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. read more

We met with Leigh Taylor (LT) in April of 2009 and hired her in September. I was in love with her from the start. I had to have her and she wasn't cheap. My husband was with me at the meeting and loved her work as well. I had no problems with her in the beginning with communication. She answered my e-mails quickly and was very sweet and helpful. It all started though in the beginning of 2010. I was told to contact her in January of 2010 to set up our engagement session so I did. It took her a little bit longer to respond but nothing too bad. I e-mailed her in February to get a little more info on the engagement session and find out what time. It wasn't until a few days before our session (April 10th) that her husband Andy (AT) e-mailed me back. I worried a little but they responded and our session was amazing. They were both great and she brought a ton of props and jewelry for me to wear. I knew the pictures were going to be amazing and they were! But, that's when it really all started for me. The package we got included save the dates so I scheduled the engagement session according to her telling me it would take her a month to send us the photos and have the save the dates back. She had a teaser up the day after the session and her blog was up about 3 days after! After the blog was up though we received no communication after. She was suppose to put a gallery up so we could look at the photos and pick our favorite for the save the date. I e-mailed her a few times and got no responses. Meanwhile we were friends on Facebook and I could see her commenting and posting stuff on Facebook which definitely upset me. There was a couple that had their session the day after ours and she posted on Facebook that their gallery was up. I was livid! Not that that's a huge deal but they were after us and she should have communicated with me. Finally a few weeks later she put the gallery up and we picked our favorite. It took her another 3 weeks or so to even communicate with me. Right around this time I was in touch with another bride who was having issues with her and LT did not show up to this bride's wedding. We finally did get our save the dates and I was able to send them out. Our wedding was not until November but I continued to hear of other brides having big problems with them. They did not communicate, did not produce stuff on time, etc. A few months before the wedding I sent another payment and e-mailed LT. I told her I was sending a payment and asked what our final balance was. I sent the payment and never heard anything back from them. I told my husband and we put a stop payment on the check. My husband e-mailed them and told them our concerns and we continued to hear nothing from them. He sent a final e-mail stating that we wanted our deposit back immediately. That got their attention. AT e-mailed my husband back that there had been a death in the family and they were out of town. What I didn't understand is why they hadn't notified their clients...you can put an auto response on your e-mail. They both had high tech phones...why couldn't they be checking their e-mails on their phones? In this business you can't afford not to communicate with your clients. My husband communicated our concerns and fears to AT. He came up with an agreement that we would pay them half of what we owe on the day of the wedding (If they did not show up they would get nothing). We would then pay them the remaining once we got all of our photos. AT told us it would take 10 weeks. If they missed the deadline we would deduct $100.00 each week it was late. We had an amazing wedding. LT and AT showed up on time with no issues. The only thing that bothered me is I felt she was a little snobby towards everyone. I felt she missed a lot of important shots as well. We were running a little late with hair and makeup which was not her fault. I still felt she should have taken 5 or 10 minutes and gotten some shots of us all dressed and ready. She also missed a lot of family shots and made our whole bridal party walk a few miles to only take 2 or 3 shots with the bridal party together. She told us it would take a week for her to put the blog up. A few weeks went with no blog so I sent an e-mail checking the status. I was surprised to receive a response a few days later stating she was behind but it would be up by the end of the week. More weeks go by and still nothing. My husband calls, texts and e-mails as well, still nothing. My husband sent a text to AT stating that if the blog was not up within 24 hours we would deduct $100.00 a day. The next day the blog was up and with this smart ass comment from LT "Just love when I get the time to put up a blog as a courtesy to my wonderful clients!!" It took her over 5 months to get us our CD with absolutely no communication from LT other than AT sending us an e-mail after we threatened to file a law suit. The whole experience with LTP was so unprofessional and very stressful. read more

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! read more

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.) read more

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 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. read more

My review will be short... Leigh is snotty, scarcastic and egotistical.... On top of that neither her or her business partner/husband, responded to any emails, texts or phone calls I made in an effort to receive my photos after the session... Totally unprofessional and clueless... never got my photos... read more

I hired Leigh Taylor back in 2008 for our wedding in 2009. We were one of her first weddings and while she produced some amazing photos - she was less than easy to deal with. Communication was almost non existent. It seemed like she heavily edited about 50 of her fav photos from our wedding, and did a super quick pass at the rest. I was not as upset about her work though as I was about her unprofessional attitude, and lack of communication. We ordered the most expensive album she offered and after bugging them for a proof of the album for months - it looked like a 10 year old had slopped it together in Microsoft paint. When I sent the album back with corrections - the communication went silent. I never heard from them again and they essentially pocketed the money for my album and never provided any reimbursement, credit, or acknowledgement. I considered taking them to small claims court over the album - but decided to leave it alone because of how much work it required of me. I haven't thought of her since....fast forward to 2016 and I thought I'd look up her website. Seems as though she may have gone out of business for the same type of treatment to MANY other brides. It's a real shame. She is a very talented artist with horrible business practices. read more
