You're worried about looking stiff and uncomfortable in every photo.
You're scared of feeling rushed and missing what matters.
You don't want to open your gallery and feel let down.
Most of all, you don't want to look back in 20 years and not feel anything.
I'm Hayley, and I've spent a decade making sure couples never have to feel any of that.
I PLAN YOUR TIMELINE WITH YOU
Every couple gets a custom timeline. A rushed wedding is a stressful wedding. We protect the time that matters, adding buffer room, and making sure you actually get to enjoy the day you spent so long planning.
this is what i do differently
GUIDED & CANDID, NOT OVERLY POSED
My whole approach is built around making you feel so comfortable and natural that the real moments happen on their own. No rigid posing. I provide plenty of guidance to ensure you both feel like you.

I SEE MOMENTS BEFORE THEY HAPPEN
Your dad holding it together when he sees you. The laugh that surprised you both. The split-second look you share during sweet speeches. I capture the moments you didn't see, that you'll want to relive.
MEET HAYLEY ZUMKELLER
DOCUMENTARY-STYLE PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
Hey, I'm Hayley, and I know exactly how much pressure you're putting on this day to be perfect. And how scary it is to hand that over to someone with a camera.
I'm a Vancouver Island Wedding Photographer and Filmmaker with over a decade of experience capturing weddings in Victoria BC, Campbell River, and destinations worldwide. I've spent that time figuring out one thing: how to make you feel so completely at ease that the real moments just happen on their own.
From the moment you inquire to the day your gallery lands in your inbox, you are my priority. Not just the photos. The whole experience.

why choose hayley
If unexpected weather or an unforeseen emergency prevents us from getting your outdoor portraits, I'll book a complimentary 60-minute re-shoot. No questions asked. Rain or shine, you walk away with the wedding photos you envisioned.
Because on a day this important, your peace of mind matters as much as your photos.

I FELT SO COMFORTABLE WITH HAYLEY. SHE WAS SO ENTHUSIASTIC AND MADE THE PROCESS SO MUCH FUN. EVERY PHOTO IN OUR SNEAK PEEKS (WHICH WE GOT IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS) WAS STUNNING.

I knew I wanted Hayley to shoot my wedding before I was even engaged...Her photos are timeless and look beautiful printed and hung up, which was a big part of what drew me to her style.

ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Yes! I'm based in Victoria, BC but available worldwide. Whether you're planning a destination elopement or a wedding a few hours from home, I'd love to be there. Travel fees apply for weddings outside Victoria, just ask and I'll give you a clear breakdown.
I have 3 base packages for both Wedding Photos and Wedding Films. Every package can be built off of to ensure you get the coverage you actually need. Once you inquire, I send the base packages! All packages include timeline creation and support, a pre-wedding planning session, wedding slideshows, 2nd shooters, sneak peeks within 48 hours, moodboard creation, personalized gifts, and much more.
We captured both! Our clients hire us for both photo and video, or they hire us for just photo, or just video. When you hire us to capture both, we typically operate as a team of 4 people. The team size depends on the size and length of the wedding day. This way, we can ensure not a single moment is missed. This way, you don't have to coordinate with vendors, and there's no miscommunication on the day. Just one team that knows your whole vision.
That's exactly what my Life Happens Guarantee is for. If unexpected weather prevents us from getting any outdoor portraits, I'll book a complimentary 60-minute reshoot. This way, you can get dressed up again and enjoy a stress-free session! Your peace of mind matters as much as your photos.
My clients value speed of delivery because they want to share with friends and family right away, while the day is still fresh. As a wedding couple, you will receive your sneak peek gallery within 48 hours. Your full gallery is delivered within 4 weeks (6 weeks if your package includes a video). No waiting 3-6 months to hear if your photos are ready. My clients also receive a personalized gift in the mail, where you will get a link to your online digital gallery.
Something to remember is that the best wedding photos truly are candid, which means you aren't even thinking about the camera, but simply celebrating with the people you love.
