Hi, I am Hayley
- Lover of light
- Observer
- Being creative is one of my happy places
- I freeze moments in time
- I lovingly capture memories, emotions & love for you to look back on for years to come
I live in Worcestershire close to the Malvern Hills with my daughter and our two lovable labradors surrounded by the countryside
Some of the loves in my life...
Family - they mean everything to me. I solo parent my teen daughter and we live with our two labradors. My parents are my world. I very much appreciate capturing grandparents/parents/children at weddings (as part of our planning process I'll ask you about your families so that I can capture your nearest and dearest and all of those special moments and bonds).
Travel - I was born abroad and travel has been a big part and love of my life since a very early age (thank you Dad). My most recent trip abroad was a dream trip to Los Angeles and the surrounding areas in California. I'm all about seeing things and creating the most amazing experiences (and capturing memories along the way). Joshua Tree National Park was incredible! I'm happiest when I am making plans to see beautiful locations (so if your wedding involves travel count me in!)
I have also recently worked in Venice capturing couple portraits - I hadn't visited the city since childhood and adored viewing and appreciating the culture, art, history and architecture through adult eyes
Beautiful skies (I adore colour and pretty light. I will be watching the sky on your wedding day waiting for the perfect light)
Being outdoors - I'm a lover of the outdoors, I walk frequently with my daughter (we have two energetic labradors so we get out a lot). I'll be looking for the best locations for your portraits on your wedding day
I adore The Cotswolds (one of my favourite places to explore and capture weddings), Herefordshire, Worcestershire and the surrounding areas. In my downtime I visit lots of National Trust properties and national parks. Being by the coast is one of my favourite places to be, the sound of the waves, the air, seascapes and sand help to make my heart happy.
Architecture - I have a huge appreciation for intricate details, wonderful buildings and all the work that goes into building and maintaining stunning properties.
My Dogs - I'm a huge animal lover. We have two labradors - Bella and Nancy. I have also owned horses throughout my life until fairly recently. I love dogs (and horses) at weddings and will lovingly capture portraits of them and you with them too!
Happiness - Working in beautiful places capturing love stories, connection, memories and details is a huge passion of mine and I really do adore my job. I feel fulfilled knowing I've put my all into everything I do.
Kind Words
Photography is one of my biggest passions
My camera frequently joins me on my travels and I adore capturing my memories and moments just as much as yours

I adore seeing couples' photos displayed with joy in their homes after their wedding
I have won the 2024 Global Wedding Awards - Best Storytelling Wedding Photographer (Worcestershire & The Cotswolds)

2024 Enterprise Awards - Best Luxury Wedding Photographer (Worcestershire)
Some of my loves in life
I love finding independent coffee shops and unwinding with a coffee (I can often be found editing at a cafe too).
The beach or beside a coast is one of my favourite places to be (my soul feels happy there)
I won an award for a being an inspirational woman
I'm a very proud solo mum to a child with additional needs
Flowers make my heart happy, I adore pastel colours
Travel is one of my biggest loves
I am an art gallery and museum lover, I adore architecture and history
I go crazy for live music
The sound of rain/water is comforting/relaxing
I enjoy swimming, the sauna & yoga - I also love to go kayaking and paddle boarding
I love to explore and appreciate the beauty and inspiration in what I find surrounding me
Get in Touch
It's time for me to hear all about your wedding day and plans
Pop me an email via the button below and let's meet for a real or virtual coffee, talk all things your wedding and photography for your day
I love getting to know my couples whose engagement sessions and weddings I capture - don't spare your wedding day or proposal details - it helps for me to get to know more about you both, your story and your vision
I really can't wait to hear from you and start our photography journey together
