Taylor Rae Photography A joyful photographer for the joy-filled couple. Inquiries: [email protected] Hey there! I’m Taylor, and I'm really happy you're here. Why?

Having been a bride myself, I can honestly and unbiasedly say that my photos were the most important (vendor-related) part of my wedding day. Because although my wedding day is over, my beautiful photographs hang on my wall to remind me of what a special day it was! It brings me so much joy to photograph people, especially on their wedding day! I love to know my couples. Like, really know them. I

want to walk in on your wedding day and give you a big giddy hug, and let's be honest, I'll probably squeal just as loud as your bridesmaids when I see you in your dress for the first time. That's why I love meeting couples beforehand, whether for a coffee/wine date or for an engagement session. Photography is more than just images to me, it's about the relationship. When I really know you, I can take photos that really feel like you. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you deserve a great photographic experience. I'm passionate about wedding photography not just for arts sake, but because I want to provide each and every one of my couples with images they will cherish for the rest of their lives. I still get nervous butterflies before each wedding, and I've always told myself that the first time those butterflies don't show up before a wedding day, that's when I'll know to call it quits. I'm walking in to document one of the biggest days of your life, and I take that so seriously! I can't wait to connect with you two, and hear all about the day you're envisioning. I would love to get to know you as well! Feel free to email me at [email protected] with your Name, Email, Phone Number, Date of Event, Location of Event, and any questions or comments!

How to prepare kids for a photoshoot 🤍

The best family photos don’t come from perfectly posed moments. They come from connection, play, and simply letting your kids be themselves.

No pressure for perfect smiles. No stress if they want to run, cuddle, laugh, or explore.

If you’re thinking about a family session and want an experience that feels easy, natural, and full of genuine connection, I would love to photograph your family.
Reach out anytime to inquire, and I’ll guide you through every step while creating something meaningful for your season of life. ✨

There’s something so special about holding your memories in your hands instead of swiping past them on a screen.

The weight of an album.
The texture of printed pages.
Seeing your children’s faces framed on your walls every single day.

That experience feels entirely different than scrolling through a camera roll on your phone.

When I create heirloom albums and artwork for my clients, I’m thinking beyond just “pretty photos.” I’m thinking about the future version of you who will miss these little moments someday. The tiny curls. The missing teeth. The way your baby reached for your hand.

These seasons pass so quickly, and your memories deserve more than temporary storage on a computer.

I want to help you actually live with your photographs. To see them, hold them, and revisit them whenever you want without needing to dig through files or hard drives. That’s the beauty of printed memories. They become part of your everyday life. 🤍

From the quiet stillness of a sleeping newborn… 🤍

(SWIPE to the next photo 😂)

…to the beautiful, sweet chaos that comes with a toddler too.

And honestly? That’s the magic of this season of life. One moment is soft and peaceful, and the next is full of movement, giggles, snacks, big sibling energy, and tiny little interruptions every five seconds.

These are the moments you’ll laugh about someday. The beautifully imperfect in-between moments that make your family yours.

You don’t need perfectly posed children or total calm for meaningful photographs. I want to document the real connection. The cuddles, the chaos, the tenderness, and everything in between. Because every stage deserves to be remembered exactly as it felt. ✨

Signs you found the right photographer 🤍

You don’t feel pressure to perform, pose perfectly, or be someone you’re not.

Instead, you feel relaxed, seen, and completely comfortable being yourself.... because that comfort shows up in every image.

The right photographer guides you through every step so you never feel lost or unsure, creating an experience that feels natural and personal from start to finish.

Because you’re not just another booking. You deserve photos that feel like you.

Save this if you’re looking for an experience that feels guided, genuine, and stress-free ✨

There’s something about beach sessions that already feels nostalgic while it’s happening. 🤍 Barefoot walks through the sand, salty air, wind-tangled hair, and your children simply being themselves. These are the little moments that feel ordinary now but someday become the moments you miss the most.

Your memories deserve more than sitting in a camera roll. They deserve to be held, displayed, and revisited for years to come.

Some moments in life happen once and never the exact same way again. 🤍

Photographing Will & Alyssa’s proposal was a reminder of just how beautiful those moments can be. The anticipation, the nerves, the excitement, and then the instant everything changed with one “yes.” There’s something so special about preserving not only what a proposal looked like, but what it felt like.

The laughter right after. The way they held each other differently. The beginning of an entirely new chapter.

Their full proposal story is now live on the blog! Head to the link in my bio to read more, and if you’re planning a proposal and want help creating and documenting a meaningful experience, I’d love to connect with you 🤍

There are very few moments in life that happen only once.

A proposal is one of them.

It’s the start of something entirely new…the moment your relationship shifts from what has been into everything that’s about to come. As a Charleston proposal photographer, I often tell clients that while the proposal itself may last only a minute or two, the photographs become something you’ll return to for the rest of your lives.

I loved walking through all of the proposal details with Ben. He knew that he wanted a natural backdrop, and thought the marsh might be nice. I showed him this location, and he was sold right away. Together, we made a plan for where I would be hiding out, where he would take Megan, and the exact spot for him to drop down on one knee and ask her to marry him.

As we were wrapping up the session, Ben told me, “I was stressing out SO much about this proposal. But as soon as I found you, everything was smooth sailing from that point on.” ❤️

Your body has done something extraordinary; carrying, growing, and sustaining life in ways that change you forever.

So many women find themselves in a season of disconnect after motherhood, feeling like they need to “get back” to who they were before. But there is nothing to go back to… only forward.

This version of you... the one shaped by love, strength, and softness is already worthy of being seen and celebrated.

As a Charleston bo***ir photographer, I create space for you to slow down, reconnect, and honor the body that has done so much for you and your babies.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about recognition.

You are already enough, exactly as you are.

The moments you think you’ll remember are often the ones that quietly slip by… 🤍

The everyday chaos. Tiny hands reaching for yours. The little voices calling “Mama” one million times a day.

This is why heirloom photography matters.

Not just for beautiful photos, but for preserving your family’s story in a way that lasts beyond this season of life. Wall art and albums become more than images. They become memories your children and one day their children can hold in their hands. A way to see how they were loved, how they were held, and the life being built around them.

These aren’t the photos that get buried in a camera roll. They become part of your home, your story, and your legacy.

Photos your kids will thank you for one day. ✨

If you’re ready to create heirloom images for your family, I would love to connect with you. 🤍

I love extended family sessions because there’s something so beautiful about a whole family gathered together. All ages, all seasons of life. Stories being shared, laughter abounding, memories being made. It’s real, it’s chaotic, and it’s beautiful. The little hands holding tight, grandparents stealing a quiet smile, cousins bursting into giggles. These are the moments that make your family’s story feel alive, today and generations from now.

I love being able to preserve these memories into tangible, heirloom products my families can take home. Wall art for grandparents to walk past every day, albums for parents to cuddle up on the couch with their littles and flip through. Getting those memories off corruptible hard drives and into your home as an heirloom piece to enjoy every day.
