Your wedding photographer is the most personal vendor you book. I’m there when you put on your dress, when you see each other for the first time, and by your side all day. You allow me into this vulnerable space surrounded by your favorite people, and I don’t take that lightly. So let’s do the damn thing and make it the best day of your life, while I photograph all the good shit for you to look back on for years to come.
SO YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED. HELL YEAH!
how many hours is standard?
You don't have to follow what is "standard" just like you don't have to do a bouquet or garter toss if you don't want to. Often times you'll hear the magic number is 8 hours + a second shooter. And I can't tell you the last time I photographed an 8 hour wedding with a 2nd photographer. My sweet spot is 6 hours. Fill out my contact form and we can talk more about why I think this.
What is your style?
In the photography world, there is a lot of trends, just like you'll see in fashion and hair styles. I really try to avoid those at all costs. My photography style can be described as bold and true to life. I want you to look back on your photos and feel like you're looking through a window, reliving the day as it was - not how your photographer's editing style was that year. My goal isn't to be on the cover of some wedding magazine, it's to give you the best damn photos you've ever had in your family photo album. These photos are for YOU, not for me.
Can I see a full gallery?
YES! Absolutely. And I encourage you to ask every photographer you inquire with this question. If you scroll down on this page you will see mini galleries of weddings. When you fill out an inquiry form and we setup our consult, I can send you as many full galleries as you want! I often will try to pull galleries that may fit the wedding aesthetic you're having, like location or style.
FAQ's quickly answered
While photographing my client's weddings this past year, I realized I was taking a lot of behind the scenes video on my phone. While I was able to use it for my own social media, the joy my client's had when they received a variety of small video snippets throughout their wedding day was priceless.
So often it's just me and the couple during the first look, or during their couple portraits. So by taking these videos, you're able to relive a moment no one else saw, or have that social media post for the next day celebrating your marriage. It's a fun little addition to your day that you get right away.
Have you thought about your wedding day and wished you'd have some fun videos to share to social media? Maybe enough to make a fun reel to share the next day? Well that's where I come in.

SO WHAT'S WITH THE POLAROIDS?
I know we all have seen an old photo of our parents wedding day, or our grandparents as a young child, and there is something so beautiful about seeing those past memories preserved in such a real way. So I take that mindset with me to each wedding day, to document every wedding authentically and beautifully for generations to cherish years to come.
So as a bonus for all of my couples, I will leave you with a few polaroids at the end of the night!
"LOVE. MY SECOND FAVORITE FOUR LETTER WORD."
Hailey
"After our initial meeting with Hailey, we knew she was the one to photograph our special day."
"She was very personable and we really liked her photography style. On our wedding day, not only was Hailey our photographer, she also acted as a wedding coordinator and kept us and all of our vendors on track with the timeline. Hailey has a great eye for photography and every photo that we received from her shows her talent and dedication to photography. We are so happy with our wedding photos and we will cherish them for a lifetime."
-Amelia
"Hailey is remarkable. She’s so kind, friendly, professional, organized, creative, talented and overall spectacular."
"She has a way to capture all the feelings of such an emotional day — the laughter, tears, joys and excitement — that just amplify the beauty of her shots. We’re in awe of everything she’s done for our engagement and wedding, and incredibly thankful we found her. We highly recommend Hailey for not only a stunning documentation of life’s milestones, but also a very memorable and fun time. It wouldn’t have been the same without you, Hailey! See you when we have babies :)"
- Monica
"Hailey was amazing. She went above and beyond for our wedding."
"The photos we received were stellar and I can't be more happy. She's easy going and professional. If you worry about your wedding day, she will not be part of your stress, she will make the photo experience fun and easy while giving you a 10 out of 10 return on your pictures."
