Let me start by saying that my husband and I LOVE our photos!!! We were nervous about how to pose and she guided us every step of the way. She is super professional, kind, and worth every cent. These are memories that will last for generations; you need a grade A photographer like her at your wedding. Her photos are in a league of their own.

Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot

We have photographed weddings for over 10 years, and we still love every father daughter dance, bride's bouquet, and silly best man's toast. We understand that the photographs we take at your wedding will be treasured heirlooms for your family. It is a task we take very seriously and consider it a joy to be involved in such a sweet moment in our clients' lives. Which is why weddings are our absolute favorite. Documenting two people in love on the biggest day of their life is such an emotional high. Creating artwork that matches those emotions is our passion. We are based in Las Cruces, New Mexico but have team members living and serving in El Paso Texas, Albuquerque New Mexico, and Lubbock Texas. We love a good destination wedding too--and have photograhed weddings and elopements in Marfa Texas, White Sands National Park, Cloudcroft NM, Ruidoso NM....even as far as San Diego CA and Washington DC!

Elise Taylor

Owner

While attending NMSU (Go Aggies!) for a photography degree, a friend asked me to photograph her wedding. At that first wedding I fell in love with wedding photography. Wedding photography has enabled my artistic expression to flourish while simultaneously documenting meaningful moments for my clients. I often make the joke that I’ve attended weddings my whole adult life. Now I have a team of talented photographers & videographers as my plus one. When I'm not saving the world’s memories, I'm creating my own with three adventurous daughters, handsome husband & best dog in the world, Peppa the Pug.

Lauren W

Elise was so easy to communicate and work with from the get go. She was very prepared for our consultation phone-call and had an estimate to me while we were talking! She is no non...

sense, efficient, as well as patient and understanding. I didn’t have a lot of specific poses or inspiration to provide to her but she captured my big days highlights so beautifully. I was actually getting sad that I couldn’t remember my day as clearly as I expected to be able to because the day was just such a blur! Brides and Grooms will understand! But Elise’s pictures brought back to life, in vivid color, so many of my emotions and recollections of the day that without documentation might very well have faded to the ether due to the speed and intensity of everyday life post wedding. Take it from me, Elise is excellent and I highly recommend her! I hope you can savor your special occasions with Elise’s gift for photography!

Elise is a pleasure to work with, very professional and a great conductor. She did a great job photographing our wedding and bridal photo shoot!!

They made our day and the memories we get to keep so special. Every detail was captured - not just all of the photographs of us, our family, the bride and groom party, and dancing; But even down to the small details like table settings and flowers and all the little things. We and our family watch the video from our special day regularly!! Thank you Taylor’d!!

I wasn't sure what sort of luck we would have looking for a wedding photographer with less than 6 months before our big day, but we're very glad that Livingston Bridal and Events had put us in contact with Taylor'd. We love our engagement and wedding photos and the professionalism of this company and have already recommended them to friends!

Emma B

Elise is the best honestly. We planned our wedding only 5 months after our engagement and didn't start looking for photographers until a few months out. She was available on our da...

te and we were super happy because she was our top-pick. She was very accommodating of our schedules through the whole process. Sometimes she met with us during off hours for consultations, she was willing to meet at a different time for the wedding at the last minute, she was aware of and helped us work with our budget, etc etc. The pictures and video that we received were honestly even better than we had hoped for and were delivered right on time. The only thing I wish is that she had done a little bit more with positioning everyone because there were a few pictures that were a bit unbalanced (e.g. more people on one side than the other). But really if I had to do the whole thing again then I wouldn't hesitate to use her and her associates again.

Taylor'd photography was amazing. We worked with Jasmine the photographer and Daniel the videographer. Jasmine did an excellent job of covering the event. Specifically with the bri...

de and groom portraits we had plenty of different poses an angles to choose from. My only mild complaints are that we filled out a form with people we wanted specific pictures and sadly, this form was not given to the staff. Also, the video of our wedding came in one giant video and I had to use a screen capture software to grab a specific parts of the video such as our first dance. Other than that, the quality was top notch and no regrets having chosen Taylor'd. The summary video was exceptionally cute!

Elise is an amazing photographer and we couldn't be happier with the memories that she captured for us. She is prompt, professional, and patient. She even asked me--the groom--what...

I thought she needed to capture. My response was, "Candids. I would love to have pictures of our friends and family." Well, she didn't disappoint, and she was nearly invisible in doing so. With the exception of the cake cutting--wherein she made sure the staging was just right for the pictures--I never even noticed her hovering about and yet she took the most amazing candids. She really knows how to give you what you ask for!

She was so friendly and helpful with posing (for someone who needs to be told where to put there hands in every photo lol) and she made the whole day feel less stressful because I knew I didn't have to worry about have excellent photos. If you're looking for a very friendly, very talented, and very affordable photographer, I highly recommend you give her a call!

Just a tip: Think of EVERY picture you want and tell them so they can make it happen. We love our pictures so much and she has continued to work with us to make sure that we got them after everything was said and done. I mean she has gone above and beyond for us. Always available with our constant emails and tech problems. We are so grateful for her and all she did to make our wedding so so special and capture all of the moments to remember forever. If you choose them, you will be very satisfied. She came to Texas all the way from New Mexico and she was oh so worth it!!!

Elise to everyone for any kind of photos needing to be taken. She travels (Palo Duro for us) and takes everything at perfect angles and lighting. Next time we need our photos done we will be going back to her. She was so kind and professional! Good pricing especially for how amazing the photos turned out. Can’t thank you enough!!!

Searching for a wedding photographer was one of the more stressful parts of planning our wedding. My wife and I were doing a destination wedding and had to do our planning from a ...

distance. We came across Taylor'd photography through various searches and really enjoyed her work. We are so happy we chose her! Elise took the time to get on a call with us to walk through all of the details of our big day and helped us establish a timeline that would give us the most for bang for our buck. When it came time for the big day, Elise was on top of it. Our pictures came out amazing and she captured all of the moments we wanted. She understood the chaos that comes with a wedding day and while capturing great candid photos of our guests, she was always attentive to where my wife and I were so she could get photos we wanted with family members. I would certainly recommend Taylor'd Photography to anyone!
