Elopement Photographer Brand & Website Design

Cinematic, Adventurous, and Unapologetically Taylor Made.

When Taylor first reached out about elevating her brand, she knew she was on the edge of something bigger. She was ready to step out of the “DIY era” and into a fully custom brand and Showit website design that finally reflected the cinematic, adventurous, and intentional art she creates.

Taylor Made Photo has been capturing love stories since 2019, but this rebrand marked a turning point, the moment where she stepped into her next-level identity as a Colorado adventure elopement photographer serving couples who crave wild experiences, emotional storytelling, and a wedding day that feels like them.

And from the first call, I knew this project was going to be special.

We didn’t just connect professionally, we bonded over books, life, creative burnout, and of course… Twilight. (It wouldn’t be us without at least one Jacob vs. Edward debate.) Team Jacob for life! Taylor was one of the easiest, most effortless clients I’ve ever worked with. Our styles aligned, our senses of humor matched, and we had the exact same vision for where her brand could go.

This entire project unfolded like a collaboration with a friend, not a transaction — and that’s the heart behind this new brand.

Custom Branding for a Colorado Adventure Elopement Photographer

A Soft-Luxe Blend of Cinematic Romance & Wild Mountain Air

Taylor’s brand needed to feel like her photography:
adventurous, cinematic, and deeply intentional with a softness woven into every detail.

Her clients aren’t traditional. They’re travelers, feelers, hikers, lovers of sunsets and stolen moments. They want an elopement experience that feels more like a story than a schedule.
Her branding had to speak to them instantly.

The Foundation of the Brand was Built on Three Core Themes:

Adventurous

Inspired by the rugged beauty of Colorado landscapes, hiking boots, lanterns, and coordinates that mark real places in her work.

Cinematic

Vintage-inspired typography, moody contrast, and imagery that feels like film stills.

Intentional

Every piece of her visual identity holds meaning, from the crest symbol to the timeless serif fonts to the soft, earthy palette.

Color Palette: Soft Luxe Meets Mountain Romance

Her brand colors are warm, grounded, and cinematic rich browns, muted greens, deep charcoal, and soft creams. They’re the kind of tones that whisper luxury without trying too hard.

Custom Illustrations

My favorite part: the bespoke icon set –
Her boots, lantern, frames, stamps, and more are each hand-selected to elevate authenticity and make the website feel collected, personal, and lived-in.

This brand was built to move with her all the way from Colorado peaks to destination elopements around the world.

Showit Website Design for a Cinematic Adventure Elopement Photographer

Clean, Luxe, Easy to Navigate. But with Heart

Taylor needed a website that didn’t just tell people what she does, it needed to feel like her.

I wanted every visitor to sense the experience of working with her:
calm but adventurous, luxe but approachable, emotional but not dramatic.

What the Website Needed to Do

Connect instantly with her ideal client
Showcase her cinematic style through immersive galleries
Feel easy and intuitive to navigate
Highlight both adventure and romance
Put her personality front and center
Feel custom, elevated, and timeless (not a template)

My Favorite Parts of the Website

Her About Page –
It is so her. Honest, grounded, playful, and emotional in the best ways. The movement, the imagery, the mix of serif + script, it’s a perfect snapshot of her energy.

Her Homepage Flow –
The pacing is cinematic, built like a story. You scroll through chapters, not sections. Nothing feels rushed. Everything feels intentional.

The Movement –
Subtle animation, floating elements, layered imagery, it makes the site feel alive.

A Brand Transformation That Finally Matches Her Art

From DIY to elevated, cinematic, and unmistakably her.

This new brand + website gives Taylor:

More aligned inquiries
Higher-end elopement bookings
A clearer brand identity
A site that works for her (not against her)
A stronger presence in a saturated market
Actual SEO strategy
More time back in her life, now that she’s not designing everything herself

Most importantly, it helps her dream clients find her.
The couples who would hike a trail at sunrise, who care more about the experience than the guest count, and who want their photos to feel like memories, not poses.

Those couples will see themselves in this brand.

Final Thoughts: For the Wild Hearts, the Story Seekers, the Adventurous Romantics.

Designing this brand and website for Taylor Made Photo was one of the easiest, most fulfilling projects I’ve ever taken on. Not just because her art is truly breathtaking, soft luxe adventure meets romance, but because Taylor is truly one of the kindest, easiest humans to collaborate with.

When a designer and a photographer fall on the same wavelength, magic happens.
And this brand is the proof.

Taylor – thank you for trusting me with your vision.
For showing up so authentically.
And for all the Twilight conversations in between.

Here’s to the next chapter of Taylor Made Photo:
elevated, cinematic, intentional, and so deeply you.

P.S. If you get the Twilight reference in her tagline, you are our people.

– For the Unconditionally and Irrevocably in Love.
