Welcome! I'm William Hayes, a professional wedding photographer in the Toledo, Ohio area. I specialize in capturing a mix of relaxed portraits and great moments, all while keeping your wedding day fun and relaxed. Smiles, tears, joy, love . . . these are the wonderful emotions that weddings are all about, and why I LOVE wedding photography.
Both my personal and professional life are chronicled in this blog, and it features images from the weddings I photograph and the family and friends that are so important to me. My blog ends up being my personal photo album as well as a source of information for current and potential clients. Hopefully my blog will give you an idea of who I am and what my photography is all about. Thanks for stopping by!
Jamie & Jeremiah were married August 16th at Grace United Methodist Church in Perrysburg, Ohio. It was a beautiful day - sunny but not too warm. After the ceremony, we went to the Toledo Botanical Gardens for photographs then on to the reception at the Pinnacle in Maumee. Here are a few pictures from the Toledo Botanical Gardens:
I was taking some photographs of my family’s newest addition, my daughter Laura when my son Chris decided he wanted to have his picture taken too. Here is what we ened up with…I think it’s great!

Melanie & Jordan had a beautiful wedding at First Congregational Church on Collingwood in Toledo. Jordan’s parents held the reception in the back yard of their beautiful home off Corey Rd. in West Toledo. While it rained a bit during the ceremony, it cleared shortly after allowing us to go to Wildwood Metropark for pictures. Here are a couple of my favorite images:
