“Because I am an artistic person, I knew I wanted to have artistic wedding photos and needed to find an amazing photographer. I used Instagram to do my search, but it was difficult to pinpoint exactly what I was looking for. Eventually, I settled on the word “juxtaposition” and realized I needed to find a photographer who could provide a collection of beautiful photos with lots of variety: the fun drama of editorial and the perfectly unposed/tender warmth of documentary style, shooting on digital as well as lots of film, black&white and color images, capturing the big moments and all the little moments in between, lots of detail shots, cool drone shots, getting the classic wedding photos but also photos that feel creative and thought-provoking. I wanted our wedding album to be oozing with the type of photographs that are cherished for generations, and ones that become “iconic” images showing who my husband and I are at this time in our lives. You’d think finding one photographer to accomplish all of that would be impossible. But thankfully, Instagram led me to Hanna.
We met with her over zoom and signed our contract the next day. Throughout every step working with Hanna, it was clear she has so much knowledge of photography and photographing specifically weddings through years of experience. She runs her business with so much professionalism and she goes above and beyond for her couples: She did a venue walk-through with me to see all my photo location ideas and give her recommendations so that way when the wedding day came we knew exactly what we were doing and where, she met with us over zoom and helped us put together a detailed photography timeline/plan for the wedding day, she had us create a list for family photos to not miss anything, she had us fill out an online questionnaire to understand exactly what we hope for/our priorities of what to be captured, and she welcomed me sharing my collection of inspo photos/Pinterest to get an even better feel for what I’m drawn to. Then for the wedding day she had an amazing team: her second shooter, Jake, and her assistant, Sarah. Both of them were wonderful as well! Hanna truly operates like a top-tier, luxury wedding photographer.
I had high expectations after seeing so many amazing images of Hanna’s other weddings on her Instagram, and yet she still knocked our socks off. I’m an actor, so I’m used to taking thousands of headshots with the hope to get 3 winner images, and achieving that is considered a successful headshot session. So for the wedding, I kind of had that perspective where if we only walked away with 25 amazing images, I’d be happy. But Hanna and her team are so, so good that I ended up with the glorious problem of being obsessed with everything because it is ALL amazing. I thought I’d be someone who only does one Instagram post of their wedding - nope, I had too much to share and it was too hard to pick favorites. Receiving the compliments from family and friends never gets old.
In conclusion, every couple deserves to have a photographer like Hanna capture their day, and we feel so lucky and grateful she captured ours. Just book her already!”
