About this vendor
After all the planning for the best day of your lives, the only two things you will walk away from your wedding with is your new husband and your photos. We go above and beyond to ensure the best quality of photos so you can relive your wedding day over and over for the rest of your lives. I'll keep things 100% honest with you, so if you look awkward, I will coach and guide you into the best pose so you look comfortable and natural. If you're having a nighttime ceremony, I will explain to you that I need some daylight photos and a first look miiiiiight be the best idea. I know some family members may like things more traditional, so I'll make sure to get the groom's reaction when you walk down the aisle.

Heather did an incredible job with our wedding! We are still blown away. I didn't have any expectations because I knew how great her work was but when we received our pictures, the...
y were everything we dreamed of and even more. She captured the smallest details to help us remember everything about the day. I highly recommend her for your next event. You will be in love!
Heather was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the wedding planning process! Within about a week of me inquiring, we had a zoom meeting and booked for the big day! Commun...
ication was prompt if I ever needed anything or had questions! I love that I was able to do our engagement session and my bridal portraits with her as well. They turned out absolutely stunning. Heather made sure to have one last meeting with me prior to our wedding to make sure all the bases were covered. When we received our wedding gallery back, I cried so many happy tears at all the moments she captured. It was so special to see pictures of parts that I did not get to see in real time. She captured moments I vividly remembered being so special and even some I forgot even happened. My biggest thing was I wanted pictures of everyone having fun at the reception and she DELIVERED! We laughed until we cried at some of them. Not only is Heather an amazing photographer, she is so kind and sweet and truly was a joy to work with!
I will start by saying that I don't normally write reviews but I can't say enough kind words about Heather and her work. My now husband and I had her photograph both our engagement...
at the beach in January and our wedding in September. Heather is a pleasure to work with she is calm, kind and funny. Her process of taking our photos made us feel very comfortable and OMG, the results are so beautiful. It is impossible to pick favorites from either session because there are just so many good ones. It is obvious lots of love, time and skill are put into the final product. We cannot recommend her enough. Choosing her was easily one of the best decisions we made when wedding planning.
Heather was the photographer for two of my best friends weddings here recently, and my ONLY complaint is that I didn’t use her for my own!!! Both my friends shared their wedding ph...
oto albums with me, and WOW. Just wow!! She was amazing on the day of the weddings - posing, positioning, capturing candids, and still getting all the little details in between. She was such a huge part of the day & had so much fun with us. Don’t wait to book her!!!
Heather was the first vendor we hired for our wedding (I knew I wanted her so I had to make sure I got her haha). She was super helpful and professional. After we booked, she sent ...
a whole booklet explaining everything we needed to know about wedding photos. Such as what to wear to engagement photos, benefits of a first look, etc. She also was available when I emailed or texted her and was pretty quick to respond (even while working a 9-5 job). Heather always got our photos back faster than she predicted. I actually had to check the date at one point because she got them back so fast haha. She even sent us sneak peek photos the DAY after our wedding. For our wedding, Heather did our engagement photos and wedding photos, my bridal portraits, and boudoir photos for my husband. (Definitely do boudoir photos if you’re thinking about it, that was so fun and empowering). The package we chose also included a photo book. We loved it so much that we also bought our parents each one for Christmas. Heather is an amazing photographer. We booked her for our May 2021 wedding, but also ended up using her later in 2021 as well for maternity and newborn photos. We’re sad that we won’t be able to use her for any other professional photos until we have another baby! If you need a photographer for anything wedding or maternity related and like light and airy photos, Heather is your photographer. ❤️
Heather is the best! She took the time to get to know me and my now husband before we met for engagement photos. As a couple who never had professional photos, Heather prepared us ...
to be comfortable in front of the camera for our wedding day. She travelled with us for our wedding day and was so go with the flow and professional! Our photos are amazing and we have SO many to look back on. I’m thankful to have had Heather as our photographer and would choose her again!
Heather & HYP Images was truly one of the best parts of our wedding experience. She made us feel so comfortable and ready for our big day, especially starting with the engagement p...
hotoshoot. Leading up to the wedding, Heather was very communicative and supportive while coordinating schedule/timing and logistics, partnering with my wedding planner as well. The wedding day was nothing short of perfect - she was efficient and kept us so relaxed and engaged. We got every single shot we wanted, and they all turned out so perfectly. We are so grateful to have those memories forever!
HYPimages is truly amazing! Heather is a fantastic photographer and honestly the sweetest person ever. My husband and I were and still are absolutely in LOVE with our engagement an...
d wedding photos. Heather goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy with each and every photo! If you need a photographer contact HYPimages. You won’t regret it!!
Heather was so easy to work with from the moment we reached out. She provided information on what to wear if we wanted and also helped guide us to a good spot. Unfortunately, the ...
weather was not looking good for us so she made other arrangements. She was also very patient with us and very on top of her game. While we were nervous it was going to be odd posing, Heather made it fun! We had a variety of cute, sweet, romantic and serious photos and we will cherish them forever.
First let me say I typically do not write reviews unless something was really bad or really good. Well for this one, really good is not an adequate description for the photography ...
services Heather provided. We were beyond satisfied and Heather along with the pictures were awesome!! With the unpredictability of COVID-19, our wedding location changed about a month before our wedding date which meant to we had to start over with finding all vendors. Heather came as a suggestion from my cousin who is one of her coworkers. Soon after finding out Heather was available for our wedding date, we secured her and it was nothing less than a pleasant experience from initial contact to post wedding. She was professional, personable, punctual, detailed, and super easy to work with! After reviewing her past work, we were confident we would have good pictures to remember the day but what we got exceeded our expectations! Heather didn’t just take pictures; she captured the moment! You can just feel the love from looking at the pictures and every time I view them, I get butterflies all over again just like that special day. We are very grateful the connection was made with Heather because she gave us a priceless gift that just keeps on giving! If you are contemplating securing HYPimages for your photography needs, do yourself a favor and just do it! I promise you will NOT regret it!
I would choose Heather 100,000 times over! We love her! She is the most down to earth person you’ll meet! She was always super easy to talk to and always gave great advice! And the...
n her pictures! OMG! I can’t even begin to explain how AMAZING her pictures are! She done our engagement shoot as well as our wedding and we still look back and drool over them! She’s our go to photographer 😍🥰
We cannot give Heather enough stars! From the moment we reached out to her she has been on top of EVERYTHING. She is professional, organized, creative, and makes you feel like your...
best friend is shooting your wedding day. My husband and I planned our wedding together following The Knot timeline vs using a professional planner and we couldn’t have done it without Heather’s help and input in everything along the way. She turned an industrial garage door into the most beautiful engagement photos, included our dog in engagement AND wedding photos, tolerated corralling toddlers for photos (saint), made me multiple timelines to choose from and edit over and over, stayed late to get the perfect wedding exit photos when we didn’t want the party to end, shot every detail and laugh but you’d also not notice she was there, and genuinely made us feel like the most important and beautiful people in the whole world. Heather made both of us feel comfortable behind the camera and captured every giggle between planned shots. She is efficient in getting through what needs to be done, and captured all the fun moments in between and on the dance floor (and boy were there a lot)! It’s been almost a month since our wedding and we are STILL hearing how amazing the photos are from all of our guests and how amazing Heather managed everyone all day. She was an absolute joy to work with, we will definitely be using her for any photos we need, will recommend her to EVERYONE, and if we’re lucky, be our friend for life :)
The very best you can ask for. Heather is the sweetest, most talented person I’ve seen. My husband, myself, and our family’s have all loved every single image we have received from...
her. She knows exactly how she wants you to pose and helps to make sure she gets the perfect image. If you need a photographer, book her, you’ll never regret a minute of it 💖

nd our pictures turned out amazing. We somehow looked like naturals! She helped so much with the flow of getting ready and staying on a timeline. I’ve been in weddings before where pictures take so much time and seem stressful. Ours was so organized thanks to her! After the big day is over all you have is your memories and thank goodness we have amazing pictures to go back and look through. My husband and I just celebrated our 1st anniversary and I just sat and looked back over all of our pictures feeling so thankful we chose Heather to capture our day perfectly! You won’t be disappointed, now go book her!

Five stars is not enough! Our wedding is not until May, but this past month she shot our engagement photos. They are absolutely stunning, better than I could have ever imagined. I ...
am having a hard time picking just one for our save the date. Her photo access portal is user-friendly and very easy to navigate/share/buy prints. Heather is extremely easy to work with, she responds quickly and feels like more than just your photographer. Not only did she help us feel natural and comfortable during the shoot, but she provided us with expert tips beforehand to prepare! I could go on and on, but I will just say, I HIGHLY recommend Heather. I am so excited to work with her for our wedding and I have full confidence that she will help make our day perfect!

the encouragement and direction that we needed during both our engagement session and on our wedding day. Her attention to detail, photography skills, thoroughness, professionalism, and great personality make her the ideal photographer. During the planning process, she answered our multitude of questions. She truly made every step of planning our wedding less stressful. On the wedding day, Heather taught us how to cut our cake, helped organize the family, helped me with my veil, and captured every moment perfectly. I recommend Heather to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. She is a true gem.

Heather is amazing! She did our engagement session, the bridals and our wedding. As a friend, she did an amazing job of keeping everything professional and making sure that we got ...
all the pictures we needed! She taught us basic poses during our engagement session so by the wedding we were more comfortable in front of the camera! Her attitude/personality is one of the things that makes the whole experience way better! During our wedding she got bit by ants and even with a swollen ankle she didn’t let that stop her from doing an amazing job on our photos!! These are the photos that we will be looking back at for years to come and they are absolutely amazing! We are extremely thankful and grateful that Heather was our photographer!! She will definitely be our go to photographer for the future!! Thanks for being you!!

attaching my veil to showing us how to cut our cake, she walked us through everything and went above and beyond.

I cannot thank her enough for helping make our day perfect and would highly recommend her to anyone.

d out for when the sun would be setting to get the best light. She listened to the items that were important to me to make sure she spent extra time and effort capturing those parts of the day. I also used Heather for our engagement pictures (included in her packages), my bridal portraits (which we had a hard time picking from because they were all so great), and then a boudoir session. She made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout all sessions. She was professional in knowing what posses to do so that they looked natural and not staged. She was even accommodating in editing an object out of a picture to please my mom! :)
We can't say enough about Heather and HYPimages. From the moment we first met Heather at a wedding we worked together, we knew she'd be wonderful to work with. She has such a warm ...
and inviting personality and is such a joy to talk to. She's creative, patient, fun and cool under pressure. What more can you ask for?! And her images speak for themselves...amazing! We're honored to call her a colleague and always get excited when we see we're working together!
We loved every second of working with Heather! From our engagement session to the wedding day she was fantastic and there isn't a picture we dont LOVE. On top of all this it was FU...
