HOPE TAYLOR
WEDDINGS
After over a decade of photographing weddings, I specialize in working with couples who want a fun photography experience centered around moments of pure joy. If you love all things colorful, floral, bright and girly (Hill House, anyone?) - we are kindred spirits!
Bright, joyful wedding photography for couples who value family, thoughtful details and an experience that feels as good as it looks.

After booking with a signed contract and retainer, our next step is to plan your engagement session! This is an optional part of my packages (you can opt for complimentary rehearsal dinner coverage instead), but it is such a fun way for us to get to know each other and help you feel even more comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day. Just think of it like a date night with a little paparazzi. My engagement sessions are typically about one hour long, and I'll give you the best recs for Charleston dinner and drinks when we're done!
Engagement Session
Timeline Creation & Prep
With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, I truly strive to make the process as simple as possible for my couples. I will work with you (or directly with your planning team) to create an ideal photography timeline tailored to your specific wedding day - and we'll be sure there isn't a single moment that isn't captured to perfection. All of my brides also receive a copy of my 60+ page printed Bridal Guide - best read with a glass of white wine in a bubble bath. It will help you to feel confident going into planning every element of your wedding day from a photographer's perspective!
"IT'S CORONATION DAY!!!" - me quoting Frozen at 4:30am on my own wedding morning, and equally as excited when I wake up on yours !!! The best day of your life is here, and the absolute last thing you should be worried about is your photographer. You will walk into your wedding day with confidence in knowing myself and my team are there to perfectly document every floral detail, sentimental moment and blackmail-worthy dance floor incident.
Wedding Day
Gallery Delivery
One of the things that I pride myself in as a photographer is not making you wait ages for your images. I know that you are MOST excited to share your photos right when they happen - which is why all of my couples will have a sneak peek gallery of high resolution digital images in hand within 48 hours of their wedding day. You can expect your final wedding gallery within 3-4 weeks, and all images are backed up online. Your gallery is easy to share with your entire family, bridal party and vendor team - all with one easy link!
Album Design
If you choose a wedding package with a custom designed leather album, we will begin the album design process after your receive your digital gallery. We will work together to create beautifully designed spreads, choose cover options and finalize details for your album before it’s printed and shipped directly to you. These heirloom albums are absolutely stunning and built to last to show your babies someday!

Hope is such an amazing photographer. She took our engagement and wedding photos and they could not be more perfect! She is a complete delight to work with! She answered all our questions from the day I booked our wedding until after! I had so many guests comment on how amazing she is and how impressed they are with her work. The pictures she provided were absolutely stunning and she got them back to us so quickly! Hope works quickly and efficiently and is super awesome to work with! I could not have chosen a better photographer for my wedding!

You created beauty from the simplest of surroundings. The lighting was brilliant and our most precious moments were captured with flawless precision. We are very pleased with our experience and it has been our pleasure to repeatedly refer our friends to you.
“our most precious moments were captured with flawless precision.”
“Working with Hope was a dream, from my first contact email I sent that day after I got engaged to the sweetest package I received from her after our wedding; everything she does is with love and a passion for business that I have never come across before.”
“Working with Hope was a dream!”
- Alex Telgar
Hope was so energetic and genuinely wanted to be a part of OUR wedding day! And the reception, oh my stars, I couldn't imagine her NOT at the reception. Everyone raved about our pictures (and still do)!
“Working with Hope was the best experience I could have ever imagined!”
-Kelsie Howard
I can not even put into words how amazing Hope and her photography skills are. As anyone who has ever been married knows, it's stressful picking out vendors. When you find one that actually makes you feel like a friend and not just a business transaction you hold onto that. I will forever hold onto my experience with Hope. She is professional, kind, caring, calm but courageous and just flat out amazing.
