northern california wedding photographer
est. 2012
Wedding photography should be, first and foremost, about the honest story of a couple’s day. Cheeks kissed, heirloom gifts exchanged, sweet words whispered. For the most part I’ll be in the background, documenting the day as it candidly unfolds. When it comes time for portraits, I’ll place you in the best light and ask you to squeeze close together; to hold each other as you would if no one else was around; to bring her face close to yours and to wrap your arms around his waist; to soak up these minutes alone before you’re surrounded by celebration for the rest of the night.

dress-bustler, your boutenniere-pinner, your snack-fetcher, your coordinator’s right-hand girl, and your calm amid the chaos.
You focus on celebrating; I'll focus on photographing and problem-solving and keeping your timeline flowing.
you, present
When you're looking back on your photos with future generations, I want you to remember not just how the day looked, but how it felt.
photos that make you feel
My goal is to limit my impact on the organic moments; I'm there to document the day as it naturally happens.

Hailey made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera, despite us both thinking we would be horrible at posing. Our wedding was on a VERY hot day and she got through all of our portraits, wedding party, and family photos in an extremely efficient manner without compromising on quality or quantity.
My dad said it best: "These photos are beautiful! Your photographer and her crew are exceptional. The storyboard they created captured everything so well. The photographers have an exceptional ability to capture emotions, feelings and relationships right in the moment!"

and other kind words
Hailey was so protective of our time on our wedding day. She worked with our families so well while also prioritizing the photos we wanted and portraits of just the two of us. She was great about blending in during both the ceremony and reception, so the camera was never intruding on the moment. (In fact, we have some photos now where, at the time, we didn't even realize Hailey was there to capture it!) She also flowed with our other vendors so seamlessly and had such a great handle on everything that I never felt like I had to worry about photos.
We love Hailey! As a professional wedding planner, we work with a lot of photographers. The good, the bad, and the in between. Hailey stands among the best. Every wedding we've done together she is kind, collected, and so caring for her couples! Not only does she take beautiful photographs but she is professional with a timeline (as a wedding pro that is KEY!) She knows when to get a good photo, when to get a candid and also when to let you be and enjoy your guests. And that in my opinion sets the best apart. Absolutely adore any wedding we get to work together.
