Haley Eaglestar Photography

s been extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I will preface the editing and quality of how the photos turned out were nice, unfortunately, that was not enough as detailed below. During our wedding, Haley provided zero direction after we told was something we needed. She also did not help arrange our wedding party for group shots, so some people were facing straight on, some tuned at an angle and uneven spacing in between due to her lack of direction. We also didn’t get many group shots outside of just standing in a line because she wasn’t setting up any good group shots. After the ceremony, she just stood there while I had to wrangle my own guests and family for group shots, which was incredibly frustrating. My husband’s entire extended family (~50 people) got a picture and no one told me it was happening which should’ve been her job or delegate someone to do it. Her lack of professional foresight resulted in wedding party photos being ruined by wind because she didn't suggest moving to a different spot so none of the photos at that spot turned out well. We only went to 2 spots and that was the only spot we took individual shots with the wedding party. Most devastatingly, she failed to capture numerous key combinations from the list I provided, including the most important shot of the day: my husband’s reaction to me walking down the aisle. The communication, or lack thereof, has been beyond unprofessional. My previews were late based on the contract, and when I emailed her on August 18 to ask where my full gallery was, she ignored me completely for over a month. She finally posted the photos on September 25 without ever acknowledging my email or providing an update. This pattern continued when I reached out in October 2025 asking about the multiple missing images and after she told me she would look into it, I was ghosted for nearly six months until I followed up again in March. When she responded, she said she had been out due to mental heath. However, during that exact timeframe, I saw her active on Instagram, acknowledging that the wedding season had slowed down and soliciting new business. It is incredibly manipulative to claim a total inability to communicate as an excuse for ignoring a paid-in-full client while simultaneously hunting for new ones on social media. As of today, May 5, 2026, Haley has failed to deliver the raw files and the $1,000 refund installment she agreed to in writing to resolve this. She even sent me photos of her laptop screen as "proof" of work instead of actually delivering the files. If you value clear communication, timely delivery, or a photographer that provides any direction, I would look elsewhere.
