We couldn’t be happier with Hayley as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met her, she made us feel completely at ease, which was so important on our big day. Her amazing personality and warm energy helped create a relaxed atmosphere that allowed us to enjoy every moment.

The photos she captured are absolutely stunning! Each shot tells our story beautifully, and we’ve received countless compliments from family and friends. Hayley truly has an eye for detail and a talent for capturing the emotions of the day.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also a joy to work with, book with Hayley! We highly recommend her and can’t thank her enough for the beautiful memories she created for us.

Thank you again Hayley!

Working with Hayley has been an absolute dream! Her exceptional photography skills not only beautifully captured the visual essence of our love but also managed to capture how our love feels. Every time I glance at her photos, it feels like I'm reliving our proposal – I still haven't looked at them without crying because of how purely in the moment her photos allow me to feel.

Hayley's photography style is enchanting. She has an infectious positive energy that allowed us to feel instantly comfortable in front of her camera. Her photography was not just about capturing perfect shots, but also about having fun, embracing movement, and laughing, making the entire experience enjoyable. She struck the perfect balance between guiding us for perfect moments and allowing us to be ourselves, allowing the photos to feel natural, unposed and genuine.

From the moment my fiancé reached out to Hayley to plan the surprise proposal in Tofino, her kindness, flexibility, and excellent communication stood out. She went above and beyond by coordinating seamlessly with him and even arranged for someone to film the proposal, adding an extra layer of magic to the moment.

The fact that Hayley sent us stunning sneak peek photos within an hour of the proposal speaks volumes about her dedication and efficiency. We were able to share these beautiful moments with our friends and family almost immediately, which was so special.

Hayley's passion for her work is evident in every interaction and, most importantly, in the incredible photos she produces. Her warm and excited energy instantly puts you at ease, turning a photoshoot into a memorable experience. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Hayley as our photographer, and we can't thank her enough for creating lasting memories that we'll cherish forever.
We are absolutely hoping to have Hayley photograph our wedding, as we wouldn’t want to trust capturing such an important day to anyone else!

My husband and I could not have been happier that we went with Hayley as our wedding photographer. Hayley was SO professional, made us feel super at ease (which is saying something because our wedding was our first time having a couples photoshoot), and we LOVED how the photos turned out. We also went with the option for iPhone video clips to be taken by one of her team members, which was perfect for us as it was a lower cost option than a full wedding video but we still get to look back on our wedding with more than just stills. We would absolutely recommend Hayley as a wedding photographer!

We recently had Hayley do our maternity photoshoot at Morrell Nature Sanctuary. She did our wedding photos and video previously. It was the exact same experience as before, it's the easiest choice to make when deciding who to capture these important moments. Hayley brings a very warm and professional energy. She scouted ahead before we arrived and found spots she knew would look great. We didn't get lead through any awkward positions and forced smiles. Everything about both our experiences with Hayley has been easy and effortless, she is incredible. Once again we love the photos, and look forward to having her capture our little one's smile in the future!

I’ve worked as a second shooter for several of Victorias notable wedding photographers, and can confirm that the way Hayley works and connects with her couples is on a different level. Getting to know someone in a short amount of time while simultaneously making them feel natural in front of the camera is a true art, and Hayley has mastered it. As a photographer, I will forever be in awe of how she works so effortlessly, yet produces such incredible images.

I knew I wanted Hayley to shoot my wedding before I was even engaged - call me crazy, but her work is that good. Her photos are timeless and look beautiful printed and hung up, which was a big part of what drew me to her style. She was also a joy to spend the day with, and captured the energy of our big day flawlessly. If you're considering hiring her, just do it.

Hayley is absolutely amazing to work with. We did our engagement shoot and wedding day with her.From her initial consultation to our wedding day, communication with her was clear and consistent.
We are not photogenic people and Hayley made us feel so at ease on both of our days. She was able to capture every important moment on our wedding day. Her and her videographer Matty were amazing on our wedding day. We got many compliments about how friendly they both were from our guests. They were also great with our dogs.
Hayley puts so much effort into scouting locations and getting the best shots.
Her contract was quite clear, we had a 4 month turn around for our photos and videos. I appreciated vendors who are easy to work with live up to expectations.
Hayley went above and beyond any expectations we had. She is absolute amazing to work with and we would book her again in a heartbeat!

I found Hayley on social media back in 2021 and knew I had to book her! In 2022 we eloped on the island and she captured ‘US!’ We were so comfortable; the photos are natural and stunning! I’m still obsessed with them. Now two years later we just did family photos with our 4 month old (not really easy to capture photos of a 4 month old) and once again we were left flipping through each photo with our jaws dropped. We have so many amazing photos, again so naturally!!! I can’t wait to book with her again. There is now no one else I trust to capture my family as beautifully as Hayley. Such a pleasure to work with!
