Words cannot express how thankful my fiancé and I feel about Rich. He is very professional, kind, prompt, and a hard worker. In the amount of time we spent with him, he always valued our ideas and opinions without disregarding any details. In fact, he added great suggestions and memorable value to our now permanent photos. During our engagement, I had friends help me surprise my now fiancé, and in the planning time, Rich felt like a friend I have known for a very long time. He acknowledged every one of our friends and allowed everyone to be themselves without any negativity or unpleasant looks. His photo skills are SUPERB!!!! Every friend and family member who we have been able to share some pictures with have all been giving nonstop compliments on how beautiful the photos look, especially considering how the day of the proposal was (extremely cloudy and rainy). Rich managed not only to capture the moment(s) during this special day, but also able to seize it and forever have it inscribed in our memories with these wonderful photos. Anyone who is looking for a photographer, look no further, Rich Taylor is the guy to go to!!! :)

Details: Candid style (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental style (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic style (focus on composition, lighting) • Outdoors • Three locations • 11 - 20 shots • Online or digital proofs and prints • Physical proofs and prints • $$$ (premium) • I travel to the engagement photographer

Rich was SO wonderful! Having so much going on in my life at the time with many personal transitions, Rich really made my fiancÃ© and I, as well as my step daughter, feel so relaxed and at ease. His photography and artful eye really showed in the pictures. I cannot wait to show all my friends and family what classic pictures I have to document my engagement. I highly recommend Rich!

Rich was absolutely amazing to work with !!! My fiance and I were going to be in town and wanted to have our engagement photos taken on the beach in Miami. I found Rich via thumbtack and he sent me a quote immediately. He was always very quick and prompt with his emails to me. Even after the shoot he kept in contact and made sure we loved everything. Rich showed up for the shoot early even when we did a sunrise session ! Rich did not rush the process and went with the flow , we felt so comfortable with him. He is so talented and knew exactly how to position us to get the shots with beautiful light and scenery. Great pricing and amazing talent ! We couldn't be happier with the pictures.

Richard was really cooperative with my vision for my photos, and very talented in photography. He recommended a great place to take photos. He knew about lighting and that helped make for great photos! He was very easy to take photos with, calm and helpful with ideas of how to stand and sit, but still look natural. Overall I was very happy with the outcome of his work, and I would recommend him for your engagement, or personal photography needs.

We recently had our engagement photos done with Rich Taylor in downtown Charlotte. We were supremely impressed with his professionalism and creativity. From the moment we made contact with him on thumbtack he was incredibly attentive. He answered all of our questions within hours of our emails. I'm a very detailed oriented person and he took special care to answer each question adequately no matter how silly it was. On the day of the shoot he called to confirm the time and place and then was punctual to a designated time. During the photo shoot Rich made us both feel incredibly comfortable. One of the best parts was that he would make suggestions about what part of our location we should use and how we should position ourselves, but he was also so open to letting us do what made us feel good as well being patient with some of our more cheesy ideas. The turn around on us getting access to our photos was also very impressive. The very next day he sent us one of our photos and then kept sending us a couple as he was working on them. We were able to have access to our complete gallery less than 1 week after we initially met up with him. I have to say that I was blown away with the amount of photos and how he seemed to capture our individual personalities as well as our chemistry as a couple. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Rich Taylor and we could not be more pleased with our overall experience. We will highly recommend him to all of my close family and friends!

Thank you so much for the kind review. I truly do appreciate it buddy! You both were very easy to work with and we not only had a great day (weather) but the location was beautiful (I love the city). I very much look forward to working with you and Sam again. Thank you... thank you... thank you!!!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing depends on the session details. Please call with any questions you may have.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I am strong with communication. Once we agree on a budget, place and time I stay in touch with the client before the session. This includes recommendation of attire and discussion of weather (if it is an outdoor session). I call the day before to confirm and discuss any last minute details. During the session, I am able to make the person comfortable pretty fast as I create a fun atmosphere and encourage playfulness. I believe my portfolio shows that.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I took private lessons from an established professional photographer. She said I learned in 3 months what normally takes an average person 2 years. I believe having over 30 years of graphic design and printing experience, I already had the fundamentals established.
