Our first Faces of Williamsburg Weddings blog series is coming to an end. I am so pleased to feature a photographer with "mad skills" and an incredible heart. Please enjoy her profile and photos!
All photos in this post are courtesy of Carol Hayes Photography.
Please introduce yourself.
I am Carol Hayes of Carol Hayes Photography. My husband and I have been shooting weddings together for over ten years. We owned a wedding photography business in North Carolina before moving back to Virginia (we both grew up here ) to be closer to our families. We love what we do and that passion shows in the images we create.
Though we always work together we each have our own distinct styles. Lee has a wonderfully innate talent for capturing phenomenal documentary images. He can capture the essence of people and the "presence in a room" better than anyone I know. I have a more "fine art" feel to my work which comes from formal training ( I have an MFA and have won many local and national awards for my fine art photography). Together we make a great team!
What makes your services unique?
1.Two formally trained photographers that simply love creating images.
2.Our unique blend of styles, giving each couple images that are unique to them and their wedding.
3. Exceptionally high level of service before, during and after your wedding day. We complete our images and albums in a timely manner! Check out the rave reviews on our website www.carolhayesphotography.com.
What is your favorite aspect of Williamsburg weddings?
I think one of my favorite things about Williamsburg weddings is actually something we overhear from guests at each event. Guests rave about unique venues. From the intimate Williamsburg Manor and the option packed William and Mary Alumni House to the old world charm of the Williamsburg Winery. Guests also love that before and after the wedding there is a lot to see and do in Williamsburg. From Busch Gardens to Colonial Williamsburg, guests have fun at the event as well as all weekend. Williamsburg also has wonderful southern charm mixed with rich culture and deep roots in history. Williamsburg has it all and guests just love it!
If you could bring one celebrity wedding to Williamsburg, and you could photograph it, whose wedding would it be and why?
Hmm ...Pitt and Jolie or maybe Prince Harry & ........ he seems like a lot of fun.

I happened across this blog and am just so excited that you are featuring Carol Hayes Photography! Carol shot our wedding 10 years ago and we have the most amazing memories captured because of her. I am so glad that she is still taking pictures. 10 years later, I can honestly say, that it was the best choice we made in planning our wedding.

Catherine - thank you so much for sharing your experience with Carol! I have only recently had the first opportunity to work with her, and I know I already love her. I am certain she will be honored that you took the time to comment! All the best.

Good thing you wore a white wedding gown in your "bull photo". It sees you as an angel. :-)
