Hayley K Photography
About
Overview & Vibe
Hayley K works out of Albury Wodonga and photographs weddings across the Riverina, North East Victoria and Wagga Wagga. Nine years in business, seven of them shooting weddings, with a degree in photography and graphic design behind it. She was placed Top 5 in Australia for wedding photography at the 2025 Wedding Industry Awards and second, highly commended, for Albury Wodonga, North East Victoria and the Riverina.
Style & Approach
Emotive and unposed. Her line is that she photographs your soul, not just your smile — the deep breath before the vows, the hand squeezes, the wild laughs. She chases golden hour but is happy to reach for flash or moody shadow when the day calls for it, and several of her published frames are built around a late sun over the ranges. She tells the story of how a day felt rather than how it looked.
Ideal For
Couples marrying on a property, in a country town or at a distillery anywhere between Albury, Wagga and the Victorian high country. Her published weddings run from St Edwards of the Riverina in Wagga Wagga to the Corowa Distilling Co to a hillside at Merrijig. Also a good fit if you want a photographer you can book far out — she takes bookings one to two years ahead.
The Need-to-Knows
Weddings start at $3,550 for six to eleven hours, and elopements average $1,400 for one to four. Coverage can be built anywhere from one hour to fourteen. Previews land within 72 hours and the full gallery takes up to eight weeks, usually around four. Travel costs may apply outside her usual run, and the number of images is the one thing she will not customise.
Standout Feature
The 72-hour preview. Most photographers quote weeks before a couple sees anything at all; here a first set arrives three days after the wedding, while everyone is still talking about it. She also assists with the run sheet before the day, which is planning help most couples end up paying somebody else for.
