“Hailey has a knack for capturing special moments between a couple rather than scripting poses. If you need some guidance, she provides just enough direction to create intimacy while still allowing it to be fun and comfortable, and as if there isn’t a camera documenting your every move.” —Caitlinn + Lorrick

“Hailey’s use of light is absolutely beautiful. Her images focus on emotion; she’ll direct you enough to make sure you look wonderful, all while keeping her approach subtle and natural to keep you feeling comfortable and candid. Every time we look through our photos, we notice a new detail captured that makes us reminisce and fall in love all over again.” —Christina + Anna

“We are both somewhat awkward when taking photos but Hailey made the entire process flow seamlessly. She directed us when we needed it (often), but also caught us in the most real moments. She was professional, innovative, easygoing, and we honestly had so much fun!” —Rachel + Matt

“Hailey is not only a talented photographer, she’s a wonderful human being! When choosing a wedding photographer, their style and technical ability is important, but so is their personality. On your wedding day, you’ll spend almost as much time with your photographer as you will with your new spouse. Hailey is just a really nice person to be around. As a wedding planner, I work with a lot of wedding photographers, and Hailey is one of my favorites! Couples can relax and be themselves with Hailey behind the camera, and that comes through in the photos. And the photos are gorgeous! I see literally thousands of wedding photos every year, and Hailey’s work is a cut above the rest. You will be so happy if you hire Hailey to be your wedding photographer, and you will cherish those photos for a lifetime!” —Risa Weaver-Enion

Our photographer-client relationship reaches far beyond the wedding itself. In the months leading up to the big day, I’ll be by your side with questionnaires, timeline advice, and vendor referrals in hand. I’m here for the photos, yes, but I’m also here as your resource for all things wedding. With 11 years of experience in the wedding industry and hundreds of weddings under my belt, I’ve got lessons learned and plenty of hard-earned knowledge to share!
