Thank you for stopping by!

I’m Hayley, the photographer behind Route 26 Photography. I create relaxed, storytelling photography, capturing every moment as it naturally unfolds. I’m passionate about telling your story and creating images that are joyful, full of feeling, and truly reflect your day.

I love all things cosy, happy, and seasonal, from cups of tea and cosy nights to music of all genres and a good boogie. I’m often found oversnapping, making sure every little moment is captured. I take the time to get to know my couples and listen carefully to what’s important to you, making sure your wedding is special, personal, and exactly how you want it.

Working with me is easy-going and fun. I’m versatile in my approach, blending candid moments with gently guided shots, and I aim to make every wedding feel relaxed, warm, and full of joy. I love meeting new people, working in creative spaces, and finding inspiration in every season.

I live in Telford, Shropshire with my husband in our cosy home, and have a degree in photography and video.

Thanks so much for being here. I hope you enjoy looking through my work as much as I love capturing it.

Couples photoshoot - would highly recommend

We did a couples photoshoot with Hayley and she was fantastic. My partner is not one for posing for photos so Hayley came for a walk with us and our dogs to capture some really nice natural pictures of us. She was really patient and gave us some great poses to do and managed to capture some absolutely stunning pictures of us which is and our families adore. I would highly recommend Hayley for any photo shoot that you are planning as she listens to what you want and does an amazing job of capturing exactly what you want

A super star.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Hayley. From the very first booking enquiry, through our engagement photoshoot and right up to our wedding day, she was nothing but lovely, friendly, and an absolute joy to work with.

We got married during Covid with limited numbers, and Hayley fitted in so naturally it felt like she was part of the family. She instantly put everyone at ease and brought such a calm, positive presence to the day. Her talent truly shines through in the way she captured not only the big moments, but all the small, meaningful details that made our day so special.

Every single photo we received was amazing and they are all cherished dearly. Hayley was professional, incredibly responsive, and no request was ever too much trouble. She went above and beyond in every way.

Hayley holds a very special place in our wedding memories, and we are so grateful to have had her capture such an important time in our lives. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Quality!!!!

I had a family and bump photoshoot and I couldn't fault it, from arranging the date to the photoshoot it was seamless. Photoshoot was a great experience and a wonderful way to capture the first memories as a family. Hayley took quality and beautiful photos for us to cherish.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
