Your wedding day holds a lot. You deserve to be present and trust that the moments you care about are being noticed and captured without you having to think about it.
That’s where I come in. As your editorial destination wedding photographer, I guide the day with calm intention, anticipating what’s next and creating space for you to stay grounded in the experience. I capture the details you’ve thoughtfully curated and the in-between moments that make it all feel real, so your day unfolds beautifully and effortlessly around you.
Let’s take the stress out of photography and put the focus back on you.
Whether you're planning a celebration in Charleston, Chicago, or a destination far from home, I specialize in documenting weddings that feel refined, thoughtful, and deeply personal. While I primarily shoot digital, I also incorporate film wedding photography for a softer, more timeless perspective that adds depth and intention to your story.
From start to finish, my couples receive my full presence and care. I’m there to guide, support, and anticipate needs as they arise, so the experience feels calm, considered, and genuinely enjoyable.
A complimentary engagement session to build comfort and connection before the wedding day
Lifetime access to an online gallery, thoughtfully edited and easy to revisit
Planning support that helps the day flow smoothly without feeling rushed or overwhelming
A refined blend of chic wedding photography on digital and film, creating imagery that feels timeless and intentional
A connection-first approach to direction, so your photos feel natural, comfortable, and true to you
A custom-tailored wedding collection designed around your unique celebration and priorities
My commitment goes beyond simply capturing your wedding day. As an editorial destination wedding photographer, it’s about building a genuine connection, understanding your vision, and making every interaction feel effortless and enjoyable. Whether we bond over Taylor Swift, your pets, or the destination you’ve chosen to celebrate in, that relationship allows your photographs to reflect comfort, authenticity, and joy.
In what feels like a blink, the celebration is over. But your photographs are what remain. A reflection of everything you felt and everything you never want to forget.
That’s why working with someone who truly understands your story, vision, and energy makes all the difference.
Where do I even begin?! Hayley redefines what it means to go above and beyond. She is everything you could want in a photographer—creative, fun, incredibly organized, and wildly talented. From the moment we booked with Hayley, we knew we were in the best hands. She provided thoughtful planning resources, vendor recs, and advice whenever we needed it, she made us feel like we had a true friend in our corner throughout the entire process. Even though she’s (rightfully) booked with so many other couples, she makes you feel like her top priority at every single step. And her turnaround time—it’s unreal. We were blown away by how quickly we received sneak peeks (and full galleries!) without ever sacrificing quality. Every photo was stunning, edited beautifully, and delivered with so much care. She has a gift for noticing the little things—the in-between moments, the quiet glances, the happy tears. Her attention to detail is unmatched! We’ve received so many compliments on both the beauty of the photos and how delightful Hayley was to be around. She brought such calm, joyful energy to our day. We will forever be grateful for the way she captured this incredibly special time in our lives.

Hayley is absolutely incredible! Her photos look like they belong on a magazine cover. Every image is timeless, stunning, and full of emotion. She’s also one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, making you feel completely comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
On our wedding day, Hayley was such a calm, grounding presence. She helped keep us on schedule while still making everything feel relaxed and natural. She’s truly magic with her camera — every photo captures the joy and emotion of the day so perfectly, and they’re images we’ll treasure forever.
Hayley goes above and beyond to make sure you get the photos of your dreams. I can’t recommend her enough. She’s the kind of photographer who not only documents your day beautifully but makes the entire experience even more special.

There truly are no words to express how happy we were with our engagement and wedding photos!! Hayley made the day SO amazing and eased so much stress - the best decision we could have made. Everything was so so easy and she helped along the way in more ways than one - from helping pick photo spots for the engagement to answering any silly color scheme question I may have had! Hayley captured our wedding day better than I ever could have imagined and I will cherish our photos for a lifetime! Hayley goes above and beyond for her clients and it is very evident how much she puts into every single detail and nothing goes unnoticed! I would recommend Hayley A MILLION times over and I’m already excited to work with her again!!!!

"From the beginning, Hayley was extremely personable. Hayley ended up traveling to Texas for our engagement session! Hayley is so much more than just a photographer, but she is a friend!! She takes her job so incredibly seriously, but she has an amazing, big heart and pours that into her work and it shows! Seeing Hayley on our wedding day in our bridal suite brought so much calm over me. She was locked in and focused and totally in her element the entire day! Looking at our wedding photos, it felt like we were reliving our day and we are so grateful for that."

"As a wedding planner and coordinator, I have had the absolute PLEASURE of working with Hayley more than once. She is not only a fantastic photographer, but her communication with clients and vendors is superb. Her upbeat personality, ability to direct the wedding party, and absolute insane level of energy during the day-of, while still maintaining a calm energy are just a few things that we absolutely love about her. If you are looking for a vendor to not only kill it at what they do, but also gain a friend - Hayley is your girl!"
