Your wedding photographer is basically your third wheel for the day—but in the best way. I'm there for the quiet moments, the loud ones, the first looks, and the last shots. You’re inviting me into your inner circle, and I don’t take that lightly. So let’s do this thing—I'll capture all the good shit while you live it up and have the best damn day of your life.
SO YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED. HELL YEAH!
What is your style?
Photography, like fashion and hair, goes through trends—but I steer clear of that mess. My style is bold, true to life, and built to last. I want your photos to feel like a window back to the real moments—not a filtered trend from whatever editing style was hot that year. I'm not here to make magazine covers. I'm here to give you the best damn photos your family album's ever seen. These photos aren’t for my portfolio—they’re for you.
how many hours is standard?
You don’t have to do what’s “standard.” Skip the bouquet toss, ditch the garter toss—same goes for that whole “8 hours with a second shooter” thing. Honestly? I can’t remember the last time I did an 8-hour wedding with a second photographer. My sweet spot? Six solid hours. Hit up my contact form and let’s chat about why that might be the perfect fit for you too.
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.

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."

"my husband and I both knew immediately that she was the one."
"I posted an ISO for a photographer on a wedding group and got tons of responses. We ended up going with Archer Inspired Photography. Our zoom interview with Hailey was the first, but my husband and I both knew immediately that she was the one. Her photography style aligned with our wants and her personality just clicked with us. Her pricing was fair and the proof is in the photos. She's a pro, walks you through the whole thing, and doesn't try to convince you you need a package you don't."
