about
Welcome to my blog! Although Crash Taylor would seem appropriate for an unlucky Formula 1 driver it does underline my goal, to CRASH the boundaries of the mundane and boring in wedding photography. As a result, I strive to capture those priceless moments shared by my clients, their families and guests on the magnificent day dedicated to their love and lifetime commitment. This blog is a pictorial journal of my daily journey in my professional and private life. As such it is a scenic mélange of my travels, with highlights from the wedding adventures and portraits I shoot. You could call it my own private digital photo album. It is my hope that this blog will provide vital insight to current and potential clients and maybe even inspire other photographers. Hopefully your visit has given you a candid view of the true "Crash" and thanks for dropping in. To view Nottingham Wedding Photographers Crash's website Wedding Photographers Nottingham

Jayne and Chris in New York | Wedding Photography by Crash Taylor



Last week I was in New York to photograph the wedding of Jayne and Chris and also visit my best friends. The wedding was awesome!  It was a very intimate affair consisting of 13 guests. The day started with a few bridal prep photos at the hotel before heading off to the chapel for the ceremony. After the ceremony, we all piled into a 20 person white Hummer limo and cruised around the city before heading to the restaurant. It was just what Jayne and Chris had hoped for and my hat goes off to them for planning such an awesome day from the UK.

  • Beautiful photos Crash. Great looking couple and the emotion is flowing.


  • Beautiful, creative photos! I love the one of the taxis whizzing past the couple!


  • Great work Smash! Loving the shot with the cabs passing and the b&w ones at the end. Inspiring, as always!

    Take care, Paul.


  • Excellent… Love the taxi shot .. Great shots


  • Love the shots of them in front of the brownstones & the night shots are awesome! :-)


  • Brilliant Photo’s, Crash Taylor sets a standard of photography that all other wedding photographers have to aspire to. Fantastic couple, fantastic day, fantastic week.


  • Oh my goodness, I LOVE these, Crash! What a lovely Bride and your images really convey her excitement and the fun they had. Particularly like the shot by the bikes, the one past the cab and running though the streets. Awesome set. x


  • Fantastic set of photographs. Love the night street scenes especially the one with the taxi and the other with the bokeh. Lovely images.


  • gorgeous work, Crash!


  • wow awesome~ such a happy day and happy couple~so in love~ amazing photographs~love the one of father and bride enetering the churchyard with the kid and the beauty sign in the background~ what a fab restaurant-looks like a beautiful wedding day~well done again


  • I love these images Crash, just gorgeous what an amazing place for a wedding!
    especially love the evening street shots.


  • Crash – Great storytelling with the all important wedding day emotion, your the MAN!


  • I love NY and you have totally captured the essence of what NY is all about. These made me smile from ear to ear :) I love the night time ones with the motion and the taxis and I adore the ones of the B&G where they are laughing – such amazing emotion captured.


  • Lovely photos. The photo with the Chase sign in the background is beautiful!


  • They say you’re getting old when police officers start to look young, so I was more than a bit shocked to see image No 13. The NYPD are recruiting really young this season :) The city street shots qualify like most of yours as IWITT (I Wish I’d Taken That). I did a few images out there at a disability discrimination case I was fighting for a firefighter in the FDNY. We won the case and I took pictures of him with the twin towers landmark behind. Almost immediately after his return to unrestricted duties post diagnosis with diabetes, he was on duty – the date? September 11th 2001. Thankfully he survived the attack. This whole 10th anniversary is having quite a profound affect on our colleagues in the various fire departments around the world. Moving on for many has been quite tough – understandably. It s therefore so lovely to see images of New York with two people clearly in love and enjoying the time of their lives and no focus on anything else. As always you have captured them perfectly Crash.

    what a beauty the sheer delight of the couple and all their guests really shines through the pictures. The simplicity of everything makes it that we all wish we could have been packed up along with the Jimmy Choos.


  • Fantastic photos, Jayne you look beautiful. You both look so happy xxxx


  • Love the photos absolutely beautiful, some stunning pictures there that look like they have just jumped out of a magazine.


  • Lovely images, I’m sure they were amazed with your work.


  • As always, a great set of images. Cool mood captured throughout.


  • Lovely images, they have a Simon & Garfunkel feel about them.


  • Lovely work Crash. Really like the speech shots across the table and the fun on the street afterwards. Nice work :-)


  • They are so happy! Wonderful photos, as usual :D
