“Hailey Ann Studio made our wedding day so much easier by staying in touch throughout the planning process and being upfront about what she'd capture for us. Her attention to detail showed in every single photo, and her editing skills brought out colors and moments we didn't even realize she'd caught. What really set her apart was how she jumped in to help with things beyond just taking pictures, making sure we could focus on enjoying ourselves. Her creative eye gave us shots we wouldn't have thought to ask for, and now we look back at our album and can't pick a favorite because they're all stunning. We'd highly recommend Hailey Ann Studio to any couple looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about making their day special.”

I'm an elopement photographer, because I believe eloping couples deserve to have wedding days that are full of comfort, playfulness, and adventure somewhere stunningly gorgeous with zero stress! <3. I specialize in Glacier National Park and Western North Carolina elopements and love to serve couples with unlimited planning assistance.

“We were SO blessed to have Des. She is so much more than a photographer. She has become our biggest hype girl and such a close friend, since working working with her. She will take such excellent care of you and make sure that you have a day that is an honest reflection of your relationship. She was able to guide us into choosing the most epic location, connect us with incredible vendors, and put us at complete ease. We’re super laid back and she made everything so easy and chill. We were taken care of through the entire experience. We we’re nervous about exploring somewhere new, but Des knows her stuff and was able to navigate us through the location scouting process seamlessly. The day of felt nothing like a photo session and more like hanging out with a really cool friend that gave you as much space as you needed to be vulnerable with your partner, while also keeping the hype up. She had such an incredible pulse on our needs. We were nervous about looking awkward or feeling camera-shy, but she knew exactly what to say to help up feel comfortable. There was no awkward posing or forced emotion, just really subtle prompting that helped you ease into each moment. The entire day was amazing and none of it would have happened without her skill and guidance. We felt like we could trust her to keep us present in the most important moments. We cried when we got our images, they were absolutely breathtaking and 1000% us. We loved being able to share this day through these images with all of our friends and family that weren’t there. They were able to laugh and cry with us. Getting your gallery from Des is like getting to relive your favorite day all over again. She is an absolute gem that impacted our lives in such a positive way. We had no idea how gorgeous Montana was until Des blew our minds with all of the incredible knowledge that she has. If you’re curious about how amazing eloping can be, she’s the girl to talk to. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat.”

Your wedding day moves fast — the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the hug from someone you haven't seen in years, the look between you two when no one else is watching. I'm here to catch all of it, so years from now you can look back and feel it again, not just see it. I blend documentary storytelling with an editorial eye — refined, intentional images that still feel real. Nothing overly posed, nothing you'll look back on and wince at. My background in art direction and a lifetime spent moving between countries shaped how I see a scene: I notice light, composition, and the small human moments most people miss.

“From the first phone call, I knew we'd made the right choice. Raiana captured moments we didn't even know were happening, my father's face during the vows, my niece sneaking a bite of cake. Every photo feels like a little piece of our hearts. Worth every penny, and then some.”

Her artistic eye shows in every single photo—the detail and beauty she captured is incredible, and we've already heard so many compliments from our guests.

I specialize in creating anxiety-free photography experiences for couples who want beautiful wedding documentation without the stress of being in front of a camera. My approach is editorial yet unscripted — I design a photography timeline that feels natural to you, then capture authentic moments as they unfold. The result is a gallery that reflects how your wedding actually felt, not just how it looked. I work exclusively with design-driven celebrations where thoughtful details and genuine emotion take center stage. My clients value artistry, discretion, and a photographer who anticipates moments before they happen.

“I did 3 separate shoots over the course of my wedding season with Brennan (engagement, boudoir, and wedding day), and it was the best choice I could’ve made. Brennan truly has a gift - she’s an intuitive photographer who knows how to get “The Shot” and she made me feel comfortable and natural in front of the lens. Aside from her photography skills, she’s an amazing communicator. I loved seeing her interact with my family on the wedding day - she has the BEST personality and everyone loved her. Brennan goes above and beyond. She’s prompt. She’s versatile. She listens. Choose Brennan and thank yourself for it.”

“Mehmet was absolutely a dream to work with! From the time we booked him until the day of our wedding his communication and attention to detail was excellent. He has an amazing personality and all of our guests told us how kind and personable he was with everyone. We have already received sneak peek photos even though our wedding was just a couple days ago and they are stunning. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and his editing is perfection. We got exactly what we asked for and we would happily recommend him to everyone.”

Hi, I'm Candy! I love capturing all of the raw, beautiful moments as they naturally unfold on your wedding day. Candids are some of my favorite photos! Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens. I would love to chat with you more about your wedding plans and how I can be a part of documenting it!

“Candy was very responsive and clear about everything, which made planning so easy. On the day of our wedding, she had this infectious energy that put everyone at ease—especially during those one-on-one shots that can feel awkward. Her photos are stunning; the candids capture real moments and the posed shots look like they belong in a magazine, with colors that just pop off the page. She went above and beyond to catch every beautiful and silly moment, which is exactly what we wanted. Candy is genuinely so incredibly talented and made our day feel special. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who actually cares about their couples and delivers incredible work.”
