THE EXPERIENCE
An Elevated Photography Experience In It's Entirety
From the initial booking process, all the way through to gallery delivery post-event, Taylor is all about the client experience. Each part of her process is professional, refined, consistent, intentional & fully curated to the each client for a personalized elevated experience.
The following information deep dives into Taylor's process & what you too, can expect to experience.
MULTI-MEDIUM PHOTOGRAPHY
Digital & Film Portraiture
Taylor Stuck has been specializing in digital photography since 2013. Each year, refining her process & digital camera technical skillset, & later integrated film photography into her work in 2021. There are benefits to both mediums & every clients deserves to experience seeing their wedding documented through multiple formats. On wedding days, Taylor strategically maneuvers between a full-frame professional grade digital camera with a series of lenses, in conjunction with a variety of 35mm & 120mm film camera bodies to deliver her clients a diverse contemporary & paradigmatic photo gallery.

THE PHILOSOPHY
A Relationship Focused Collaboration
When it comes to photography, Taylor is a firm believer of many things. Throughout her twelve years of first-hand experience of working with people, she adopted a philosophy that the photographic experience has to be collaborative between the photographer & the clients being the subjects. In order to achieve that style of imagery, Taylor prioritizes her relationship with her couples to establish her clients comfortability & confidence with her, that later translates in front of the camera.

THE APPROACH
A Hybrid-Documentary Experience
By definition, "documentary photography includes a hands-off approach where no direction, guidance, or communication is provided by the photographer; thus resulting in authentic, characteristic, candid, natural imagery."
While us humans document our daily lives through our mobile devices, most of us don't actually possess professional camera experience with a professional photographer. Being in front of the camera is an especially vulnerable act which is all the more reason as to why Taylor so strongly feels as though it's vital that clients feel supported & guided through communication from the photographer navigating them through the entirety of the experience. Furthermore, it's an unrealistic expectation of the photographer to assume clients to be confident & comfortable posing, directing, & prompting themselves.
Instead, Taylor has found much more success in providing a hybrid documentary photography experience where she is directive & supportive in her approach, & provides guidance when necessary. All in conjunction with a hands-off documentary approach that includes observing, existing, & documenting from a distance.
