The Superlatives
Jessica Griffis
Most Likely to Fix a Dress Emergency
Jessica is Taylor’s cousin, but truly more like a sister. Being only six months apart, the two have been inseparable since childhood, growing up side by side and sharing countless memories together. Jessica has always been someone Taylor looks up to, not only for her creativity but for her caring and supportive heart. She earns the title “Most Likely to Fix a Dress Emergency” because if you know Jessica, you know she can fix, craft, or create just about anything. From designing the couple’s wedding logo to creating Gracelynn’s birthday banner, her artistic talents shine in everything she does (she is an art teacher, after all!). Taylor feels incredibly lucky and blessed to have Jessica in her life, not only as family, but as a lifelong friend.
Haley West
Most Likely to Cry Before the Bride
Haley and Taylor have been best friends since the very day they met, a friendship that has now lasted more than 10 years. In high school, you rarely saw one without the other. Wednesdays meant walking to the Chinese restaurant before they could even drive, followed by Wednesday night church. Tuesdays were reserved for $5 movie nights, Saturdays meant mall trips and breakfast with Momma T, and for two years straight, they proudly held their title as first in line for the Victoria’s Secret Black Friday sale. Over the years, their friendship has grown right alongside them. Now both girl moms, they cherish their bond even more deeply as they navigate life, motherhood, and every season together. Haley isn’t just a best friend, she’s Taylor’s soul sister. Fair warning: Haley will most likely be crying happy tears all day long. If you see her emotional, just know it’s because she loves fiercely and someone should probably hand her a tissue. 🤍
Hailey Green
Most Likely to Start the Dance Floor
Hailey and Taylor have shared a friendship that spans more than 10 years. If you see them together, three things are guaranteed: they’re happy, they’re determined to have a good time, and they’ve probably just been in the car singing All Too Well (10 Minute Version) by Taylor Swift at full volume. Over the past decade, Hailey and Taylor have walked through every season of life. They’ve faced similar challenges, supported each other through difficult moments, and sometimes were the only ones who truly understood what the other was going through. Their friendship was built not only on fun memories but on loyalty, understanding, and unwavering support. (awwwww not me crying writing this) Three years ago, during a night out, Hailey casually mentioned she was moving to Kansas City and without hesitation, Taylor said she was coming too. Two weeks later, they moved into an apartment sight unseen and created some of their favorite memories together, proving that even grocery store runs could turn into an adventure. Now entering their bridal era together, Taylor cherishes getting to experience this season of life alongside Hailey. She feels incredibly blessed to have Hailey in her corner, a lifelong best friend.
Paige Hilt
Most Likely to Keep the Bride Calm
Paige and Taylor may not have gone to the same high school, but fate brought them together at the career center, and they almost instantly clicked. Their friendship has now lasted over 10 years, spanning college, moves to Florida, and back to Kansas City. Paige has been a constant in Taylor’s life, someone to rely on, share stories with, and laugh endlessly alongside. Taylor even took Paige to prom her junior year to show her how a bigger school celebrated and yes, the extra 40 people made all the difference! Back in the day, we would hang out and take “Tumblr style” photos honestly, neither of us probably even had Tumblr but we thought we were so cool. (We’re much cooler now, tbh.) Paige and Taylor regularly enjoy pedicures, shopping trips, and sharing all the “tea” in their lives. Paige’s adventurous, free spirited nature reminds Taylor to stay calm and enjoy the moment. Taylor is so grateful to have Paige as a lifelong friend… and maybe one day, Paige will convince her to travel to Mexico City here soon. Taylor can’t wait to celebrate this special day with Paige, as she has always been there for her.
Regan Deal
Most Likely to Capture the Best Candid Photos
Regan and Taylor’s friendship has blossomed over the past two years, yet it feels like they’ve known each other forever. Navigating motherhood together has brought them even closer, creating a bond full of laughter, support, and honesty. Regan is the friend Taylor can consistently share all her trash TV with, someone she can turn to for anything, whether to get a reality check or a cheer of encouragement. They talk every single day, and Taylor is hoping for a few park dates before Regan’s new baby arrives. Taylor feels so blessed to have met Regan through her maternity photography proving that sometimes clients become lifelong friends. Regan is not only a cherished friend but also someone Taylor can look to as a fellow mom, sharing the joys, challenges, and all the little moments in between. To be able to celebrate this moment in life with her is so special, as she has been nothing but supportive.
