Excellent Experience

Hayley was an excellent choice for our July 2023 wedding photography at the Vancouver Rowing Club and engagement photography at White Rock Pier. We are absolutely thrilled with how she captured the joy of the big day. She was a wonderful calming presence and made the entire wedding party (even the camera-shy groomsmen and our flower girl/Corgi) comfortable. She also provided the photos much sooner than anticipated! Highly recommend!

Hayley was the best decision - she's amazing

I spent so much time researching potential wedding photographers, and am so glad we ended up getting to work with Hayley! From the start, she was easy to communicate with, her work is amazing, and I knew she was the one. When we met her to take engagement photos, my now husband commented that he was actually more excited about the wedding because he felt so comfortable taking photos with her! A lot of time may pass in between engagement photos and the wedding, but Hayley was great with communication and understanding our needs for the wedding. I didn't have a lot of requirements or specifics in what I was looking for, and I fully trusted Hayley with her ideas and recommendations. I can't say how happy we were to work with her. She's a pleasure to be around and truly made our wedding weekend so much fun! I would highly recommend working with Hayley and hope we'll have the chance to do so again in the future!

Hayley is amazing!

I reached out to Hayley through a referral from one of her business partners, and right from the beginning she was personable, professional and had amazing suggestions and direction for me (I was super disorganised!!). Even though we didn't meet until the wedding day, as I am based on Vancouver Island, she kept in constant communication and I felt confident that all of our photo needs would be met. On the day, Hayley was great, super flexible, helped us with our preparation and ideas, and really got into the celebrations. She was also able to put some of the photos taken earlier into the day onto a slideshow so that guests could enjoy them later in the evening :) I would highly recommend Hayley, the sneak peek photos we have seen so far are truly beautiful and we can't wait to see the rest!!

One of the best decisions we’ve maid while planning the wedding!

Not only is Hayley incredibly pleasant and easy to work with, but she also helped us out a lot given that our entire photoshoot was outside in rainy weather. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!!

Professional, Lovely, Delightful to work with!

My husband and I couldn't have been happier with Hayley! After meeting with a few photographers, we knew Hayley was the perfect match for us. Her communication, organization, planning and professionalism was spot on from day one!

To be honest, my husband wasn't keen on being photographed - he's a little camera shy. When we met with Hayley on our engagement shoot, she knew right away what to say and where to look to have us laughing all day. Her familiarity with our engagement shoot location and venue location was excellent. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Her charisma and personality kept us feeling comfortable in front of the camera day on our wedding day and we (my husband especially) are VERY happy with the results.

On our wedding day, Hayley was very professional with our guests. She took photos of anyone who wanted them. She and her second photographer were very organized in rallying up all our relatives to take family photos. We were super happy that they were on schedule (even ahead at times) so we could enjoy cocktail hour with our guests before the reception. We REALLY appreciated the cards she made that included a link to our wedding photos for our guests to take home. It's small details like this that make your special day even better.

All in all, we would highly recommend Hayley as your photographer!

Highly recommend!

Hayley was so great to work with. She was the photographer for our wedding and she did such an amazing job. She makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable while and being so organized and professional at the same time. It was a pleasure to have her at our wedding. Also, the pictures turned out great (and I am very picky)! I would (and already have) recommend her to anyone getting married. A photographer ends up being such a big part of your day and it worth it to have someone you enjoy being around and who makes your day easier.

We couldn't be happier that we went with Hayley! She was professional, organized, and helped make our day fun too! Before the wedding she helped us to put together a timeline, and during the day she made sure to watch the clock to ensure that we didn't get behind. We are also thrilled with the photos, she took so many beautiful shots of the entire day which we can look back on and remember our wedding for years to come!

Yay! First review!

Hayley is a wonderful photographer and such a pleasant person to work with. She was recommended to us by a friend and we didn't regret it for a single moment. She is an extremely fun and outgoing person, while staying professional. She is very good at envisioning the photographs she wants (while keeping our own wants in mind) and is very good at giving instructions, to make each and every shot perfect.
Easy to get a hold of, she was extremely responsive with her emails, usually replying within the same day. She had quite a few suggestions on where to go to take the photos, and all the places she chose were perfect!
Hayley, and her secondary photographer Sarah, were amazing on the big day! They were punctual, and from the second she walked though the door, she was ready to work! She was also extremely helpful at keeping us in check with the time, letting us know how long each part of the photo sessions would take. She was right at home, feeling like part of the girls!

I absolutely recommend Hayley, you won't regret working with this wonderful and talented photographer!
