We hired Haile for both photography and videography at our wedding. While we were happy with the video, the photography experience was disappointing. Most of our photos were taken ...from a distance, making them feel repetitive and lacking intimacy. The photographer and videographer worked simultaneously, which resulted in many photos where we were talking rather than posed or candid in a meaningful way.
Before the wedding, we provided reference portraits we liked, but none were taken. After the ceremony, during the golden hour—a crucial time for photography—they declined to shoot, saying it was too dark and they lacked the necessary equipment. Additionally, they overlooked key details; for example, my veil was out of place during the ceremony, yet neither the photographer nor their assistant pointed it out.
After the wedding, I reached out with friendly feedback but never received a response. Ultimately, we were so unhappy with our couple photos that we had to reshoot them with another photographer three months later.
While the video was well done, I would not recommend him for wedding photography due to a lack of attention to detail, poor communication, and an unwillingness to accommodate our vision.
