Taylor’d Photography

In the beginning...

While Elise was attending NMSU for her Bachelor’s in Art in 2009, a friend of a friend asked her to take photos at her wedding. One of the guests at the wedding was so impressed with her demeanor, they asked her to photograph their son’s upcoming wedding. After photographing a few weddings, Elise realized wedding photography was the bee’s knees. It contained all of the different aspects of photography she enjoyed (fashion, portrait, documentary, and photojournalism). Having been inspired by the works of Richard Avedon, wedding photography enabled Elise’s artistic expression to flourish while simultaneously documenting meaningful moments for her clients. Encouraged by her husband Nate (he ordered the first business cards and attempted to build her an entire website over their college semester winter break) Elise threw her hat into the crazy world of wedding photography. And so Taylor’d Photography was created.

Elise Taylor earned a Bachelor’s of Fine Art with an emphasis in Photography from New Mexico State University. While completing her BFA she was mentored by Guggenheim fellow David Taylor. Her thesis work “About Remembering” appeared on exhibit at the Las Cruces Art Museum. Elise's work has been featured on Beyond the Wanderlust blog and has been published in the Wedding Connection magazine and the Las Cruces Bulletin’s yearly wedding guide. Elise has published books containing her work such as “The First Year” and “In Transit”. Elise’s personal work focuses on the ongoing struggle of our lives – remembering. This focus influences her portrait commissions and wedding work and she is highly committed to helping her clients preserve and protect the greatest moments of their lives. When she isn't saving the world’s memories, she is creating her own with her two adventurous daughters, handsome husband and best dog in the whole wide world, Peppa the Pug.
