Meet Taylor Martini,
the videographer and photographer behind the lens
Having been born and raised in North Idaho, I moved to Western Montana in 2022 to start a life with my sweet husband, Allen. When I'm not filming a wedding or frolicking in nature capturing family photos, you can find me paddle boarding on the lake, at a local coffee shop, or spending time with my family and friends. A few more things I love are holistic health, studying theology, and epic dance parties.
For as long as I can remember, I've been infatuated with documenting and storytelling.
I've kept journals all my life, wanting to remember each season I've walked through and how it shaped me. In 2015, a little blue point and shoot camera fell into my hands, and suddenly I had a new way to preserve the moments unfolding around me.
On a wedding day, or during a photoshoot...
you'll get a laid back, sometimes silly, and very thoughtful creator, who wants to see you and your loved ones shine. I do my best to make sure you feel confident and have FUN while behind the camera.

My Style...
My sessions are guided and shot intentionally, but edited to feel accidental. My photos and videos feel like, "We happened to witness this", instead of, "this was posed and captured".
I focus on the way it feels to get married to the love of your life, to hold your newborn baby in your arms, or to get together with your family and create a fun memory during a photoshoot.
How do I do this?
CONNECTING BEFORE A SESSION
I love taking the time to understand the dynamic between you and your loved ones before our session together, and to learn things like whether or not you've been in front of a camera before and what you're hoping to get out of your final gallery.
CREATING A SAFE SPACE WHILE SHOOTING
I pride myself in being great at reading a room. I always want to make my clients feel comfortable to be themselves, no matter the shoot, in order to capture authenticity between you. I never compromise the comfortability of a client for a specific photograph or video. I want you to love your gallery and the time we spent shooting it.
MY OWN ARTISTIC VISION
While shooting, I take into deep consideration a few things among many. First, the composition of an image, what takes up the space of the frame and how. For some shots, I like to focus on small details that share a bigger picture, like hands touching, moving fabric, or hair blowing in the wind. For other shots, I like to make the subject feel small, capturing them amidst a beautiful nature backdrop to produce a more vast and serene image.
Another way I express my artistic flair is through posing. I aim to create intentionally candid images. I want my photos and videos to feel cinematic, with lots of emotional depth. This means offering direction and prompts that create a very natural way of being in front of the camera. The prompts play off romance, intimacy, and playfulness to create images that evoke a wild and free type vibe.
The last major expression of my style comes through color. After our session together, I bring the colors of the scene back to life and alter them to fit the feeling I want to emulate, cinematic, nostalgic, and warm.
All of these techniques, as well as many more, guide me to create videos and photos that my clients love to view themselves and their memories in.
I can't wait to meet you and capture something memorable together.
Life is too short to not stop and capture the current beauty surrounding us. The moments we share with our loved ones are priceless. What a privilege it is to be able to hold onto them.
