The Wedding Experience

Working together means you'll have someone who's genuinely invested in making sure your day unfolds exactly the way you want it to. From our first conversation about your vision and timeline to the moment your gallery is delivered, every step is designed to feel natural and stress-free. I'll be there to capture the anticipation while you're getting ready, the tears during your vows, the laughter during the toasts, and every dance floor moment until the last song plays. You won't feel like you have to perform for the camera. Instead, you'll simply be present with the people you love while I document all the unscripted moments happening around you. After your celebration, I spend hours thoughtfully editing each image to bring out the beauty and genuine emotion that made your day yours. When it's ready, your complete gallery arrives in a beautiful online format you'll love coming back to again and again.

Your Engagement Session

Your engagement session is about capturing who you are together right now. We'll choose a location that means something to you, whether that's a favorite spot, somewhere adventurous, or a place that feels like home. The whole experience is designed to be relaxed and fun, giving you a chance to be yourselves while I capture the connection between you. You won't spend the session worrying about posing or feeling awkward. Instead, we'll just hang out, explore, and let the moments happen naturally. After the session, I'll edit your images to bring out all the warmth and emotion from the day. Your gallery will be ready to use for save-the-dates, display at your wedding, or just to celebrate this exciting time in your lives.

Life doesn't slow down, and the moments worth remembering deserve to be beautifully documented. Whether you're welcoming a new addition to your family, refreshing your professional presence, celebrating a pregnancy, or marking the end of your senior year, these sessions are built around what matters to you. We'll talk through your vision, pick a setting that feels right, and create images that actually look like you at your best. The goal isn't perfection or stiff poses. It's about capturing the real you in a way that feels genuine and timeless. Your final images are thoughtfully edited and delivered digitally, ready to frame, share with loved ones, or use however you need them.

Beyond Weddings & Engagements

where are you based?

I am based in Portland, Maine. 

do you travel?

I do travel! 100000% Yes! I love to travel wherever my couples take me. From east coast to west coast, or even outside of the country. I will travel to wherever you’d like to go!

do you offer videography?

Unfortunately, I do not. I only offer photography services, however, when you book with me you will have access to all of my preferred vendors, which includes videographers.

do you offer engagement photos with your wedding packages?

Yes, I do! All of my wedding packages have engagement session options & I always recommend doing them with your wedding photographer because it helps us all get to know each other before your big day.

what is your turn around time?

Turnaround time can vary. Turnaround time depends on the services as well as the season. Typically engagement sessions are delivered within 4 weeks and weddings take about 10–12 weeks. You can expect sneak peeks given within 24–72 hours for all types of sessions & weddings.

do you shoot dual slot?

Yes, all of my cameras are dual slot. Shooting dual slot means that you have two SD/memory cards in your camera that are writing the images on both at the same time. This is super important when shooting so that you have a backup if something unexpected happens to your camera(s). Taking all extra precautions are very important to me when working with my clients.

Do you have a second photographer with you during weddings?

Absolutely! I would love to clone myself if I could. Since that isn’t possible, I have a team of second shooters that can be included into your wedding package.

how do I reserve my date with you?

To secure your date with me, I require a signed contract and retainer fee to be made. To inquire, please head to the “inquire” tab and I will respond within 24–48 hours.

how many photos can we expect to receive?

On average, you can expect to receive at least 50 edited images/hour on your final gallery.

can we see a full gallery?

Of course. It is so important to know what to expect when booking your photographer. Reach out any time and I will be more than happy to send you a gallery.

Can I have the unedited/RAW photos?

Unfortunately, no. Unedited/raw images will not be given.

How many hours of photo coverage do we need on our wedding day?

For a typical wedding day, photo coverage can be anywhere around 8–10 hours, depending on how the day will flow & what you want covered. 8 hours is usually the sweet spot. I can speak with you more on this after your inquiry! :)

Do you help us with our wedding day timeline?

Yes! I love helping my couples work through their timeline. I will work with you through out the wedding process.

"Clay is the absolute most kindest, talented, welcoming person ever."

He truly made me and my husband feel so special and comfortable during our shoots with him. I'm usually a very shy and uncomfortable with all the attention on me but he truly made me feel incredible.

I highly highly recommend Clay even just for a small family shoot or your big wedding day, he is the best!!!

"Run, don’t walk, and book your wedding with Clay."

We are blown away by the all the emotion you can feel in the photos from our wedding. The photos are perfect and working with Clay was so easy. He has calm and warm energy. My husband and I never did an engagement shoot and don’t feel comfortable being photographed. Clay guided us through our day that we didn’t even realize all the pictures and moments he was capturing.

Thank you Clay for your expertise and for being so great to work with. 

"I can't recommend him enough! His work is the best I have ever seen. "

We never once felt uncomfortable, he made everything feel so natural. He is timely, professional, and his communication skills are the best out of anyone we have ever worked with.

We were truly blessed to have found him and I will cherish our wedding photos for the rest of my life.

"We would 100% recommend Clay Taylor Photo to family, friends, strangers, everyone!" 

All of the photos exceeded our vision and expectations. We received some amazing sneak peaks while we were on our honeymoon, and there were plenty to hold us over until receiving our full gallery. 

We are so thankful to have had him as our photographer!"

"Every interaction with Clay reaffirmed that we made the best choice for our wedding photographer."

From our initial phone call that was well organized and thoughtful to our engagement shoot and then our big day, Clay made us feel comfortable and guided us. We cannot thank or recommend Clay enough!"

I know we will be cherishing our beautiful pictures for a lifetime.
