We love to bring a calming, knowledgeable and polished feel to each wedding, making certain our couples are able to fully enjoy their day. Our strengths are curating magazine-worthy photographs that will stand the test of time, an attention to detail, and capturing emotive images of you and the people you love most.
These photos mark both the start of your marriage, and the beginning of your own family; we wholeheartedly want to deliver photographs you’ll be able to cherish for a lifetime and can already envision how they’ll become heirlooms, passed from your hands to those of future generations.
Colorful, Clean
We delight in offering three wedding photography packages for you to choose from; each includes wedding coverage by myself (Haley) and my husband (Dylan); a complimentary engagement (or bridal) shoot; your completed photos delivered via an online gallery; and travel up to 100 miles.
I would love to hear all about your love story and the wedding day before we jump into investment details; simply use the Contact form located above, or feel free to message me directly - haley@photosbyheart.com. I can't wait to talk with you!
We offer the following portrait sessions : Boudoir, Engagement, Bridal, Anniversary, & Senior. Additionally, we accept a limited number of family sessions annually, but don't currently accept newborn work.
We also are excited to offer studio sessions at our loft, located in the heart of downtown Birmingham; let me know if you'd like more details.
I, (Haley), received my degree from UA in 2010 and have been photographing for years; Photos By Heart has been documenting weddings since 2012.
Birmingham, AL. The Magic City is where Dylan and I met, fell in love, and welcomed our little one into the world ... it's a joy to call this place our home.
Absolutely, yes. We've photographed weddings all the way from every corner of our beautiful home state to Charleston, Kentucky, Colorado and several locations in between. That said, of the 15 weddings we accept annually, no more than 50% of those are available for destination.
Our go-to for digital work is a Canon 5d mark III, with a variety of prime lenses. We also love the opportunity to integrate film, using a Contax645 and our favorite film stock is Fuji400H.
Who remembers putting a roll of film into a camera (instead of the modern memory cards), sending it to a lab for developing, negatives, and actual printed photographs you held in your hands? That is what I mean by film - not like a movie, but tangible rolls of film. We love offering this service to our couples for many reasons, but largely due to the inherent nature of film, which calls for a slower pace; this allows for us to be fully present and intentional with our moments and imagery. There is something magical about a film photograph - the way it renders light and color is more indicative of a memory or feeling, and we adore this medium for capturing the emotion of a wedding day.
As mentioned above, we offer a few primary wedding collections with coverage by Haley and Dylan, complimentary engagement session, and your completed photos delivered via online gallery. Investment for wedding photography currently begins at $5000.
We also offer tailored packages for initimate and destination weddings, as well as upgrades such as heirloom photo books and print products.
Your wedding day and photographs are important to you, as well as us. It's equally important to us that you have an easy and wonderful experience in addition to beautiful images; all of this starts with hearing about you, your love story, and the special day you're planning. Please visit the Contact section of our site to get in touch and we will happily send all the details.
Authenticity is something we strive for - in our images, in our relationships, and in our interactions. That said, we want to get to know you and make certain that we are the right fit to preserve your once in a lifetime moments. Let's grab a cup of coffee, our treat.
Once we've had the chance to chat and you feel that we're the perfect photographers for your wedding, we require a signed agreement and payment of the deposit (35%) to reserve your date. (Remaining balances to be paid two weeks prior to the event.)
We accept no more than 15 full-scale weddings per year to ensure that every couple receives the adequate time and care they deserve. With availability being limited, I encourage you to secure your date as soon as possible.
This can depend on a number of factors such as : the length of time we are at the event, and the size/attendance of the wedding. Additionally, we don't limit the number of deliverable images - we aim to give you the best, high quality images that tell the full story of your day - however many that may be.
To elaborate more on a number you could expect, we typically deliver an average of 50-60 images per hour of active shooting.
There is a framed print that sits on my desk and reads good things take time; I promise I'm just as excited about your photographs as you are. Each photo from your wedding day will be combed through - every last image that meets my standards will be edited for coloring and exposure ... and once I'm confident that your collection is perfect, I'll be in touch the very moment they're ready to view. (And will then wait anxiously to hear your reaction!)
Weddings are delivered within three to six weeks; portrait sessions within one to four weeks.
