Hailey Ayson Photography

We are a Northern California-based wedding and portrait photography business that has been capturing love stories in full color since 2012. Our mission is to advocate for every kind of love story, and we pride ourselves on being a brand that celebrates joyful, colorful, and diverse weddings. Our team is passionate about telling authentic stories through our photographs, and we strive to keep our clients present while their special moments are happening.

As your wedding photographer, our job is to take notice of the little moments that make your wedding day unique - cheeks kissed, glasses cheered, eyes watering - while keeping your timeline flowing, organizing family portraits, making sure you stay hydrated, and being your calm. We understand that your wedding day is about more than just taking photos, which is why we are committed to being your resource for all things wedding. With over 11 years of experience in the wedding industry and hundreds of weddings under our belt, we have plenty of hard-earned knowledge to share!

Our Approach

We believe in wedding-centered photos instead of photo-centered weddings. Our photographer-client relationship reaches far beyond the wedding day. In the months leading up to the big day, we'll be by your side with questionnaires, timeline advice, and vendor referrals in hand. We're here for the photos, yes, but we're also here as your resource for all things wedding.

Our approach to photography is to capture emotive, cohesive, and timeless images. We shoot with the goal of making the world a more accepting and beautiful place, and we believe that photography can be an incredible tool for advocacy. Our values are reflected in our work, and we are committed to promoting love, acceptance, and human rights through our photographs.

Our Photographer

Hi, I'm Hailey, the photographer and owner of this business. I'm a wife, mom of three, and a photographer of weddings and all the important life stages that precede and follow. I'm based out of Folsom, California, and I feel lucky to have the beautiful mountains, beaches, and vineyards of Northern California within reach.

I've had a camera in hand since I was about 10 years old, photographing my sister, my pets, and inanimate objects around the house. I took four years of photography courses and booked my first wedding when I was 19. I've come a long way since then, and I now shoot with the goal of capturing emotive, cohesive, and timeless images.

Outside of photography, I love almond milk vanilla lattes, Seinfeld, drawing with my kids, true crime podcasts, and lazy Sundays. I'm also an advocate for love, acceptance, and human rights, and I believe that everyone deserves to be photographed with dignity and respect.
