittany for our wedding and are so very glad we did! We booked a package that also included an engagement shoot which was fantastic too. Brittany was super easy going and made us feel totally comfortable, which was great since this was our first time taking real pictures. At the wedding itself Brittany was everywhere, she captured every big moment from all angles, even made sure to get shots of our dog 😉 Our engagement shoot was at the beach and wedding was at a winery, and Brittany captured the natural beauty of each space perfectly. While being easy-going we also really appreciated how she kept it moving and made sure we didn’t fall behind our schedule while hitting all the picture combinations we wanted. We are so beyond happy with how all the pictures turned out, thank you Brittany for capturing our big day! We’ll cherish these photos forever 😊

Brittany was wonderful!

Working with Brittany was absolutely wonderful. I felt like she really got to know us as people before the wedding, and she was open to all of our wacky ideas. We wanted a photographer who could capture the day in an authentic way, and she nailed it. She really managed to capture the essence of our wedding, and we've been loving sharing the photos with friends and family. Brittany also was super quick to turn around photos - we had a sneak peak within a few days of the wedding. I highly recommend working with Brittany!

The WHOLE package

I cannot recommend Brittany enough. She’s my now go to photographer. I can’t imagine anyone else capturing our important moments. She was the calm in our chaos on our wedding day, she caught every moment I didn’t know I needed along with specific moments I asked for. Her photos are beautiful, light, and allow me to relive our day over and over again. She is so responsive I never had to question what the plan was and what the vision was. She helped us pose and had just the most perfect eye for our photos. I would hire her every time. She will now be my go to for family photos, and any other photos that are needed for years to come! Fair pricing, great communication, the entire package! Thank you so much again Brittany! You’re the best!

11/10...amazing experience before, during, after. Couldn't be happier with our photos.

We hired Brittany Taylor Photography months before our wedding and began the conversation with Brittany herself who was so kind and communicative from day 1. She heard out our vision, answered all of our questions, and made us feel so comfortable. From the start we knew she was not available for our wedding day but we had full confidence that whoever the photographer we got assigned with would be the perfect extension of Brittany.

We were SO lucky to work with Claire who kicked us off with an amazing engagement shoot. She put in so much thought and effort into scouting a location and shooting with her felt like doing a fun art project with an old friend. We were so happy with our engagement photos, they turned out so beautifully and were delivered professionally and right on time.

The week of our wedding there was a wildfire a few miles from the venue and it was somewhat touch and go. Brittany was hugely empathetic to our situation and was so kind during the stress of it all. Luckily the wedding went as planned. Claire did an amazing job of directing our crazy family, was efficient and captured all the group shots we wanted. She truly added so much value to our special day as a person and as a talented photographer.

The photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Claire had a great eye for leveraging the scenery of our venue and finding the most magical shots. Major kudos to Claire and Brittany for making us feel beautiful and for capturing the essence of our day. Love how it's packaged nicely in an online gallery as well.

THANK YOU X A MILLION!!!

Incredible Photography

Brittany is an incredibly talented photographer. From engagement pictures, to groom's gift, to wedding day, she captured every moment beautifully. The way she works lighting, capturing the small moments in between and really getting to know the couple is unmatched. On the actual wedding day, she had an amazing calm energy and was organized and we love all of our photos so much. She captured our wedding year & she's now our photographer for all big life events moving forward!

Absolutely the Best!

Brittany was absolutely amazing for us! We are both not very well versed in posing and she gave us the directions to make our photos turn out much better than I expected! She also got our photos back to us incredibly fast and to perfection. I wouldn't have changed anything about her angles, style, or editing. She was also just an incredibly good human, easy to talk to and fun to be around for the big day. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. If I lived in CA I would be recommending her for anything and everything!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
