Hayley Zumkeller Photography & Videography

Hayley is simply the BEST around for Vancouver Island weddings! Our wedding photos felt like such a breeze with her there to guide us. I had little idea what kind of photos I wanted, and Hayley was wonderful with asking questions, assessing the vibe of our wedding to make suggestions and help us decide, and making sure we ended up with a mix of lovely posed photos and fun candid photos that captured the day perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough!! If you want a fun, laid-back, friendly, knowledgeable, super professional and INCREDIBLY TALENTED photographer, she is your gal.

I could not recommend her more. Her photos are clean, crisp, and timeless. Funny enough, I was one of Hayleys first photography sessions waaaayy back in the day when she was just getting used to the camera. Looking at her photography progress into such an incredible business has been amazing. There is a difference between somebody who is good at taking photos, and somebody who is a good photographer. She is a good photographer. Her excitement radiates through her shoots and you feel so comfortable behind the camera when feeding off her energy.

It’s hard to know where to start with how many amazing things I can say about working with Hayley. Her genuine passion and excitement for the work she does shines through while she’s photographing you. This energy and joy is so contagious that anyone who may be feeling nervous or unsure is instantly at ease with Hayley. The end result is truly magical photos that capture the people, the venue, and all the little details in the most special way. We will continue to use Hayley to photograph all of our most important moments and cannot recommend her enough.

We had Hayley shoot our engagement and wedding photos this past fall and we are so happy she did! The photos look great and she was lovely to work with. Hayley made any of the awkwardness of having your photo taken go away with her easy going demeanor.

Brings your personality to life on camera.She also has an innate ability to capture candid poses in an authentic way - but also knows your best angle for a posed photo worthy of a Vogue cover.

Hayley came highly recommended by my sister and after our first meeting with her, I knew immediately that she was the perfect choice as our wedding photographer. Hayley’s bright personality, intuitiveness, open and easy style of communication made her an absolute pleasure to deal with. We felt confident that she would capture ‘Our Day’ beautifully. And that she did! Hayley’s amazingly talented eye captured the emotions of our Love Story, in every breathtaking image. The genuine spontaneity of each moment, so beautifully expressed. We will be forever grateful for her thoughtfulness in capturing the speeches on video. An unexpected gift that will be treasured by us and our families, always. How special it is to be brought back to that day and experience all the feelings of those wonderful moments. Hayley, Thank you so much xo.We definitely look forward to working with you again!Angela and Rick Taylor

Hayley did the photos at our wedding in June 2021. From the moment she got there she was so helpful, attentive, and comfortable to be around. It felt like we had known eachother for ages.

We loved how responsive she was. Haley was always keeping us updated and on the same page. You can tell she genuinely loves her job as a photographer.

Hayley is an amazing photographer and provided me with gorgeous headshots. I would highly recommend her and I am looking forward to booking her in the future.
