Please head to Lear Media CO's Instagram account at @learmediaco as he is a videographer who worked with a couple who was scammed by Brandon and has exposed him publicly on his stories.

Unfortunately what you’re reading in these reviews isn’t new behaviour.

Back in 2017 my husband and I were just getting into the photography industry. We stumbled on Brandon’s work and thought he was incredibly talented. Brandon and my husband chatted on social media about photography etc and Brandon invited him out to shadow him on an engagement session. Which went fine.

A few months later, Brandon asked my husband to second shoot a wedding for him. Of course my husband said yes as he was excited to hopefully learn from a great photographer.

The wedding day came and my husband showed up to the girls getting ready location only to be completely shocked when the bride had no idea who he was.

Turns out, Brandon hired 2 somewhat new to the industry photographers to shoot this wedding and told the bride he had a sick friend/ family member and couldn’t make their wedding (sounds familiar, right?)

Ultimately , the main shooter, my husband (the second shooter) and the videographer were all hired last minute by Brandon to shoot this wedding. None of them were told Brandon wouldn’t be there- including the bride who found all of this out the day of her wedding.

They made it through the day, my husband sent his photos to Brandon and asked about being paid for his time. Shortly after, Brandon reached out to my husband essentially saying his photos were terrible (they weren’t) and “unuseable” so he wasn’t going to pay him.

Again, being new to the industry my husband was obviously embarrassed accepted that this was norm and moved on. (News flash, it’s not and he didn’t pay ANY of the people he hired for that day)

A few months later, the bride of that same wedding reached out to my husband asking if he had any photos he could send her because she hadn’t received anything from Brandon (sound familiar?… again). My husband edited and sent her all the photos he had which ended up being the only photos she ever received.

All of this to say, this has been happening for WAY too long. This isn’t “I overbooked myself after Covid” this is an intentional scam and it needs to stop.

I am a wedding photographer in the area, and I have had multiple Brandon Taylor couples reach out to me asking me to either
A) "redo" the wedding photos Brandon never delivered to them (the photos they are still waiting for 9 months later and have given up on!)
or
B) asking if I'm available to come to shoot their upcoming wedding as a backup in case Brandon doesn't show because he's not responding to their messages and they are panicked

I'm heartbroken for these couples. It's a day they can't get back. How is this person still operating? I don't know. But this needs to be public knowledge because scamming people is absolutely unacceptable.

Worst wedding photographer/person in the KW/GTA area. Always has excuses as to why he cant show up to your wedding.. if your not the perfect 10/10 couple or famous he doesn't care about you or your wedding and will send someone else to shoot it or not show up at all. He also wont send you your photos until a year later with no communication

DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY, BRANDON TAYLOR PHOTOGRAPHY. You will be SO disappointed. I hired Brandon a year in advance because of his luxury style of photography. He told me if I paid in full that I would save $1000… being venerable and not realizing who he actually was.. I paid him in full. Months later we met in person and did a street style engagement shoot. He seemed like a nice guy, at the end of our engagement session he told me that he would reach out to us a week before our wedding to go over our wedding day. That week of our wedding we did not hear from Brandon, so I reached out multiple times. Our wedding coordinator also reached out to him. I received a text message from Brandon 3 days before our wedding stating he was stuck at a destination wedding and that he was going to try his best to make it on time, that his Partner Valerie would start and he would try to make it at the end. (I paid for 2 photographers.. from start to finish) not 1.. so I let him know that was unacceptable. He then stopped replying. I was panicking.. how was my morning get ready, and my husband morning get ready going to be covered with 1 photographer? In separate places? (Brandon said he’d be there at night) … the whole wedding ceremony would be missed?? So I called, texted and had my wedding coordinator reach out letting him know that I was upset and needed 2 photographers ALL DAY as that is what I paid for. Brandon spoke to my wedding coordinator the day before my wedding saying he found a back up and that I would have 2 photographers.. (did not speak with me) .. the day of my wedding we had 2 photographers .. they seemed like starter photographers.. not that luxury style photographer I originally paid for (Brandon) did not have the same gear as him (film) .. after all this was said and done.. the day after my wedding.. I FOUND OUT BRANDON WAS IN ELORA MILLS.. 1 hour away from my wedding venue… SHOOTING ANOTHER WEDDING. He double booked himself?? And I got the short end of the stick… what made that brides wedding more important? I’ll never know… I let Brandon know that I was aware he wasn’t stuck at a destination wedding, that I found out he was at elora mills because of a tagged photo on instagram.. he quickly untagged himself from that photo… months later of me asking for my photos, and letting him know I was seeking legal advice he delivered TERRIBLE edited photos.. and all my raw photos… BRANDON NEEDS TO STOP DOING THIS TO COUPLES PAYING HIM 8-10k … DO NOT HIRE HIM, he’s done this over and over and over again to so many couples and unfortunately it happened to me. I regret ever choosing Brandon and his terrible business. I don’t even want to rate him a 1 star .. he doesn’t even deserve that. FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE… or be so disappointed.

Unfortunately, we hired Brandon in 2024 for our wedding in 2025 before learning about his questionable and disappointing business practices. We called him to voice our concerns and he gave us a phony speech about how he overbooked himself after Covid. After weeks of continuing to hear horror stories about him no-showing for weddings and sending 2nd shooters last minute (happening in real time as of Sept 2024), and taking far longer than indicated in his contract to get photos and videos back, we decided to let him go. He kept our deposit, which really stung as we hadn't even had our engagement session with him yet, but the relief of knowing we wouldn't have to worry about one of the most important vendors *showing up and doing their job* on our wedding day was worth it. Save yourself stress and don't hire this guy.
