Meet Your Photographer

Hi, I'm Haylee.

My name is Haylee Johnson. I'm a lifestyle and wedding photographer based in Tryon, NC — right outside of Asheville. I'm a total people person, a warm-hearted family girl, and my southern roots run deep. I love to make people feel comfortable and beautiful in front of my lens, so I can capture the authentic moments and the genuine laughs.

When I'm not taking photos, you'll find me with my little family of four and our three pups. I believe in creating a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and celebrated — and the photos I treasure most reflect real love and real joy.

Kind Words

Loved by couples & families.

We couldn't be more satisfied with Haylee Johnson photography! We contacted Haylee on very short notice to shoot our courthouse elopement. She was incredibly responsive and professional, and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. On the day of our elopement, the magistrate wasn't at the courthouse, and we quickly had to pivot to eloping at the Buncombe County detention center (where there was a magistrate that day). Haylee took what could have been an incredibly stressful pivot in stride, rolled with all the last minute changes, and was our personal cheerleader throughout the entire process (and stayed way longer than initially planned as we waited for the magistrate to be free). She was so pleasant to be around, and really made us feel like it was more than just a gig for her and that she cared. And the icing on the cake is that her shots came out beautiful! We love the photos and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of quality photography at a fair price. Thank you, Haylee!

Courthouse Elopement

Haylee is a joy to work with! She did a phenomenal job taking our family's pictures. Her editing style is warm and classic, and her pictures are a treasure that will be enjoyed for generations. Our family highly recommends Haylee and we look forward to the photographs that she'll take in the years to come.

Haylee is a wonderful photographer, and also a kind and fun person to spend time with while she is taking the best pictures! It is easy to recognize how much she enjoys the art of photography when you see her work and feel the magic of the memories she will capture for you and your family. We love Haylee and highly recommend her! She is great and I know you will love her photos as much as we do!

Our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking. Every emotion, detail, and special moment was captured perfectly. Not only is Haylee is incredibly talented, but also kind, patient, and a joy to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly and that nothing was missed. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives and recommend Haylee a thousand times over. Bridals and engagement photos also exceeded all expectations!

I got in touch with Haylee who perfectly captured my proposal to my fiancée. Her photography style and editing is perfect and timeless. She's also reasonably priced! She's based in Tryon, but came out to Lake Lure for our photo session. I'd recommend her to anyone in the area.

We asked Haylee to do our wedding photos and they came out fantastic! She was a joy to be around, kind, and it was clear that she knew what she was doing. She helped us with poses as well which is great because I have no idea how to pose in front of a camera 😅 She went above & beyond in a lot of ways. Would highly recommend her! The price was very affordable as well. Thank you Haylee!

Haylee is a beautiful photographer who was so easy to work with. My son, who is relatively shy, felt comfortable and at ease during the shoot-and we even got some great smiles from him. She had a quick turnaround time and was full of great ideas about locations and making these pics super special. Thank you Haylee. We will definitely be return customers!
