Hey, I’m Haley Hawn

After the whirlwind experience of planning my own wedding in 2017, I decided to turn my long time hobby into a career. I’m driven by emotion, vulnerability, and helping each of my couples create the experience they want to have on their wedding day. Nothing makes me happier than seeing you two come together and enjoy a stress free wedding day — after all,

I capture the best and most meaningful images when you two get to slow down, relax, and take in every moment with intention.

  • We are so grateful we found Haley for our wedding photographer! She makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable while shooting, and we knew we wanted someone who was skilled in capturing the candid moments of our big day and she absolutely killed it. One of our favorite parts of our wedding was our venue, and she captured the beauty and charm of it in such an incredible way. And we LOVE how she still likes to utilize film in some of her shots! Don't hesitate to book Haley for your big day!

  • This is who you want to hire! My wife and I recently hired Haley for our wedding and I can confidently say, she is exactly the photographer you want for yours. Haley managed everything leading up to wedding day with ease and she did an outstanding job of getting to know us and understand what would be important to us on wedding day and it showed up in our photos.

    SAM & TAYLOR

  • I CANNOT RECOMMEND HALEY ENOUGH!! I spent a lot of time researching photographers and while they all start to blend together, Haley’s photos and tone really stood out. I’m so happy we went with her- she is so easy to work with, she acts like another friend who is at the wedding, you can tell she genuinely cares about her couples and every aspect of her work

    AARON & SAM

  • There honestly aren't enough words to describe what a great experience it was to work with Haley, nor are there enough to describe how much we loved her work. We can't wait to have an excuse to work with her again in the future!

Best Time of Year to Get Married in Jackson Hole, WY

My favorite time of year to photograph weddings in Jackson Hole, is hands down June - September. If you’re getting married in these months, you can expect warmer temperatures, predictable afternoon rains that typically clear by evening, and tons of greenery and wildlife.

If you’re getting married between December - March, you can expect lots of snow, cold temperatures, and will need some kind of indoor venue, whether it’s a heated tent, or a stunning ranch or lodge.

I do not recommend outdoor weddings in Jackson Hole during the months of April, May, October, & November. These are known as ‘shoulder season’ and are typically very wet, muddy, and brown. You can definitely have your ceremony and reception indoors, but if you are wanting the iconic wedding photos against the Tetons, you may be very disappointed.
