Haydon Photography

o wonderful and all our friends and family enjoyed them so much that I made a photo guest book so that we could enjoy them for years to come.

g, Gary took it upon himself to pick up my coordinators slack making sure people were where they needed to be at times, keeping drinks in my hand, and even fanning me to make sure I didn't get too hot during pictures after the ceremony. They even donned glow sticks during the last part of our reception and took selfies with our wedding party! I really can't say enough good things about them!

extremely busy and patient the day of the wedding, photographing everything. They were a great team and the event turned out to be so beautiful and such a wonderful day. They took the pictures to keep that memory fresh for a lifetime.

nt, and the photo layout of background vs positioning of the wedding party and guests was brilliant. I couldn't be more happy. Regarding the photographers themselves, they were on time, professional, and moved seamlessly throughout the wedding without being a focal point. I would definitely hire them again.

hort notice, but luckily it was a weekday and Jo Anna was available. Joe Anna was quick to respond to my email and was very helpful as I was planning my wedding. She asked exactly what we wanted in our photos and I could tell that our ideas and opinions were important to her. My husband and I had a private ceremony at Chapel Dulcinea. Jo Anna was so sweet when she was taking our pictures. She was passionate about her work and she was also genuinely happy for us. She was great at posing us to make beautiful pictures. We were able to see some of our pictures online a few weeks later, and within 2 months we had a disc with all of our photos. We are so happy with the pictures, and so happy with our decision to chose Haydon Photography.

sely keeping everything calm and on schedule on our wedding day. I could not have chosen better photographers. They are professional but make you feel at ease and natural in photos. We are so lucky to have found them!

accommodating, full of positivity and good ideas, very trustworthy, talented, and made me feel so comfortable at every moment. We had her take the engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and full wedding day photos. [Researching brides: I highly recommend this! Having her do everything for you will help establish a good working relationship and make you feel like family, come wedding day.] Spending time with Joe Anna and Gary is so fun, you won't even realize there's a camera after a while. They will make you laugh and create special memories while taking your pictures. Because we had spent so much time with them, once wedding day came and Joe Anna arrived, I was like... now everything will go just wonderfully- we can relax. And it did! [Even though we had an August wedding with pictures outside in the mid afternoon.] I loved the way they tended to every detail and all the extra little features they offer like photo/business cards to your guests, so they'll know where to find/order wedding pictures as well as the blog previews. Very special photographer!! Highly, highly recommend!

s of my daughter in both her dress and the family heirloom wedding dress. We were able to display three generations and five brides in my mother's wedding dress at the reception. The wedding pictures definitely bring out the solemnity of the ceremony, all of the love at the event and all the fun! The pictures captured not only the bride and groom but everyone from the oldest to the youngest in wonderful candid and staged pictures. We are so happy to have such an incredible photographic documentation of the entire happy time from the engagement through the reception. I cannot say enough great things about Haydon photography.

s and the wedding was over a year ago. I highly recommend them- wedding photography is not something you want to skimp on because all the other details (cake, flowers, favors, etc) only last the day, but the photos last a lifetime.

favorites out of all of the beautiful work that they did. I plan on using them again the next time we have a big event in our lives and would recommend them to anyone!

d requests and questions, which as a bride is very important. The price was reasonable compared to some of the other well-reviewed photographers out there. You can do a payment plan which worked well for me. The images they capture are very natural, which was apparent when we took engagement photos. Some photographers are too pushy with the session and then they get overzealous in Photoshop to the point where the pictures are a far cry from the sentiment of the the original scene and moment. If you like highly edited images, you would probably need to communicate that style upfront with them. From my experience, if you tell them what you want and share your vision, they deliver it just how you ordered it with beautiful photos you will look at over and over. On our wedding day, they put me, my groom, and the wedding party at ease. One thing I would have done differently was to discuss specifically all of the pictures I wanted beforehand. I assumed they would get everything I wanted without communicating that. I had too much on my mind the day of to think in the moment. I didn't end up with a picture of me and my house party girls, who helped decorate and pass out programs, and I didn't get any pictures with my bridesmaids one on one. But they got tons of amazing dancing pictures at the reception that really show how much fun we had! Joe Anna and Gary are a wonderful service to the Austin area and I'm happy to have discovered them. I wish them well with all future clients and endeavors. Book them and you'll be taken care of!

pregnant at the time but was a total trooper, climbing around on rocks at Zilker to capture the perfect image. I would highly recommend Joe Anna to any bride looking for a great, sweet photographer!

sonable cost compared to the other photographers. It was a pleasure working with Haydon Photography, and plan on working with them again for our family portraits with the birth of our new son.

wanted to speak with me - a big plus and certainly proved how personable she was right from the start. She was always easy to get a hold of and replied to emails and silly questions that we brides sometimes have. (thank you!) Both the engagement session and bridal session were perfect & the pictures turned out absolutely stunning. I don't know how many people told us the pictures looked like they belonged in a magazine... that is Joe Anna & Gary. The wedding day pictures, from what I've seen so far (we were just married a week and a half ago), have been beyond my greatest hopes. We had some sample pictures within days and were on the blog within a week!! There are not enough ways to say how impressed we have been and how thankful we both are. Choosing Haydon Photography was by far one of the best decisions we made in the whole wedding process. I would certainly recommend them to anyone! Thank you, Joe Anna & Gary - for helping to make our wedding even more special. =)

Gruene for our engagement photos in May and we had so much fun running around town with them. They really put us at ease and our photos turned out great. We love, love, love the Haydons! The best thing you could do have these two around on the happiest day of your life!

eat photographer should be. I love her style and vision in photography, which drew me to her in the first place. On top of that, she managed to coordinate my loud and crazy family with such an ease and grace. I also love showing off my wedding photos and having lots of people comment how they think I had a great photographer. I am truly grateful to Joe Anna for capturing one of the most important days of my life.

ding and truly love how they captured the entire day.

like they were being watched or posing. The photographs that resulted were very natural and bring me joy looking back on! She managed to give me 360 images even though my wedding was barely lasted 3 hours. I 100% recommend her, especially if you are having your wedding at Chapel Dulcinea!

n more pleased. They captured everything during the day and during the wedding and even had pictures of things I wouldn't have even thought of. Not only did our pictures turn out amazing but working with Joe Anne and Gary was so much fun. They are two of the nicest people I have ever met. They are very proffessional and they do everything they can to make things easier for you. I will be referring Haydon Photography to all my friends and will use them when the time comes for family pictures. Thank you Joe Anne and Gary for making our wedding day so special!! We love you!

lentine's Day, in more than five locations around the city. We got a great deal, with about 3 hours of shoot time and over a 100 edited and finished photos on our disc! Joe Anna even re-edited one shot that we are using on our save-the-dates months later (it was in black and white, she gave us three color options on request). She really went out of her way to please us, and the end product is so beautiful, and we've had so many compliments already. I HIGHLY recommend Haydon Photography for any professional photography needs.

to respond to any questions we had. They will do what they can to get back to you & give you the answers you need asap. They also mail & email a digital copy of all your signed paperwork & payments, which in the end is extremely helpful. They are young, fresh & full of ideas. They are intuitive & are not afraid to give suggestions. They share a true passion for what they do & always know what is best & it most definitely reflects in their work. Their photography is clear, creative & of spectacular quality. I got amazing reviews from family after our first round of photos 2weeks after the wedding, as promised. Family shared how amazing & friendly our photographers were. Gary & Joe Anna are very sweet & fit right in with family. They are honest & will not let you down. And best of all, they are fabulous friends! Love, love them:) Of all the vendors we chose for our wedding day, Gary & Joe Anna were by far the most professional & responsible!! Definitely our favorite:)

able in front of a camera. JoeAnna and Gary did our engagement, my bridal and our wedding photos. All of the photos are more beautiful than I could ever imagine. They captured so many precious moments and I am so thankful for finding them. We will continue to use them for future life moments.

to know us personally and were so accommodating to our requests and questions. They took our engagement and wedding day photos, and every shot turned out to be better than I imagined. We feel so lucky that Joe Anna and Gary shared their beautiful talent with us. So many of our guests commented on how down to earth and professional they were. They came early (as a last minute request) and stayed later than we had originally planned to capture the last few moments of the night. Even more perks of choosing them as our photographers included getting sneak peek pictures on their blog after only a week, having two sets of hands to help with lighting, props, cleaning my shoes after stepping in mud, etc, and having the printing rights to every picture they took of us (a HUGE bonus!). In both our engagement and wedding photos, they were able to so perfectly combine our personal style with their own to create unique images with our names written all over them! They picked up on so many of our preferences immediately and were able to make our vision for our pictures a reality. They also took what they knew about us to make recommendations about shots and locations that we had not even thought of! Not only would I recommend Haydon Photography to all my friends in the area, I would insist on them. I could really go on and on about how much we adore these two forever. In our eyes our wedding was absolutely perfect, and they were a huge part of making it that way. We will be forever thankful for how well they were able to capture every special detail and moment of our wedding!

aking pictures so much fun! Their commitment, love, and sincere passion for what they do really shows in all that they do. Joe Anna and Gary are so very accommodating to your needs and will make the entire process fun and easy. Gary even worked our wedding on his birthday!! They not only get the typical portrait pictures throughout the wedding, but also the fun in the moment pictures that really last a lifetime and will make you cry laughing so hard remembering the fun times you had. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer with 100% confidence! I can't wait to use them in the future when our family starts to grow! The most sincere thanks to Joe Anna and Gary, we love you guys very much!
