MEET

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER

We are Wild Souls—a husband and wife team who believes your wedding day should be as fun as it is beautiful. We met in film school in 2013, and it wasn’t long before we realised our true calling: documenting the magic of weddings. Today, we bring that shared history and a deep passion for connection to every wedding we document.

We’re both obsessed with travel, spend as much time as possible at the beach chasing warm weather, and are head-over-heels for our little cavoodle. We’re essentially each other’s best friends, and we bring that same ease and connection to our work.

On your wedding day, Scott is usually the one behind the lens, keeping the vibe light with his constant jokes, while Hayley is likely capturing the action and finding any excuse to have a boogie on the dance floor with you!

Our passion

To be able to witness and capture the magic of love — telling stories that feel real and honest. We strive to create a journey for our couples that they will remember for a lifetime.
