ABOUT ME

Great to Meet You

Hi there - I'm Hayley - thanks for taking the time to find out more about me!

 

Out of everyone you choose for your wedding, the photographer will be there all day - interacting with your family & friends.

It's a big decision! You need to view us as an extension of your guest list.

I love the fact that some of my past couples I now genuinely call friends and regularly stay in touch with.

 

I shot my first wedding back in 2011 … 13 years later I’ve captured over 350 amazing days … so you’re in safe hands … I love the fact that no two weddings are ever the same & that I continue to be surprised and amazed at the creativity and ideas that couples come up with for their days. But the one thing which remains constant through all those Weddings is the amount of love, joy, happiness and positivity I have the honour of capturing.

 

A bit about me - I live in West Yorkshire with my husband Matt, our awesome children - Finley & Harper and our energetic Collie-Doodle Woody.

My Nana tells me it's ironic really that I've ended up with a camera in my hand because as a kid I was always the one running away from the lens trying to avoid the family snaps.

But then again perhaps that's why I do it ...

People tell me I have a knack of making them feel at ease & comfortable in front of the camera - I guess that's one of the biggest buzzes I get from this job - capturing people being totally relaxed and one hundred percent themselves!

Previous to photography my career had taken a very different path - graduating at Uni in Business Management, my last job was as a Commercial Finance analyst (I know right, just a bit different?!)

 

My passion for Photography started back in 2011, when I invested in my first camera, ready for our Safari Honeymoon adventure. What started as a hobby quickly became an obsession. I soon realised that I adored photographing people - combine that with a healthy dose of loving to people watch and here I am today pinching myself that I do this for a living!

 

I LOVE what I do - like full on head over heels bonkers obsessed with shooting weddings & I hope that passion shines through.
