About

Hi dears! Welcome to Halleh Photography & Film, a wedding photography service in Carmel Valley, California.

I am Halleh (pronounced like the 'halle' in hallelujah) - the owner, founder, photographer, filmmaker, personal wedding cheerleader, one-woman show, and obsessed with joy in its cultivation and creation.

I live in gorgeous Carmel Valley in Monterey County and am Kentucky-born and Illinois-raised.

I love seeing you light up and think my best work comes from the organic, unplanned, and spontaneous. No posing and force— just ease, your connection, and your palpable love. That's where the magic happens.

I’m big into laughter, keeping it light-hearted, and looking for flow. So, while you are getting lost in the day, you can be assured that I am hard at work documenting everything and expertly telling your story through beautiful images and film.

Let's capture what makes your heart beat harder.

Can’t wait to book again with Halleh!

Halleh was a pleasure to work with! It was our first couple’s photo shoot, so we were pretty nervous and awkward at first. But Halleh was so professional and patient with us, and after a little time she made us super comfortable in front of the camera.

Her experience definitely showed when applying her expertise during the shoot. She recommended a lot of different poses, and we arrived in time to take shots while the sun was setting on the beach. Sheer perfection.

The best part was receiving our photos! The quality of the photos are 5 star worthy, so much to the point we gave framed copies away as gifts for our families, and they absolutely loved them.

Ben and I enjoyed every minute of our engagement shoot, and now have these wonderful moments in time to always look back on. Looking forward to future shoots with Halleh as we reach other milestones! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! You won’t regret it!

Lovely Outdoor Boudoir

I loved working with Halleh for my Boudoir Photo Shoot! This was my 4th time doing a boudoir shoot and in the past, I have used other photographers. Halleh sat down with me beforehand and we discussed vision and put our idea’s together. She had some really good ideas too. In the end, I felt comfortable with her. Because honestly, I was mostly naked and/or showing a lot of skin for a good majority of the shoot lol. My pictures are sooo good! It was a good experience! I’d totally work with her again :)

beautiful photos!

Where do I begin! Halleh was the absolute best to work with and her photography skills are incredible. During our consultation she took the time to answer our questions and made us feel so comfortable. I'm so happy we chose to use her for our engagement shoot and our wedding. We were so happy with how everything turned out and would highly recommend her to to other couples searching for the perfect wedding photographer!

The BEST experience

Halleh has been SO amazing so far! We hired her for our wedding next year and the process has been so smooth and seamless. Our engagement shoot gave us a taste of what to look forward to for our wedding! If you're looking for elegant and Timeless photos you'll cherish for a lifetime, look no further. Halleh is your gal!

I didn't realize a photo session could be a date night!

We had our engagement photos taken by Halleh. I have never really liked having my picture taken, but was willing to put my best foot forward. I was so pleasantly surprised! She was able to help me loosen up, and even enjoy the entire shoot. We had so much fun getting the photos, it really felt like a date more than a task to complete. The photos we got are really precious. I was very skeptical about how much the photo shoot would cost, but it was really important to my now wife so I went along with it. I can say now that I am so glad that getting our photos was important to my wife, because now it is important to me too.

No awkward posing here! Just genuine love and great photos!

Halleh photography was phenomenal to work with. The photographer took the time to get to know my fiancé and I, in order to capture more quality photos and the special surprise film was so adorably well put together we were extremely happy with our experience. Halleh wasn't a posing type photographer, sure she gave suggestions on what we could do but instead of feeling awkward she had us converse and came out with some great photos! Next time we are in the area we will use Halleh Photgraphy & Film again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
