Archer Inspired

s on the details (flowers, décor, music), but what you don’t often think about is the person who will be by your side during all of those intimate, once-in-a-lifetime moments: your photographer. Hailey was exactly who we needed! She was incredibly organized, managed our large wedding party with ease, worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and captured every detail in the most beautiful way. Beyond just taking photos, she brought a sense of calm, joy, and professionalism that truly enhanced the day. Hailey didn’t just highlight our wedding; she elevated it! We are beyond grateful for her, and I cannot recommend her enough to any couple planning their special day.

ngs on big days like a wedding, and also they can be the most nerve wracking. Hailey made it fun and easy and we love looking at our photos so much more remembering the good time we had. Hailey is a genuinely great person and incredibly talented. We have a great array of shots - romantic, candid, portrait, artsy, etc. She’s creative and quick to figure it all out and can’t thank her enough for all we get to treasure from our engagement and wedding.

th my camera shyness to the point where I felt comfortable and relax. She has an amazing eye for capturing the perfect moments—she knew exactly which shots would highlight us as a couple who love all things horror, and she gave our photos just the right vibe. The shots she got around the house are absolutely stunning and unique, and we’ll treasure them forever. As we start our journey to begin our family, we’re def planning to book Hailey for our future family portraits. Highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also fun, patient, and creative!

p with little details throughout the day. She even helped with hair and had extra supplies I didn’t even realize I would need, which saved the day more than once. What impressed me most was how personal she made the experience—she knew people by name and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her skill and eye for detail are truly unmatched. The photos are absolutely stunning, but beyond that, she was such a calm, supportive, and helpful presence on one of the most important days of our lives. I cannot recommend her highly enough—she’s not just a photographer, she’s a wedding-day lifesaver

er availability to make sure I chose a date she had open). She is incredibly responsive, kind, caring, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Both my husband and I haven’t really gotten professional photos done before. We knew we were going to be very awkward and had no idea what to do on our wedding day, but Hailey made sure we warmed up and got us comfortable real quick! The photos were exactly as I was hoping for. If I was able to redo my wedding day, I would 100% choose her again!! There is nobody better!

his way of putting me at ease and showing us how to look our best without feeling stiff or awkward. As a queer couple, it was also really important to us to feel safe and comfortable, and Hailey made that happen effortlessly. She respected us, celebrated us, and made the experience joyful instead of nerve-wracking. She also has such a great eye and she scouted out the perfect spots for photos, ones that felt authentic to us and captured the vibe of our day perfectly. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience or more beautiful photos. Highly recommend Hailey if you want someone who’s easygoing, talented, and truly cares about her couples.

ey helped put us at ease. Neither of us is a natural in front of a camera, but she made us feel really comfortable and we were able to be completely in the moment throughout the whole day. She was so calm and communicative with us throughout the entire process, from the first call to our engagement shoot to the wedding day itself. She is also—and I can’t emphasize this enough—SO.FREAKIN.TALENTED! She has an amazing artistic eye, works super efficiently, and captured the day so gorgeously, from the formal portraits to the candid dance floor shots. Every time we look at the photos, we get such a spark of joy. I am beyond grateful that her photos will help us relive these special moments for the rest of our lives. I would make the same choice in wedding photographer a thousand times over!

well she captured the fun and love at their event, and we're happy to report she exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend her to anybody. My husband and I are not necessarily used to being the focus of photos, but Hailey made the entire process fun and comfortable and really brought out our best. She made the couple/family/group shots easy and smooth, and then the rest of the night she did a fantastic job capturing tons of great moments while we got to fully focus on enjoying our event and our guests. For our engagement photos, Hailey got every shot we could imagine and more, with a perfect blend of romantic and fun photos, as well as great photos celebrating everything from the detail of our rings to the natural beauty of the garden where we were holding our ceremony. For the actual ceremony, Hailey used the garden to the fullest, capturing a huge variety of elements and backgrounds. Our reception was at an interactive science museum, and she made the most of that venue as well, capturing tons of shots of our guests playing with the exhibits along with all the “traditional” photos like dinner and dancing. We also had a lot of smaller details we were really proud of, like our centerpieces and name cards and desserts with nerdy theming, and she made sure to get tons of pictures of all of that so we can appreciate those details forever. On top of the actual photos, Hailey was also basically a bonus wedding planner who gave amazing feedback on the timeline of our day. She gave great logistical tips on when and where to get our couple/party/family/large group shots, and she also gave fun ideas for the reception timeline and incorporating photography into the flow to actively improve the event. One of our favorite examples was staging a large group photo with all our guests on the dance floor, then immediately starting the music so everyone was already there and just started dancing. Hailey was both extremely organized and super flexible - we met over the phone a couple weeks before the big day to talk through the plan, then when the light and the timeline were cooperating better than expected day-of, she adapted with us on the fly to do our group/family/party photos early so we could enjoy even more of our cocktail hour. We also decided at the last minute to do two parallel aisles at our ceremony to walk down simultaneously, and Hailey rolled with the challenge and captured amazing photos of both sides. In summary, Hailey / Archer Inspired was fantastic to work with and was honestly one of the highlights of our wedding. We highly recommend her to anybody!

d our hefty deposit of $375.00 and signed a contract. Upon all of the COVID-19 madness, our venue was shut down and we had no idea if it would remain open... along with other personal financial struggles (we both were laid off and have a child). ALL of our other vendors were so understanding and gracious enough to give our deposits back to us, except for Hailey. I wanted to make sure other soon to be married couples are fully aware of her EXTREMELY strict non refundable deposit policy. In times of crises it is important to pay attention to business ethics such as this - and ask yourself, is this the type of person you want to support?

she made it a breeze. I was nervous picking a photographer however after talking and facetiming with Hailey she made me feel at ease that our day would be absolutely perfect. We had a small wedding and she helped put together a schedule for the day and kept us on track and was very professional and personable. We had never had photos done before and she made it fun and easy. Our pictures were AMAZING. I still get compliments weekly on how great they turned out and questions on who did them. They were gorgeous and natural. She is constantly posting on her social - so if you need any proof just look there. If you choose Archer Inspired for your big day you are in for a treat!

get to know us. She was a delight to work with and always on the ball. I highly recommend her to anyone in the California area and beyond! (My wedding was in Colorado and she traveled out for it, so don't be afraid to ask if you're out of state.)
