VICTORIA BC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER

AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE
What's actually at stake: spending your entire wedding day feeling self-conscious, awkward, and carrying that 'this isn't me' feeling into every photo you'll look at for the rest of your life.
BEING STRESSED AND RUSHED ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
What's actually at stake: missing your own cocktail hour, losing the portraits you imagined, and arriving at your reception already exhausted before the night even begins.
GETTING YOUR GALLERY BACK AND FEELING DISSAPOINTED
What's actually at stake: you waited months for this moment. You open the email, click through the photos, and your heart sinks. They're fine, but the edit isn't what you imagined, the moments you wanted were missed, and instead of feeling everything you felt that day, you feel let down. You spend the rest of your life with images that don't quite capture how it actually felt.
Do any of these sound familiar? Then you're in the right place.
IF YOU'RE LIKE MOST COUPLES, YOU HAVE THE SAME THREE FEARS...

I PLAN YOUR TIMELINE WITH YOU
Every couple gets a custom timeline. A rushed wedding is a stressful wedding. We protect the time that matters, adding buffer room, and making sure you actually get to enjoy the day you spent so long planning.
SO WHAT DO I DO DIFFERENTLY?
GUIDED & CANDID, NOT OVERLY POSED
My whole approach is built around making you feel so comfortable and natural that the real moments happen on their own. No rigid posing. I provide plenty of guidance to ensure you both feel like you.

I SEE MOMENTS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN
Your dad holding it together when he sees you. The laugh that surprised you both. The split-second look you share during sweet speeches. I capture the moments you didn't see, that you'll want to relive.

I FELT SO COMFORTABLE WITH HAYLEY. SHE WAS SO ENTHUSIASTIC AND MADE THE PROCESS SO MUCH FUN. EVERY PHOTO IN OUR SNEAK PEEKS (WHICH WE GOT IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS) WAS STUNNING.

I knew I wanted Hayley to shoot my wedding before I was even engaged...Her photos are timeless and look beautiful printed and hung up, which was a big part of what drew me to her style.

If unexpected weather or an unforeseen emergency prevents us from getting your outdoor portraits, I'll book a complimentary 60-minute re-shoot. No questions asked. Rain or shine, you walk away with the wedding photos you envisioned.
Because on a day this important, your peace of mind matters as much as your photos.
