Meet Taylor May

I bring a bit of duality to my work: part meticulous observer, part playful artist. My background in neuroscience and technology sharpened my eye for detail and precision, but my love for storytelling pulls me toward the unpolished, the spontaneous, the in-between. I thrive in the balance—between structured and free-flowing, between classic and unexpected.

I live in Knoxville, TN, with my spouse and our wonderful dogs. I photograph locally but I’m always up for an adventure—whether that’s a destination wedding, a road trip session, or just a weirdly good idea we decide to bring to life.

More than anything, I want your photos to feel like you. Not just beautiful, but honest. Not just timeless, but full of life. So let’s ditch the stiff and the predictable. Let’s make something real. Something a little magical. Something that, years from now, still makes you feel exactly what it felt like to be there.


My husband and I love to play music and sing together — so here we are doing that at our wedding.
