oh HEy, IT'S SO NICE TO MEET YOU
Things I love: Italian food, matcha lattes, beach days, and a little (okay, a lot of) trashy reality TV. I am passionate about photographing emotion—love, connection, & happiness. It’s a crazy feeling to be chosen to document the biggest days in someone’s life, and I treat it like it’s the most important job in the world... because to me, it is.
I am a traveling photographer + web designer; obsessed with adventure, travel, and capturing intimate moments. If you bring me along on your adventure somewhere special, I can promise to capture memories you will never forget.
I'm Not just a photographer,
I'll be your friend along side you on your wedding day
hi, I'm taiya!
There’s something so special about being part of a wedding day — the real, raw emotions, the laughter, the quiet moments that speak louder than words. It’s in those in-between moments where I feel most inspired. Watching my couples fully present in their day, surrounded by so much love, reminds me just how lucky I am to do what I do. Capturing those honest, heartfelt moments is truly what lights me up.
That same feeling carries over when I travel — exploring new places, soaking in different cultures, and photographing the beauty I find along the way. Whether I’m documenting a love story across the world or just down the road, it all comes back to connection, emotion, and telling stories that matter.
WHAT INSPIRES ME
"EVERY WEDDING, EVERY COUPLE HAS THEIR OWN UNIQUE LOVE STORY. YOUR love story IS one-of-a-kind and that deserves to be captured in the most authentic and meaningful way"
I also can't get enough of travelling and exploring new places and landscapes. So far I've had the opportunity to explore Denmark, Portugal, Arizona, Hawaii, California, Oregon Nashville,, Florida, Mexico, Dominican Republic and counting!
Vancouver Island and the BC Coast hold such a special place in my heart. It’s where my mom and her family are from, and I grew up spending summers there — some of my most treasured memories are from those days by the ocean. Every time work brings me back to the island, it feels like coming home in the best way. There's something so grounding about being near the water, and I always feel extra connected and inspired when I'm there.
Italian food, beach days, matcha latte's, and trashy reality tv are just a few of my favs
