I never hired her because she was not interested in my small wedding on a week day, which is fine. However, there was no need to be so rude in her email. I would not recommend! Instead I hired an amazing photographer: we paid $3,000 for a two hour coverage with the digital images and one album. Gorgeous pictures. Our photographer even won a competition with one of them. Your loss Ms. Taylor!

Our wedding was at the end of October and we have yet to receive our pictures or have any communication from them-except a quick email in February that we will be receiving them in two weeks. We're working on taking them to court-but all i want are the pictures we paid for! I would not recommend them to anyone. (this may sound like I'm not angry-believe me I'm furious I'm just so upset over it and tired of waiting for them to magically show up in the mail.)

Our five month anniversary is next week and we still do not have a single wedding photo nor have we had any communication from our wedding photographer. Zip, Zero, Nada. Another bride who used LTP and who was married in mid-September just received her photos on 3/4. I was hopeful I would hear something too, but my most recent email was once again ignored.
This is the most unprofessional business I have ever dealt with; steer clear! UPDATE: Ironically, after posting the above yesterday we received our photos. There was no note in the envelope, and they mailed it to our old address - despite giving them our current address. There are very few that are up to par with the quality of the stuff LTP puts on her site.
Most of them are VERY overexposed and completely "blown out" looking. Lots of extra white faces blending into a white sky.even though the sky was perfectly blue that day. Based on the "passable" shots we paid $14.32 for each photo. We received 10 shots that look like the one I uploaded or worse. There are a lot of photos which have had the "blur" effect done so extensively that you can't even freaking see what is really going on.
There isn't a single photo which shows my flowers that is not blown out so that they just look like a ball of white. As someone who is a photo hobbyist, I took a lot of photos of my flowers when I got them to make sure they would photograph well - I had been in a wedding where the flowers were just stunning in person but photographed terribly and wanted to avoid that.
I believe that the photos were edited sloppily at a minimum and most likely done on purpose in response to this negative review. I am proceeding with the lawsuit to sue for the raw files so that I can have them edited by someone else. CVS could probably do a better job.

Booked a photo session with Leigh... paid for a two hour session, got one hour... She was sarcastic, egotistical and snotty... even her husband was obviously embarrassed by her immature behavior... To top it off, after the session, i never received any photos from the shoot because neither Leigh or her business partner/husband would respond to any of my emails, texts or phone calls.... and I gave them 2 months to answer, but they never did.... Totally unprofessional, incapable of providing customer service... Obviously inexperienced business people, completely clueless....

My husband and I also hired Leigh Taylor Photography for our May 2010 wedding and had quite an experience with her. Our wedding photos were the most important thing to us so we splurged a little when we hired Leigh Taylor for $3,100 to photograph our wedding. I was totally shocked when Andy Taylor, Leigh's husband and business partner, called at 4pm the day before the wedding to let me know she was very sick and would not be able to make it.
They sent two other photographers in her place and Andy was also there as the lighting guy. There wasn't much I could do at the time being that it was 25 hours until I said "I Do." I couldn't pitch a fit or fire them because then I would have no one to document this very special day. Andy assured me that Leigh's second shooter photographs like her and that Leigh would be editing all the photos so they will all look like Leigh's work.
So with not many choices or options I said okay. I anticipated some sort of communication from Leigh soon following the wedding, such as an apology or a preview of some of my photos. A month went by and I had not even heard, or seen, anything from Leigh or Andy. I was the one who had to chase them down. I sent numerous emails before she set up a gallery of her favorite pictures from our wedding for me to see.
To say I was disappointed is an understatement. The photos were good, but we paid for great photos and they didn't look like Leigh's work. I told her how I felt but she stood by the quality of the photos. She offered me a free session with digital negatives to make up for not being there. I thanked her for the offer but told her I would rather have an album.
As much as we were unhappy with the photos we had seen so far, we didn't want to do a bridal session. Our wedding was something we wanted to experience once and we couldn't afford to have my hair and make-up redone and rent a suit for my husband so we could get better pictures that should of been taken in the first place. Plus, I would know that every time I looked at them that it wasn't our wedding day.
Unfortunately Leigh said she would be not willing to provide me with an album because that would cost her money and in her offering a session, it would only cost her time and talent. Apparently, she has no problem taking money out of my pocket though. I was told that I would have all edited photos on a disc between 6 and 8 weeks. At the 8 week mark I tried contacting them to inquire about the whereabouts of the pictures. Leigh responded after I sent her three emails saying that since she was sick (in May) she was still trying to catch up on editing and she would have them to me soon.
My photos finally arrived on August 9th, 12 weeks and 2 days after our wedding. We received about 1100 photos and out of 1100 photos we don't have one single picture of my husband and his groomsmen or him and his best man, a single picture of me with my either one of my parents or him with just his parents, and numerous other types of photos that are a staple in wedding photography.
I called Leigh and Andy out on this and they threw the 2nd photographer THEY HIRED under the bus saying it was her fault for not getting these photos. Also, most of the pictures of me getting ready are in black and white and they refuse to give me the original photos and have dragged their feet about sending me edited color photos of the prep stating that we had poor lighting.
Another 5 months have passed and I have not received any additional photos or a response from either Leigh or Andy regarding a $250 ala cart credit after I've sent numerous emails, texts, and voice mails.
Leigh Taylor doesn't know how to treat clients with respect, dignity or with any professionalism. I would NOT recommend her to even my worst enemy.
