Based in Caterham, Hayley Maurice is a specialist wedding photographer who blends portrait sensitivity with an architect’s eye to create natural, professional wedding and engagement photos across the UK.
I’m Hayley Maurice, the photographer behind HM Photography, based in Caterham and travelling throughout the UK to photograph weddings and engagement sessions. As a specialist wedding photographer I focus on capturing the spirit of your day — the quiet, candid moments as well as the considered bridal and family portraits — delivering professional wedding photos that tell the story of your celebration. My background in portrait and architectural photography shapes everything I bring to a wedding. The portrait work gives me a calm, empathetic approach when photographing people: how to relax subjects, find flattering light and create timeless images. My architectural experience sharpens my eye for composition, lines and light, so I notice details and craft images that have both emotional depth and clean visual structure. The result is wedding photography that feels both natural and carefully composed. I work unobtrusively and collaboratively. Before your wedding I like to talk through your plans and priorities — whether you want a few formal portraits, a relaxed documentary record, or a mix of both. Engagement shoots are available for couples who want to get comfortable in front of the camera ahead of the big day. On the wedding day I aim to be present but not intrusive: guiding where needed, stepping back to capture genuine moments, and adapting to changing light and locations to make every shot count. My approach is warm, flexible and professional. I value clear communication, punctuality and delivering a gallery of images you’ll want to share and keep. Based in Caterham, I’m happy to travel across Surrey and beyond — planning site visits where helpful, and offering straightforward quotes and friendly advice. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who combines portrait sensitivity with a careful eye for detail, HM Photography can help preserve the memories and atmosphere of your day with elegant, honest images.
