So. What Exactly is an Intimate Wedding?!
It's all about keeping it personal
An intimate wedding is all about keeping things personal and meaningful! It’s a smaller celebration with just your closest people, or even just the two of you! It truly makes it feel extra special! Even the location of your intimate wedding can be adventurous and unique, far beyond a traditional wedding venue! Couples go to places like Joshua Tree National Park, Yosemite National Park, or even San Diego beaches!
Without the big crowds and formalities, you can truly soak in the moment and focus on what really matters—your love and connection. Plus, you get to add all the personal touches that reflect who you are as a couple. It’s a relaxed, fun vibe where you can just enjoy the day without all the stress!

southern california intimate wedding photographer.
Hey, I'm Taylor!
meet your
I'm a Southern California-based photographer with a love for intimate weddings and the stunning landscapes that surround them—from San Diego’s beaches to Yosemite and Joshua Tree. I planned my own intimate elopement, so I know firsthand how powerful it is to choose a day that truly reflects your relationship. Seven years into photographing love stories, I believe deeply in intentional celebrations and capturing not just how it looked, but exactly how it felt.
I wouldn’t be where I am today or have the people in my life if it weren’t for Jesus’ love and guidance
I LOVE Disney movies and parks! I love the classics and Disney/Pixar movies like Inside Out, Luca, Onward (I also cry like a baby in those movies lol). I have been to DLR, WDW, and TDR
The Office is my FAVORITE show to ever exist
I am a BIG dog person. If I wasn't a photographer... I'd be a dog trainer lol

one of the easiest decisions we made!
WHERE DO I EVEN START!? Choosing Taylor was one of the easiest wedding related decisions we made. She was supportive, inquisitive about our preferences, invested in our vision and happiness during our wedding, she was SO FUN, and she was incredibly professional. Beyond her talent and incredible editing, Taylor’s presence at our wedding and during our engagement session made us feel 1000% comfortable, encouraged us to enjoy ourselves, and she completely fit the vibe check amongst our friends and family! Don’t hesitate to hire her, I promise you won’t regret it

let's get planning
I’m here to help you feel totally at ease in front of the camera—no stiff poses, no awkward “what do I do with my hands” moments. Just you being your wonderful, goofy, lovely self. I’ll guide you with light direction (think: “whisper your favorite snack in their ear”), then melt into the background—watching for the real stuff: the little laughs, soft glances, and beautiful chaos. That’s how we capture moments that feel effortless, unfiltered, and truly you.
