Brandon Taylor Photography

Where does one even begin........
I have to compose my thoughts and set time to do a proper review (way overdue!)
It is so absolutely unacceptable how he has treated countless people. We see through your lies and BS Brandon!
No idea how you can look your family in the eye knowing your funds are coming from lies, scams and dishonesty.

Regret not reading these reviews before booking Brandon for our wedding May 2023 at Langdon hall. Like the majority of these reviews my experience was similar. He was very unresponsive after receiving our deposit. I reached out to him multiple times trying to book our engagement shoot and most of the time I was unable to contact him. We finally got our engagement photos done a couple months before our wedding… two days before our wedding he text me saying someone had passed in his family. It was unclear as to whether he was sending replacements or not. He did end up responding and sent two replacements. He originally had told me it was going to be him and Kevin shooting our wedding but it was two females I had never met/ seen their work. One had a photography experience/ a website, the other one was her sister… I asked her if she had photography experience and she mentioned she had worked in the wedding industry and done photography on and off for a year…
I told Brandon we expected a discounted rate given the circumstances. He did take off $1000. Overall a terrible experience, by far the worst vendor we booked. Would not recommend.

Anyone else interested in teaming up so we can file a lawsuit against this photographer? He’s bullied our region for long enough.

Please. Do. Not. Hire.
I found Brandon, and was drawn to his instagram page. We had mutual friends who hired him for their wedding and I decided I wanted to reach out and hire him for my wedding...Getting a hold of him to hire should have been red flag number one. After weeks of messages, emails and dm's we finally set up a phone call. The phone call was super brief, and we sent the deposit right away after we were told we had to, to secure the date of our booking.
This was in September 2022.
There was ZERO communication with Brandon until 3 days before my wedding...AUGUST 2023. Not a single text, email, phone call, nothing. I tried texting him a month before concerned stating I was checking in since we were a month out. No reply.
I tried contacting him a week before, no reply. I tried calling him 3 days before my wedding date while getting very frantic, no answer. I received a text right after stating he was dealing with "personal problems but to fill out a questionnaire and he would call be back" I replied it was submitted and waited for him to reach out- nothing.
The next morning early in the AM I received a text two days before my wedding stating his "personal problems got worse last night and I will be in the hospital until later this afternoon, and that I will have to step away from weddings this weekend".
I was told he booked a replacement, but concerned about the replacements work and unsure of pricing and logistics - I decided to ask a few questions. Again, no reply and no answering of my questions-after waiting a few hours I decided that it was best to just go our separate ways and text him for a refund. He replied almost instantly to that text and stated we would get our money back.
This sent me into a full panic attack. I imagined my wedding day with no photographer or team, because of a personal emergency.
Brandon was not only seen at a wedding that Thursday night, but also the next night- my wedding night.......
I fully believe Brandon is a scam artist who double books his weekends, and chooses the wedding he wants to attend just days before & sends his backups to do the remainder of the his work at the weddings. I truly believe he takes your money and books you on false pretences, knowing he is already booked for that certain date. He chooses which one will make him the most money and receive the most social media attention.
After telling me he had to step away from weddings this weekend & brought up he was at the hospital- to seeing many photos and videos of him walking around two weddings working, is honestly gut wrenching. It caused me so much anxiety and stress, but knowing he was not even concerned because he already had weddings lined up is a slap in the face.
After seeing this I messaged Brandon many times to receive my refund and FINALLY replied a week later telling me it had to be "processed" for another week........with some more push we received our refund right away in a etransfer so I am confused what needed to be processed for another 7 full days?
I am lucky enough to have found an AMAZING photographer two days before my wedding, but I don't think some brides are not as lucky and I wouldn't risk putting yourself in that position.
I am telling you to read these reviews and run the opposite direction!

We had an absolutely awful experience with Brandon Taylor. *just to confirm incase he says these reviews are not about him - his wife is Tiana Taylor and he lives on in Cambridge area.
Our experience started out a year and a half ago. I originally found him through instagram. He displayed an incredible portfolio of magazine like photography. When booking with him he was extremely eggar to give us a good deal and was very friendly. When we asked for our date he stated that he had another couple that booked that date but he would cancel them and refund them to give us this date.. that was a huge red flag.
Moving forward, he sent over a contract asking for the entire amount of what he was charging us - $4,000.00. This seemed very weird. We offered half in good faith and sent him the money.
From this point on, Brandon was unbelievably hard to get a response from. I would reach out to him trying to book our engagement shoot and he would blatantly ignore the messages and continue to post on social media. I finally sent him a long message saying this is a very uncomfortable situation and does not seem like he is a professional, also to let him know that we were panicked that he would not show up for our wedding based on his multiple horrible reviews online. He finally responded and played it off as if we were crazy because he is doing us such a favor. He said he would give us a refund if we wanted but if not, he would have to consider if this is a good working relationship for “him” before moving forward. A few days later he texted me saying he is happy to move forward, however I said I think it’s best he refunds us as it seemed this could be an ongoing issue with his communication. He then quickly responded that he would not be giving a refund because he “checked with his lawyer”. This response was super aggressive and another huge red flag.
Skip forward a year and a half, we finally had our engagement shoot booked and close to the date he was non responsive. I had no idea where it would be, therefore I wasn’t able to buy any outfits etc.
The entire experience gave me such horrible panic attacks that I finally called it quits and told him I am not a babysitter for a work professional. I passed the information to my father and let him communicate with Brandon. I ended up having someone else step in for our engagement photos, and then 2 weeks later we decided to just get married with the new photographer there because we were so disappointed with how much Brandon delayed our wedding planning.
For MULTIPLE reasons, I would HIGHLY recommend running the other way if you come across Brandon. He’s one of the top scam artists and you can tell he has well rehearsed his BS. I am devastated for the couples in the wedding industry that have experienced the full journey with him. I am so glad that I got a different photographer. Please READ THE REVIEWS !!!! He has even been reported to better business bureau multiple times.
