victoria bc couple PHOTOGRAPHY ROOTED IN DOCUMENTARY STORYTELLING
DOCUMENTARY-STYLE PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
I’m Hayley, a Vancouver Island Wedding Photographer and Filmmaker serving Victoria BC, Campbell River, and destinations worldwide. Our couples and engagement sessions feel natural, relaxed, and full of genuine connection. I provide plenty of guidance in these sessions to ensure you feel confident and comfortable.
It’s not about forced posing or stiff smiles; it’s about documenting how your relationship actually feels. How you feel when you're together? We’ll plan your session around what feels most like you. I'll provide location and outfit options, but let's get creative. How about a date night? Multiple locations downtown? Doing something you love together? This session and the images you walk away with should make you smile for years.

Hayley’s photography is enchanting. She has a positive energy that allowed us to feel instantly comfortable in front of her camera. Her photography wasn’t just about perfect shots, but also having fun, laughing, and making the entire experience enjoyable. The photos feel natural, unposed, and genuine.

A GLIMPSE AT MY WORK
ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Victoria, BC! I also regularly take bookings in my hometown of Campbell River, traveling across over Vancouver Island and the rest of the world.
My Couples & Families choose me because they value:
Plenty of guidance during photoshoots that lead to natural, real and joyful images. Nothing cheesy or overly posed.
High Quality Images of your choosing (aka you pick all the images you want to ensure you love every single one)

A quick turnaround time where galleries are delivered in under 4 weeks
Working with someone organized - I help with location and activity planning, send pinterest mood boards to ensure we’re aligned, and assist with outfit choices
Most people aren’t used to being in front of the camera. My clients love how much feedback I give during these shoots, and I’m happy to show you behind the camera to further express how amazing you look togethe
Yes, I have 3 main packages ranging from quick 20 minute sessions, to those longer, more candid ‘date night’ packages.
I have over 10 years in this industry and I’m confident in how much energy, time and support I give my clients before, during and after the session. Because I take a very limited number of bookings per year, you are my top priority. Prices range between $800-$1500
Depending on your location, I will provide you with plenty of examples of what you can wear! You’ll receive an ‘Outfit Guide’ or a Pinterest Vision Board for your session to help inspire your outfit choices.
You’ll receive sneak peek images within 3 days of the session! This way, if you don’t love the colours/edit of the image (which has never happened), you can let me know before I finalize the rest of the edits!
In 3 Days: Receive your sneak peek images
In 1 Week: Receive your ‘Proofing Gallery’ where you choose your final images
In 4 Weeks: Your final gallery will be delivered
I know you’ll love your photos because you get the final choices in images!
