TESTIMONIALS

“First, we were super late in planning our wedding due to a change of plans, and Taylor was very responsive and overly willing to work with us on a shortened time frame.

She helped us with our vision in a very collaborative way. She’s experienced in these events and thinking through our plans with us to make sure we are making efficient use of our time. She also knows the Bar Harbor area like the back of her hand and had many suggestions on top of our own ideas. We loved how she went out of way to explore the park prior to our wedding and sent us views to fit our ideal backdrop.

She was so pleasant to work with: Taylor had a calming presence about her that put us at ease for what might of been more stressful moments in our day. She hopped right into our day like she’s been our best friend for years! She dealt with our crazy mom with no problem too! Leant my wife her jacket in-between shoots when it was about 30 degrees out!

At the end of the day you want good pictures that capture the memories and stories you’ll share for years to come. Taylor CRUSHED this with an abundance of photos for us to look through from getting ready to little moments like changing shoes. She even took a cool little instagram story video that she shared with us! I swear we’ve never looked better, and that may have been from the tux and dress, but I know Taylor was a huge help in making that happen.

We recommend Taylor with the strongest possible enthusiasm! Thanks again Taylor!”

“Taylor is an incredible photographer. In short, I loved working with Taylor, and if I could bring her everywhere, I honestly would. My now-fiance hired Taylor to secretly photograph our proposal in Acadia National Park and I am so grateful that such a talented photographer and sweet human was there to immortalize such a special moment in our lives. She captured the pure intimacy of our experience. The resulting images put our natural and authentic emotions on display to the fullest with a highly elevated, artistic quality and depth. Even once I realized that she had been taking photos the entire time during the proposal, we felt completely at ease...nothing like some other photo sessions I’ve observed in public, none of the awkwardness or overly contrived posing and direction. Looking at the photos again and again, my eyes can’t help but water with tears of joy. Every photo is so beautiful that I always have difficulty choosing which ones to show to friends and family. Taylor’s professionalism, joyful demeanor, patience, and willingness to hike to the proposal location also deserve great appreciation and admiration. I would highly recommend Opt for Epic to all!”

“Taylor made all of our engagement photo dreams come true!! From our initial emails, I could immediately tell that Taylor was the perfect person to capture this important moment for us - professional, friendly, and truly listened to what we were looking for. I sent Taylor images that I found online to represent what we wanted, and she exceeded our expectations. Not only did she take the time to explore Acadia to find us our perfect photo spots to reflect what we wanted, she helped our awkward selves with the perfect guidance throughout the shoot to makes us feel comfortable, relaxed, and able to have fun! We had SO much fun with Taylor during our session! I highly recommend Taylor if you’re looking for amazing photos, professional service, and a great personality to make your photo session one to remember.”

“We LOVE the photos!!! Taylor is an amazing photographer and person. We are so lucky to have found her and have her for our photo session. It was our first time taking professional photos. We were clueless on how to act and Taylor took care of everything with grace and joy. She was very comunicative, interested in finding out our expectations and concerns and yet giving us the confidence that she knew the Where, When and How to make our dream-photos come true. And that is exactly what she did. On the day of our session she not only made us feel comfortable with her super sweet personality but also provided a real adventurous experience. She loves what she does and that makes all the difference. Thank YOU, Taylor, we are happy for having you as part of our story! ”

“Taylor and Opt For Epic deserve all the credit for my perfect proposal! With a plan to propose on vacation in a town I’ve never visited, it was impossible to find an ideal location. Taylor recommended a spot that met all my needs, scoped it out a week early to make sure that the spot wasn’t too crowded and the light was just right. And of course, the photos came out amazing. Memories we will have forever. Could not recommend Opt For Epic enough, they go above and beyond to make sure that your experience is a perfect as you imagine!”

“Selecting a wedding photographer was the most important part of our planning because we were eloping. The only way we were able to share this moment with our friends and family was through our photos, so we knew that we needed someone to help us capture every little thing. We are so happy we choose Taylor to document our elopement. She helped us capture each part of the day perfectly! We have received so many compliments on how the photos turned out. In addition to her beautiful photos, Taylor has a calming demeanor and a special way about her that helps relieve any stress. We were so happy with our experience on our wedding day that we choose Taylor to photograph our reception party two months later, and we will always use her for our professional photos.”

“From the second we met Taylor she not only instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, she seemed genuinely excited to be there and to be a part of our day. She knew exactly what we were hoping for, and made the most perfect suggestions in order to capture the day perfectly. Her and Kareem make such a great team, and they really made the day fun. From the church, to outdoor ocean cliff photographs, to dancing pictures at the reception, down to the little details and capturing the personality of family members in between.. she can do it all and all of her pictures are consistently beautiful. She is professional, organized, talented, calm, funny, helpful, and will literally jump across cliffs with you in order to get the perfect shot. I can’t say enough great things about Taylor any bride would be lucky to have her photograph your special day, she is simply the best!”

“To say that Taylor and Kareem were amazing would be an absolute understatement. From capturing our engagement photos, to communicating about the plan for my wedding day to take stress off, to capturing my wedding it was everything I could have asked for and more. Taylor has a way of taking charge and taking stress from any situation with ease. Her and Kareem are so wonderful I couldn’t be happier and more thankful for all their hard work! AND their photos are AMAZING to say the least! I would recommend her a thousand times over.”

“I cannot even begin to express the amount that we loved Taylor!! Her and Kareem Made us feel so unbelievably comfortable throughout the whole entire day! She was so prepared and hit all the points that we wanted.... AND MORE! Honestly you’d be crazy not to book her for your special day! Thank you again for capturing all of the love that filled the air on our wedding day! You guys are the BEST!!!!!!!!!”

“I wish I could give Taylor 100 stars! Hiring her and Kareem for our wedding day was one of the best choices we made in the planning process. They are such a fun duo that help keep the mood relaxed and positive throughout the day - which is very important to have people like that around on your big day. Taylor was the photographer for my 2 cousins weddings previously, and their pictures came out stunning so I knew she was the right choice. Taylor shared a few pictures just a couple days after our wedding and they are just beautiful! I would HIGHLY recommend Taylor to anyone!”
