Hanes Photography

Welcome to Hanes Photography, where I capture the moments that matter most on your wedding day with timeless and poetic imagery. My name is Ethan, and since picking up my first camera at age 14, I’ve been dedicated to telling love stories through natural, emotion-driven photos. Based in Prior Lake, MN, and St. Paul, I specialize in wedding and engagement photography, focusing on creating authentic, unforgettable visuals that reflect the beauty and emotion of your special day. My approach is centered around building a personal connection with each couple, allowing me to understand your unique story. On your wedding day, I work quietly in the background, capturing the candid moments that make your celebration so special—from the anticipation as you prepare for the ceremony to the joy of your first dance. My documentary style ensures that each photo feels natural while still ensuring all the important details and emotions are beautifully preserved. The process begins with getting to know you. After reviewing my work, we’ll meet for a 20-minute consultation via Zoom or in person over coffee—my treat! We’ll discuss your vision for your wedding or engagement session and ensure we’re a great fit. Once we’ve established that, we’ll move forward with booking, and I’ll help you plan a shot list that reflects your preferences for the big day. Let’s create something beautiful together and capture memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
