About me
hi, I'm Hayley
Part photographer, part ninja, full-time soft light chaser.
My story
how it all began
I got my first camera as a teenager and immediately started photographing everything that stood still — and quite a few things that didn't. Then life got busy, and at 19 the camera ended up in a drawer collecting dust.
At 27 I picked it back up — and found my love and passion for photography all over again, like coming home. A wedding day or an engagement shoot isn't a photoshoot to me — it's a story that's already happening. I just get to keep the best bits.
My style
soft, honest light
I photograph the way the day actually felt — warm, a little dreamy and completely unposed. No stiff line-ups, no "say cheese", nobody holding a smile for twenty minutes. Just gentle direction, lots of walking and talking, and me quietly catching the in-betweens.
Think golden-hour glow, big honest laughs, the tear you pretend wasn't there during the vows — and photos that still feel like you in twenty years' time.
How I work
relaxed, from hello to album
We say hello
You tell me about your day — the venue, the vibe, the bit you're most excited about. Call, text, email or the booking form, whichever feels easiest.
We plan it together
I'll help shape a plan that fits you — timings, locations, the photos you'll kick yourselves for missing. Nothing set in stone, just a good map.
The shoot itself
Relaxed and unhurried. I'll chat you out of any camera nerves, hunt the good light and stay out of the way while the real moments happen.
Your photos arrive
I hand-pick and gently edit every frame, then send your gallery over — ready to share, print and keep forever.
shall we make some memories?
If you like what you've read, I'd love to hear about your day.
