GREAT TO meet you
I’M HAYLEY
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO FIND OUT MORE …
A little about me – I live in West Yorkshire with my wonderful husband, Matt, our two gorgeous kids, Finley & Harper, and our lively Collie-Doodle – Woody. Life’s full of love and laughter at our house, and I’d love to help bring that same warmth to your wedding day.
My journey with photography began on our honeymoon safari when I bought my first camera to capture the adventure. What started as a hobby quickly blossomed into a deep love for photographing people and the emotions that make them unique.
It’s funny because my Nana often reminds me how ironic it is that I ended up behind the camera—since I was the kid always dodging the family photos!
But maybe that’s exactly why I do what I do …
I’ve been told I have a special way of helping people feel at ease and relaxed in front of the camera, and that’s honestly one of the greatest joys I get from my work – creating moments where people can just be themselves, completely free and natural.
I shot my first wedding back in 2011, and since then, I’ve had the privilege of capturing over 400 incredible weddings.
Every single one has been unique, with its own beautiful moments.
What never changes, though, is the love, joy, and positivity I get to witness and preserve for couples on such an important day.
I LOVE what I do – like full on head over heels bonkers obsessed with shooting weddings & I hope that passion shines through.
Get to know me, here are a few of my favourite family snaps …
I’M REALLY EXCITED TO MEET YOU

ABOUT
MY APPROACH
So, what can you expect of me on your Wedding day? I firmly believe that as a Photographer I am there as an extension of your guest list – someone who you & your family & friends feel completely comfortable & relaxed with.
I’m there to capture and tell the story of your day, creating a collection of images that will transport you right back to how you felt in that moment.
My goal is for your photos to feel real and authentic – nothing forced or overly styled. Most importantly, I want my couples to feel confident and trust that I’ll deliver something truly special.
Before your big day I’ll take the time to understand exactly how everything will flow so that you can trust I’m organised & ahead of the curve. On the day itself I’ll be a calming, down to earth influence on your day. My style is predominantly documentary – capturing all the fleeting moments in a natural way. But I’m forever assessing & observing the light – making sure that when the time is right we can steal away for some creative shots.
Above all, I truly believe your wedding day is your day—it’s not a photo shoot. When it comes to couples’ portraits, I’ll never take you away from your guests for long stretches of time. Weddings are about celebrating your love with the people who mean the most to you, and that’s exactly where you should be—surrounded by love, enjoying the moments with your family and friends.
