“Taylor is an absolute delight to work with! She took engagement photos of my now-wife and I in May of 2023, and they are some of our all-time favorite photos. Taylor is very easygoing, and did a great job of both allowing us to feel very comfortable & natural during the shoot.”
— Austin & Caroline
The experience.
Step One:
You inquire with me to see if we’re the right fit. It gives me the details I need to get to know you before we even meet.
There’s no such thing as a love story photographer who doesn’t know their couples really, really well.
Step Two:
Once we decide to move forward, you book your spot with me to schedule your Narrative Consultation session. We walk through your foundational story, your creative inspiration, etc.
By the end of it, we’ll have crafted a timeless and true narrative together for a story that speaks to you.
Step Three:
Your special day arrives.
Whether it’s your home, a spot that lights your souls on fire, an AirBNB, or any other small and private setting that frames your love story, elopement, or intimate wedding—we’ll create something beautiful together.
By the end of it, you’ll have a curated and creative narrative you’ll fall in love with over and over again.
Think of it as a balance between documentarian and creative direction.
This intersection will bring your soul through the images, just by letting your true self unravel.
Step Four:
I get to work on editing. You’ll have your online gallery of 50+ fully retouched photographs within 3-4 weeks.
On top of that, you’ll receive a custom-written storybook of your love story, which includes a personalized narrative manifesto, and a hand-selected collection of 15-20 images.
My promise to you:
I will never make you look or feel like something you’re not.
Your story will be honestly reflected through a vision that values the raw, the real, the cinematic, and the unconventional.
For me, there is no other point in creating photography with other humans than to help them get in touch with their deeper selves—from how you met your partner, to how your dreams influence each other, to the way you communicate in a song only you understand.
“Taylor is absolutely phenomenal to work with! I did an engagement photo session with her and had a fantastic experience. During the days/weeks leading up to the session, she made sure to check in with me to ensure that she could achieve what we had envisioned for the shoot. She made sure that we felt comfortable and made it an overall fun experience for my fiancé and me. I've worked with other photographers in the past who took weeks/months to deliver the photos. However, Taylor worked her magic and was able to send me the finished gallery in a matter of days! I am so happy with the way they turned out and cannot recommend her enough!”

Hey, I’m Taylor—your elopement photographer & writer.
In 2024, I quit wedding photography after six months. I was burnt out, depressed, and going through a desperate family crisis that made me question everything.
I’m returning to the industry to carve something entirely new for eloping couples:
An experience that combines the art of photography with the narrative power of writing to transform your most sacred moments into memories.
I love and obsess over many facets of human storytelling, from the beautiful artistry of cinema, to the meticulous exploration of sculpture, to the emotional impact of literature.
While others are drawn to mountain vistas, I’m drawn to the quiet moments only you and your partner share.
The small corner of your living room while the television flickers on and off with your favorite film. The playful photographs you took of each other in more innocent times. The stacks of books lining your shelves. The way you look at each other that doesn’t need an audience to validate its natural, untouchable beauty.
Your story is the canvas.
Your relationship, the paint.
I’m only here to help you translate what’s honest and true to you, through visual and written documentation.
I’m so, so excited you’re here.
“Taylor did such a great job at taking our elopement pictures and we had such a fun time working with her. She has a very creative vision and it was super easy to work with her. She made us feel so comfortable which definitely showed through the photos. I highly recommend her as a photographer. Look at how great the photos turned out!”

Your questions, answered.
-
I serve the state of Washington, but I personally favor locations that are meaningful, intimate, and small-scale.
Places like the neighboring islands (Whidbey Island, Port Townsend, etc.), Woodinville, Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, and cities adjacent to Seattle.
-
While every experience is custom, you can expect to invest between $1,800 for $4,500 for elopements and intimate weddings.
Whether you’re escaping into a private AirBNB to elope from morning till night, or want nothing more than to document your relationship in a quiet morning in your home, you deserve an experience designed around you.
Once I receive your inquiry, we’ll hop on a call together, and I’ll guide you through which collection aligns with your love story.
There’s no generic price guide, here. No one-size-fits-all.
You don’t belong in a box, and I intend to remind you of that during our entire relationship.

Here’s what you can expect at the very least if you’re eloping, committing to an intimate wedding:
45-minute pre-session Narrative Consultation to discover, design and curate your romantic storyline
4 hours of intentional photography at one or two locations of your choosing (your home, local places that matter to you, etc.)
A private online gallery of 50+ fully edited & beautifully curated high-res and low-res photographs
A beautifully designed storybook of your love narrative, featuring 15+ of your favorite images with an artful manifesto I custom-write for you
Ability to add on fine art prints, albums, individual prints, more hours to photograph, etc.—but certainly not required
-
Not at all.
My goal was to craft a unique love story photography experience for any couple who feels that fire in their blood—to celebrate on their terms.
These sessions are tailored for elopements, honeymoons, engagements, and even a gift for your partner.
I don’t photograph large weddings (anything larger than 10-15-ish people) for these reasons.
They’re beautiful celebrations, but simply not for me.
-
Look, there are countless elopement photographers who are outstanding with their craft. You can find a dozen of them in the Seattle area alone.
But, that’s not what I’m about—and you probably shouldn’t hire me if you’re just looking for another just any elopement, wedding, or couples photographer.
I believe deeply in capturing images that are so timeless, so ridiculously honest, that they resemble your love story snapped in time.
In intimate places with memories you’ve crafted together.
They’re not about the commercial highs and lows of a traditional wedding.
I encourage my couples to see their elopement as their escape.
A way for them to tell their love story that no one else can touch. A method so different and unique to them that it can’t be replicated.
To me, your relationship doesn't need a dramatic backdrop. It needs authentic documentation in the spaces where you actually exist together.
Plus, this is the only elopement experience you’ll find that combines the art of photography with intentional written storytelling.
I’m a writer first, and photographer second—and I believe this serves the right couples the way they deserve.
And yeah, if you’re still reading… that might be you, too.
That is the difference.
-
I’m a very minimal photographer.
I use one digital camera, one point-and-shoot film camera, and a lovely polaroid companion—and if you can tell on my site, nothing gets me more excited than an intentional black and white image.
(Although I photograph in plenty of cinematic, natural tones)
I value the imperfect, the messy, and the beautifully directed living in harmony together.
I believe the marriage of both film and digital photography can elevate any ceremony to something truly special.
