Hayley is AMAZING! She held our hand through every step of the way from the initial consultation to wedding day. We also had her shoot our engagement photos and my bridal portraits...

d to reschedule our wedding for July 2021 due to COVID. Prior to the wedding, she was always incredibly organized and responsive. On the wedding day, Hayley was incredibly professional, personable, and knowledgeable. My husband and I are a little nervous in front of the camera, but she really made us feel at ease in front of the camera. We were thrilled and surprised when we received 75+ “sneak peek” photos a week after our wedding. Her photos are stunning, and we LOVE her light and airy style. The full gallery is amazing – the staged photos are great and there are so many great candid shots from our day! We will forever cherish all of the beautiful photos in the gallery. We highly recommend Hayley’s services for any of your photography needs! Thank you so much, Hayley!

Hayley has been absolutelly incredible to work with. When we got engaged in December of 2019, I wanted to find a photographer who was going to capture how beautiful our day was. I ...
reached out to a photographer who had great reviews, who unfortunately was moving. But she sent me Hayley's information, told me she had been a second shooter with her before and indicated their style was similar. DREAM PHOTOGRAPHER!!! She has worked so diligently to make this process easy and simple, even with the wild world that COVID has created. Hayley was our photographer for our engagement pictures, did our intimate minimony wedding, and has graciously worked with us to allow us to utilize her services next year when we can finally have our full reception with everyone we wanted at the wedding. WE ADORE HER!!! And the photos of our day are perfection <3 Thank you so much, Hayley!! <3
From the moment I reached out to Hayley to inquire about her availability and options she welcomed me with thoughtful ideas and helpful tips (as well as an amazing "what to expect"...
type guidebook). Throughout the process Hayley was always organized, punctual and professional but more importantly she was warm and friendly. During engagement photos she worked well with our awkwardness and made us feel normal (not an easy task). During my bridal portraits she thought through each detail and the photos were stunning. She also made an extremely quick turn-around to ensure that I had digital copies available in time to display prints at the wedding. On our wedding day Hayley came prepared and organized from our previous meetings to take on our day. She blended in with the crowd but made herself known to ensure all of the correct moments were captured. Her photos are bright and graceful and they captured many planned moments but also many spontaneous moments from our day. My husband and I had an amazing experience with Hayley Gastiger Photography. We will always appreciate the time and effort that Hayley put into the photos she took for us. She has a passion for photography and it shines through in her work. We highly recommend that any couple looking for a wedding photographer should reach out to her. You will not be disappointed.
My husband and I can't even begin to describe how incredible it was to have Hayley photograph our wedding day!! From our first inquiry email to our album delivery, she was there ev...
ery step of the way. She made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and was very knowledgeable when it came to posing. We are a little awkward when it comes to that and she made us feel like models at our engagement session and on our wedding day. Her photos are stunning and we LOVE her bright and colorful style. We have received so many compliments on the photos we have shared with family and friends so far. We are so happy with our decision and would highly recommend her to any other engaged couples!
We LOVE Hayley and all of the pictures we got! I can't stop looking at them! She was so sweet and easy to work with, made us feel at ease in front of the camera, and created an all...

nd genuine wedding photographer. She made everything so easy and made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. She was very quick to respond no matter how big or small our question was and handled everything with grace. We had such a great time on our wedding and I think a lot of this was due to Hayley being so positive and upbeat throughout the entire day. Our first look was so special and if it weren't for Hayley, we probably wouldn't have even thought to do one at all. Our amazing gallery and beautiful photos will be cherished forever!

as super professional, quick to respond to all emails, calls, and texts, sweet, kind, and proactive. We received an awesome welcome gift with lots of goodies and a full wedding guide that was so fun to look through. It answered most, if not all, of our wedding day questions and was so useful to have on hand. Our engagement session was so much fun and the gallery that was delivered totally blew us away and go us SO excited for our wedding photos. Our wedding day went flawlessly and Hayley captured each and every moment perfectly. She delivered the gallery a week early and I don't think I have ever cried so much over photos. My husband and I will cherish them forever! We highly recommend Hayley!!!

Hayley was the best choice we could have made in a photographer!

s goes to Hayley and her assistant photographer. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Well prepared and well planned which made the entire photo process (getting ready, first look, and beyond) a total breeze. It also helps that she has a great sense of humor and was on top of any last mute adjustments that needed to be made.
If I ever get married again - Hayley you had better be there to take the photos of me and Chris Evans.
I am not sure even where to begin because Hayley was more than just an incredible photographer, but is now someone that I consider a dear friend!! My now husband and I met Hayley o...
ver coffee at the very beginning of the booking process and we ended up staying there chatting for almost 3 hours!! She didn't go straight into the business portion of it, but genuinely wanted to get to know the both of us. She is SO sweet and outgoing and really knows everything there is to know about what she does. Our engagement session was more fun than I could have ever imagined and I don't think I have ever laughed as much. She sent 15 sneak peeks that same night and we were both totally blown away. We knew that our wedding day was in very very good hands. Hayley showed up early and even brought me my favorite coffee order! How sweet?! The day went flawlessly and she was able to provide such great direction to everyone. My family still raves how quickly she was able to get through family photos! She sent us sneak peeks the next day as we were getting ready to leave for our honeymoon and my husband and I cried like babies right there in the airport. She totally blew our expectations and I couldn't recommend someone more! If you want to be in good hands, make a new friend, and receive overly gorgeous photos, Hayley is the one you want!
Hayley photographed my now husband and I's wedding and she was absolutely AMAZING!!! She is so so talented and was such a great person to work with. She made us feel so comfortable...
and our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined! We highly recommend her for her photography services!
decision!!! From the very beginning Hayley was so sweet, professional, organized, and personable. After taking our engagement photos and then seeing our gallery, we were literally ...
on cloud nine with how they turned out and couldn't wait for her to take our wedding day photos! She arrived early on the wedding day just so she could go around and meet everyone and that really meant a lot to us. The wedding day went so smoothly with her guiding us in everything we needed to do for pictures and has such a positive mood throughout the entire day. She sent us sneak peeks the very next day and had our full gallery back to us a week early. If you are looking for an amazing photographer, Hayley is the girl for you!!! 10/10 would recommend!!!
