1. Introduction: What's your story?

My name is Hayle and I am the photographer that you will get to know when we first meet during your consultation. I am the girl that will do silly things to make you and your fiance laugh during your engagement session. I am the one that might tear up a bit during your bridal session because you look so beautiful. And I am the one that will capture your wedding day from beginning to end with one goal in mind: to photograph the moments that your special day has to offer so that when you look back on them, you can experience the same joy you had on one of the best days of your life.

I married my best friend, John, back in December of 2016, so I understand the fun of wedding planning and also the long hours of researching it takes to make your big day the best day. In being your wedding photographer, my hope is to make that last part much easier for you, your fiancé, and the family and friends that are helping along the way! I truly believe getting to know each other is essential before your wedding day for the purpose of creating true authentic memories that will just come naturally!

We will be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day, so let’s have fun! You’ll come to learn pretty quickly that I’m very outgoing and enjoy being around people! I’m very active in serving and being in community at Watermark Community Church in Dallas. The Lord has definitely blessed me in more ways than I could have ever imagined. There are so many times during the day that I thank Him for allowing this to be my job because I get to do what I love in capturing the amazing moments and build sweet relationships in the meantime.

2. How long have you been shooting weddings? How many weddings have you photographed?

It all started in 2015, when I was asked to join the team under Peyronet Photography as the primary photographer for her associate brand, The Purple Pebble Photography. Since then I have photographed over 150 weddings!! It has been, by far, the most incredible opportunity to serve and get to know so many amazing couples and vendors!

3. How would you describe your photography style?

The Purple Pebble Photography specializes in beautiful, elegant, and timeless wedding photography for you and your fiancé. We know that your story is unique and we strive to offer our services in unique ways to each of our couples. Our hope is that we can be adaptable to what the moment holds. If we need to be more hands on and help give direction, we strive to do so in a way that looks more natural instead of styled. During parts of the day like your ceremony and reception, we are like flies on the walls, capturing the fun and candid moments that come. Overall we aim to tell your wedding story from beginning to end, rich with emotion, and sprinkled with intentional details all throughout!

4. How well in advance should couples book their wedding photographer?

I recommend booking your wedding photographer as soon as possible! Once you've nailed down details like your wedding date and venue, it's wise to go ahead and get started on researching and hiring your photographer.

Most of our clients book within a year of their wedding date. Couples that desire peak months (in Texas: April-June, September-November) typically book within 18 months of their big day.

We understand though that every couples' story and plans are unique, so we strive to be flexible and meet their needs as best as possible. If you have a shorter engagement, no worries- feel free to reach out anyway and we'd be happy to share our availability with you!

5. What are the different packages that you offer and which one is your most popular package?

We know your wedding is unique and your wedding photography should be too! We customize our wedding packages so you are able to create the perfect package for your day. We are flexible because we want you to have exactly what you want when it comes to your photography. We start off with the Wedding Essentials Package and then from there, you are able to build your custom package with our a la carte items. Those items include things such as bridal sessions, extra hours of wedding day coverage, albums, prints and more. We make it our personal goal to serve you and to give you the best experience during this special season of your life!

The Wedding Essentials Package - $2,900:
-an engagement session
-up to 8 hours of wedding day coverage
-a second photographer for your wedding day
-an online slideshow & gallery
-USB of your high resolution images

6. Are you the wedding photographer who will be shooting on the wedding day? Who else is there in your team?

After years of being a single primary photographer studio, Michelle Peyronet changed her mind… It was always just her and a second photographer shooting weddings. She had entertained the idea of training associate photographers in the past, but it was never the right time or the right fit. Thankfully after much consideration and time to think through this possible addition, The Purple Pebble Photography came to life!

I joined Michelle's team in the fall of 2015. Our team consists of:
-Michelle, as the owner of The Purple Pebble
-ME: Hayle, as your primary photographer for The Purple Pebble
-Our second shooter team of ladies that we have trained and trust to be our second pair of eyes in capturing your special day.

7. Do you charge a travel fee? For what distance? What does that cover?

We charge traveling fees for over 2 hours away from the DFW area. Each circumstance, however is unique, and will be a custom quote.

Travel Expenses vary on location:
Drivable Distance:
-Gas

Out of state:
-Hotel
-Flight
-Rental Car (if necessary)

Perk: Our out of state weddings get an additional two hours of coverage on their wedding day, rehearsal dinner coverage, and a newlywed session after the wedding (if time allows).

8. Are albums or prints included in your packages?

They are not included into The Wedding Essentials Package but are available as a la carte items. Add in additional portrait sessions, a contemporary wedding album, guestbook, canvases and prints to create your perfect package!

9. How long after the wedding will the couple receive the images? How will they be delivered?

We edit and color correct in studio, so for portrait sessions like engagements and bridals, we'll have those images up for you to see on your online gallery within 2 weeks. For your wedding images, we'll have those up for you to look through with your new spouse on your one month anniversary!! We hope it can be a sweet way for you guys to celebrate!

All of your high resolution images (wedding day and all portrait sessions including: engagement, bridal, and newlywed) will be delivered on a USB with your featured album or mailed to you on your three month anniversary, whichever comes first.
