In the realm of visual storytelling, a name echoes with a whisper of nostalgia and a promise of timeless elegance – Tailor James Photography. Step into this narrative, where moments are etched into the fabric of time with a profound reverence for the imperfect beauty that makes each story uniquely human.
"My journey into photography began with the birth of my first child," Tailor James reminisces, her voice tinged with the warmth of cherished memories. "It was a profound moment that sparked my appreciation for tangible memories. Since then, I've dedicated myself to capturing life's fleeting moments, recognizing the importance of preserving them for generations to come."
With over a decade of experience under her belt, Tailor's approach is a delicate dance between preparation and spontaneity. "I would describe my photography style as calm and detail-oriented," she explains. "I approach each shoot with meticulous preparation, ensuring every aspect is carefully considered. Additionally, I have a profound appreciation for the imperfections inherent in film photography, embracing them as part of the storytelling process."
Tailor's toolkit is a harmonious blend of cutting-edge digital cameras and an array of film cameras that utilize both 120 film and 35mm film. "I work with my film lab to ensure my images come back matching my desired aesthetic," she reveals, "and then blend the digitals in to match using Lightroom."
But her true artistry lies in her ability to weave narratives from the most fleeting of moments. "The ability to hold a story in my hands and deliver that to couples after their wedding or portrait session," is what she enjoys most in her profession. "There's a profound satisfaction in capturing moments that will be cherished for a lifetime and being able to present those memories in a tangible form."
Tailor's approach to working with clients is a symphony of collaboration and understanding. "I approach working with clients by being involved in the planning process, particularly in the timeline aspect, and understanding my couples' expectations," she explains. "By actively engaging with them, I ensure we allocate sufficient time for what matters most to them on the day. This collaborative approach allows me to tailor my services to their vision and ultimately achieve the desired outcome."
With a comfortable workload of 15-18 weddings per year and a typical coverage of 9 hours, Tailor offers bespoke packages tailored to each couple's unique needs. "We don't offer 'packages' per se," she clarifies. "We do everything a la carte style and talk it through with couples beforehand so we ensure they're hiring us for their needs exactly."
Tailor's artistry knows no boundaries. "I primarily focus on luxury events in Texas, Colorado, and Florida." Although, her passport is always ready!
In Tailor James Photography's world, every frame is a window to a moment that would have otherwise slipped through time's fingers – an invitation to rediscover the magic in the mundane and realize that your story, with all its quirks and stumbles, is a masterpiece waiting to be framed.
