Taylor Mickal Wedding Photography
High-end true-to-color wedding photography in Washington D.C.
You only get once chance to capture your wedding day— make sure you have someone experienced and skilled enough to capture it beautifully the first time.
Hi! I’m Taylor— I would love to photograph your wedding!
I’ve been a professional wedding photographer for nearly a decade in Washington D.C., photographing a wide variety of weddings— from large luxury weddings to intimate elopements. I also have significant experience shooting events and a wide range of other work that helps give me additional skillsets that you may not find in typical wedding photographers— you can see some of my other work here!
My approach to your day!
I photograph weddings in vivid and dynamic true-to-life color with a focus on cinematic candids and poignant portraiture to capture your day as authentically and beautifully as I see it. It’s your day and I want you to experience it fully.
My crisp and clean true-color editing style protects your images from being considered dated or “trendy” over the decades— you’ll want to frame them forever.
Truly Caring
I am with you from beginning to end, and care deeply about you having a great day. I often do so much more than taking photos, whether that’s grabbing water for you, giving hugs when someone needs one, or just being kind.
Generous Delivery
I include all of the final images from events, never holding back images a client would love to have to make my editing workload easier. All images are fully processed and retouched as needed, at no additional cost.
Pressure & Practice
I combine my extensive experience photographing hundreds of events with my high tolerance for challenging and high-pressure work to give you dependable and reliable results the first time.
My clients love working with me! Just take a look below!

Who is Taylor?
Born and raised in New Orleans, I have lived all over the country and have been a professional photographer for nearly a decade. Before that, I served in the U.S. Navy. All of my experiences in my life have come together to make me an adaptable, creative, and highly competent photographer who performs very well under pressure— and someone who is fun, highly responsive, and easy to work with!
Why choose me?
Personal Touch
Many photography studios subcontract out various photographers to photograph the wedding contracts they are awarded. How do I know? Because they often hire me to associate shoot for them! But when you book me for your wedding you can always have confidence that you’ll be dealing with me directly; I am the one who personally answers the emails quickly, who jumps on a call if needed to go over the details, and who shows up to photograph your wedding beautifully.
High Standards
My work is held to a high standard. I go above and beyond when it comes to lighting every space, being creative and working for that stunning image I’m envisioning, and seeking out those beautiful interactions and laughs from you and your guests and family. I stake my reputation on my work and spend extra time making sure the final images are polished and worthy of my name.
Dependability
I have a significant amount of experience over the last decade photographing weddings; I arrive early, work hard to create images of the day, and can be depended on to deliver a professional and personable experience and adapt quickly to changes in timelines, photo needs, or anything else that comes up.
