hey there!
howdy!
I’m Haley and I am not a writer. I feel the most like myself when I able to channel my creativity and serve others…through photos.
I’ve always been toying around with a camera. For as long as I can remember I’ve been documenting my life and the world around me through pictures. I’ve had a handful of family, teachers, friends, and other photographers that have all played a role in getting me to shoot professionally. And now the fact that I get to use this gift and share it with people celebrating some of their best moments is beyond an honor.
Surrounding your wedding, the big moments are the ones you know you want captured to print and hang in your home. But it’s the small moments that get you there, and I’d argue that those are just as print worthy. The ones that bring back the feeling. The ones that show it, as it was. The ones I couldn’t make up or pose if I tried.
At the end of the day my couples aren’t models, and I’m not asking you to be. I want you to come as you are, real people in love with each other, and giddy to begin a life together.
I’m here to honestly and holistically document your day through thoughtful imagery, as a storyteller. But like I said, I’m not a writer.
things that make me happy:
the color yellow, matcha, spending all day outside, my cowboy hat tattoo, rock climbing, valentine’s day, jumping into cold water, tiny boxwood’s cookies, good film grain, mailing letters, aperol and hugo spritzes, warm sun, honey on pizza, buying flowers, lists, aspen trees in the fall, mango margaritas, olivia rodrigo, golden hour, celebrating birthdays, hosting

I am so thankful for the gift of color. I love to shoot on film because I believe it captures color the way our eyes see it. You hand picked each color to be featured on your big day — every flower, every bridesmaids dress, and even the ink on every name card. I want you to be able to look back on your wedding photos for years to come and relive each detail as it was, true to color.

Sunshine is one of my favorite things. My favorite color since I was old enough to recognize them has always been yellow. Even “off the clock” I hunt for good light, am guaranteed to be outside whenever the UV is over 7, and am a sucker for deep golds and oranges that come pouring in from the sun at the end of the day – I haven’t found anything else that makes me quite as giddy. The natural drama that comes with thick light and harsh shadows is hard to replicate. So yes, I’ll ask you to “stop right there because the light is just too good!”
Enough about me…

If you need a little more convincing, here are some galleries from recent weddings, full of real, honest moments., from the start to the end of the day. Each gallery is different from the next, just like your day will vary from them. What stays the same is my priority to capture photos that are time capsules of your day, true to color, and encompassing of the feeling you experienced when it all went down. You can’t pose a candid moment, and I won’t make you! Running on a balance of instinct and restraint, I’ll holistically document the big and small moments of your wedding celebration on film and digital mediums,
