I’m a videographer, born and rooted on the North Shore of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. With a background in global storytelling and years spent capturing life both above and below the surface, I bring a distinct perspective to documenting meaningful narratives — from wild adventures to deeply personal love stories.
At heart, I live simply. I’m most at peace in the ocean, I’m a dog person (and now, thanks to Tay, a cat person too), and I feel most alive outdoors. At 19, I completed the John Muir Trail — an experience that deepened my appreciation for nature’s quiet beauty and the stories waiting to be told within it.

We found Taylor through our dear friend, who is also a photographer. It only took us a few minutes of scrolling through Taylor's Instagram and website to realize we loved her! Light, airy, fun, but still very romantic. My husband and I have been living in Hawaii for a few years now, and recognize that not everyone works with the best interest of the island in mind, which is why we wanted to hire someone who is not only an excellent photographer, but also has a deep care and understanding for Hawaii: its culture, its people, its history, and its nature. Cobian and Taylor were the embodiment of what we were looking for! Not only was Taylor responsive and friendly, she was flexible (even though I know she's super busy), and even created a package that suited our needs when we explained to her our situation. After our initial video call we felt like we were talking to a friend, and every interaction after that was seamless.
Taylor helped us find a location that fit our sunset wedding and the "vibe" we were going for. She gave us a few options and walked us through the pros and cons of each. Taylor and our officiant have also worked together in the past, which made wedding day a lot less stressful. Not only did Taylor and Cobian do a beautiful job on capturing the emotions and smiles on our big day, they never once made us feel like we were asking too many questions or were a burden. I would pick Taylor and Cobian over and over again if I could and can't speak highly enough of them!

As ocean explorers and underwater visual storytellers, the sea and these islands hold deep meaning for us. Our connection to this place runs far beyond the surface — we regularly take part in reef and beach cleanups, sustainably fish for our own food, and live in rhythm with the natural world around us. With every wedding or elopement we document, we honor that connection by adopting a coral in our couple’s name — a small but meaningful way to give back to the ocean that gives us so much.
