Taylor Lord

Describing herself as a natural light, editorial wedding photographer, Taylor Lord’s first love is film. “It’s the only type of photography I have worked with that has been able to achieve the look I strive for,” says Lord, who studied art history at Baylor University but was spurred into photography via a black-and-white film class her senior year. Shooting with a Contax 645 medium format, Lord cites director Terrence Malick as a heavy influence on her work. “He has this amazing way of turning the most mundane things in the world into something beautiful,” she says, “and that is definitely what drives me in wedding photography.”
