Reviews of Hayley Zumkeller Photography (Event Planner)

Elementary With Empathy

Hayley was an awesome photographer. She has great energy and could make any feel good in front of a camera. Hayley is professional, very reasonably priced, and responds to inquiries very quickly. As far as the photos themselves Hayley is certainly talented as I am extremely happy with the quality and look of every single photo she took. Thank you Hayley! It was such a fun time working with you.

Hayley did the grad pictures for my boyfriends family and they were gorgeous. I couldn’t pick out anything in those pictures I didn’t like. She is fun, but still professional. The pictures were great quality and my favourite part was how they were delivered ! It gave ease of access for the whole family to have some of her gorgeous shots :) 10/10 would recommend and will be using her again.

Cathryn Chase

I couldn’t be happier with the high quality, professional headshots Hayley photographed for me. They will be great for LinkedIn! When I was unsure about what background I wanted, Hayley was very helpful with recommending different options and I really loved the final choice. She is professional, talented and friendly, and I highly recommend her as a photographer. Thanks Hayley!

Hayley did an amazing job on a photo shoot for me and my Tiny House business. As a result of her beautiful photos used in the marketing program the house sold shortly after.

Caitlyn Santos

Hayley is a fantastic photographer and will literally stop at nothing to make sure you get the perfect picture! Could not recommend enough!

Gina Wicentowich

Hayley is not only a talented photographer but a heartwarming, happy soul. She knows how to showcase your personality on camera in the most flattering way possible. Brings your personality to life on camera. She also has an innate ability to capture candid poses in an authentic way - but also knows your best angle for a posed photo worthy of a Vogue cover. Highly, highly recommend ❤️

Hello Kimberly

Some people know how to take nice photos, and others know how to BE a photographer. Every time I have worked with Hayley she always makes me feel so comfortable. Her passion for creating shines through and every time she snaps a pic you can physically see her excitement. I always get nervous behind the camera, but after 5 minutes with hayley that goes away. Highly highly recommend !

Rhaya Lynn

This was my first time doing a photoshoot with Hayley, and she made me feel so incredibly comfortable! You would absolutely not be able to tell that I was a little nervous for the shoot! I love how she made the mood very relaxed, fun, and light hearted. She knew exactly how to get the best shots and she provided the perfect balance of direction and freedom. The photos came out better than I imagined. The colours, the quality, the diversity in the images. All spectacular. If you’ve ever felt a little too shy to have photos taken of yourself, Hayley is absolutely your go-to to conquer that fear. I have no doubt that she is an expert in the field and will continue to produce incredible images for every client she has. You will be in wonderful hands!

Hayley shot our wedding in Telegraph Cove in 2018. She captured our day amazingly. Highly recommended!!

Davis Rennie

Hayley is a legend, My new wife and I had a bit of a long engagement due to covid and even though we had booked Hayley for a wedding that was postponed by the virus, she was patient and communicative throughout the delay. We had a few conversations with her about the style of photos we wanted to show our special day but it didn’t take long for her to figure out exactly what we were looking for. Hayley’s patience with the groomsmen on the big day was spectacular and even though we had a crew of pirate looking scruff bugs her talent behind the camera made the boys shine. She is a consummate professional but she still manages to be easygoing, flexible, and understanding. At one point, we turned around to see Hayley waist deep in a school of pink salmon in the river to get the perfect angle. My wife and I are beyond happy with how our photos turned out and we cannot imagine having chosen a better human to help us save memories that would have otherwise been missed. The candid photos that Hayley captured instinctively are a testament to her passion and skill for her trade. Whatever your preference or occasion you cannot go wrong choosing this young woman to capture special moments with her talent behind a camera. With much love and many thanks, Davis and Carrie Rennie

I found Hayley's page while searching for a photographer on the island while on a family visit. I absolutely loved her style and after sending her a quick note about availability she was SUPER responsive and communicative. She has an eye for beautiful locations and picked the perfect spot for the photos I was hoping for. She was professional and engaging during the session and helped everyone feel comfortable, and of course captured some amazing moments! I will 100% book with her for photos while we are back on the island in the future!

Hayley did the photos at our wedding in June 2021. From the moment she got there she was so helpful, attentive, and comfortable to be around. It felt like we had known eachother for ages. She is very professional and accommodating. Her style is so natural and beautiful. We have absolutely no regrets and would love to have her around for more big life events. We loved how responsive she was. Haley was always keeping us updated and on the same page. You can tell she genuinely loves her job as a photographer.

Sydney Conway

From the start of our session with Hayley to the moment we were printing and hanging the photos you couldn’t wipe the smile off of our faces! Hayley is professional, friendly, and has a way of making you feel comfortable throughout. On top of that, not only were the photos beautiful but they also truly captured our emotions at the time. Thank you Hayley for giving us photos that mean so much.

Courtney Panas

We arrived on location and Hayley was there already and cheerful and bubbly. She was very talkative and asked a lot of questions to really get to know my daughter while she took the photos. I was super impressed on how Hayley decided to donate her time to graduates in the CR area for prom photos. They turned out absolutely stunning and an extremely quick turn around. I would highly recommend Hayley as a photographer. She was very personable, reliable and took stunning high quality photos. Thank you Hayley.

Megan Minato

So glad Hayley was available to shoot our wedding in September! She was very responsive and easy to work with. Our wedding was shorter than most but Hayley was able to capture so many special moments throughout the day. Loved both the more posed shots and the candids she took. She definitely made us feel comfortable and relaxed when posing us before the ceremony which really set the tone for the rest of the day. Thank you, Hayley!

Taylor Holloway

Hayley photographed our wedding coming up on two years ago. Her personality and professionalism are incredible, she is sweet and so talented! We received so many stunning photos that we will cherish forever! She captured our special day in a way that was even more beautiful than we were expecting. I would recommend Hayley for any type of photos you need or want ❤️

Sophia Katherina

Hayley is an amazing photographer and provided me with gorgeous headshots. I would highly recommend her and I am looking forward to booking her in the future. She was easy to work with, very friendly, and also super responsive leading up to our shoot. She also got the photos back and edited to me so quickly! This was a pleasant surprise and really showed her professionalism and commitment to her clients.

Michelle Drake

Hayley is a gem! We chose Hayley as our wedding videographer and were blown away by the video she created! We have since done maternity and family photos with her and she always goes above and beyond. Her work adorns many walls and spaces of our home. We are so grateful for her talent and also how personable she is during every single session.

Kari Hawryluk

We have had Hayley photograph our wee family 2x now, she is lovely to work with, clear & responsive. Always professional without being stuffy - Thanks Hayley! See you again :) - Kari, Bailey & Birdie

We had family photos done and they were great, so I gifted my niece a photo shoot for Grad. It made a special day to celebrate! Thanks Hayley!

Hayley helped me surprise my partner with an amazing couple photoshoot on the beach. Halfway through our walk she was able to meet us and capture some magical moments. I would highly recommend Hayley for anyone searching for a professional, fun, and high quality photographer!

Brooklyn Reesor

I would highly recommend Hayley to anyone needing photography or videography. Hayley took photos of my family recently and they were amazing. The quality of her work is incredible and she can create beauty out of any weather.

Angela Taylor

Hayley came highly recommended by my sister and after our first meeting with her, I knew immediately that she was the perfect choice as our wedding photographer. Hayley’s bright personality, intuitiveness, open and easy style of communication made her an absolute pleasure to deal with. We felt confident that she would capture ‘Our Day’ beautifully. And that she did! Hayley’s amazingly talented eye captured the emotions of our Love Story, in every breathtaking image. The genuine spontaneity of each moment, so beautifully expressed. We will be forever grateful for her thoughtfulness in capturing the speeches on video. An unexpected gift that will be treasured by us and our families, always. How special it is to be brought back to that day and experience all the feelings of those wonderful moments. Hayley, Thank you so much xo. We definitely look forward to working with you again! Angela and Rick Taylor

Coral Hagel

Thank you Hayley for the beautiful photos. You captured some great moments and made Kyra's Grad 2020 special during this time when our Grad expectations have been so altered. It made the moment significant and important for all of us. We appreciate it so much.

Justine Attfield

Absolutely love Hayley and her work, and would recommend her to anyone! We have worked with her in the past, and knew we had to have her for our wedding! We ended up having changes to our wedding plans, including our date, and Hayley was so easy to work with and made it so easy! Hayley is an amazing person and photographer, we have the most beautiful photos and wedding video to share with family and friends, and to look back on forever.

Nathan Warawa

Hayley did my wife and I's wedding photography and videography. We are blown away with not only the end result but also how perfect the wedding day went. Her energy was infectus. She guided us through photos after the ceremony and everything felt natural and fun. We didn't want the photos to end. You didn't know she was there unless she wanted you to know and she was always thinking ahead. We're not kidding when we say she captured every moment both on photo and in video. We have so many beautiful candid pictures and video clips with everyone at our wedding. Our wedding video has brought us to tears everytime we watch it. There is no words to describe how amazing it is to relive the day over and over again. It's incredible how she managed to get such high quality footage while also doing pictures. We're extremely happy with the slide show she gave us as well, everything we received from Hayley couldn't have been any higher in quality. The photos and videos are so vibrant and crisp. We feel spoiled with how well she treated us. Our walls are already filled with wedding pictures and every single photo has been printed and added to a photo album. Choosing Hayley to capture your wedding is the easiest choice you'll make while planning your wedding. Thank you again Hayley!

Keaton Bertles

Hayley did an incredible job of making the photo shoot an extremely fun activity. She found ways to make us laugh and capture those moments in a stunning picture. She came prepared with multiple ideas and suggestions on poses/locations. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Miss Owen

Hayley was the photographer at our wedding in 2016. We also just had her do our annual friends photos. Her photos are timeless and perfect! I love our photos from four years ago and from this month. She always has a smile on her face and makes it easy to relax in front of the camera. I would recommend Hayley to anyone out there, and I will be using her again in the future.

Kassaundra Shaver

Simply put, Hayley is amazing. I got my gallery back from the family photos that Hayley took of myself, my husband and our son and they genuinely took my breath away (and I may have shed some, okay a lot of tears). Hayley is so professional all while making sure that you feel comfortable having your photos taken, she guided us where we needed it (so appreciative of this) but still made sure that the authenticity and love of our family was the highlight of every photo. I will cherish these photos for the rest of my days and I sincerely look forward to having Hayley take more photos of my family for years to come. Thank you Hayley.

Lindsey Hoedel

Hayley can take your family and get them smiling and laughing in no time - and most importantly - capture it! She made the process quick and easy and had photos back to us at lightning speed.

Ian Silva

I got Hayley to take photos of my family for a Christmas gift. I am so happy that I did. Taking photos of people isn't easy, and she has a gift for making her clients feel at ease while capturing them at their best. When I have to do photos for any reason, I just hope it's relatively painless. Hayley made it an enjoyable experience. I recommend her services to anyone.

Hayley Boyd

My siblings and I decided to give the gift of photos for my parents this past Christmas, and I am so happy we chose Hayley to do them. Hayley drove an hour and a half out of her way to find a great meeting spot for all of us because we lived in different cities. She scouted a few different places and gave us some beautiful options to choose from, you can really tell that she puts a lot of time into finding a spot that everyone will love. The most impressive part about the whole experience though, is how comfortable she made us all feel in front of the camera. We were all fairly nervous prior to showing up, but we ended up laughing and having a great time, which led to beautifully done photos thanks to Hayley. I highly recommend Hayley for any photography needs. Her professionalism, ease in front of the camera, and overall work in both capturing wonderful shots as well as creating beautiful edits made for a wonderful experience and I will definitely come back to Hayley.

Pamela Manhas

We used Hayley for our maternity photo shoot and she made it very easy to feel comfortable taking photos at a beach with a lot of people. Hayley was also engaged and personable, which made it a lot more fun and relaxing. She took the time to get to know us and find perfect spots for the pictures. The photos in the end, were not only done and edited quickly, but turned out beautifully! I highly recommend Hayley, and cannot wait for her to do our newborn session.

Hayley was great to work with. Would highly recommend.

Karina McLaughlin

We won a photoshoot with Hayley and it was an extremely positive and fun experience. My husband hates getting his photo taken and he enjoyed Hayley's fun and easy going, down to earth vibe. Our photos were fun and natural. Nothing was overly posed. She captured so many great photos of our daughter it was hard to limit how many to frame. Another thing I truly love about Hayley is she gave us many photos to choose from. Highly recommend!!

Jenny Dufault

I won a photo shoot with her in one of her Instagram giveaways and had a fantastic experience! Great communication, really fun & easy to work with. Our photos turned out amazing! Will definitely hire her for any future family photo shoots.
