Kind Words

Words can't begin to express how grateful we are to have found Taylor & Madye. They are both professional and yet a lot of fun and made taking pictures feel like hanging out with a couple of friends instead of posing in random places around the city. They drove up to Seattle for our engagement shoot, and from then on, we knew we could trust their vision. They are so talented they can find any corner or sliver of light and turn it into the most stunning picture. Not only that, they are both the friendliest and easiest photographers to work with - on a 90 degree day, Taylor was cognizant of my husband's overheating in the sun and Madye assisted with carrying my 20 pound dress around. After the photography time was over, they were able to party and dance with us at our wedding - which made our celebration that much more special. The next day, they provided us with several sneak peeks, which was the greatest surprise. We loved spending every minute with them and all of the pictures, both posed and candid, are absolutely stunning. We are so lucky to have had them as our photographers and excited to have new friends as well.

Taylor & Madye were an absolute joy to work with! From our very first meeting, I was drawn to their quirkiness, passion for photography, and unique approach to lighting in their photos (which was perfect for our venue with beautiful natural lighting!) Throughout the weeks leading up to the wedding, they were very active in the planning process in terms of our day-off itinerary. In doing so, they provided us with their professional opinion with our timeline which allowed us to relax and not feel rushed.

On the day of our wedding, Madye posed as a quasi 8th bridesmaid for me, helped me with loading the car, and even drove me to the venue, so that the rest of my bridal party didn’t have to take an extra Uber. This was definitely more than I asked for in a photographer! Even though this was our first time photographing with them (as we opted out of an engagement shoot since we’re from out of state), we completely felt like ourselves while shooting with them. My guests were also raving about how wonderful they were!!

Fast forward to just a week after our wedding day, Taylor and Madye already shared with us 40+ previews. And then 3 weeks later, we got our full gallery of photos!! How these two captured my stoic Asian dad to smile is BEYOND me but we are sooo happy we went with them and we would choose them again for our wedding day in a heartbeat!!!

Taylor and Madye are PHENOMENAL. Seriously. Hire them. In the sea of photographers out there, one of the most overwhelming parts of wedding planning was trying to find one. From the very beginning, they offered an expertise that helped so much of the wedding day run smoothly. These guys have been working in weddings for years and years... they know what works and what doesn't! Not only that, but they were extremely fun and easygoing to work with. All of our friends, family, wedding party & even guests were mentioning to us after how awesome our photographers were. They are personable, make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and they were even out on the dance floor for hours breaking it down with us while capturing some hilarious moments. And did I mention that Taylor did all of this with a fractured foot? Amazing!!

But let's talk about their artistry: There's something about the authenticity of their work that just stands out. What I loved the most was how they don't just take a bunch of perfectly posed photos, they capture the real moments with such professional quality, and yet such a carefree & personal beauty. As we were looking through our photos, we were amazed at not only how much they were able to capture... but how perfectly. There genuinely wasn't a single photo (out of about 1,000!) that we didn't LOVE. It felt like we stepped back into the day and were reliving it again... which is exactly how wedding photos should be! And, we got our photos back within 6 weeks in an awesome presentation.

Genuinely couldn't be happier, we love these guys!
