Brooke Taelor is a Houston-based, international wedding photographer known for work that is emotionally grounded and alive. Her photographs reflect a long-standing attentiveness to people and place, shaped by lived experience and an instinct for moments that hold meaning over time.

Her work has been featured in People (print), Carats & Cake, The Friend Club, and Rocky Mountain Bride, and was named Best Wedding in the 2018 Junebug Weddings Readers’ Choice Awards—an early signal of a practice rooted in intention and craft.

Before photography, Brooke worked in communications, where she developed a strong foundation in brand strategy, client relations, and professional execution. She graduated as the top scholar in her class from Texas State University, an academic grounding that continues to inform the rigor, clarity, and care she brings to her work today.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work begins with attention. I believe the way we experience the world shapes the way we see others. I approach each wedding with the belief that we are, in many ways, mirrors of one another—shaped by shared longing, love, and vulnerability. Every story I photograph offers something in return, refining the way I see and deepening my understanding of connection.

My wedding galleries are collections of interrelated scenes—small gestures, quiet exchanges, shifts in light, and a color story that ties each moment to another. These are the elements that give a wedding its emotional depth and artistic feel.

I photograph with the final form in mind. The book held in hands. The print resting in a frame. The image living in a room rather than on a screen. Each photograph is made with an awareness of scale, material, and permanence—how it will be experienced physically, and how it will endure.
