When looking for photographers, Hannah really stood out. She is friendly, communicates well, and photographs beautifully. After our first conversation, I knew she was the right person for us. Leading up to the event, she reached out and answered all of my questions. She was patient with me and provided so much helpful info. On the day of, Hannah was truly like a friend. She made me feel comfortable and had such a good, positive energy. Her partner Emily also was amazing! I had a dress malfunction and Hannah and Emily were on it helping me fix it. The final gallery really exceeded our expectations. With every picture I am brought back to the moment. Hannah made our dreams come true and we have pictures we will cherish forever.
Hannah is just one of my favorite people EVER! From the moment we met her for our engagement shoot, her genuine kindness and professionalism made us fall in love with her. She effortlessly moves you into the most beautiful poses and captures the best angles all while making you feel so comfortable and relaxed. For our wedding, she captured all of our special moments and even helped me figure out ways to incorporate my late mom into some of the photos. She built our timeline for the wedding day to perfection and helped keep us all on time.
Her photography style is breathtakingly stunning!! Every photo is naturally incredible, her knack for capturing love, fun, and elegance is something few photographers can do and Hannah is a master. Sneak peeks are sent within 24 hours with the remaining pictures also within a very quick turnaround. All of our friends and family were beyond impressed with the quality and beauty of our wedding photos. Hannah has become such an amazing friend to us personally and I can’t thank her enough for the most beautiful representation of our wedding and love.
Hannah and her team were absolutely amazing throughout the whole process! She is so organized leading up to the wedding and I felt like she truly understood our vision. The photos ended up being BEYOND what we ever could have imagined. We are forever grateful!!!
Not only were the photos of my daughter's wedding stunning, but Hannah's attention to detail even after the event really makes her stand out from others! (I had a bra strap slip that was visible in many of our formal family shots, and Hannah immediately took the time to edit it out in every single photo). My daughter and new son in law are over the moon with their pictures, and as a mother of the bride, I was very pleased with Hannah's professionalism and attention to detail!
Funny enough, my husband actually found Hannah through Instagram first and we were blown away by the number of 5-star reviews after looking her up further. Reinforcing the sentiments of what many others here have posted, but 5 stars does not even begin to encompass how amazing she and her team are, and how grateful we feel to have had her as part of our day.
My husband is not a huge fan of pictures, but Hannah and her team put us all at ease and captured our best moments - big and small - throughout the day. HUGE props to her as well in wrangling some of our rowdy groomsmen!
Hannah you were such a joy to work with and we are obsessed with every photo in our gallery!!
Anyone who is in need of a photographer, look no further.
I wish there were 10 stars that I could choose, because Hannah deserves it! We have had the opportunity to shoot with Hannah a few times, so having her as our photographer for our wedding was a no brainer! She made our day stress free and captured our wedding beautifully. Hannah's style and vision was exactly what we were looking for and needed in a photographer. I can not recommend her enough. We did a destination wedding and I flew Hannah out because she is truly the best at what she does. The pictures she captured will truly last a lifetime.
We believe that choosing a photographer is the single most important decision in wedding preparation. Hannah brought such a shining light, calming energy, and efficiency to our wedding day. She was very clear in all of her communications and implemented all of our requests. More than anything, Hannah was incredibly easy to trust. The resulting pictures were beyond everything we hoped for. We provided little to no input, except for the questionnaires Hannah provided. We just let Hannah make the rest of the decisions and the results were magical.
I cannot say enough about how happy we are we hired Hannah as our wedding photographer! Once I saw her work I knew we had to work with her immediately, specifically for the sunset photos that looked right out of a bridal magazine! I immediately reached out to Hannah and pretty much the rest is history! Our phone call to gauge if we would be a good fit was filled with laughs and it just felt so natural! She was extremely communicative and easy to work with which helped with all my wedding planning anxieties tremendously. The engagement shots with her was where we first got to meet and it felt like meeting a true friend. She had us laughing non-stop and made us feel truly comfortable. We felt awkward on our drive over, having never done professional photos before, but she immediately put us at ease! On the day of the wedding Hannah and her team were so kind, so efficient, and so professional! We had a large (read here rowdy) wedding party and some difficult family dynamics that they expertly navigated. Their team made sure everyone just truly was themselves and had fun! The pictures showed just how comfortable and happy everyone was in her presence. The photos truly captured the spirit of our big day and transport us right back there every time we look through them. Our family and friends we have shared the photos with are absolutely amazed and just how well they turned out and how much they feel like our big day did. I cannot recommend Hannah and her team enough! Truly the best decision we made!
Hannah and her team are a perfect dream! She is very calm and professional. In the beginning of our journey she referred us to other great vendors and related us to what our vision is. On the big weekend she was a power house making sure our lovely day went perfectly. She was able to make sure there were enough staff to get all the photos wanted in a timely process. She did a beautiful job capturing all our decorations, which on the day you might miss specifics so having photos is a great way to remember! She was such a joy and bubbly person to work with! Hannah and her team definitely uplifted our wedding!
Hannah was so amazing and we cannot recommend her enough. She made our day so easy and stress free and got all of the shots we wanted. She mad everyone in our wedding party at ease and ensured we had fun during all of our photos. Hannah was able to read the room and switch things up when needed (like sending me into the AC when I was overheating before the wedding). I highly recommend Hannah to anyone who is looking for photographer for their wedding.
Hannah is just the nicest person ever and was so patient with us as we went through our wedding planning process. She helped us out with every detail from timeline to general wedding planning suggestions, going above and beyond for us to make sure our wedding photos turned out perfect. Our photos were truly everything we could have wished for, and captured our vision and personalities perfectly. Best decision we made!
Hannah was the best decision my husband and I made. She is a true artist, I pinch myself every time I look at my gorgeous wedding day photos. She is also an absolute JOY to work with. She was with me for every step of the wedding day, and her calming, funny, creative presence was a gift. I tear up every time I look at the photos she took; do not look any further for your wedding photographer than Hannah. She is the best of the best.
Hannah did a phenomenal job capturing our celebration and was an absolute joy to work with. We love our wedding photos! From our first phone conversation, Hannah gave us comfort and confidence that our photos would be well taken care of. She was empathetic and organized, and made taking pictures fun and easy for us (we are not normally picture people), our families, wedding party, and guests. Thank you, Hannah!
Hannah deserves all the praise on these reviews!!! She is the real deal. She photographed our wedding (and welcome party) last week and we can’t stop thinking about what a beautiful job she did. Prior to our wedding weekend, Hannah and I had never met in person since I live in New York. Through our communications I knew she was organized and professional — she really took the time to understand our vision for the day, build the perfect photo timeline, etc. But I couldn’t know until meeting her in person the full extent of her awesomeness! The other reviews mention this, but she has the perfect combination of being fun, sweet and flexible, while also possessing the professionalism and authority to get the most beautiful shots AND remain on timeline. She was always ten steps ahead in setting up the next shot which made things super efficient, but she was flexible and creative in trying new things as well. Even though there are so many hours of photos at weddings, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the process with Hannah. Our family and wedding party were raving about her all night. We got our sneak peeks back less than 48 hours later and they were more beautiful than I could have dreamed! I am in awe of her talent and can’t wait to see her career soar even higher. I will forever cherish these photos and the experience with Hannah.
Hannah did our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn’t be happier! She’s so talented and a pleasure to work with! She’s professional, kind, and gets the job done all while making you feel comfortable in front of the camera! Our wedding photos turned out amazing and we will cherish these photos forever! Thank you Hannah!!!
I wish I could give Hannah a million stars! Hannah was so great to work with and captured our day better than I could have dreamed! I cried looking through all of our photos, they are just beyond perfect! Also she is the sweetest person in the world! I cannot wait to continue working with her in the future! She is truly amazing 🤍
We could not be happier with Hannah and cannot speak highly enough of her talent, professionalism, and our overall experience working with her! Initially, we were very close to booking another photographer, but we came across Hannah's pictures while scrolling through a friend's photos on Facebook. Immediately, her photos jumped out at us, and after seeing more of her photos and learning about her working style on her website, we knew we just had to book her, and we don't regret it one bit! Hannah is so sweet and incredibly easy to work with. In preparation of the wedding, she listened to our needs, provided guidance, and asked all the right questions in order to give us exactly what we were looking for on the actual day - and she definitely delivered! On the day of, she made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, her knowledge of the venue beforehand helped to get those *perfect* shots, and she was so flexible in handling our 5(!) locations, one of them being impromptu! She reached out in literally a day to provide us with some amazing sneak peeks, and our final gallery in about a month, and we could not be happier with the results.
Anyone who has a chance to work with Hannah and her skill is lucky to have her. Her photos speak for herself - you must book her!!
Hannah was amazing to work with! My husband and I just got married this past May. She made my now husband and I feel SO comfortable during our engagement shoot and wedding! Her posing cues really helped us and made for some great photos. I found Hannah through a friend on Instagram and fell in love with how her wedding pictures she posted turned out. Hannah helped make my wedding day feel so smooth and always kept us on track timing wise. I am so happy with our wedding photos and can't wait for our wedding album! Hannah is the best!!
I found Hannah through a holiday card from my bridesmaid. I was staring at a photo on my fridge for the past year and realized I really loved the style of photography and had to ask my friend who the photographer was. So I had my call with Hannah and the rest was history.
My husband and I were never used to being photographed but Hannah is extremely easy to work with and working with her never felt forced. She is warm, thoughtful, and super talented at capturing pure joy in her photography. We also included our pugs in both our engagement shoot and wedding day and I have to say she’s an actual superwoman to be able to capture all of our smiles in a family photo…. IT IS TRULY IMPRESSIVE.
Hannah even found me my dream team wedding planners and there’s nothing I love more than vendors enjoying working with other vendors to make my dream wedding day the best day ever. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and extremely talented photographer... I would 10000% recommend Hannah!
THANKS HANNAH FOR EVERYTHING. <3
Hannah is a literally and angel and such a delight to work with! She comes prepared for anything and everything, which is what any future bride could hope for in a photographer.
My now husband and I did our engagement shoot with her and she recently photographed our wedding day. After our first call with Hannah she sent us a guide to help us navigate the tumultuous time that is the beginning stages of wedding planning. It had everything you could think of and everything you probably didn’t think of. It even included advice on outfit choices for our engagement shoot, which I found to be extremely helpful.
We had never taken professional photos before, so naturally we were a bit nervous. All those nerves drifted away when we met Hannah in person because she is so easy going and pleasant to be around. We took our engagement photos at a popular park near our home, but she made us feel so comfortable it felt like we were the only people there and the photos reflected that. She has an amazing eye for getting the perfect lighting and making a crowded place feel secluded.
She took the time to put together an extremely detailed timeline of the big day. She went through it on a call with me and my coordinator to make sure she had everything I wanted and that we were all on the same page. She really went above and beyond in the organization and preparation department.
She also has the patience of a saint. She dealt with our families and our bridal party with kindness, but also the authority she needed to get things done. She managed to get all the pictures we requested, despite some rowdiness from our groomsmen.
When I saw the sneak peak photos the Monday after the wedding, I nearly cried because they were so beautiful. It feel like we were living the day all over again. She really captured the essence of the whole day and the love we share. I couldn’t be more appreciative of her talent. I can’t wait to have her capture our future milestones.
Where do I even start?? Hannah is simply the best of the best. From our very first call I felt so comfortable with her - she is warm, kind and genuinely cares about her clients. She went above and beyond when I asked her for vendor recommendations and general wedding advice.
And her photos are STUNNING! She is so talented and truly captures moments in the day. Looking our wedding album, I am transported back to our wedding day and have so many photos to remember the wonderful, meaningful moments. You will not find a better photographer! Having Hannah as our photographers was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding!
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS PHOTOS! Don't walk - run faster than you ever have to book Hannah for your wedding day! Seriously she is the best! First off, her guide for couples when they first sign a contract with her was the first thing that told me, that she was a seasoned professional and that my couple was in amazing hands. Throughout the planning process, Hannah was responsive, kind, and attentive to the couple and their wants/ideas/needs. On their wedding day- the couple felt like Hannah was a dear friend of theirs photographing them. She was sweet, and warm and made the couple feel so relaxed in front of the camera. And the most important, Hannah's photos captured the day more beautifully than I even remember it. The natural lighting, the candid moments we might have missed, and all of the couples must have shots were captured beautifully. You will be so happy with your choice when working with Hannah! She is a dream!
Working together with Hannah has been amazing. As with any other covid couple, our plans changed all the time as we were rolling with the punches. It was great how accommodating she was. I worked together with Hannah for both my tea ceremony, engagement photos, as well as my wedding. Needless to say, it was a very smooth process. Hannah was able to accommodate us for our tea ceremony since we had a joint tea ceremony with my two brothers. My other brother had his own photographer and I really loved how Hannah was able to work along with the other photographer. We also were able to sneak away for a few minutes and Hannah was able to capture some of the most amazing shots in such a short amount of time. Even with not optimal lighting since it was around noon, I was shook at how beautiful the photos looked. For our engagement photo, I really wanted to go to Calla Lilly Valley. Even though it was a bit after the flowers had bloomed, Hannah was able to position us and capture shots. She has the most amazing eye for picking up the best background details and best positions. It was freezing that day but I’m so glad she even got in the water with us to capture some fun shots. By the time it was our wedding, my husband and I were so familiar with Hannah, we really were able to enjoy the day without worrying about the little things. I think having worked with her over a few different shots really helped us relax and enjoy the process. If you want the most dreamy sunset photos, she knows all the tricks of the trade. You can definitely trust that you are getting a wide range of photos from candid to posed. I loved how she asked what we wanted or what we wanted to avoid. For example, I really wanted great photo of our parents and she made it a point to capture them! Overall, Hannah is extremely professional, timely, and great at her job. I look forward to hopefully working again with her sometime soon for my maternity shot or lifestyle shot.
Where do I begin? I have worked with a number of photographers in a number of capacities over the years, and I simply can't recommend Hannah and her team more. I am SO happy I worked with her for my wedding.
Planning and executing a wedding is *stressful*. Hannah is one of the few vendors I worked with who actually eliminated stress. She was patient, kind, thorough and professional. Her full-scope bridal guide helped with expectations of working with her as well as just being a bride, and she was there for tips or advice on every part of the wedding (which was above and beyond her role!) She was supportive and very responsive with any questions I had, and made me feel extremely comfortable and trusting that I would get every photo I wanted on the big day. My husband and I have big families and we had quite a list of family photo we wanted to get. Seeing Hannah so seamlessly lead in making sure all of the members were present and ready for photos, keeping things snappy so people could go enjoy the party but making sure nothing was missed, was amazing. Also, the second shooter she hired was phenomenal, which speaks for her level of expectation for herself and her team. I can't wait to hire her for future photos!!!! Thanks, Hannah!
This review is way overdue..Hannah is an amazing photographer, super easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable and confident. The photos are wonderful and we even got a few sneak peeks a day after our shoot!
Thank you so much, Hannah!
This is LONG overdue as our wedding was October 2020; however, every time I look at our photos I am once again floored by how amazing Hannah was in capturing both our engagement as well as our wedding photos! Prior to our engagement shoot, she took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. She was always available to answer our questions & gave us great tips and recommendations including the location for our engagement photos which were PERFECTION! During the session(s); it is obvious that all her focus was on our day and capturing perfect photos. She sent us our sneak peek the next day & OMG the final gallery was just a dream… I cried seeing the photos! Not only is Hannah extremely talented in her craft, but she is a wonderful person; she truly cares about not only her clients, but their families/friends as well. When searching for someone to capture your most important life events, look no further than Hannah!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer and are coming across Hannah— seriously look no further! Hannah not only exceeds and masters her craft in photography, but is one of the kindest of souls and so much fun. She is the best of the best. She truly is somebody who is rooting for you and went absolutely above and beyond and was hands down one of our favorite vendors. She was super reliable, assuring, and we trusted her completely- which is so important when looking for a photographer (beyond their skill)The quality of the photos are outstanding. She was so helpful supportive, and comforting- we had some unexpected rain expected to hit our outdoor ceremony, and we gave her a email expressing our concerns and she immediately gave us a call and was so helpful and assuring in coming up with some ideas. Luckily we only had some drizzle, but she helped made that moment and photos feel and look so magical. She truly has an eye to capture each and every moment. I was completely blown away at how fast her turn around was for the photos. We even got some beautiful sneak peeks that next day! With our (very organized) photo gallery, I truly feel like I am reliving the day and moments every time I look at them. She truly captured the romance and wonder of it all. She is such a amazing photographer, artist, communicator, and all around great human being. She was a dream to work with. We love Hannah!
This is long overdue…I’ve decided that Hannah needs to photograph ALL of our life’s big moments. In fact, not only did she shoot our covid backyard wedding, but she also did our maternity photos. Hannah has a way of making you feel at ease in front of her lens, resulting in images that look like something out of a magazine. Plus, she is an amazing sounding board for maternity dresses! Can’t think of many photographers I’d text awkward dress selfies to in order to find the perfect look! Hannah makes sure her clients feel their best so she can capture the joy, love, and excitement in life’s biggest moments.
I am so beyond grateful that Hannah was our wedding photographer. From the point of booking to the actual wedding day, Hannah was just a delight to work with. She did an amazing job at capturing our vision for the day and just set the overall mood/ energy. It was actually an overcast/ misty day, and as the bride, it was a little disappointing and I had a hard time not being in a funk. As soon as Hannah arrived that day, she made me feel 1000000x better. She ensured me that everything was going to be great and that this type of weather was actually better for pictures. And OH MY GOD was she right about that. Our wedding pictures are absolutely stunning. Everyone that has seen pictures from that day, tells us that these photos belong in a magazine and that they are the most beautiful wedding photos they have ever seen. Throughout the entire day Hannah was just amazing. I cannot talk enough about it. From her professional demeanor, to her timeliness and staying on schedule. She was just perfect! She made everything feel fun and casual and didn’t stress about anything. Even when it started to actually rain before the wedding/ during wedding party photos. I felt like we didn’t get enough pictures done in time since we needed to get inside and out of the rain. But Hannah is so quick to find the best shots and they turned out amazing. She sent back the “sneak peak” photos 2 days after the wedding. And it was so nice being able to look at those on our honeymoon. I seriously want to get married again so that I can have Hannah photograph it!! But I’m so happy to know that I will have amazing photos for all upcoming life events 😊😊😊 I cannot recommend Hannah enough. She was just the best!
Picking a wedding photographer is likely the most challenging vendor, many of your wedding memories are in their hands. My husband and I Zoom-interviewed countless photographers and we immediately cancelled every other interview / photographer hold after getting off our call with Hannah. Even over video, we felt like old friends.
Throughout the wedding preparation process, we met and took photos with Hannah to get to know each other in person. We had a great time hanging out, making jokes, and all the while, getting outstanding "engagement" photos (we had already sent out a save-the-date). Hannah was also an expert at wrangling our pup, who loved to sniff and ignore the camera. Leading up to our wedding, she shared really helpful tools, which assisted us in outlining our wedding day and advising other vendors. Hannah checked in on us and regularly met with us over Zoom to make sure we were all on track. Unlike some of our other prep calls, we really looked forward to our prep sessions with Hannah.
The day of our wedding, Hannah went out of her way to make it a success. When our florist insisted on delivering flowers later, Hannah picked up an extra bouquet to photograph with our details. She has an impressive wedding industry history, so she actually knew one of our vendors already and despite meeting the rest of the first time, she seamlessly flowed with all of them. She immediatley went to work with our wedding coordinator, but also adding to the camraderie and fun of "getting ready". She even advised and dealt with our very challenging videographer, who consistently got in her way.
I can't imagine having anyone else so intimately involved with our wedding day as Hannah. I was looking forward to 1:1 moments with my husband the most, and Hannah made sure to prioritize those moments for us, capturing every ounce of excitement and bliss. Those moments are my most treasured of the day, and I actually really enjoyed having her there for them, because she is such a special person (and now friend)! She knows exactly how to handle anything thrown at her on wedding day.
I can't recommend Hannah enough for your wedding experience. If you're looking for a truly special memory of your day, you will not only come out with hundreds of incredible photos, but you'll leave with a great new friend.
Hannah is the absolute BEST OF THE BEST. We honestly don’t have enough kind words to say about her! She made us feel so comfortable and truly captured our love story through the lens of her camera. Her photos really speak for themselves. Hannah is so sweet, professional, and incredibly talented! She really took the time to get to know us and it feels like we have gained a close friend. We will be calling her up for all of our photography needs in the future. We couldn’t recommend her enough!
We cannot say enough great things about Hannah. We did our engagement shoot with her - she made us feel so comfortable and we had a blast! We loved the photos so much that we booked her for our wedding. Our original wedding was postponed due to COVID and Hannah was more than accommodating with the date change, going above and beyond to be there for our new date. The photos from the wedding turned out absolutely stunning. Hannah was able to capture the big moments and the little, candid moments that make weddings so special. If you are in the market for a wedding photographer, engagement photographer, or anything else, she is the best of the best!
Hannah is an absolute dream to work with. She is so sweet and professional. We booked Hannah to shoot our engagement pictures and to capture our wedding day. She was dedicated to making sure that we loved everything. From the moment we booked her, she was there to answer any and all questions, ease any concerns, and help with basically anything. I truly felt like I could ask her anything at any time, and that was such a comforting feeling. Hannah made sure to get to know us as individuals, a couple, our story, and what our vision was. She made us feel special!
On the day of our wedding, Hannah was calm, patient, and supportive. (She even bustled and un-bustled my dress when needed.) Hannah was able to capture the love that we felt on our wedding day. We are beyond happy with our pictures and are forever grateful for her! We got ur sneak peaks the day after our wedding, our entire gallery a month after, and she helped us create the most beautiful photo album!
I would 100% recommend Hannah!
Hannah was so awesome at our wedding! She was so good about keeping everyone on time. Watching her work especially during detail shots was watching straight magic. She was so fun and made it such an easy night! I’d definitely recommend her to everyone. Our sneak peaks came out so good and we can’t wait to see the rest of them!
Hannah is such a dream! You tell through her photograghs how much passion she has for her craft. We first connected for our engagement pictures. Hannah spent time to truly get to know us as a couple and calmed our nerves during the shoot. She is so kind, thoughtful and patient. Just when I thought she couldn't exceed expectations anymore, she blew us away on our wedding day. She spent extra time getting the pictures that I told her would mean so much to me. I had so many people commenting to me during the wedding how approachable and sweet Hannah was. Less than 24 hours after the wedding she sent us sneak peaks and we were speechless, they were so beautiful. I can't recommend Hannah enough for your bridal dream team!!
Hannah is so sweet and professional, she made the whole experience feel like a dream. From the first conversation where she took time to know our story to her shooting our wedding day and everything in between, she did it with grace and love! We are forever grateful for Hannah for being part of our day!
Hannah is incredible! She managed to capture the best of our family. Which says a lot when our youngest just turned 2 and spent half the time shying away. I wasn't sure if he smiled even once, but I was blown away with what we received. Our session was a half hour and she gave us a beautiful set of dynamic photos. She was great with the kids, gave easy to follow directions/poses and even captured the natural undirected moments. I can't say enough good things and anyone would be lucky to have her as their photographer.
Hannah is truly the best of the best!! One (of many) things that I appreciate about her is during our first meeting she really wanted to get to know who we are and our story as a couple. When we talked about the location for our engagement shoot, somewhere she hadn’t been yet, she was very open to going there and checking it out! During the shoot she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed, and of course the pictures are gorgeous! Then when our wedding plans changed due to covid, Hannah was very accommodating and even gave us some ideas for our intimate wedding. She definitely goes above and beyond to make you feel special, before, during, and after all the wedding festivities! Her friendly and easy-going personality is exactly what you need on your wedding day! We’re so grateful we found her and we can’t wait to work with her again!
Where do I even start!? Hannah went above and beyond during our wedding. Without a doubt, she is the G.O.A.T. From the very beginning of the day, Hannah's calm and professional demeanor made everyone feel comfortable during what his typically a hectic experience. Hannah is pragmatic, discrete, warm, punctual, and a seriously talented photographer. Throughout the day, my husband and I received so many compliments about her, and how easy she was to work with. She easily commanded our chaotic bridal party and family photos, and made them quick, painless, and totally stunning. I would 100% recommend Hannah to any couple looking for a wedding photographer.
The only way that I can think to begin is that I cannot recommend Hannah enough! From the very beginning, Hannah has been so kind, thoughtful, positive, calm, and knowledgeable about her craft. We met with Hannah a few months before the pandemic began and immediately knew we needed her to photograph our wedding! Her pictures were beautiful, and her sweet personality is everything you could want on your wedding day. At first, we were not sure if we wanted to do engagements photos. Hannah provided us with her (amazing) bridal guide and shared with us all of the reasons why engagements are so important. We did our engagements in Feb. 2020, and we will cherish those photos forever!
When our wedding was postponed due to COVID, Hannah was so understanding and immediately responded to reschedule for our new date in 2021. She also checked in just to see how we were doing on a personal level, which meant so much during that time. She has a big heart that shows through in everything she does.
On June 27, 2021, we finally got to have our wedding. Hannah has a questionnaire for couples to fill out before the big day so that she knows your vision exactly and all the important photos that need to be taken. The best words I can use to describe Hannah on the day of our wedding are patient, calm, supportive, and strong. There is so much to think about on the day of the wedding and coordinators/family members pulling you in many directions, and Hannah was the voice of reason and calm through it all. She truly had our best interest in mind and never wavered from what she knew would make us happy after the fact. She even learned how to do my bustle on the spot so that we could do sunset photos un-bustled and then re-bustle just in time for our first dance. It made all the difference in our sunset photos, and I am forever grateful!!!
Saving the best for last: Less than 24 hours after our wedding, Hannah sent us our Sneak Peak album, and there were many tears!!! She captured the exact feeling of our wedding, and the pictures seriously should be in a magazine. We are still pinching ourselves that we have these insanely amazing pictures to treasure for the rest of our lives. If you are considering booking Hannah for your wedding or any other special event, 100% do it! We are so grateful that we got to work with her, and we hope we get to again in the future for family shoots.
I cannot imagine anyone else capturing our day. Hannah was the first vendor we booked, just a few weeks after we got engaged and she was calm and comforting in what felt like an incredibly chaotic time. Her suggestions for what might look best in terms of scenery and attire were so helpful, and her full bridal guide is a godsend for everything from day-of schedule, to reminders to have a snack, to logical reasons for a first look (we were definitely on the fence for this one), among a thousand other tidbits I might have overlooked.
We first met in person at our engagement photos, and though we were incredibly awkward at first, Hannah truly put us at ease and gave us a perfect amount of direction and freedom to just be ourselves to leave feeling excited at the prospect of taking more pictures at our wedding, and with some amazing engagement photos.
When the pandemic forced us to totally change our plans twice, Hannah was so kind and willing to talk through whatever we needed (photography related or not) and was the very first vendor to confirm that she was available for our new dates. When the day finally arrived at our new, unfamiliar-to-Hannah venue of my mom's backyard, Hannah brought that excited, but calm, confident air with her once again. Our bridal party and family couldn't stop talking about how wonderful Hannah was, and when the sneaks came in the next day, we were all floored by how beautiful she made us all look! And now, with our full wedding album, I am still in awe of her work--and speed. Her work with lighting in particular is just gorgeous. I can't wait to continue working with her as our family grows and couldn't recommend Hannah more. As my friends get engaged, she's the first vendor I'm suggesting.
I can't say enough amazing things about Hannah! From our engagement photos, to navigating planning our wedding during COVID, she was incredible to work with. She is professional, optimistic, warm, kind, and funny... not to mention her photos are amazing! Working with Hannah on our wedding day was a dream. Obviously she is incredibly talented as a photographer, but I think what sets her apart from others is her ability to make her clients feel like friends. She was there to remind me us to eat snacks, to help fix our trains & dresses and to make us laugh. I highly recommend Hannah---I would hire her over and over again if I could!
Hannah is outstanding. That is actually an understatement, she is so patient, kind, professional, and has such a passion for what she does. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and our wedding. She also was so great to work with from 3,000 miles away since we were a destination wedding. You can tell how passionate she is and cares for her clients. She genuinely is the best human and anyone would be silly to not hire her! Thank you so much Hannah, your work is so appreciated and wish I could live my wedding a million times over to hangout with you hehe xoxo
I found Hannah via Zola, and I struck gold. Just ask for what you want! I have never been married before and honestly didn't know what kind of pictures would be interesting. I did know that I wanted to hire a professional photographer so everyone else could enjoy the moment. I've seen some sneak peaks, and I'm very happy with what I'm seeing.
The plan was a wedding ceremony of less than 10, but we ended up with 14 at the end. We just wanted a ceremony and a toast. No big after party, no formal diner, just simplicity. It worked great!
Hannah and I started with a simple email exchange. We then had a detailed phone conversation that I felt was extremely successful in conveying my fears, concerns, and goals for pictures (as I had them). Hannah was able to give me ideas, asked if I wanted some "other" types of pictures, and we worked out all the big details.
She was very responsive to all my questions, was able to come a little earlier to event as planned, and did a lot more! Make sure to have someone explain who all the guests are to the photographer -- was the best piece of advice. My (now) husband's side has divorced parents, a half sister, and things get complicated. I asked Hannah for pictures with everyone and to take some with separate individuals to ensure everyone gets what they want.
We also have the advantage that someone would tell people how to stand, where to look, when to smile, and all that photography stuff.
My best advice is to ask the question, ask if the photographer can suggest anything better, and listen to for advice. Make it fun, make it your own, and speak with Hannah about your event.
Hannah shot our mini-mony in October 2020! After postponing our large wedding due to COVID, we impromptu decided to make it legal regardless. We stumbled on her when looking for elopement photographers. Her work is AMAZING and our pictures reflect that. She captured all the intimate and fun moments of our day. We changed our plans a couple times and she was supportive the whole way through. Hannah is kind, effective, professional and FUN! Thank you so much for making our special day even more special, we would recommend Hannah to all of our friends and family.
[TL:DR]: I fell in love all over again while taking engagement photos by Hannah, and Hannah captured it all on photo
[Full Review]:
Once I got over the initial joyous shock of booking my engagement shoot with Hannah, I was met with panic. What would my partner and I wear, and how many outfits were too many? Where would we shoot? Who would do my makeup and hair? Upon checking my email, I realized Hannah had sent over a beautifully crafted Session Style Guide cheat sheet specific to an engagement shoot which provided helpful tips for styling both her & him, how to choose a location, hair and make up hints, and even a few recommendations of what to avoid that only a true friend would provide. The pre-shoot support did not end there. Hannah was there to answer any questions about potential outfits that I threw her way and provided guidance when I was attempting to choose between to locations. Never once while asking any of the hundreds of questions I had for Hannah did I feel like I was a burden. She always validated my concerns and helped to resolve them, which was so comforting.
When the day of the shoot arrived, somehow the butterflies in my stomach crept in yet again. Although my hair and makeup had been done and I loved the outfits my fiancé and I had chosen, it felt as though there was so much pressure on my shoulders to control the uncontrollable by dialing in the perfect smile, assessing my angles, and doing anything I could to ensure these photos came out remarkable. Knowing what I know now, I wish I hadn’t spent ANY of that time stressing over these variables as none of them would matter for a split second during our time with Hannah.
When we got to our location, Hannah gave us a brief prep & pep talk to inform us of what we could expect for the shoot. And then we were off. Hannah gave cues that put my mirror manicured smile to rest and replaced partner and my photos with pure adoration for one another. While the location was a bit busy and bustling with onlookers, it felt as though no one else was there - and the photos that Hannah captured conveyed that exact sentiment. I fell in love with my fiancé all over again that day because of the fun we had together while shooting, the genuine laughter that we shared, and the romantic energy that Hannah was able to create by fostering comfort in an unfamiliar and new atmosphere. By the end of the two hour shoot, my heart was full of love and appreciation.
By noon the next day, we had about 12 sneak peek photos at our finger tips. While I was in awe of the warmth and intimacy that Hannah was able to capture, I was even more astounded when we received our final album back less than two weeks later. Hannah has such an incredible eye for amazing shots and captured photos I couldn’t have even dreamed up. One of my favorites was at the Sutro Baths where Hannah was able to capture my fiancé and I in an embrace both in person and within the water’s reflection. Hannah’s work is truly phenomenal.
There is not a single person I wouldn’t refer to Hannah. Engagement shoot? Wedding day? Family shoot? Date night? Please turn to Hannah. She is the most intuitive photographers I have ever worked with and such a kind, whole-hearted individual. I cannot wait to work with her in the future for wedding shoots and family photos to come. After my engagement shoot, I don’t know how I would choose any other photographer over Hannah.
Thank you, Hannah. I really can’t thank you enough.
Hannah is not only an amazing photographer but also an amazing human being!
We took our engagement photos and wedding postponement photos with Hannah and had great experiences with both. Hannah makes you feel comfortable and natural- no cheesy staged
photos! Not to mention, the photos turned out beautifully.
On top of her amazing photos, Hannah was so incredibly supportive when we were making the decision to postpone our wedding due to Covid. She was THE most understanding and accommodating of all of our vendors. We are so grateful to have worked with Hannah.
Thanks Hannah for everything!
Xoxo Lindsey and Bryan
Hannah is an amazing photographer! From her patented visual style to her masterful use of natural lighting, she is a true talent.
When you select a photographer for important moments in your life, you want someone who will go above and beyond. Hannah exemplified this when the fires in California closed down our original photoshoot location. She quickly found an alternative location that provided a variety of options for backdrops.
During the photoshoot, she did a great job putting my fiancé and I in the right positions to get the optimal poses. The photos came out fantastic!
I highly recommend Hannah for your engagement or wedding photos.
The BEST of the best!! Hannah shot my wedding in August 2020 and she was more than just our photographer, she was also a solid support system. COVID threw quite a few curve balls at us, but Hannah helped keep me positive, calm, and focused on the most important part - actually getting married!! She also provided me with a Bridal Guide (that she created from her our experience as a bride and as a photographer) that was very helpful with the planning, coordinating, and all things 'wedding.' She was professional, communicative, helpful, kind, fun, and trusting. My husband has a tendency to hate all pictures of himself, but once he saw our wedding album he was pleasantly surprised! He and I both couldn't pick favorites because we loved every.single.picture. Hannah did an awesome job of making us feel comfortable. She has a way of capturing pure, raw emotions and our personalities showed in the pictures! Our ceremony was fun, intimate, emotional, and loving and all those emotions really show when looking though the finished album. You know something is so good, so special, you get goosebumps... this is the feeling I get every time I look at our pictures! My venue and other vendors I used for our wedding really enjoyed working with Hannah and plan to add her to their preferred vendor list.
From the bottom of our hearts, Hannah, thank you.
Love,
Megan and Ryan van Niekerk
As I was searching for our wedding photographer I INSTANTLY fell in love with Hannah’s style and how she captures the fun, loving, and romantic sides of her couples. After meeting her, I knew she was the perfect fit for our wedding! Her kindness and way of making you feel like you’re spending time with a friend made me instantly feel relaxed and comfortable knowing that I could trust her fully with our most important day. Our engagement pictures were BEAUTIFUL and captured us perfectly. I cannot wait for Hannah to capture our wedding day in October!
My fiance and I had our engagement photos taken by Hannah. Coming from two people who had absolutely no idea what to do, what to wear, or even how to pose when it comes down to the photoshoot itself, Hannah had the answer for every question we had. Hannah even provided a very informative guide written by herself detailing tips and tricks regarding style and apparel for both his and her which was very helpful.
When working with Hannah, she was super friendly, personable, and very passionate about her work. Her personality and demeanor makes you feel very comfortable and immediately at ease. Hannah is very welcoming, delightful, and made the entire experience both effortlessly and enjoyable for my fiance and I. Hannah is able to capture the breathtaking yet surreal moments of that instance and the final results were stunningly beautiful photographs that my fiance and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Hannah was more than such a pleasure to work with. You can easily look at Hannah's portfolio and see that she not only takes amazing photographs, but that she also takes pride in her work. But what really makes Hannah amazing is the intangibles stated above that you get when you choose her.
Hannah was amazing to work with, she shot both our engagement shoot (at Berkeley Botanical Garden) and our wedding in a similar outdoor venue. She was so pleasant to work with, helped us get into photo-worthy poses with ease and charm and all around really got to know and capture our personalities in her photos. Hannah also went the extra mile to shoot our small Covid-friendly wedding - and was incredibly flexible and professional in accomodating us. We received both sets of photos quickly and absolutely love them! We would work with her again in a heartbeat.
Hannah shot both our engagement and wedding photos, and they looked absolutely amazing!!! She captures natural lights, and turns photos (especially sneak peeks) around very quickly! She is very easy to work with, will confirm to make sure there aren't other places or photos you want to take / capture for either your engagement or wedding day. She is also open to suggestions if you want to see your photos edited more or less. I recommend Hannah if you are looking for a photographer to capture your big day! Photos are what you will remember!
Hannah is the absolute best! She shot our engagement photos back in January and we immediately hit it off with her! We seriously can't wait for our wedding in October and are even more excited that she will be there capturing our big day. We highly, highly recommend Hannah!
Hannah is the sweetest most considerate photographer I’ve ever met! She was originally recommended to me by a friend whose beautiful maternity photos were shot by Hannah. We’ve since had our engagement shoot and the photos were beautiful! She made my fiancé and me feel comfortable and we were laughing the whole time. She truly cares about her clients and their overall experience. She offers support and guidance throughout the planning process and we could not be happier with our decision to work with her!
We were delighted with Hannah. She made us feel relaxed and at ease at all times. Additionally, she has an incredible bride guide that helped guide many of our decisions and was a great go to resource throughout our planning process. Hannah took beautiful photos of us that we and are families cherish!
My fiancé and I could not feel more grateful to have had our engagements taken by Hannah. We never planned on taking engagement pictures, fearing it would be awkward or cheesy. However, we decided to go for it, since it was included in Hannah's package, and we are SO happy we did! Not only was the experience amazing, but our pictures are better than we could have ever imagined. Hannah is so insanely talented and EVERYONE should hire her to be their wedding photographer! She is warm, comforting, silly, and best of all, a friend to her clients. I am so excited to have Hannah taking our pictures at our wedding in June!
Hannah is absolutely stellar! We asked her to take engagement photos for us in March 2020. She is warm, fun, and very talented at photography. My fiancé and I had a blast with her, as she put us in all the right spots and adapted on the fly to changing lighting and weather conditions. Her energy and humor also made a fun evening out of what can feel like a scripted, awkward event. Her photos emphasize light and glow which add such a positive emphasis in the end product. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a knock-out photo shoot!
I have had the pleasure of knowing Hannah for a long while and have seen her photos evolve over the years. I knew that the day I became engaged, that I had to have her capture all the special moments that would follow. Hannah is an incredible woman who has such a talent for capturing the heart and soul of each couple in her photos. My fiancé and I have had multiple sessions with her, and each time we are blown away by the product. Not only does Hannah capture amazing photos, but she creates an environment and relationship with you that facilitates such a fun and comfortable shoot! I look forward to celebrating many more milestones with Hannah!
Hannah’s professionalism, talent and grace is unparalleled! She is an amazing person and photographer. Her work is art. I was elated knowing I could trust her vision and skills going into our special day. It was extremely important having a vendor that I was completely confident she was going to deliver. She did so and more. She exceeded my expectations. I had so many guests rave about her even before they saw the photographs!!! When I posted the sneak peaks THE DAY AFTER THE WEDDING... quite the WOW moment... my friends and family were stunned. Received comments from friends and family who were unable to attend that they had tears of joy from the photographs!!! I can’t recommend Hannah enough!!!
Where do I even begin... Hannah was such a pleasure to work with. My Fiancé and I went into our engagement shoot with Hannah feeling uncomfortable being “intimate” in front of another person and a camera. Immediately those feelings went away! Hannah has such a calming energy. The photos she took truly told OUR story and captured our relationship perfectly. Hannah is extremely talented, it was a blessing to work with her.
She fills up fast! Book her now!
Hannah did our engagement photos and wedding photos and I cant brag enough on how amazing she is to work with. She has a great eye and seemed to catch all the right shots... We LOVED LOVED LOVED working with her, she was worth every penny we spent. We were trying to find a photographer and I thought to just look on IG and loved what I saw. Once I met with her I knew she was the one, sooooo happy we picked her, her work is amazing. My biggest thing was, I just wanted to see myself get married and when you get pulled in so many directions on your wedding day and you miss so much. Its so nice to get to see the pictures of your big day. We spend so much time putting this day together and then stressing on all the little details. Well she captured all of this for us and we couldn't be more grateful to get to have the memories from this day. I highly recommend her, you wont be disappointed. Even my guest commented on how great she was.. Hannah Rocks!!!
Hannah was the photographer for our engagement and wedding, and we were ecstatic with the results. She is personable, professional, and passionate about her work.
Hannah has a friendly, approachable personality, which immediately put us at ease. We not only relied on her for her photography expertise, but she also gave us tips and insights on weddings, as she has lots of experience! She listened to what we wanted, and gave advice when needed. Wedding days tend to be stressful, but it was reassuring to have Hannah there with us. She was positive and supportive, and she will find the beauty of each moment.
On top of all these wonderful traits, she is professional and extremely hardworking. On our wedding day, she tirelessly shot photos for 10 hours straight, which included two tea ceremonies at different locations, and, of course, our main wedding ceremony and reception. She captured all the details, moments, and little things that made our wedding unique and special. As we went through the ceremonies, speeches, and all our guest interactions, she took all the photos without seeming like she was actually there - a ninja photographer. When it was all done, she was quick with getting our photos processed. We got sneak peaks within a few days and the complete albums in about 6 weeks!
We were thrilled with the results. The way she framed images and captured the light was magical. The photos are what you take away from the day and choosing Hannah for this important part of the wedding was the best decision we made.
Without reservation, we would highly recommend Hannah to all our friends, and would definitely be seeking her out for any photo sessions we need in the future.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Hannah for both our engagement photo shoot and wedding! Not only was she interested in getting to know us and have our personalities come through the pictures, but she was able to make us feel comfortable enough to be ourselves in front of the camera while capturing some great shots.
The engagement pictures were wonderful and the sneak peak of the wedding pictures equally stunning. She truly captured us. Hannah is not only a gifted photographer and professional, but it is also evident she loves doing what she does.
We will be recommending Hannah Berglund Photography to our friends and family for all their photography needs.
Ok..Where do I begin? Hannah B.. and no not the Bachelorette. This girls better. Hannah and I went to college together and have been diamond sisters for years now (shout out to all my ADPI's). I didn't really have a chance to get to know Hannah since I was just starting my college years as she was graduating.
Fast forward five years and I'm looking for a wedding photographer. Thank you to Instagram, I knew exactly who to choose. Even though some time has passed, Hannah connects with you like you've known each other for years. She has the SWEETEST soul and really gets to know you and what YOU want.
She is so on top of her communication and is there for you any time in need..especially when you're stressed out over engagement outfits and responds to the dozens of outfits you send her.. speaking for a friend ;) and the BEST part... she loves to do all of her talking with a cup of coffee or glass of wine in hand.
Hannah recommend Ravenswood Historical Park for our engagement photo session and man am I glad she did. I give her all the credit for making us look like a DREAM. She knows how to capture every angle and makes you look amazing no matter what.
Honestly, you would be mistaken not to choose Hannah to capture any life moments whether it's for your wedding, new born baby, or just sweet photos of you and your loved one hanging at home. Hannah puts her heart and soul into each and every session she does. She has such a passion for photography and that doesn't go unnoticed.
Hannah, I have no words. I can't thank you enough for capturing the love between Cole and I. I am beyond obsessed with your work and the photos that you take. I know how much I can't keep my eyes off of these photos, so I can only imagine how much I am going to LOVEEE the photos from our big day!
Well, what are you waiting for! Go book with hannahberglundphotography!
Keep it up girl! XO

Made everything feel natural. It’s not easy to look natural with forced photos, but she made it easy! Also got the photos back real fast! Highly recommended!!
If I could give 10 stars I would. Hanna is absolutely amazing. She is so wonderful to work with. Not only she knows her work well but she makes the experience so delightful. When you need to capture the most important chapter of your life she is very understanding and sweet and patient. She takes time to understand what you do and don't like. Before the session, she is always available to answer your questions ( with a great attitude ), gives you great tips and recommendations. During the session, she always has a smile on her face and it is obvious that all her focus is on your day and your photos. After the session, she delivers the project right on time ( for me it was even sooner ). Also, she sends you a sneak peek of what she has captured ( who can wait really!!!! ). And OMG the finished product is just a dream. I cried as soon as I saw my photos. She is extremely talented. And let me tell you, I did modeling for a little bit ( in my early twenties ) so I have worked with a few photographers and Hanna is THE BEST photographer I have ever worked with. I will 100% recommend Hanna for your big day, No doubt.
What can I say about Hannah! She truly was exceptional to work with. From the moment we reached out, she was welcoming, friendly, and so easy to work with. After our first conversation with her, it was obvious we wanted her to capture our wedding. Not only are her photos beautiful, she has the energy and attitude of someone you would want at your wedding. You feel an instant calmness in her presence. She is a true artist at heart, and our wedding photos are beyond what we could have asked for or expected. Hiring Hannah was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning, and we recommend her to all of our friends!
Hannah captured our day beautifully. She was really easy to work with and it was such a relief to find a photographer we were so comfortable with. I was extremely picky when it came with choosing a photographer - I searched for days before finding Hannah's page and felt an instant connection when we spoke. Our search stopped there as we knew she was who we wanted at our wedding!
I was really nervous for the engagement session but felt instantly at ease as soon as we begin shooting. She made my fiance (at the time) and I extremely comfortable and the session was actually really fun (not that we expected it to not be fun haha.... we were both just so nervous that we were scared for how it would go!). We had numerous guests compliment us for hiring her because of how delightful she was to have at the wedding. A few of our bridesmaids actually hired her to capture their wedding after working with her! I truly can't recommend her enough - Hannah is an absolute gem!
Hannah is an amazing photographer! She’s easy to work with, very creative, thinks outside the box, funny and makes the process easy and exciting. She did our engagement photos and the wedding photos and we could not be happier. I’m looking forward to working with Hannah again once I have an event I need photos for.
It was truly a blessing having Hannah share and capture the special moments of our wedding day!
I loved the fact that her package included an engagement shoot prior to the wedding. It provided the perfect opportunity to be able to meet and share the vision for our wedding ahead of time. Hannah was so attentive and connected to every detail, and during every step of our special journey - from the engagement shoot, to the wedding day, and even after - she made sure the images were exactly what I wanted.
From the moment I initially contacted her, she was so professional, kind, and easy to communicate with; she made the entire process easy and non-stressful.
She was punctual, had a fun attitude all day, and brought such a light liveliness to our photo fun.
What originally caught my attention about her work, was her ability to capture beautiful candid moments - and we absolutely loved every detail of our wedding that she caught.
She definitely delivers the quality that anyone would want for such special moments in life.
We loved her work so much, we can’t wait to have her take more family photos soon!
Hannah did more than we could have ever hoped for our wedding. She took our few photo ideas for our simple elopement and turned out work that made the event look grandiose and spectacular. Her work makes you feel like you were there in the moment, capturing the mood and telling a complete story. Working with Hannah was easy in the sense that
