    Great style and energy for camera shy couples!

    We hired Haley on pretty short notice, and she really came through and ensured we'd have the engagement session of my Pinterest-board dreams! Neither my fiance or I have any experience in front of a camera, and we were fully prepared for an awkward-looking session 😅 Haley is a ball of energy and feels like an insta-bestie, and she made us feel so comfy that our photos turned out just lovely. I'd absolutely recommend her, and I look forward to working with her again!

    best of the best!

    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 was 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!

    Just the BEST!

    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.

    So much better than I would have ever expected!

    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 advantage 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!

    Hiring Haley was the best decision we made when planning

    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 be 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!

    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!

    A Talented Photographer Turned Friend

    I cannot say enough about Haley and how awesome she was! Aside from taking gorgeous and fun shots for engagement photos + wedding, She filled in the gap‘s for several things throughout the evening including putting on my veil because hair/makeup left an hour before the wedding started!

    Definitely would recommended!

    Haley was sweet and genuine from the start. She took time to get to know our story, listened to our needs and wedding dreams and totally came through. We spoke on the phone, texted and emailed until the wedding so I felt totally confident the day of. She juggled our getting ready, transitions from the church to reception venue, giant boisterous families and communicating with other vendors. She was so kind through it all and we are forever grateful she was a part of our day.

Her ideas for photos, her interactions with me and our guests and her overall preparedness and creativity was unmatched. Haley is a star and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

    An Amazing and Talented Photographer

    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, attentive, 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 Maria Smith Photography's reply:

    Yeah, this was an absolutely magical session!! You two are sooooo much fun to be around and I am getting way too excited for your wedding this fall!!

    One in a million

    Haley has done many shoots for my family and I! She’s amazing and always goes above and beyond. She has never disappointed me even with how high our expectations are! I would recommend Haley to anyone having an event. She will capture the best memories 🤗 thank you Haley for being AWESOME!!!

    Haley Maria Smith Photography's reply:

    Ok, but this session was OUT OF CONTROL with the sunset and the fog and that view of the valley... and SOPHIA! Take me back! Thank you so much for including me and I literally can't wait to shoot your wedding this summer!!

    Fun, loving photographer who gives confidence!

    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! Lucky 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 ;)

    Engagement & Wedding

    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 Maria Smith Photography's reply:

    Oh my goodness--you two were SO MUCH FUN to photograph and you made me laugh too! Can't wait to capture the joy of your wedding day this coming year.

    Wonderful!!!

    I am so very thankful to have found Haley! She was wonderful before, during and after the wedding and the photos are beautiful. I looked around for what seemed forever and only found people who were charging 4500-6000 but not Haley! She is also very reasonably priced. She is so fun and has a perfect personality for this! You'll love her :)

    Best photographer ever

    Haley is INCREDIBLE! She did our wedding and captured the day beautifully - she listened to what we wanted and what was important to us, made our bridal party and family comfortable, 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!

    Absolutely amazing

    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 Haley 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.

    Zero doubt about it, you and Sky threw the BEST wedding of the year and your dancing skills are unmatched. It was such an honor to be included on this sweet day in your lives!!

    Can’t recommend 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, in 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!

    Best experience ever!!!!!

    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 photos, 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!

    Hiring Haley is a No-Brainer!

    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 specific 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!!
