Taylored Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

Hi, my name is Laura Taylor. I live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and I have to say, I think it's the best place in the world to live! Although I have studio lighting that I can take on location I consider myself a natural light photographer. I believe natural lighting gives your images a more real and warm feeling. I mostly photograph weddings, portraits and babies but I love all genres of photography and I'm always up for anything.

I have an amazing partner, Kevin, who supports me, all my crazy ideas and puts up with my ridiculously busy schedule. Together we have a beautiful daughter Paige. I'm sure you'll see her in many posts! And I can't forget about our dog Jessie or "woof woof" as Paige calls her, who is very much a part of our family.

I think I have the best circle of friends ever, who never stop praising me and my photography. It was my friends and families support that got me to follow my passion for photography. I can't say enough about any of them. Big Thanks to all of you! You know who you are. 

Aside from photography I love spending time with my family, reading, watching movies and hanging out with my friends. I'm also addicted to chocolate and starbucks.....although I don't actually like coffee! But I do love a good Chai.

I'm not sure where the future is going to take me but I do know that it will always include photography.

Thanks so much for checking out my Blog! I love hearing from people so feel free to drop me a line.

Marcia & Andrew Wedding {Shawnigan Lake Wedding Photography}

I’m sure you will remember these two from their engagement shoot, if not you can check it out here. Marica & Andrew’s wedding was held at Shawnigan Lake School, which is a private school on about 300 acres of land. The grounds are amazing and made for a beautiful backdrop for a wedding. Unfortunately they spend all summer getting ready for the new year so they don’t allow weddings there unless you are an alumni or in some way affiliated with the school.

I had gone up the night before the wedding to check out the grounds during their rehearsal. Everyone was busy getting the final touches done in the reception room and the very cute Marcia was sporting a baby bump. I noticed right away but don’t like to ask people, so you can imagine my excitement for them when she told me the morning of the wedding that she is indeed pregnant! I couldn’t be happier for these two. Not only are they getting married but they are expanding their family as well. Marcia already has a 12 year old son Desmond, and he actually walked Marica down the isle which was so cute! Andrew has been going to school for the past few years in I believe, Prince George to get a nursing degree so they have had to endure a long distance relationship as well as plan a wedding.

It was a great wedding with a fantastic wedding party that toured the grounds in a bus with us.  Thanks everyone for putting up with the heat and all the getting on and off the bus. You guys rock!!! The reception was also held at the school in a big hall that they have there. During the reception Marcia’s son Desmond, who I don’t believe was schedualed to speak got up and gave this beautiful speach to his mom and his new stepdad Andrew. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house including my own. I hid behind my camera for a little while after that! I don’t think most 12 year old boys would get up in front of all those people and give a speach  so I think it was really sweet of him to do that for his mom.
