hi, i’m hailey
A wedding and portrait photographer based in Alden, MI, but will travel anywhere and everywhere!
I was raised along the bays of Traverse City, spending most of my time on or in the water with my favorite people. I picked up a camera my freshman year of high school, with absolutely no intentions of making it my career.
I recently got married to my best friend, Tanner, this past October in Italy! We both dreamed of having a destination wedding, with our closest family and friends, our hearts were so full to have made it happen!
When I’m not taking photos, I enjoy local coffee shops, traveling with my husband and our two pups, fishing, game nights and binge watching New Girl or Everybody Loves Raymond. I love traveling to warm places in the winter and enjoying my hometown in the summer!
My editing style represents my love for soft, earthy tones, giving that nostalgic feeling you can look back on, while not being over-edited. I live for intimate weddings on the lake and campfire toasts under the stars.
On your wedding day, I’m there to give direction and to ensure your day flows smoothly. I love documenting life in the moment and getting to incorporate that into your day! Capturing your dad seeing his little girl in her dress for the first time, the belly laughs from those insides jokes written in your vows or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor - I’m here for it all! Being part of so many special moments and giving those memories back is why I love my job so much!
i also want you to meet…
my little loves
oliver owen & jackson james
These sweet boys play an important role in the office and in my life! Oliver Owen (Oly or Pooks) and Jackson James (Jax, Bugs, Beans or Beany) love to lay by my feet, try to climb their way up to my head while I’m editing, and remind me when I need a computer break - we love them for it! They’re always up for meeting new friends, following mom around the house and playing frisbee in the yard! Swimming and making a mess of some good pup cups are their favorite summer activities! Although they don’t tag along for weddings and portrait sessions, they definitely wish they could!
