About this vendor
WAIT! You're GETTING MARRIED? CONGRATULATIONS! Your day is going to be spectacular, literally the only one of its kind, and you'll want to look back on all the candid, magical, planned, and unplanned moments for decades to come. That's why having the best photos to preserve your memories is key.
I'm the photographer you book if you're a little bit of an anti-bride and pretty much hate posing, if you want to embody every second of your wedding day, and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, if you crave photos revolving around your day, not your day revolving around your photos. See the difference?
I want to tell the story of your wedding day in a way that depicts what really happened--the honest, raw parts so that you remember and the details and glow of a day that would otherwise fade without photos. After all, these pictures are both for you in the years to come and your grandkids in the decades to come.
Message me, I'd love to celebrate with you as I hear what you need and share what I do.
Cheers to your wedding day!!!!
xx

Haley went above and beyond photographing our wedding. From the first phone call I had with her I had an amazing feeling about her. Some of her questions made me tear up honestly. ...
She was warm, grounded, real. That's exactly how she photographs too. I really wanted someone who would get the rawness of the day, and more doc style than posed. She did exactly that. I was very overwhelmed my wedding day leading up to the ceremony and she did not add any pressure, even elevated it. Once I walked down the aisle all the butterflies went away, I actually had a blast, and I knew I could trust Haley to capture that. Hire her!!
It has taken me too long to sit down and write this review and it's honestly because I thought if I tasked myself with trying to explain all the reasons I loved having Haley as my ...
wedding photographer I would write a novel. I'm an NYU Tisch Film & TV grad and so the photos of my wedding were incredibly important to me. In fact, the photographer was the FIRST thing I booked before the venue, the flowers, the dress, etc. What was most important to me was to find someone who was passionate about SEEING, about truly seeing the authenticity of the day, whatever mood it happened to be, and capturing that. I wanted to look back on the photos and remember the day clearly because it had been captured exactly as it felt. I wanted to see my true self and the true selves of my loved ones, not the posed poised versions of themselves, but my mama's big scrunched up smile face, the wind in my hair flying everywhere. I wanted documentary meets artwork and Haley was all of those things and more. I have my gallery back and again I find myself taking ages to decide which to blow up and print as artworks in the home because there is simply too many hero images to choose from! A problem I wish for everyone haha and something I can promise you will experience if you book Haley. <3
Haley is amazing! She saved the day! Our photographer cancelled on us and she fit us into an already busy schedule. She really captures the moments and helped us feel great through...
out a very chaotic day. While our wedding did not go as planned because of our coordinator, Haley was the best cheerleader you could have ever asked for and the pictures were amazing. We are so thankful she was our photographer!!
Haley did our engagement session and our wedding photos. She is so sweet and bubbly and makes it so easy to be comfortable in front of the camera! The engagement session was full o...
f so much fun movement that it went by so fast and we got such great pictures from it! Wedding day she ran around all night with her second shooter Keegan and was getting photos I wasn't even thinking of or noticing in the moment (some when my grandma first walked in, all sorts of shots on the dance floor, etc). Keegan handed us the Polaroids at the end of the night and they were gorgeous!! We have only seen the sneak peeks of the wedding photos so far (which are stunning), because it just happened a day ago; but I can’t tell you how excited we are to see them! 10/10, would choose her again again!!!
Haley was really incredible! She did a great job of getting lots of shots of us the whole night, while still somehow finding time to get beautiful shots of the decorations! She was...
wonderful to pull us out of the action to take a breather and get some pictures while we were soaking up the action. She took charge when wrangling the family for group pictures, and we moved so quickly through those despite all of the folks needing wrangling.
We could not have asked for more from Haley. 11/10.
We can’t say enough good things about Haley! Not only did she capture absolutely stunning photos of our engagement and wedding day, but she also went above and beyond to help with ...
our timeline and keep everything on track. She creates a fun environment that makes everyone feel comfortable being photographed! We will be using her again!
I had the pleasure of working with Haley for our engagement shoot, and it was an amazing experience! From the start, she gave great direction for shots and poses. The quality of th...
e photos was simply breathtaking—her talent truly shines through in every image!! Beyond her impressive skills, she has such a warm, friendly personality that made us feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire shoot. We had soooo much fun, and it felt like we were working with a friend rather than just a photographer. I can't recommend her enough for anyone looking to capture such their love in the most beautiful way!
Haley as my photographer was the second best decision I made on my wedding day! The proof is in her photos but what you don't see is the way she makes you feel, laugh and embrace e...

Haley is absolutely AMAZING!! We did our engagement shoot with her before booking her for our wedding. She is so easy to work with and she makes it a lot of fun. She captured our l...

Haley was our photographer for our wedding recently and to say she was absolutely PHENOMENAL is an understatement. If I could, I could probably give her a million stars! Haley alwa...
ys made time to answer any questions we had and was so helpful with all of the planning process. The day of she went out of her way to make sure that I was okay, giving me multiple opportunities to take breaks and rest (because it was superrrr hot) and made sure everything was going on schedule. She dealt with our big crazy family and made taking group/family pictures a breeze. She knew all of the tips and tricks to get true, genuine smiles from everyone and had the most out of the box, unique prompts that created the most beautiful pictures. My husband and I talked about it afterward and one of the things we appreciated most about Haley was she wasn't satisfied with the bare minimum or "good enough" pictures. If she had to take the same photo or pose a million times, I think she probably would (thank goodness she didn't)! You could absolutely tell that she wanted to give us the best outcome possible. Haley was so much more than a photographer. She laughed with us, cried with us, and made our wedding day the absolute perfect day! We've only gotten the sneak peeks, but we are so so looking forward to the rest of our pictures because we know that they will be the best of the best!
Haley is the GOAT!! She shot my engagement session, my wedding, and even my bachelorette party. Haley is the most amazing hype woman. She told us exactly how to pose and made me f...
eel so beautiful the whole time. The photos speak for themselves - this woman is TALENTED. Not to mention she is fast - I had my full gallery earlier than the promised deadline every time. I'm so happy I found Haley and am looking forward to working with her again in the future.
If I could give Haley more than 5 stars I would! She was such an amazing photographer and she delivered such great photos of our wedding. She was so kind and gracious during the wh...
ole wedding and captured our day stunningly. She also showed our personalities through the photos and gave us both candid and posed photos that we will enjoy forever! Thank you for being so amazing Haley!!
Haley is an absolute QUEEN! I had the pleasure of working with her at a wedding this weekend and let me tell you, as a coordinator, it’s rare to find a vendor that is responsive, g...
reat at what they do, AND is a fun time - and Haley is all that and more! She is so easy to work with and the sweetest human. Plus her work is absolutely stunning. 10/10 recommend her!
Haley is the photographer of my dreams! she captured our engagement photos and our wedding day in a way that can only be done by someone who gets us! Her photography style for us w...
as moody, cinematic, romantic, all the things that made for her capturing the winter wedding of our dreams. We were initially so nervous to be in front of the camera, but me and my husband are supermodels now!
Time spent with her is so fun. She’s hilarious, kind, empathetic, and just great at what she does. Haley is super communicative, and really was along for the journey from engagement shoot to the wedding day. She’s now our photographer and friend for life! I will use her for anniversary shoots, family photos, and hopefully maternity pics one day!
I’d recommend her to literally anyone and I’d tell them to trust her and her vision.
LOOK NO FURTHER!!!! Haley is the best of the best, her attention to detail is incredible (make sure there is nothing in your pockets!!!) Awkard in front of a camera like I am? Don'...
t worry, Haley got you!
All it takes is one conversation and she will deliver what you are looking for. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help me remember my special day in this way. Thank you so much Haley.
If I could give Haley more than 5 stars, I would! Not only is she incredibly talented in photography, but she has the best personality! She knows how to keep on schedule, take adv...
antage of the natural surroundings and lighting, and help the subjects pose in a way that highlights their very best! She has a great sense of humor and made the whole day so much better because she was part of it. I highly recommend Haley and given the opportunity again, I would hire her in a heartbeat. Thanks so much, Haley!
If I could give her 100 stars, I would! Haley has an incredible gift for photography and she made my entire wedding experience so memorable! I literally cannot recommend her enough...
. Incredible energy, professional, and most of all inspiring! My entire family will be using her services in the future! Thank you so much Haley for photographing our special day!
If you are looking for a photographer that radiates positivity and passion for her job you've found the right woman! I can't emphasize how grateful we are that we choose Haley to b...
e our photographer. She knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and little ways to make posed photos look natural. Our favorite pictures from her were the candid shots she took. She was able to capture little moments that we didn't realize were happening. I could go on and on about how amazing Haley is but I still wouldn't be able to describe how amazing she is. Please do yourself a favor and hire Haley immediately! You won't regret it!
Haley is the best photographer we've ever hired. She is SO easy to work with (extremely responsive and punctual!), and she just generally has amazing energy. We had a lot of spe...
cific requests for our event in terms of what photos to capture, and Haley delivered on ALL accounts. She is also fab at directing couples to do certain poses to get the best shots (maybe you and your significant other just naturally know how to pose for photos but I can assure you me and my now-husband do not haha).
She was also so quick in delivering our gallery and the final photos are AMAZING. Her editing is so natural and perfect and whether Haley likes it or not, I've already declared her our photographer for the rest of time. If you are on the fence about hiring Haley, take this as your sign to do it!!
She was amazing to work with and really captured the energy, fun and enjoyment at my event! She has a knack for bringing to life in photography what could have been just ordinary....
Extraordinary is the word! I can't wait to work with her again!
Haley was a fantastic wedding photographer! She’s bubbly and personable, and instantly put us at ease from the first time we met her. She’s also great at coming up with fun and cre...
ative poses that still felt like us, and also super effective at posing and handling large groups. Multiple people commented on what a great job she did working with our friends and family, but also sticking to the schedule (despite my husband and his friends generally being the type who struggle to stick to a schedule..). She and her husband shot together during the day and captured fantastic angles of our ceremony and reception. Our final gallery came in almost exactly a month after our wedding. And, she went above and beyond and sent a couple pictures early for a family Christmas calendar. Overall, we absolutely love our photos and can’t recommend her enough!
Haley beyond exceeded my hopes and expectations! Her photos were absolutely beautiful! My main request for wedding photos was that I didn’t want posed pictures - I wanted candid, i...
n the moment, memories being captured as they were made and she nailed it! It’s been 3 days of me looking through our wedding photos and I’m still getting emotional. Our wedding was the most beautiful magical day and the photos Haley took reflect that 100% genuinely. I’m super sad the day is over because it was the best, but I’m so happy I have such beautiful pictures to bring me back to those memories!
On a more logistical note, Haley handled our crazy group like a champ! She is a gentle boss - meaning she’s the sweetest human, but everyone listened to her and without question haha! She also did our family photos with a 9 month old (who is a girl boss already and does not cooperate lol) which she crushed that too… all around incredible photographer!
Book her! Seriously you will not regret it! The only thing you’ll be upset about is trying to pick a favorite photo from the day because they’re all so incredible!
So beyond thrilled that we had Haley do our wedding photography! Not only are the photos absolutely stunning, Haley added such a fun, joyful attitude to our wedding day. She was s...
o fun to work with and made sure we got absolutely perfect photos that really captured our day. Our families and bridal party loved working with her as well, she had the perfect attitude and demeanor for shooting a wedding. If you are looking for a photographer in the Nashville area, you should 100% give Haley a call!
I can't recommend Haley enough. Not only did she take the most amazing pictures of our wedding, but she is just the nicest person. That made a HUGE difference in our wedding day ex...

We first met Haley for our engagement pictures in Oregon while we were on vacation! We loved her sooo much that we asked her to be our photographer for our wedding in Indiana! Luck...
y for us, she had told us she was moving to Nashville and could drive up to our venue in September! Haley and her husband did an amazing job at capturing our moments on our best day! Haley not only took our photos, but helped coordinate the day to make it run smoothly! She helped guide our guests to where they needed to go and also looked into our best to get the most amazing sunset pictures for my husband and I during the reception! She is such a fun, loving, and outgoing type of person! She bonded with all of our guest like she was one of our own! She was loved by everyone!! She was there every step of the way, anytime we wanted to get pictures with our guests she was right there taking our picture! We received tons of photos back, I can’t imagine the amount of effort it took to get those ready so quickly! I could go on and on with so many good things to say about our experience and about her as a person! We are so grateful to have crossed paths with Haley and Ryan! Our day truly would not have been so perfect without them! We hope to keep in contact with them and see them again in the future! You would be extremely lucky to have her as a photographer!
P.S.- her husband Ryan is an excellent Uber driver if you have a golf cart at your event ;)
Haley is an amazing individual who will help you feel at ease no matter how nervous you are in the beginning! She did our engagement photos and each one was beautiful and captured ...
who my fiance and I are as people. We were laughing and smiling the entire time because of her carefree and humorous nature. We can't wait to see what she produces for our wedding later this summer!
Haley Maria Photography didn’t just photograph my wedding. She cared for me like family. Having Haley by my side on one of the most emotional and meaningful days of my life was a t...
rue gift.
We had been watching the forecast all week, and I was heartbroken knowing rain was expected on our wedding day. I was so worried it would impact our photos and the overall experience. But Haley, with her calm presence and creative eye, helped me embrace the moment and completely turned things around. Even from just the sneak peeks I’ve seen so far, I’m in awe. The photos are dreamy, emotional, and better than I could have imagined. I truly can’t wait to see the full gallery.
Haley supported me in every way that day. She made sure I ate, stayed hydrated, and felt grounded as the day unfolded. She gently guided me through each moment and made me feel confident and beautiful from start to finish.
Her second photographer, Edith, was also incredibly kind and wonderful to work with. And Keagan, who was there to support Haley, went above and beyond. He even checked in on my dog Klay throughout the night to make sure he was okay. That level of care meant so much to me.
Even though I haven’t received the full gallery yet, I already know I’ll treasure these photos and the experience forever. Haley has a true gift and I’m so thankful she was the one behind the camera.
If you’re considering Haley Maria Photography, this is your sign to book her. You won’t just get stunning photos. You’ll get a team of people who show up wholeheartedly and make your day that much more meaningful.
Punctual professional takes charge of stressful and potentially awkward situations! Beautiful life long memories captured all at once!
We absolutely loved working with Haley! She made us actually laugh during our engagement photos which put us at ease and made us look as happy on film as we are in real life. Book ...
her! We booked her for our wedding in 2022 as well!
Haley shot our engagement pictures and we couldn’t be happier! She did a beautiful job. She also helped us with what to wear and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera!...
On top of that she is SO much fun and we had the best time!! I can’t wait for the wedding!
An impeccable eye for light and a the sweetest heart- We absolutely loved working with Haley from the start (engagement photos!) she was both professional and an absolute breath of...
fresh air. While planning our wedding she was one of the first people we hired. She fit seamlessly into our wedding day and made us belly laugh the entire time. We can’t wait for our next life milestone to call Haley up and schedule our next session. Thank you Haley for making the experience so magical!
If I could give Haley 50 stars, I would! She has done many little projects for me, graduation pictures, engagement pictures, random fun shoots. But OUR WEDDING. WOW. She came to sh...
oot our wedding in October of 2021 in Colorado Springs, CO. They are above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for. She brings her light and joy and fun into all the work that she does and it totally comes through in her pictures. She reads people incredibly well and can draw out the best in everyone. On the more logistical side, she did an amazing job at maintaining our timeline while still capturing amazing photos! She also wrangled a large number of family members and somehow managed to get pictures where everyone is looking and smiling. I genuinely cannot say enough great things about her work! I HIGHLY recommend Haley for any and all weddings. She is amazing.
Haley was our photographer for our engagement photos, and is going to be our photographer for our wedding in September, 2022. We are extremely happy with her work! She is kind, att...
entive, and very easy to get a hold of. Her personality is wonderful and helped us both relax during our photography session, and captured some of the prettiest pictures of the both of us that I’ve ever seen. ( Her prices are very reasonable, too). I cannot recommend her enough!
Haley is truly AMAZING! I was blown away when I received my wedding photos. They were spectacular!! What really made Haley stand out was not only the beauty and quality of her phot...
os, but also how enjoyable it was to work with her. She was very professional yet fun, friendly and had this amazing way of connecting to our special day in a genuine way. You walk away feeling like you've been friends for a lifetime. I highly recommend Haley. Five stars doesn't do it justice so just know that her five stars are the biggest and brightest!
I’ve always been sooo anxious about taking photos, whether they would come out just the way I wanted them to (due to my high expectations) or not liking the way I pose. But Haley ...
has never failed at getting what I want! She’s AMAZING at what she does and I couldn’t ask for a better photographer hands down. You NEED to book with Haley! I promise you won’t regret it!
I can’t say enough good things about Haley! From the beginning I knew she was going to make my wedding special. Her attention to detail, getting to know her bride and groom, and he...
r genuineness made it an easy decision to pick her for this big moment! She is such a quality person and it felt like a close friend was doing our photos. I am so grateful for her and how she put me at ease so I could enjoy my beautiful day. Thank you Haley, you are a blessing!!! 💕

e, caught some amazing moments of the guests, and took amazing photos of our venue. We will treasure these photos forever!
Haley is great to work with and has something very special that comes through when she takes photos!
I couldn’t recommend her enough!
We first experienced Haley’s photography skills at our engagement shoot. We were a little apprehensive and nervous going into it as we hadn’t ever done anything like that, but Hal...
ey made it feel SO natural and easy. She has the best energy and really made it a special time. Then we received the photos, and they were literally the best photos that had ever been taken of us….so far. This would change in subsequent shoots with her.
Since then, she has shot my wife’s graduation photos, my wife’s professional headshots, and our wedding. Literally every single person that has seen them has given us SO MANY compliments on each photo and type of photo she has taken, I believe Haley truly can handle and exceed your expectations in any photography project you give her.
If you’re thinking of booking Haley for any type of photography gig, especially for your special day, I would highly recommend it. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would.
Haley truly went above and beyond to capture every detail of our wedding day. She really took the time to get to know us and our venue which enabled her to photograph our day just ...
the way we hoped for. We were so impressed with her ability to not only find the best photo spots at our venue but also pick the most beautiful and creative angles to artfully frame the shots. She made us feel like family, yet was incredibly professional and prompt. We could not recommend her enough and refer anyone we know who needs photos to her!
Haley is the best!!... the best at capturing emotion, intimate moments, making you feel comfortable, making you feel BEAUTIFUL. She is a natural and such an amazing human being...
. I hired Haley for our engagement photos and then quickly booked her for our wedding! I was blown away at all of the photos she took and we've received so comments on how funny/ friendly our photographer was.
Book Haley now, stop looking and just do it. You will be over the moon impressed and in love with the photos and with Haley.
