She was amazing!!! She arrived early. She had a copy of our contract including every special detail I wanted photographed. She went through the contract and detailed checklists page by page to ensure she did not miss a thing. She scouted special places of which I did not even think for beautiful pictures. In group shots, she directed people on how to stand to look the best. She. Was. Amazing. Worth every penny! Additionally, within a few days of the wedding, she sent me a "preview" of her favorite shots which included a slideshow of 84 images. WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHER!!!

They are exceptionally pleasant, attentive, detail-oriented, and super, super organized! We booked the Taylors many months before our daughter's April 2014 wedding because we fell instantly in love with them and their work! Kelli is a wonderful resource for anything related to wedding planning in Birmingham, which proved to be a huge help since we are fairly new to the area. Both Kelli and Daniel take stunning photographs and each manages to somehow capture those little moments on THE DAY that later make for heirloom pictures. There were so many amazing photos from our daughter's wedding and reception that she and our son-in-law struggled to choose pictures (from more than 800) for their wedding album. Simply the best, hands down!

As a daughter of a professional photographer, and as someone who has grown up with a passion for…read moreseeing the world and all it's people through a creative lens, picking the right photographer for my wedding was a top priority. I have been raised on the principle that - and I truly believe it - photography is an investment, no different than fine jewels or precious metals. Taking an image, freezing a moment, truly reveals how rich humanity is. And the best photographers are defined by their awareness of and the ability to capture the tiny moments in a persons life that reveal greater truths. I personally found Alyssa to be exceptional in every sense. Sophisticated yet sensitive, Alyssa herself is truly a beautifully crafted, four-dimensional entity. She loves details and intimacy, and she possesses a natural ability to capture beyond just mere glimpses of her subjects. Alyssa was graciously flexible, prompt, professional, and highly intuitive. It is my belief that Alyssa's presence has affirmed countless people of their personal worth and inherent beauty. To tell our story or give an account in detail of who we really are becomes impossible without relationships. I can say with utmost certainly that I am entirely thankful for my relationship with Alyssa and of her ability to consistently find opportunities to illuminate care and passion in not just my story, but of all the many narratives that she has captured in her career. I can only hope that I am given the opportunity to work with her beautiful soul again.

As I approach my one-year wedding anniversary, I figure I can finally write this review…read more I hired Jerrod to be my wedding photographer. After a lengthy nationwide search for the 'best' photographer (based on package, price, aesthetics, personality) my husband and I chose Jerrod as one of our first vendors, as it was one of our most important ones. It's been over a year since I've known Jerrod now, and I can say that without a doubt, he has been the most attentive, respectful, and accommodating person I worked with throughout the whole wedding process. I was unhappy about some of my bridal portraits, and when I brought the subject up to him, he was understanding and tried to do whatever he could to remedy the situation. When we were done buying our pictures and still had credit left on our account, he made an arrangement for us to get the DVD of all of our photos - engagement, bridals, and wedding. He was always prompt in communicating and I could always count on hearing from him within a day or two, never more! As for the quality of the photos, albums, prints, etc - we could not be happier. Both of our parents were absolutely thrilled with the pictures and the quality of the albums that came in our package. Our personal album is also of excellent quality (and HUGE to boot!). Our parents are still talking, even a year later, about how professional but kind and warm that Jerrod was (and is!). Although our professional relationship with Jerrod is over, he feels now like an old friend who we will stay in contact with for years to come.
