People Saying nice stuff!
“It was clear immediately when we met these two that they were going to be our first choice for photographers at our wedding, and we are thrilled we made that call. They are a pair of highly-skilled photographers with wildly different, but complimentary, shooting styles. Are you looking for exquisitely-composed, cinematic shots that render the ordinary epic but your partner prefers (somehow also) exquisitely composed candid shots that capture the timeless magic of stolen moments? Great! You can have both. But beyond that, Taylor and Madye are FUN! They put everyone at ease, which allows them to capture great shots of even the most camera-shy of your guests. Over and over, in the weeks following our wedding, we heard from our friends and family how much they enjoyed our photographers, and I’m not at all surprised. It’s clear they have passion for their work and get a lot out of it, and that joy is infectious. They shot our engagement photos, too, and created a beautiful album out of those pictures. Bottom line: Hiring Taylor & Madye is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made, and we can’t wait until we have need to hire them again.”
“Taylor & Madye were the most amazing wedding Videographers! They provided a wonderful complete video of the ceremony as well as a highlight video. The ceremony video managed to get intimate close range as well as long shots of the ceremony, so you can see the action from multiple vantage points, and the sound was so impeccable that you could clearly hear all the vows. The highlight video is so authentic to our day and the perfect mix of getting ready, ceremony, dinner&toasts, reception. Both videos had a wonderful intimate home-video feeling, but with all the desired professional artistic flare! Taylor & Madye also befriended all our guests, they added so much positivity and fun to our day. I couldn’t imagine better wedding videos, so grateful for Taylor & Madye’s incredible talents!”
“Wow where to begin.. 🙂 We instantly felt connected to Taylor+ Madye fromthe moment we met them. I loved the idea of a husband and wife duo and you can feel their love for each other and their work which takes away any awkwardnessof being photographed. The day of the wedding they were super on it and professional with capturingthe moments. In every little moment of the day when I would talk to Madye or Taylor I instantly felt calm and happy (they know all the right things to say in the right moments) which is important because there is alot going on! Then to top it off the photos they took were completely beyond what we were expecting! Actually several family members (not just our parents) said they were the best wedding photosthey had ever seen. I seriously can’trecommend them enough!!”
When I was researching photographers for our wedding, I knew the minute I landed on Taylor + Madye’s website that they were who I wanted to photograph our wedding. There was something about their style – their pics didn’t look like everyone else’s – it was as if they really knew and understood their subjects and were able to capture the essence of each person, to truly highlight their unique personalities.
And that was exactly what they did for us! We could not be more delighted with their work and how they were able to photograph intangible things like mood, charm, love, and authenticity. They do beautiful work with light and color, it’s truly stunning.
But you don’t need to take my word for it – our wedding was featured in the New York Times and when I sent The Times about a dozen pictures to choose from to use with our article, they mentioned how wonderful the pics were and that it was hard decide (they printed three!). Now THAT’s an endorsement!
THIS COUPLE IS THE BEST!!!!! My husband and I just finished viewing our online album and HOLY S***!!!! WE’RE ECSTATIC!!!! The pictures are freaking amazing!! This entire experience, start to finish has been so awesome. For starters, we had our first meet and greet over FaceTime while they were in Vietnam, and from that point I loved them. They checked in with me on a regular and made sure all of my questions were answered, and when it came down to the wedding day.. I felt like i had a couple of awesome funky super fun friends taking our photos. They made the whole experience so comfortable and kept my hubby and I laughing all night. This couple works so incredibly well together… Madye is freaking adorable, and gets right into the action and got so many fantastic photos, that girl knew exactly where to be at all the right times and her hubby Taylor is so TALENTED!! He had so many ideas and got super creative with some of the photos which all turned out stunning! We couldn’t be happier with our choice for wedding photographers!! Thank you so much for sharing our perfect day with us. You two are perfect!!!!
