Planning a wedding, being in front of the camera—it’s A LOT to process. I’ve been there! And you know what? I use my experience to guide my couples!
As your editorial destination wedding photographer, your time with me will be effortless and fun. You will get to enjoy your day, the images we capture, and the process leading up to your celebration. Cocktail hour? Go! Have fun! Be with your people! The little details you obsessed over? We are capturing it all. Not sure how to put together a timeline? I’ve got it already taken care of!
Trust me, you’re going to have a lovely time, and your photos? They’ll absolutely reflect that energy! That’s what we want after all right?
I understand how weddings flow, and I focus on building a personal connection with every couple. I’m here as your guide, your support, your friend…why? Because you deserve to enjoy your day while I document it as it naturally unfolds.
Wedding planning? Stressful. Your wedding photography experience? It doesn’t have to be! Whether you're celebrating in Charleston, Chicago, or a destination near or far—I'm down! (Destination wedding photography is my speciality!) My goal is to help you feel relaxed and focused on what truly matters—each other.
My approach blends the best of both worlds. I primarily shoot digital but use film wedding photography as a little fun bonus. Something about those quick, raw moments and true-to-life colors with a creamy, rich feel adds that extra touch of magic to your gallery.
My HMP couples are my priority. They are promised my full focus, attention to every detail, and dedication to ensuring they feel comfortable and present—fully enjoying every moment as it unfolds.
A complimentary engagement session to get to know you and your partner
Lifetime access to your online gallery
Expert planning guidance
Digital + film chic wedding photography that tells your love story
A personalized experience with connection, ensuring your photos feel authentic and true to you
A customized wedding photography collection tailored to your wedding day and needs
That moment you make it official? The happy dancing begins! But my focus goes beyond just your wedding day—I’m here to make the entire experience INCREDIBLE.
How do we capture those heartfelt moments in real time? Personal connection. I’m not just your photographer; I’m a friend who makes everything feel natural and fun. Whether we bond over Taylor Swift, our pets, or something else, that connection is what creates true comfort so you can be fully present and enjoy every moment.
And in the blink of a crinkling eye, your day is over. (P.S. Wedding blues are real—just a little heads-up!) But investing in wedding imagery? Priceless.
Especially when it’s with someone who truly understands your story and vision. Your photos will bring you right back to every emotion, every detail, and every unforgettable moment.
"She is so much more than just a photographer—she’s your hype woman, your timeline creator, and a calming presence throughout the wedding planning process. From day one, she took the time to understand our vision, making sure every detail was captured beautifully. On our wedding day, Hayley made us feel like the most important people in the world. She helped us feel natural in front of the camera, which resulted in the most breathtaking, authentic photos. Her attention to detail is unmatched, and her ability to capture the magic of the day is truly a gift."

"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!"

"Randomly stumbling upon Hayley one day and deciding to book her as our wedding photographer was easily one of the best choices we’ve ever made. From day one, she went above and beyond any of our prior expectations and truly became so much more than just our photographer. She puts so much thought, love, and consideration into everything she does. Not to mention, the images of our wedding day are so incredible and they take me right back to that day every time. What more could anyone want when they look back on one of the most special days of their lives. Hayley is truly so talented and such a special person and I will 100% be using her services in the future."
