I'm Hayley, a 20 something, mac & cheese obsessed, prairie living, and sunset loving lady. I grew up in small town Alberta right where prairie land met boreal forest and the hills rolled on for miles and miles and miles!
Wedding photography is my JAM. The bread and butter of my life if you will. I was encapsulated by the love stories and the little details couples make apart of their day that reflects them! Nobody is in a bad mood at a wedding, everyone from the couple to the guests are cheerful AF, I mean who does not want to be around joy ALLL DAY LONG?! I love completely immersing myself in your day. You can also catch me mingling with your guests and hearing how important you are to them, and getting down with your crazy drunken aunt on the dance floor.
When I’m not shooting, you can find me with a book in my hand, hanging out with my husband, or having wine and game nights with friends! I LOVE going out and trying new restaurants around Edmonton and I have perfected homemade pizza. so if you want some restaurant recommendations or pizza making tips I am your GAL!
A Little About Me
Not just a photographer, a visual storyteller for loved-up souls.
HI THERE, I'M hayley
HI THERE, I'M hayley
I am a natural extrovert which means I am AMPED to be around people! Give me the most in love couple, a rowdy wedding party, and lively family and guests and I can create all the magic in the world with my camera! Seeing your love and how everyone around you adores you makes my heart BURST with joy!
The outdoors inspires me. Whether it be gardening, BBQing, planting flowers, or going for walks, I LOVE being outside! I grab my inspiration from everyday life and being outdoors inspires the heck out of me. The way the long grass bends in the wind. how a lake is like glass in the evening, or how buildings downtown scrape the sky.
My style is earthy, nostalgic and candid. I want your images to remind you of looking through your grandparents old photo albums. Most importantly I want you to sit back and have photos in your hand that help you relive your day through for generations to come!!
"EVERY WEDDING, EVERY SHOOT, I SEE THE WORLD THROUGH A WHOLE NEW LENS. YOUR STORY WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST, AND THIS IGNITES MY PASSION ALL OVER AGAIN."
What Inspires Me

My Favourite Things
02
My Dogs. My Husband. Agriculture. Travelling. These are a few of my favourite things.
In my free time there’s a few places you can find me! With my wonderful husband, Branden and our labs, Scout and Reese who keep us on our toes! Branden is a Farmer and I have an Agronomy degree, we have endless crop talks in our house! We love to have game nights together or head to Leduc Cinemas on a Tuesday and catch a cheap movie. During seeding and harvest season our date nights are either in a combine or tractor, I truly wouldn’t change our life for the world!
As an adult I discovered a love for reading! I’ve been loving Romantasy lately, but I also love a good whodunit or psychological thriller! I am open to any genre, so if you’ve made it this far into reading about me, please send me your favourite books when you inquire! ;)
Travelling has my heart and I have been so fortunate to travel across Canada capturing weddings, lounge on beaches in Mexico and explore the history of Europe! I am open to shooting weddings EVERYWHERE. Say the place and I will be there!
That’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favourite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)
Carbs are my life
Behind The Lens
03
After one too many coffees, buzzing with energy and excitement I show up to your wedding ready to capture one of the most important and memorable days in your life! After over 7 years of shooting weddings, I am there not missing a beat!
I come prepared with all the details of the day, ensuring that you get to sit back and be in the moment. I’ll arrive to capture the bride and her squad get ready. Or the groomsmen sneaking a few whiskeys to calm their nerves. If you’re like me, you might just have a shot of vodka before you walk down the aisle!
During the ceremony, you won’t even notice I’m there. While you are looking into your partners eyes lovingly, I am ensuring there is no moment missed from heartfelt vows to your parents shedding a few tears over them!
Come portraits, I love to let you soak in those “WE JUST GOT F*CKING MARRIED” vibes! I’ll pose you and prompt you a wee-bit, but I truly want you two to soak in the togetherness and quiet moment of the day while I float around capturing those little kisses and gazes you share with each other.
RAIN, HAIL OR SHINE, I WON’T MISS A BEAT
My Philosophy
04
What started as a hobby has turned into the most fulfilling career one could ask for. Every new love story I come across makes me re-fall in love with photography!
I love being able to stop a moment on time and capture something beyond your wildest dreams. I want you to look back on your photos and remember how happy and involve you are. The joy you share with each other is something I never want you to forget.
I make sure I am so involved with you, from start to finish. I aim to be your friend and go above and beyond so that you’re taken care of and comfortable! I want you to remember the amazing experience you had getting your photos taken and have your photos evoke emotion!
THERE ARE FEW THINGS THAT INSPIRE AND EXCITE ME MORE THAN PHOTOGRAPHY!
