Drew & Aileen Taylor

aileen stewart photography started out in 1990 and has grown from an initial small venture to an established family run business. with drive, determination and an unending passion to change the face of photography from the static impersonalised portraits and weddings of the past, aileen and I oversaw the building of a purpose built studio complex. our studio constantly played host to a wide range of fun, from wind surf kites to canoes, full sized trampolines, shoe wardrobes, (we challenge our customers to surprise us!), drum kits, day old babies, wedding parties, bubbles, space hoppers, thunderbirds, toy collections, flowers, even a grand total of 33 members of one family, (think this was our maximum! we squeezed the last wee ones in) who were able to be photographed together. we pioneered the white background and spontaneous portraits; we invented the 'storybook' wedding albums and the 'ShadowGap' TM frame range. in 2011 on our 21st birthday, knowing the high standards our customers set and always understanding that we have to aim high to provide a service worthy of our reputation, we recognised that it was time to move on into a new era. after years of being locked in the studio aileen and i took all our boundaries away and took our photography out to our customers. so today, take us to where is special to you, be it your home, beach, forest, or track. we love to capture your precious moments in time, photographing your family doing what you do best, having fun personal time together. quite simply, whatever makes your family special, unique and together is important to us. this will reflect in the one off, bespoke, finished portraits (and weddings too), which are personal only to your family. designed for you and by you, for you to enjoy proudly in your home, after all we have the next generation to photograph and look after now too... looking forward to meeting you soon, drew & aileen taylor...
