Danielle and Kevin’s Intimate Chicago Wedding shot on FilmšŸ¦¢ The morning of their wedding started in Logan Square at a lil Airbnb. They got ready semi-together before their first look and private vows in the backyard, after quite a few tears and heartfelt words we were off to see their family at @thelytlehouse for an intimate ceremony and ring exchange. Followed by a quick ride over to their celebration and dinner with closest friends at @rlm_chicago with some of the BEST food catered by @ambrosia.chicago ā¤ļø‍šŸ”„ it was such a joy to capture and create along side Danielle and Kevin on their day and even more joyful to witness all the love they have for each other and their people.

You’re looking at the reason im a photographer today- if it wasn’t for my granny and her thousands of film photos in tubs in the sewing room— without her patience to look at them with me and tell me the story behind each one- I wouldn’t be the story teller I am, I wouldn’t have the eye for composition I do, I wouldn’t understand the magic of what a photos can do. It means so much to be able to do this, to be an artist. I’m eternally gratefulšŸ’Œ all thanks to her so I hope you enjoy some of these photos of Doris Collins Bankson being the icon she is in all slides (plus my papaw picky in the last two slides and my aunt and uncle pictured in slide 3) xx Taylor

COME AS YOU ARE, really.

core values & Beliefs

I am striving to create a safe space for everyone who steps in front of my camera

I educate myself about on-going social justice and environmental news & issues

I will not photoshop you ā€œskinnyā€ - hating ourselves is exhausting and itā€™s my goal to capture you in your best light

All bodies are art and worthy of being documented authentically and honestly, just as they are no matter what anyone says

Please donā€™t apologize for your face, body hair, stretch marks, cellulite or anything else society is trying to push on us

Remember, this is a safe space to be and express yourself as you see fit

You are loved, you are seen, and you are so so special. Please donā€™t hesitate to tell me how I can help co-create this space with you.

xx

Taylor
