Adam + Rebecca = Adecca Forever

On August 8th of this year, Adam Moore and Rebecca Pennington got hitched in an old (and I mean O L D ) country church outside of Austin, Texas. The wedding was more perfect than I could have ever imagined for them. Bac and I were both asked to be in their wedding party, and while we were honored and excited, we were a bit torn at not being able to shoot their entire wedding ourselves. SOOO.... here are my favorite images from the bits and pieces I was able capture throughout their beautiful weekend.

Enjoy. I did.













I can't believe they are finally married. And at the same time, of course I can. They've always been hilariously perfect for each other.

Bac and Adam and I were good friends during our time at Western Kentucky University two falls ago, and right about the time Bac and I started dating, Adam started talking about this girl Becca. So one night the four of us decided to hang out, play speed scrabble and super nintendo. When Becca showed up at my apartment with a couple of Super Nintendo games of her own AND a puppy for us to play with, I knew I wanted to be her friend. As it turns out, we are just about the same person.

Within six months Becca and I were roommates and so were Bac and Adam, and the four of us were inseparable. It was great to be able to watch their relationship begin and unfold throughout those months, and today I could not be happier that they are married.

PLUS- their fifties/ country church/ vintage/ southern wedding had distinct originality and style. Exhibit A- two of the flower girls carried a baby chick and a baby bunny instead of flowers. Unreal. Exhibit B- Reception activities included croquet and pin the tail on the donkey for any interested parties. Exhibit C- They let their entire wedding party pick whatever the heck clothes they wanted to wear as long as it was vintage. And it looked fabulous. I'm so glad I can say I know people as cool as they are!

Much love,

Matt + Ellen

Here are some of my favorites from Matt and Ellen's wedding. I wanted to post so many more!!












I have always wanted to shoot a wedding in Mississippi State University's (for those of you outside of the South) Chapel of Memories. So when Ellen asked me to shoot her and Matt's wedding, I was both honored and thrilled. It was a beautiful day, and the entire wedding party was a blast to be around.

I wish them both the best in their married life!

Much love,

Hailey

Ellen + Matt- and more to come!

What a busy month!!

So I took my almost two week sort of vacation to go and shoot one wedding, and shoot/be in another. It was a whirl wind of 12 days that took me from Seattle to Birmingham to Starkville back to Birmingham to Austin and then back home to Seattle again.

I have lots and lots of pictures to post from Matt and Ellen Collier's wedding, and from Adam and Rebecca Moore's wedding as well.

For now, here is a single I chose of Ellen overlooking the Chapel of Memories.

It was such an honor to play a role in both of these couple's wedding day.

More to come!
