HI, I’M BAILEY
Just a detail-obsessed creative with a passport full of love stories.
Born and raised in the moody Pacific Northwest, I married my husband Michael and quickly traded gray skies for globe-trotting adventures. Along the way, I fell in love — not just with the world, but with the way a single photo can hold a whole feeling.
Since then, I’ve documented love stories across oceans and time zones, from foggy Seattle forests to sun-drenched deserts. Arizona officially stole my heart in 2016, and now I split my time between the misty romance of the PNW and the golden glow of Scottsdale — or anywhere else a love story takes me.
It's about more than checking a box or snapping staged poses. It’s about capturing true connection, joy and energy in a way that’s effortlessly you.
Because let’s be real — beautiful photos are just part of the story.
What really sets my work apart is the experience. I guide, hype, and hold space for you — from champagne-popping excitement to quiet just-married moments you didn’t even know I caught. I’m there to make you feel like the most radiant, relaxed, wildly in-love version of yourself.
Because your wedding day isn’t just an event — it’s a whole era. And your photos? They’re the legacy.

Bailey Batishev
It's about more than just pretty pictures. Let's create legacy level love stories in light.
I don’t just take photos — I craft artful, trend-forward images that capture the essence of your love with elegance and intention. My signature style blends romantic storytelling with luminous edits and editorial flair, creating a visual narrative that feels both timeless and distinctly you. My couples trust me to document their day with heart, style, and an eye for the moments that matter — the kind of images that say, 'we were on top of the world', and make you feel it again, every time you
look at them.
my style
Weddings are my love language --
The joy, the chaos, the in-between moments that no one else sees. I’m endlessly inspired by the details that make each day yours — the dress you said yes to, the way your (now spouse!) looks at you during the vows, the champagne-fueled dance floor at golden hour. Every wedding is a story, and I’m here for all the chapters.
What I'm
loving
Little luxuries — hand-tied florals, timeless tablescapes, and those chic, thoughtful details that make a wedding feel elevated. Romantic, fun, and elegant — that’s the vibe I live to capture.
What I'm
learning
How to slow down and really be present — even during the busiest wedding days.
That a perfectly timed pause can capture more magic than a thousand poses.
What I'm
not about
Stiff poses, fake laughs, or forced traditions just for the ‘gram.
Weddings that feel like performances instead of experiences.
what I
believe
That your wedding day should feel like you — joyful, intentional, and unapologetically full of love. Golden hour magic, heirloom details, and laughter that turns into happy tears.
