Dear BreAnne and Peter,
It is an honor to be entrusted with capturing one of the most important days you will celebrate as a couple. It’s certainly not a responsibility my team and I take lightly.
With this understanding in mind, Daria Taylor Photography only commits to a set number of weddings per year in order to give each of our couples the level of attention and enthusiasm they deserve.
This Proposal EXPIRES IN
Why DOES this PROPOSAL expire?
Due to the high volume of inquiries we receive, we cannot guarantee dates until your booking proposal is complete.
Please note that while your pricing is guaranteed for the duration of your live link, your date is not reserved until booking has been completed, and is subject to fill even before your link expires.
— Let’s make it count.
We understand that there are no do-overs when it comes to selecting your celebration photographer.
Unlike high-volume party studios, DTP provides candid, photojournalistic coverage that is as unique as your relationship.
You’re not a prop for our art project- we’re not shooting staged, corny photos for our portfolios. We’re capturing YOU.
And trust us– that’s better than anything we could possibly make up.

Associate Photography Team
Stiff, traditional, and formulaic
Candid, flexible, and non-traditional.
We lead with a “memories first” philosophy, capturing authentic moments in real time (not directing or staging) so in 40 years, your album is filled with reminders of real memories of the day, not reminders of how bossy and obtrusive your photographer was in getting you to re-create gimmicks for Instagram.
Shooting style
Separate vendors, not in communication.
Thoroughly vetted and in-sync with photo team to stay out of each other’s shots and to deliver a well-rounded story that works in cohesion.
Video Team
Not available.
Offered through DTP, drone footage adds that extra “wow” factor to create eye-catching, cinematic footage of your venue and surroundings that will make you feel like you just fell into a Rom Com.
Drone Team
Images run through AI software for speed (and sloppiness).
DTP understands that you’re entrusting a human (not a bot) to carefully cull through every raw image file captured to ensure nothing is missed.
Image-culling
Outsourced to AI, or online editing factories overseas for fast and cheap batch edits.
DTP understands that you’re investing in hand edited, retouched, consistent image quality with care taken to preserve the full spectrum of emotions and beauty throughout the day.
Additionally, we remove exit signs, blemishes, and other distracting elements you won’t want to remember.

Not available–after all, it takes time to send all image files through AI culling and editing or overseas.
Let’s face it. We’re all impatient. The most beautiful, impactful moments from your special day are sent to you within 72 hours for real-time social media sharing and to announce some of the biggest news you’ll ever want to shout from the rooftops.
Image Previews
None - point and shoot, deliver a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all image gallery.
OR worse: constantly interrupting your special moments with loved ones to ask questions that should have been answered yesterday.
This happens once, and we can’t afford to miss a moment.
THERE ARE NO REDOS (or in this case, re-”I Do’s”). DTP offers pre-planning phone calls to fully understand the logistics of your special celebration and to ensure that once your day comes, we’re in charge of setting our game plan into motion, and you’re in charge of being fully present and enjoying the ride.
Strategy
Daria is SUCH a wonderful photographer. There are so many words to describe her and I can’t even begin to express how truly mesmerized I am by not only her work, but also her charisma and who she is!
When we saw Daria’s portfolio we were floored. She takes all these incredibly emotional shots and her edits are marvellous. Her photos capture feeling and do not look staged, because they aren’t.
Daria has a unique ability to capture moments that no one would even notice or think about. Her quality of work surpasses so many photographers in the industry. I myself am a photographer can not recommend Daria enough.
I can’t even begin to explain how amazing it is to work with vendors such as Daria. She is kind, pays attention to every detail, is AMAZING with communication (which is just simply a must in the wedding industry) and is compassionate.
Planning a wedding was incredibly stressful but there was nothing stressful about working with her. She was extremely professional, talented, and genuine. She was game for everything we wanted.
My husband and I both love our photos, and our families are so happy with the way they turned out. The shots are so intimate, and truly portray our love. She killed it!!
