THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Haley Folkman
Hi there, I'm Haley - a wedding photographer with a love for beauty and timeless images. When it comes to wedding photography, my philosophy is simple: deliver gorgeous images without making you feel like your wedding day is only about taking photos. I want for you to enjoy the day with the people who matter most to you - and I firmly believe people look their best when they're laughing and genuinely enjoying themselves.
​
I live in Austin, Texas with my husband Connor. We love exploring the local food scene and often travel to other states and countries. On a Friday night, you can find us snuggled up on the couch, eating popcorn, and watching Netflix.
​
A LITTLE ABOUT MY APPROACH
My process is centered around you, from the customization of a package to suit your wedding needs to really diving in to get to know you so I can deliver a gallery that fits your personality.
​
I recognize it can be intimidating being in front of a professional camera, so I do everything I can to advise you on locations & outfits, lighten the mood when we're together, bring out your best angles, and overall help you feel your best.
​
Your photos will be a blend of timeless elegance and creativity that are unique to you. I have processes I use through all my shoots that inform my style, but each session or wedding is unique and that should be reflected in your gallery.
A NOTE ABOUT PRICING
Please reach out for detailed pricing information. Each wedding is a custom experience, and my pricing structure reflects that. Working with me includes unlimited consultation calls, a venue walkthrough, and an online digital gallery with all edited, high resolution images.
​
As a baseline, an eight hour day with two photographers and an engagement session starts at $5,500. I do offer a la carte options and film add ons.

I love your work, what's the next step?I would love to hear from you and get to know you! Send an inquiry form here and include details about your special day. From there, we'll schedule a phone call or in person meeting to discuss a package that works best for you. In order for me to authentically capture your day, it's important that we are on the same page about what you're looking for. I genuinely want to get to know you and would love to bring your vision to life.
-
How far in advance should I book you?Typically I book anywhere from 3 - 18 months before an event date. In general, I recommend reaching out sooner rather than later!
-
How many images will I receive?For a wedding day, I deliver around 75 photos per hour you have me booked. For couples and lifestyle sessions, I deliver around 50 per hour. I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity!
-
Do you travel?Yes!! I love traveling and I love taking photos in new places. If you're planning an out of state or destination wedding, I will be very hands on helping you find the best locations for artistic, unique images. Here are some places I travel to with NO travel fee: -Southern California -Washington DC / Virginia/ Maryland -Atlanta -Utah -Colorado Locations outside of this list may be subject to a travel fee to cover my flight and stay.
-
What do your film and digital packages look like?I love the fresh look of expensive film, so many of my packages include both film and digital. I will bring my medium format film camera so I can later match your digital images to look like film and then use my 35 mm film camera for in between moments.
-
What is your turnaround time?For weddings, I send a sneak peek within 1 week of the wedding and the final gallery 6-8 weeks after the wedding. An engagement or lifestyle session will be sent within 3 weeks of the shoot.
