About Rue Bonaparte

Artful destination wedding photography for timeless love stories.

One wedding led to another, and photography became a creative outlet that soon ignited my passion. As I learned to find where the magic of candid moments met the principles of the fine artwork I had studied, my hobby grew into my true métier.

Today, that passion has fueled nearly a decade of experience in fine art photography. Rue Bonaparte Photography was officially established in 2016, and since then my team and I have had the privilege of chronicling over 100 events around the world, with features in publications such as BRIDES, Style Me Pretty, and TheWed. 

I’m Haleigh Moore, the founder of Rue Bonaparte Photography. My driving force lies in documenting the authentic moments of emotion, the subtlest of details, and the narratives that define each wedding day. Together with my team, we are dedicated to transforming your most cherished moments into tangible memories, creating artful images as timeless as your love story

My path to photography began while studying Fine Art History at the Savannah College of Art and Design, immersing myself in both the work of the great masters and the beautiful historic center of Savannah, Georgia.

That’s when I photographed my first wedding - with a borrowed camera that I had to return by 6 o'clock the next morning!
