Carol E Hayes Photography

We are a husband and wife photography team with over nine years of experience shooting weddings together. We are primarily photojournalists but we also shoot all the timeless traditional images that you won't regret having.

Our goal is to remain relatively unobtrusive throughout the day while still providing you with incredible images that you will be thrilled to call your own. We believe in reasonable all inclusive pricing so each bride and groom have album and enlargements of their choice to cherish. We never book more than one wedding in a weekend so that all of our preparation and focus is on you and your wedding day. We will stay in constant communication with you before during and after the big day so that we understand and document all the special details of your day.

We love what we do and it shows in our photographs! We feel privileged to document the moments in your life that make lasting memories.
