Hannah Hardaway Photography

and everything turned out amazing! We could not have asked for a better photographer! She was so easy and knowledgeable about the locations and we were so comfortable. She really was like family towards the end of our special day. We can’t thank her enough, our pictures are amazing!

to step away to let Brad and I have a moment together. Somehow, she was even able to capture those special moments between Brad and I without us knowing she was there. My husband and I were speechless when we saw our pictures from the wedding. The natural beauty of her photos and the way she was able to capture our unedited emotions of the day was remarkable. We couldn’t be more pleased.

h helped me make a timeline for my wedding schedule and made everything so easy by quickly sending me the contract, shot lists, and laying out all plans and expectations. Of course plans change when you have a winter wedding in Jackson Hole, and because of the extreme weather (17" of snow the morning of our wedding) we had to rearrange some things and decide how to use our time to get the best photos. Hannah was so willing for anything and was tromping around in over a foot of snow to get the perfect shots. The conditions were definitely not easy to shoot in (it was basically a white-out) yet somehow she captured the most beautiful photos that I will treasure forever.I will never forget Hannah, my husband, and I running around in the snow, freezing, and laughing trying to get the shots. It was so fun :) I loved her creative style and how she really captured all of the best candid moments, which was what I was looking for, the posed family photos were gorgeous too, but I feel like she really understood what we were looking for and captured all of the natural beauty in the snow storm and made us look good :) I wouldn't change a thing, I am so happy with all of my photos. Not only is Hannah extremely talented as a photographer, but she is just a wonderful soul, and I am so happy she was at my wedding, I couldn't imagine it any other way, her personality and style were perfect for us. I absolutely love the wooden box of photos that came with my package. such a cool unique alternative to a photobook. I can't thank her enough and I wouldn't change anything. We were featured in Rocky Mountain Bride 2016--the photos speak for themselves!

owing much about photography myself, I was very impressed how she managed to capture the spirit of the event—both the joy and exhilaration of the celebration, as well as the small and quiet moments behind the scenes. This takes a sensitive and well-trained eye, and somehow she accomplished it while putting everyone at ease with her subtle and kind demeanor. One thing that I hadn’t anticipated was how she captured all kinds of interactions and moments that my wife and I hadn’t been around for, or hadn't remembered—flipping through the photos later ended up giving us a new and even richer perspective on the day. The whole thing zipped by in a heartbeat, and we’re so grateful that Hannah was there to document it. We’ll treasure the photos that she took for our whole lives.

y day and Hannah adeptly moved to different locations throughout the afternoon and evening to catch the action, including the drama during the ceremony when the script was rescued after blowing off of the terrace where the wedding was taking place. Hannah manages to keep the main subject(s) in focus in each picture. Part of what makes her work excellent is that she judiciously takes the time to thoughtfully convert certain images to black and white to draw attention to the subject or emotion of the image or when the image is better presented in black and white due to unflattering lighting in some of the situations that are unavoidable throughout the day. In any rating system, Hannah earns the highest score.

s in Hannah's direction. After looking through her portfolio and chatting with her over the phone it was a no-brainer. Her photos speak to her talent! I truly cannot pick a favorite of all of the images from the wedding! There are some that I love because it captures the perfect moment and others are stunning because of her skill with lighting and eye for the best angle. Not only is her photography style unique and amazing but she, as the person behind the camera, makes the experience so wonderful! She is down to earth, gracious, FUN and at the same time professional and determined to capture the day in the best way she possibly can. The day after the wedding our guests even spoke about how fun and great the photographer was! I think her approachable personality allows her to integrate with the bride and groom as well as their families and guests so that everyone feels comfortable! The more comfortable people are, the more natural and candid the photos appear - so even the posed portraits feel fresh and look beautiful! You were wonderful Hannah! Thank you for capturing our day - we will cherish the photos forever!

e looking for the perfect person to shoot your wedding you have found her.

eographic; we found each other mostly due to that shared passion. As such, we hoped to find a photographer who could capture our wedding with a sort of travel/documentary style. Initially, we didn't think such a thing would be possible. But as it turns out, we found Hannah's work through Google and we immediately knew that she was the only option for us. (And of course, it helps that her work has been published in Nat Geo!) We scheduled a meet-and-greet in preparation for our September wedding. We had already been perusing her work for weeks before and there was never really any doubt that she was the only one for the job -- as a matter of fact, we didn't even bother to pursue other photographers. We finally met up with her in a little tea shop in downtown Jackson in late January, and we were sold from the second she walked through the door. She came impeccably prepared with binder after binder of sample photography from previous weddings and from her travels throughout the world, and it was immediately obvious that both her personality and her professional experience were simply perfect. Oh, and as it turns out, she was a former Olympic skier. Seriously. But that was just icing on the cake -- we booked her as soon as we returned home, and that was that. Throughout the rest of the year until our wedding, she routinely touched base to get our input and to ensure that everything was proceeding accordingly. Throughout those discussions and planning, she never skipped a beat and there were zero issues whatsoever. As the day of our wedding finally arrived, things could not have gone smoother. From beginning to end, Hannah was cool as a cucumber and, quite frankly, we wish she could have simply been a guest so she could have hung out with us all day. Things could not have gone smoother. She's astonishingly laid-back, and her humor and personality were a huge part of our enjoyment that day. As we soon found out, she captured our wedding above and beyond even our wildest dreams. We had a small number of shots that we were specifically looking for but for the most part we wanted her to dictate the vast majority of wedding shots -- and I think that was possibly the best decision we made. So here we sit, almost three years later, still marveling at Hannah's contribution to our wedding. Every single shot was captivating and her work perfectly reflected our own personal style. If we had it to do over again, there is NOTHING that we would change. There's no hyperbole when I say things could not have gone better, and that, to this day, we're still absolutely thrilled with how well she documented our wedding. We were enamored with her personality and creative vision from day one, and working with her was simply a sublime experience! I cannot underestimate how appreciative we are to her!

were originally doing only our engagement photos with her, but we quickly decided that she just had to be our wedding photographer in California, as well. She cared as much about our wedding as we did! She was thoughtful, a fantastic listener to our requests, offered such great ideas and suggestions, and willing to go the extra mile. Her email correspondence is so helpful. Everything is laid out and easy to understand. I honestly can't say enough great things about her. Her photos were all we hoped for and more. We loved all of her personal touches, and could not be happier with our entire experience.

, which was perfect for us. She took the most amazing candid photos of the wedding, and was completely unobtrusive in doing so. I have had so many people compliment me on the photos and tell me I must have had a very special wedding photographer, and I would agree! Cannot recommend her enough.

id and personal than the typical posed shots you often see for weddings, resulting in much more intimate and artful photos. Not only is Hannah very talented, but she is also extremely personable, very professional, and her rates are more than fair, especially considering her location in Jackson, Wyoming, where the cost of many services tend to be inflated due to the wealthier clientele base. She made us feel very comfortable right away as well so we weren't so stiff or awkward during the shoot as we might have been with someone less friendly. She is a delightful person! Hannah went out of her way to shoot our elopement...our ceremony location was not particularly close or easy to get to...and we were so grateful to find someone willing to do what she could to capture our special day. We loved Hannah's work so much that we hired her to shoot our newborn photos as well. We just got them back and they are incredibly sweet and lovely!

had a destination wedding, and Hannah was very helpful when I had questions during the planning process. Working with her on my wedding day was a great experience...we worked out a timeline a few weeks before and everything was very smooth. I found Hannah to be very organized and prepared. She takes real pictures and captured a lot of neat moments. I highly recommend Hannah for wedding photography.

icipated in. It made getting to our reception fast! We've have countless compliments on our photos and about her professionalism during the day! I really felt like she prioritized our feelings about how to capture the day. We asked for her to capture the laughter of our day to remember how our friends and family looked as they enjoyed the party- and I smile just thinking about them. She did an extraordinary job and I'd recommend her without reservation! She's the best!

posed photos. She did an amazing job of capturing personality, silliness, and wedding fun! I didn't want a ton of portrait/posed photos but ended up extremely happy with all of them - she managed to make my husband and I not look awkward, which is not an easy task ;) I definitely recommend Hannah for any event photography. She was great before, during, and after the wedding.
