Hey! I’m so glad you found me!
Earth lover, cat mom, plant hoarder, & film junkie.
The mountains are where my spirit soars. My bags are always packed for the next adventure, and I have big plans to see the whole world. I believe that love is love, black lives matter, and I care deeply about protecting our beautiful planet.
You’re probably like me, drawn to the outdoors and exploring new places any chance you can. You hunger for experience, and thirst for surprise. You and your partner envision your wedding day to be an exciting and unforgettable day that caters to your unique interests. Well, you’re in luck because I’m your new best friend.
i always felt a calling to the mountains.
I first came to Colorado at 7 years old. I knew I had to live here someday. Eventually I landed a job taking photos at Breckenridge Ski Resort, and that’s when the sparks flew. It finally seemed possible for me to turn my biggest passion into a career. Fast forward to now, living my best life in my 30s in Salida and escaping to the mountains whenever I can, where I love to camp, hike, paddle board, stargaze, drink some craft beers, and just revel in the beauty of this place.
The most important thing about choosing a wedding photographer is that you and your partner vibe with them. I’m not just here to create beautiful images, but a fun and easy experience. My main goal is that you are having the best day EVER. We’ll have a blast doing all the things you want to do in places you’ve always dreamed of going. If you book with me, you’re making a new friend, and you’re going to be taken care of like family!
What people are saying
“I just got back from Iceland, and to say this trip was a blessing is an understatement…
We worked together building a plan for a few months and when the day finally came, Malina knew exactly what type of look I was going for and captured it perfectly. Every step of the way she was helpful, reassuring, providing guidance with posing, as well as producing organic and true emotion from both me and my husband. She’s super easy to work with and the whole day was so much fun. She’s relaxed and easy going while also having a plan for her shots. You can tell she really loves what she does…
Malina is the full package as a photographer, as she even did our flowers! She shipped them over and they were in perfect condition. We went with fake flowers so they would survive it all in Iceland, and at least six people approached me in the airport, including customs, thinking they were real!! The trip was absolutely magical and Malina made it easy and memorable. I highly recommend Malina for your elopement destination wedding! Or truly any wedding!”

“Malina Taylor Photography is a whole vibe, a great experience, and a generator for creating the best memories. We hired Malina to take photos of our elopement. When we told her we had dreams to go to the top of a mountain in Colorado, in December, she was not only excited about this adventure, she had key pieces of advice to share to make the day just that much better. Malina is an expert in her craft and we were so happy with the finished products to share with our family.”

“Working with Malina was absolutely great. She made the process flow smoothly and immediately put my partner and I at ease. Her positive attitude definitely rubbed off on us. The photos turned out beautifully and I felt that she really captured the emotion and love between us. One of my favorite things about her photography was the black and white film.”

“Malina did such an amazing job not only shooting my wedding, but also with my boudoir shoot prior to my wedding. She is professional yet super fun to work with. Her pictures came out stunning. When I got the gallery back it was like going back in time to the best weekend of my life. I laughed and I cried and it was just amazing. She captured all of the big important moments as well as the small intimate details that go into planning a wedding. My guests had nothing but good things to say about her as well. You can tell she really loves what she does and pours her heart into her shoots! I would recommend Malina to anyone I know for all things photography!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer than Malina. Her chill and non-invasive method of capturing every aspect of the day was amazing. She managed to get, and keep together, our entire 16 person wedding party and get the most beautiful pictures without any issue. She also took the absolute best candid pictures of the reception and getting ready. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to have a stress free and relaxing photography experience!”

“Malina did the most incredible job and my husband and I love looking back at our photos to remember our special day! I knew immediately that I wanted her as our photographer after seeing her work from another friend’s wedding. She had seemingly endless ideas for creative photos while I got ready with my bridesmaids and she found the best locations around our venue with our family and friends. She has the most easygoing personality and listened to what my husband and I were looking for in our photos. All the photos were very artistically and professionally shot and I would 100% recommend her to everyone!!”
