I cannot say enough good things about Haley Richter Photography!! From the very first meeting, my husband and I knew we were in good hands! Our photographer, John, was the absolute best! He made sure we were at ease, and did an amazing job capturing our wedding day! We're getting compliments from everyone about how much they enjoyed working with John, and our photographs are AMAZING! Highly recommend!!

My wife found Haley when she was searching for someone to capture our surprise engagement, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I was completely caught off guard, and Haley was such a calming presence. She made taking photos afterward feel genuinely fun and never overwhelming. She even helped my wife pull off a ruse to get me back to our house, where all of our friends were waiting! The photos we received were incredible. We’re both people who generally don’t love having our picture taken, yet there truly wasn’t a single bad photo of us. We knew immediately that we wanted to book Haley for our wedding and honestly would have chosen a different date if she hadn’t been available.

Before the wedding, Haley did a venue walkthrough with us and took the time to understand exactly which shots mattered most. On the wedding day, she and her assistant, Rachel, were absolutely amazing to work with. They made us feel so comfortable and hyped us up in a way that helped us feel relaxed and confident. Haley went above and beyond—helping me put on my veil, adjusting my dress throughout the day, and making sure everything looked perfect. Her energy is incredible and completely infectious; we had such a great time taking photos before the ceremony. She was also incredibly efficient with family portraits, coming prepared with a detailed list to ensure we got every combination we wanted, and she was flexible and accommodating when we added more last minute.

We received our sneak peek within 24 hours, and the photos are absolutely gorgeous!!! We cannot wait to see the rest and are beyond thrilled with how everything turned out. My wife and I are already hoping we’ll get to work with Haley again as we reach future milestones in our lives.

(10/5 if we could!)

John was absolutely incredible to work with! From the moment we met him, he made us feel comfortable, helped ease any wedding day nerves, and kept the energy fun and light all day. The photos? OUT OF THIS WORLD. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out—they’re stunning, natural, and capture every special moment perfectly.

The communication throughout the entire process was amazing, and we were blown away by how quickly we received our photos. We couldn’t believe how many sneak peeks we got within just a week of our wedding!

We also had the pleasure of meeting Haley at another wedding a few weeks later, and she’s just as incredible—such a rockstar!

John, we can’t thank you enough for everything. You “herded cats” with grace to make sure we got every single shot we wanted (and then some!) while making it all feel effortless. Your creativity, eye for beautiful locations, and ability to make everyone look and feel natural is unmatched.

If you’re not hiring John and Haley to photograph your special day, you’re making a mistake. They are hands-down the best in the business!

We love Haley! I can not say enough good things about Haley and her team. She was literally the best to work with. She was so personable and fun. ALL of our photos were stunning. We could not imagine our day with out Haley. She made us feel at ease and capture a bunch of beautiful moments that we will treasure forever. Even now, we are trying to figure out a way to work with Haley again.

I cannot say enough good things about Keristin and Haley Richter Photography!!!!!!! Photos - so stunning, can't stop staring at them. Keristin brought the absolute best vibe to our day and helped everything move along so seamlessly. I can't imagine our day without Keristin and John. They captured the sweetest, most special details of our day and truly captured all of the love in the air. We are not people comfortable in front of the camera, but she got us feeling and looking like naturals

Haley was extremely communicative during the whole process and made us feel prepared for everything photography related! She organized everything between us and our lead photographer, John. We are beyond grateful to have had John as our wedding photographer. From the moment we met him during our engagement shoot, he immediately put us at ease in front of the camera. He not only captured stunning moments throughout our wedding day but also went above and beyond to ensure every moment was documented beautifully. The photographs are nothing short of breathtaking. John has an incredible eye for capturing emotions and candid moments, resulting in a collection of images that truly tell the story of our wedding day. We highly recommend John to anyone looking for a talented wedding photographer. Thank you, John, for preserving our memories so beautifully. Your work will be cherished!

We highly recommend using Haley Richter Photography for your wedding day!! John was incredible to work with from our engagement photos to wedding day. He is extremely friendly, personable, and fun. He makes you feel comfortable and relaxed in a moment when you could feel uncomfortable and awkward. Joe was our second photographer on wedding day. He was also very friendly. He even tied the groom's tie!! Haley was great to work with via phone and email from start to finish. She ensures the timeline for wedding day is perfect and that you capture all of the shots on your list! John and Joe even pulled out this list on wedding day making sure they grabbed every shot we wanted!! We absolutely love the way our engagement photos turned out and cannot wait to see our wedding photos!

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Keristin at Haley Richter Photography. From our intro call to the final delivery of our wedding photos, she totally exceeded all of our expectations. The quality of work is simply outstanding. Our wedding photos are breathtaking, capturing every special moment, emotion, and detail beautifully.

Keristin and Joe were an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. They arrived early and were well-prepared, ensuring that they didn't miss any important moments. They were skilled at capturing candid moments as well as orchestrating posed shots with precision and creativity, and we were so impressed and appreciative of how they blended in so seamlessly and were never obtrusive or overbearing. Their attention to detail and commitment to perfection was evident throughout the entire process, and we were left in awe by the artistry and storytelling in each image.

I wholeheartedly recommend Haley Richter Photography to any couple looking for a skilled and personable photography team. They made our wedding day even more memorable, and we are forever grateful for their talent and dedication, and the gorgeous photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

I loved working with the business owner, Haley, as well as our photographer, Keristin. I chose this business because they went to art school and are very skillful- her work speaks for itself! She was sweet and easy to work with and our sneak peaks (130+ photos in 4 days!) are incredible. We are fully in love with our photos and could not have asked for anything more. Book these ladies if you want elegant, bright, design-focused photographs.

I cannot say enough great things about Keristin and Haley. We booked Haley Richter Photography before we even locked down our venue and this was the best investment we could've made. Keristin was really flexible - we changed our venue a little over half a year after booking them and she was willing to fly into Chicago for our new venue. Keristin asked us a lot of questions to make sure she understood what our vision was and what was important to us. On the day of, she got all of our shots without making it seem like our wedding was dictated by a photo schedule, which I've seen at a lot of other weddings. Her and her team were so easy to work with on that day and then she even got us our sneak peeks a day or two after the wedding!! The photos came out beautiful, with their special impressionistic glowy touch. Wedding photography can feel pricey, but trust me that it's truly worth it when you get your photos back and you feel like you're back in the moment!
