About this vendor
Hi, I'm Hannah. I have 800 characters to woo you, so let's make this short and sweet. I come to your wedding with my eyes open and let the day unfold. I show up, and I pay attention. I come with no agenda besides making photos that feel like you. That make you FEEL something. I oscillate between being a fly on a wall and overly vocal about how dang cool I think you are. I've been doing this for quite some time now, so I've gotten pretty good at reading a room. I'm a big believer in there being no rules on your wedding day. If that means getting ready with your S.O., marrying on a Monday, or making sure a goat shows up at your reception, I support you and am here for it 100 percent. Or if you want to follow ALL the rules, I'm here for that too!

Hannah was absolutely fantastic! She had a wonderful way of making us feel at ease in front of the camera. Her fun personality kept everyone relaxed and smiling throughout the day, and her creative eye captured so many special moments. What impressed us most was how she balanced being professional while also feeling like a friend who was celebrating alongside us. If you're looking for a photographer who can make your wedding day both comfortable and memorable, we highly recommend her.
Oh my gosh, there are not enough words to brag about Hannah! From a phone call as an out of town bride to her easy-going and kind personality day-of wedding, she is phenomenal. She has such a great mix of editorial, fun, in the moment and also the traditional wedding photos that parents want. She even helped deal with a TON of LARGE family pictures. Truly a pro!
Hannah captured so many wonderful little details of our wedding day — memories we will cherish forever. Me, standing in front of the mirror in my wedding dress, totally awestruck. My Dad smiling (he never smiles!). The way the candles lit up the flowers on our reception tables. Our first look! We loved her candid, authentic style. Her photos are not stiff or staged. She photographed us living the magic of our wedding day. She observed and documented the small moments and big. She made sure we got all the family photo groupings, and kept me calm through all the chaos! She found all the little details at the reception: the Swiftie friendship bracelets I made for guests in a jar at the bar, the photos of my grandmother and mom on their wedding days by the cake. She was in the middle of the dance floor later that night, and the photos of the fun are epic. These photos show our real smiles and reactions to the day. They’re photos we’re hanging on our walls. I highly recommend working with Hannah as your wedding photographer. She’s a calm presence on your wedding day — she makes you forget she’s taking your photo, and the candid photos that result are so special. We will always appreciate her professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness!
Hannah is truly the best! Our experience with her was phenomenal. She was effortlessly easy to work and communicate with. She is so warm and easy-going that it feels more like hanging out with a friend than working with a photographer. Hannah's talent in capturing candid moments and inside jokes that make a couple, a couple, was remarkable. The results speak for themselves; flipping through our photos brings endless smiles and laughter. We wholeheartedly recommend her!
TLDR - hire Hannah now! Hannah Pickle was the first vendor we hired after booking our venue. I was looking at wedding photographers and knew that I didn’t want the classic/stereotypical posed photos from the day. I wanted to feel something and be transported back to the day - to feel the love, joy, and excitement that we were going to experience.
As soon as I saw Hannah’s work, I knew she was the perfect photographer for us! Cory and I are very low key and introverted people, so already having a 150 person wedding felt like a lot. On top of that, I didn’t want to feel constantly on display all day. Looking through Hannah’s portfolio - I could see all the genuine smiles, laughter, and fun being had at each wedding….it was exactly what we were looking for.
And boy did she deliver! For starters, having Hannah (and Trevor!!!) at our wedding day just felt like a best friend was tagging along and snapping shots. While we did some classic and posed photos, we kept those to a tight list, and tried to just let Hannah do her thing (which is where the magic happens y'all). Even at our wedding, guests were coming up to us saying what an incredibly cool photographer we have - how she was always getting in the party and finding the fun shots and just doing all the things to capture the essence of the experience. But at the same time…she’s so seamless and non-intrusive, and you don’t really even notice it happening!
From the time we booked our contract till the end, Hannah has been so easy and fun to work with. She really managed all the timing and locations and that gave us the space to just feel joy and love on our day. We were able to enjoy the entire experience of our wedding without missing it and being pulled away for photos and portraits. Plus we had so much fun hanging with her!
She’s an all around rockstar and if you’re looking for beautiful, fun, natural, and joyous photography…Hannah is your person.
Hannah is truly the best. I really wanted our photos to feel personal, candid, and informal and the results were even better than I could've imagined. It genuinely just looked like we were at a super fun party having the absolute best time, which is how we felt. The energy and color she's able to capture in her photos is remarkable, and I'm forever grateful. I couldn't think of a better way to document our reception and our time living in the French Quarter.
Hannah captured our wedding so authentically and beautifully. She is so insanely talented, and captured so many moments of pure joy and love on our wedding day. When we were looking for a wedding photographer, we knew that we wanted someone who would capture great photos, but more importantly, one that would capture the realness and the feelings behind those moments. We will never forget our wedding day, and how it felt, and how happy we were (are!) - and that is in large part thanks to Hannah. Our photos are everything we hoped they would be - they made us feel the feels of each moment again, which is the greatest gift. We will cherish them forever.
There aren't enough words to express how much we enjoyed working with Hannah and how much these photos mean to us. We can't recommend her enough!!
Hannah made our experience so special. She is so easy to talk to and makes the process so painless. We are not models by any sense but Hannah made us look and feel like stars! She feels like an old friend rather than your photographer, making it so much easier to be yourself. We can’t recommend her enough!
Hannah was such a nice, sweet, and helpful photographer and I’m SO glad we had her there for our wedding! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I could not have felt more happy with how everything turned out! Our photos came out looking elegant and effortlessly gorgeous thanks to her guidance. If you’re thinking of booking her, DO IT! Thank you Hannah!!
TL;DR - Hannah is effortlessly cool. Makes you feel extremely comfortable. She seems more like a friend than a vendor. Her work is amazing- beautiful/artistic/versatile and tells the full story. Hire her.
-----
I don’t know if I could say enough good things about Hannah, but I will try to focus on the highlights within the bounds of my character limit.
First of all, her work is stunning - obviously, when you’re hiring a photographer, the end result matters, and she did such a wonderful job being so thoughtful in getting to know what we were looking for from our photos, communicating about how she approaches, and making she we were a good fit for each other. She had such a great mix of finding tiny, almost imperceptibly subtle moments throughout our day that, when captured by her, became so amplified and beautiful AND finding a way to make the big moments more intimate and personal. She did a wonderful job capturing our joy and our guest's joy and gave us so many wonderful photos that our only real problem is narrowing down the list to get framed. While I think many people love their own wedding photos, I have also heard from so many others that have seen them, both that attended and did not attend, that Hannah’s pictures were some of their favorites they had ever seen. It truly feels like we can relive our wedding from start to finish, but she also did such a good job with lighting and positioning that some of them almost seem like art on their own. I can say with all my heart that you will love your pictures so much if you go with Hannah.
Secondly, while I don’t want to put additional pressure on Hannah, I know firsthand how eager people are to get their photos after their wedding. Hannah got us our photos quicker than we expected while still taking the time to edit and curate so well. She clearly works very hard to give her clients a really positive turnaround experience despite the fact that she is in very high demand and has a lot of weddings to shoot.
Finally, while the first two are probably the most tangible things to review, I really can’t overstate how much it means to have someone who is fun and puts you at ease throughout the experience. Hannah is so cool and so fun to be around, and that infectious energy that she brings bleeds into the quality of the pictures in addition to just making the day better. While she was focused on taking pictures all night, and we’re happy she was, midway through the night we just wanted her to hang out with us and be one of the guests. We felt like best friends by the end of a couple days.
I can’t recommend Hannah emphatically enough. She is so amazing at every step of the way from her communication to her photography to her editing to her follow up. She really takes the responsibility of capturing a once in a lifetime event seriously, and it shows. I’m sure there are many wonderful photographers in New Orleans, but I certainly can’t imagine that any are better than Hannah - we feel incredibly grateful that she was our photographer and can't wait to work with her again any time that we can.
We knew from our first emails with Hannah that her approach totally aligned with how we wanted our wedding day to feel. Organic, exciting, totally special, super real and not stiff or posed. She is so good at capturing the life of the moment and the joy of the experience. Our pics are gorgeous. Cannot recommend her enough!!!
Hannah perfectly captured our entire day from start to finish and our engagement photos! Really flexible, composes beautiful shots, and makes it very easy to be relaxed in front of the camera. She was able to cover multiple locations on our wedding day and rolled with the punches as hiccups came up. We have received so many compliments about our photos and it's no mystery why she's so popular in New Orleans. Couldn't recommend her more highly. She captured genuine joy, so happy we have these photos to look at for years to come!
Hannah was a dream! She was one of the first wedding vendors we booked and I’m so glad we did. We ended up doing an engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner coverage, and the wedding day and couldn’t be more in love with all of our photos and will treasure them for a lifetime. Hannah is so kind and manages to put people at ease to authentically capture moments. We got such a good range of formal portraits, detail shots, and fun candid shots, all infused with creativity, care and humor. The photo editing is perfect; classic and natural. And the entire planning process was clear and smooth. We are so grateful!
Hannah was the absolute best to work with! She made the process easy from the first point of contact all the way until we received our photos.
She captured so many amazing moments, it was like she didn't miss a single thing. Her presence was a welcomed calm in such a fast moving day, and we both felt super at ease having her there to capture our special day. We received a ton of photos and they're all absolutely breathtaking. I cannot recommend her enough!
Hannah is fantastic! We knew she was the right fit due to her beautiful portfolio and candid shots; she didn't disappoint. Hannah captured the most memorable moments of our wedding and the photos make it feel like you are reliving them. She is extremely easy to work with and she creates a lighthearted / stress free environment. I can't recommend Hannah enough, her photos are incredibly beautiful.
If you want to relive your wedding through your photos, hire Hannah now! She is the absolute best - so sweet and fun to be around, in addition to being incredibly talented. We wanted a photographer that would capture candid and raw moments without “interrupting” that moment, and Hannah did exactly that. We of course have posed shots as well and those are all amazing too! But most importantly (to us), they look natural - Hannah makes it so easy. We had done an engagement shoot with her a year before, and those photos were phenomenal. Once we saw them we knew we had chosen the right photographer for us. She has the most amazing eye for getting the perfect shot and backdrop. We are obsessed with our wedding photos and we are so so grateful we got to work with Hannah. We’d do it all over again!!
Hannah takes such incredibly natural and candid photos. She is attentive to your vision, responsive, and super kind. Above all, she was just really fun to work with. She did a phenomenal job capturing a range of pictures while being respectful and unobtrusive. My husband and I are over the moon with the memories will have from our pictures.
In my opinion, the photographer has one of the most important roles for a wedding. If you nail the dress, the decor, the venue, the food, the ceremony, but the photos are terrible (or worse, non-existent) all that hard work, money, and timeless moments are lost forever.
I say this to stress how critical I was during my wedding photographer search.
When I saw Hannah’s work, my search ended.
I met her the day of the wedding and my only direction for her was, “do your thing”. She was on it. She captured all the sweet, personal, touching moments. The perfect angles. The best expressions. The dancing!
Hannah is truly incredible. Looking at our photos takes me right back to the feelings, the love, the butterflies, and the fun of our special day. I can’t say enough how amazing it was getting the opportunity to work with a photographer like Hannah!
Hannah was so easy to talk to and work with! We had a great time with the posed photos, but the candids were really what sold us on her when we were looking for photographers. We got our gallery back a couple weeks ago, and we're so so happy with how these pictures came out! She really captured the spirit of the event. Thanks, Hannah :)
The minute we started wedding planning, we knew that our dream was to work with Hannah. We can both confidently say that working with Hannah is literally a dream - she is the BEST. She is incredibly thoughtful and genuine, and takes the time to get to know both you and your partner. Both Hannah and her assistant, Trevor’s presence during our photoshoot and throughout the wedding made us so comfortable and the results are PERFECTION. Truly everyone who attended our wedding gushes about how amazing her style is and we wish we could work with her again and again. We can’t thank you enough, Hannah!
I want to shout from the rooftops how incredible Hannah was as our wedding photographer. She immediately set us at ease and made the whole process fun and enjoyable. The little moments she captured of the venue, our families, and all of the special moments you normally wouldn’t think of were the best surprise.
Hannah was incredible. Her photos of our wedding were STUNNING. Magazine quality. She captured it so beautifully... The portraits were natural yet she captured the vibe. Then the candids of the reception were SO fun. At the wedding, she was such a great energy to be around. Even though we just met, we felt so comfortable around her. And I am not one that likes getting my picture taken. But we actually had so much fun doing portraits with her Everyone in the wedding enjoyed her. Then, she got the pictures back to us SO quickly. The quickest I have ever seen someone get their photos back. I can't recommend her enough. If you want your wedding photos to be natural, fun, vibey, and stunning, Hannah is your photographer. Her talent is evident. She will deliver you photos that are timeless and just feel like you. She is the best. Can't say enough about her talent!!!
Hannah is an absolute pro and is so great to work with! I highly recommend working with her. She was super flexible and accommodating as our timeline continued to evolve. She has a really great eye for the special moments (big and small) and perfectly delivered on our request for more of the candid, unique moments. There isn't enough wall space to hang all the amazing photos she took, thank you Hannah!
When looking for a wedding photographer, we were drawn to Hannahs’ overall look, feel, and style of her photos. We loved how so many of them were unstaged, and that they really captured the energy of each individual wedding. And when we got our photos back, boy oh boy were we so overjoyed with them! She was everywhere yet felt like she was no where at the same time - capturing so many amazing moments when we didn’t even know she was there! She also helped make sure we got all of the family and friends photos, and photos of the two of us. We can’t rave about Hannah any more!
First and foremost, we couldn't be happier!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Hannah!!!
We keep reliving the day through our Photographs, turned album and so many beautiful pieces in our home!
We're beyond happy to have had Hannah with us throughout the day, so attentive, down to earth and just all around fantastic! Hannah dealt with me with such grace and ease and the day got a little hectic and immediately put my mind at peace.
A+++++++++
Hannah was such a delight! Our wedding photos are beautiful - I cannot recommend her enough!! Her portfolio really stood out to us and I just knew we had to have her be a part of our wedding. I loved that she got such awesome in-the-moment shots as well as really nice posed photos -- especially because my husband and I are awful at posing for photos and we much rather candid. Due to covid, we rescheduled our wedding date 3 times and Hannah was so patient and understanding each time. The day of the wedding, she effortlessly floated around working her magic. We didn't do a first look and took photos after the ceremony and Hannah was quick and precise - it was painless. If you're considering Hannah, just do it!!!
Hannah is hands-down the BEST. We received our photos super quickly and are blown away. Before our wedding, everyone told us how the night would fly by. Thanks to Hannah, we are able to relive the night through her photos. She beautifully and naturally captured our wedding, catching all the intimate moments and details we missed during the fast-paced night. Her style is raw, candid and artistic. No lame poses. No Pinterest photo check-list. She captures the night as it happens. You can feel the atmosphere and emotion in her photos. Many guests referred to her as a 'ninja' because she was literally all over the place without being intrusive or 'in the way' at all. Not to mention, she's cool as a cucumber and makes YOU feel comfortable. I am a photographer and am certainly prefer being behind the lens, but she made me (and everyone else) feel at total ease. I know this is easier said than done, but if/when you hire Hannah, RELAX and TRUST HER. Just let the woman do her job because man, she knows what she's doing. Hannah, we can't thank you enough. Can't wait for an excuse to hire you again!
Hannah was the best! Super easy to work with and blended into our family of spirited personalities perfectly. The portfolio of pictures we received were beyond my expectations! So grateful to have such beautiful memories of photographs for our keepsake.
Hannah was absolutely amazing!! I loved her style from the moment I saw her site and was dying to have her shoot our little micro ceremony in the woods for her dreamy, moody quality. She was able to make a perfect package for us! During the day of the ceremony, she had a wonderful, unobtrusive approach to the photojournalistic parts and guided us as needed during the portraits to make them fun and believable even though we are stiff and unaccustomed to having our photos taken! She delivered the photos to us at lightening speed because she knew some of our loved ones couldn't be there due to the virus. The images were absolutely stunning. I can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Hannah!
Hannah was absolutely the most kind and understanding when we rescheduled our wedding. She was so easy to work with- streamlined communication, flexible, professional, and easy going. We think her photos speak for themselves. She captured every emotion perfectly (there were a lot that day). We love all of the candid photos. Would 1000% recommend Hannah!
After having to reschedule our July 2020 wedding, Hannah and David were the vendors we would have moved our date around a million times to accommodate. They were that important to us. If you’ve seen any of Hannah’s work then it’s not necessary for me to elaborate on her talent. We spent weeks searching for a photographer and no one—yall, no one—captures what she can. It’s not even about editing skills (though hers are also unmatched). We wanted someone who captured moments. While we love looking back at our posed pictures, the hundreds of candids in our gallery are the ones that call us to relive our wedding day as truly was. That’s why we had to have Hannah for our wedding, rehearsal dinner, engagement photos, change the dates, and bridal shower. She captured our entire wedding season. And without a doubt we’ll use her for important life events in the future, as well as recommend her to you for yours.
Beyond their skills, Hannah and David are wonderful humans. Our communication was always easy. Hannah was so accommodating in rescheduling. She graciously offered us to pay whatever we could towards a change the date session because of the pandemic. Early on when we were trying to book a band, Hannah asked around to other vendors and got a general insider-knowledge consensus for us (D-Play and Funky Monkeys!) which was a perspective we couldn’t get from simply reading online reviews. Any time we asked a question, like her recommendations for what to include in detail shots, we got paragraphs back with her thoughtful expertise. These valuable bits are what you get with Hannah. Not sure if she’s taking applications for new friends or just new clients, but again, we think the very highest of her and David as artists and a human beings. If you follow them on social media, you’ll quickly see their love for their friends, family, and the world we're all trying to navigate in 2020.
Hannah was such a great choice for our wedding day! I found her on Instagram and instantly loved her work and her aesthetic. Her pricing was reasonable and she was so helpful leading up to the wedding day itself. She captured the joy and excitement perfectly. There are so many moments that we missed during the ceremony and reception, but she preserved all of them for us and we are so grateful. We highly recommend Hannah for your big day!
Hannah was such a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. We were very relaxed from the beginning and she did a great job giving us instructions on how to pose as well as just letting us be ourselves. There are so many great shots from our elopement day that it's hard to pick a favorite. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Having Hannah Pickle as our elopement photographer was the best decision we ever made! From the first picture we saw of hers we were in love with the authenticity of the couple and we wanted that for ourselves. We just got our pictures back from our Halloween wedding and we are in awe of the magic she captured. She’s worth every penny and more! You’d be crazy not to have her capture your special day.
Everyone was so happy with the photos! Hannah gives you a ton of photos and captures the scenery and candid moments beautifully. She was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend her!
If I could give Hannah 10 stars I would. Save yourself the time and just go ahead and book her. Seriously!! She was my absolute favorite vendor and I haven't even gotten all of our pictures back. The sneak peeks were enough to get me excited to leave a review for her.
From her very first email to me, she was genuine, attentive and organized. I put my complete trust in her and she OVERdelivered. She worked so well with our videographer (Jeff Bush Videography) and took charge without ever coming off demanding or stressful. She made us feel so comfortable and just allowed us to be present with the day.
Her style is creative and she gets candid shots that represent you, instead of the usual staged boring wedding photos you always see.
I would hire her 100x over and am already thinking of ways to get her back down here! THANK YOU HANNAH!!!!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Not only was Hannah such a cool, calm and collected presence on our wedding day—she 100% understood the vibe we were going for and the results were amazing. We ended up with *SO* many photos that we're absolutely in love with—both the staged, more formal portraits as well as the super fun, candid party pictures (I rarely, rarely, rarely have come across photographers who can do both so well and effortlessly). Our only issue with Hannah is we have too many pictures we want to frame, use in our albums, share with our friends, etc. etc. Total rockstar—could not recommend more.
Hannah did a beautiful job with our wedding. I highly recommend her. She flew into Charleston just 36 hours after a hurricane, after multiple flight reschedules/cancellation. She was an absolute trooper. Our photos were also stunning. Even my husband who typically hates taking photos was happy to cooperate (also because she works so quickly!). She captured the best candids and pictures of our families and friends just enjoying themselves. She also sent us our photos right on time and we were overjoyed to have them forever.
There are no words to explain how stunning Hannah’s photos were. Hannah perfectly captured the night. Her candids were simply incredible, she captured everything we love about our family and friends. Hannah was fun and easy to work with! She somehow got pictures of everyone and thing without being overly intrusive. SO MUCH LOVE HANNAH!
Hannah and her work were worth every penny. When researching photographers I was so drawn to her ability to capture the “special moments” (a private look, a head thrown back laugh) and emotions of the day. She was very patient in answering all of my questions (even some wedding questions that may not have been relevant to the photography!).. what time of day should the ceremony be for the best light in the area, should we do a first look, and my type A timeline questions. She was very professional, especially in her ability to, when asked, give you her opinion while still ensuring things are really the way you would like them to be. She was a very easy presence and effortlessly and without stress orchestrated any needed pictures that required instruction or coordination. We received our album so quickly and the quality was excellent. Looking through the album truly captured all of the emotions of the day and took us right back. I really underestimated the value our photos would have to me prior to the wedding, but to have all of that hard work, time, love, joy, exuberance, etc captured and documented is priceless. We did go with the second photographer option and were very glad we did, there are some really lovely photos captured of our friends and loved ones during the cocktail hour that are precious to us. And I think our wedding was quite fun, but I can’t say enough about the way Hannah captured the smiles and the laughter making it look the best damn party of 2019!
The worst part of my experience has been trying to narrow down which of the amazing pictures to put in my album! Haha. But Hannah has been very helpful even through this, each step of the way!
Thank you Hannah for being apart of Austin and my wedding! From day one, when we were communicating via email, you have been supportive, educational, patient, and beyond excited. You made every step of getting all the details down seem easy and stress free. When we had to change our dressing location last minute, you had no issues. You made Austin and myself feel so comfortable taking photos and OH MY GOD did they turn out beyond beautiful! You truly know how to capture the moments. New Orleans brides and beyond, Hannah is your girl. She is a true gem in the photography world. Thank you again so much, Hanmah! Hopefully we can work with you again!
I wanted to leave a review right away to tell how you much we love Hannah Pickle but I figured we should probably wait until we got our photos back so I could ALSO tell you how awesome they were.
We love Hannah and our photos are awesome! We highly recommend her! She is an extremely talented photographer and we are so thankful to have been able to work with her. She was just so easy to be around. My *husband* and I are not very photogenic but she was able to capture the "real" us because she just made us feel super comfortable. We had both our engagement and wedding photos done with Hannah and they are everything that we wanted. I really wanted someone who could capture the moment and she was able to do that. I can look at our photos and it's like she was able to stop time with each one. I have to admit, I cried a little when I first saw them because I loved them so much! Another thing I loved when looking back is that the entire day of our wedding wasn't revolved around stopping and posing for photos, which is often the case at weddings. We were able to truly enjoy the day and she was there to capture it all without us even noticing. Thank you again, Hannah Pickle! Can't wait to find an excuse for a photo session with you!
I can't recommend Hannah enough. I wasn't sure what I was looking for in a wedding photographer, but as soon as stumbled upon Hannah's page on Instagram, I knew I wanted her to be our photographer. I told her I didn't want our photos to be too posed or planned, and that's exactly her style. She captures the real life moments and emotion of the day. A few weeks later we have the photos in hand, and they have blown me away. I knew they'd be amazing, but they have truly exceeded my expectations! Thank you, Hannah!
If you're thinking of booking Hannah for your wedding, do not hesitate and book her right away! Hiring Hannah as a photographer for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made. I was blown away by the quality of her work. She also exceeded my expectations in every possible way! While researching photographers, I was struck by Hannah's ability to capture amazing candid moments in her work. I learned from my personal experience that she also has this amazing ability to capture tenderness in her shots. There were lots of tender moments at my wedding (some small, some big) and she was able to capture every one of them. Everyone whom I showed my photos to were really blown away by her work. Hannah also goes out of her way for her clients- I was having issues with the color of one of the bridesmaids dresses and she went and got the color muted so they would blend in better with the other dresses. She knew how much this would mean to me and I am grateful she went the extra mile. I received my photos a few days ago (she also works fast and sent them just 3 weeks after my wedding) and I can't stop looking at them. Hiring the right photographer for your wedding is so important and I am so glad I hired Hannah.
Hannah was an absolute dream to work with, she is kind and thoughtful and takes the time to really get to know you and your partner. The day of the wedding she was calm and somehow seemed to be everywhere at once yet completely blended in - I don’t know how she did it! And the photos.....she got them back to us so quickly and they are breathtaking. She captured the exact aesthetic I was hoping for and gave us so many candids that make me feel like I’m living the day over and over looking at them. So many people have said they’re some of the most beautiful wedding photos they’ve ever seen. She was on of the BEST decisions we made for the wedding, do not hesitate to book her if she’s available for your wedding date!
These are the photos we dreamed of!!! They are wonderful pieces for remembering this unique happy day. Hannah is an absolute pro and worth every single cent. We say Thanx again and again...
Hannah and her assistance were absolutely fantastic! Prompt, professional, and an absolute delight to work with. We really wanted a photographer who could capture some great candids, because my husband and I both hate to pose for pictures. She not only got some incredible shots, but created a since of ease and belonging. As a result, our wedding photos were the perfect reflection of our guests at their most comfortable - she truly captured all the love an joy that our big day contained.
Hannah was easy to communicate with, on time and flexible for our wedding day plan, and most importantly AMAZING AT PHOTOGRAPHY. She takes the most beautiful candid and genuine photographs. My husband and I did not do engagement photos and are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but she took all of our awkwardness and made gorgeous memories for us. I would hire her again in a second.
Wow, where do I start!? I spent WEEKS of my life looking for a wedding photographer. As soon as I discovered one single image of Hannah's on a wedding planner's website, I was totally smitten, knew there was no other photographer for me and practically begged her to shoot my wedding. Hannah's magic is that she goes beyond capturing beautiful images of your friends and family and captures so much JOY as well as the moments of quiet emotion that pass in an instant, those moments that really make your wedding day so special, not just beautiful. This is where Hannah truly shows her value, and it is an extremely rare skill. I honestly don't know how she managed to do it when I hardly even realized she was there throughout the day! (Which was really important to me, I am so nervous in front of a camera and Hannah really eased my anxiety.) We got tons of comments from the guests about how cool but also unobtrusive she was. Also, I'm pretty sure Hannah made my wedding look like more fun than it actually was. How does she do that??
TL;DR: Hannah is a true artist and her exceptional skill makes her a relative bargain. From beginning to end, she is the consummate professional and she got our images to us long before we expected to receive them. You will absolutely not regret booking her, there is no one like Hannah!
Hannah is an exceptional photographer, super responsive and reasonably priced considering the product you get. I hired her because I loved her natural style of catching people in the moment and she did NOT disappoint. My pictures came out stunning even though my groom and I had a major hiccup just 24 hours before the ceremony. Would hire her again in a HEARTBEAT.
Ok, so, let’s talk about Hannah. You guys, don’t even hesitate hiring her. This woman is an absolute DREAM. My husband and I were drawn to her elegant, unique, effortlessly creative style of photography and how everyone she photographed seemed to exude this sense of true, honest, self that I couldn’t find in any other photographers work. She truly captures “you doing you.” While I know we needed to do some posed photos, I always pictured my wedding photos being candid and authentic. She completely crushed it on both fronts. The posed photos felt natural instead of forced and stoic. The candid photos, I mean, I truly don’t have words to describe those. Out of this world? The most beautiful things I’ve ever laid eyes on? All of the above. Every shot is pure gold. Aside from her insane talent, she is a true delight to be around. I immediately felt like we had known each other for years even though we had met the day of the wedding. She is calm, cool and collected. She was the ultimate hype girl, making us laugh and cry the happiest of tears, feeling all the feels. During the wedding, I had family, friends and other vendors telling me how much they enjoyed her presence and what a phenomenal job she was doing. At one point, she had left for the evening, but a few minutes later, I heard people jumping in the pool, and there was Hannah. She had snuck back in through a side door when she heard the splashing, knowing she had to capture that moment. Just one example of dozens of how she went above and beyond to not only capture the most magical day of our lives in the way we always dreamed, but to also make it hard for us to say goodbye to her at the end of the night.
Hannah was great to work with and the pictures turned out great. Very friendly but also professional and made people feel at ease for some great candid photos.
Let me start off by saying the wedding pictures are AMAZING!
Hannah captured the day perfectly. We flew down to New Orleans with our 6 best friends and Hannah was an amazing addition to our group. She felt like a friend with a camera. If you're a little camera shy or you think "I don't take good pictures" rest assured she's got you covered. Honestly I'm a little obsessed with Hannah Pickle.
We would recommend Hannah to all of you considering using her. Total Class act!
We love you Hannah!

I can’t say enough about Hannah and her work. I believe she is best described as an amazing super artistic photographer wizard genius. She was professional but so warm, and fit in right away while capturing our champagne fueled wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a brilliant, reasonable, and incredibly professional photographer!
Hannah was the most perfect wedding photographer. She is so laid back and easy to work with. Hannah and her team made sure we felt comfortable and at ease throughout the entire day. She really does a wonderful job capturing moments and not just pictures. I am so happy that our wedding planner (Brooke Casey) recommended her to us. We would recommend Hannah 1000 times over!
Hannah's online portfolio immediately drew us to her, and we knew we wanted her for our prohibition-era themed New Orleans wedding. Come to find out, she had photographed several friends' weddings we had been to (and we had adored their photo galleries). She is the epitome of professionalism, and Hannah is the perfect balance of laid back and on top of it. She's easy to be around, patient, and you can tell she has quiet yet deep knowledge about photography. She's completely born to do this. Once the festivities began, we hardly noticed she was there -- she's ethereal. We got our photos in an extremely timely fashion and were honestly floored. We knew she was fantastic, but she managed to capture the essence and soul of moments, and not just snapshots. I notice I am beaming and that my heart is swelling every time I go back to look at our photos. As a side note, one of our other vendors was what I would call a bit of a bully to her, trying to tell her how to do her job, and Hannah was SO. COMPOSED. Like it wasn't even happening. Even after the fact, she remained completely pleasant about it when I was practically asking her to kvetch about it with me. If we ever need another photographer for a major life event, we will definitely be calling Hannah again. I see a friend in her now, too. <3 Thanks, girl!
Where to even start!
Hannah was extremely communicative from the first time I reached out to her to the weeks after the wedding -- she has a wonderful low-key and professional demeanor that left me at ease, and she left no question unanswered (even ones about whether or not I *really* needed fake eyelashes).
On the day of the wedding she was timely, calm, flexible, and everything you could ask for in a wedding vendor. I oscillated between being so comfortable with her presence I had no idea she was there, to be overwhelming thankful she was herding my family members, capturing absurd dance moves, and helping me not look totally awkward in portraits. Additionally, I got so many compliments on Hannah's presence from friends and family, I know I wasn't the only one that felt that way.
And THE PHOTOS. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful work. I can't even. Hannah did the most amazing job capturing the emotion of the day, the laughter, the friends and family, the things I don't even remember -- and when I look through what she captured, I feel like I'm reliving the entire day. What a freaking amazing storyteller, I'm so thankful she was a part of our wedding! Literally nothing but good things to say about this talented woman, she's a pro.
I was initially drawn to Hannah's very elegant, editorial style and I couldn't be happier with how our wedding photos turned out. They are catalog-worthy! She was very professional to work with and I would use her again 100 times over. I would definitely recommend her to all of my friends!
Hannah was the model of calm and collected all day which made me feel completely at ease. She somehow caught every great moment while seemingly being invisible. I think her editing style is to make you feel like you were actually there. The lighting, the color — nothing feels unnatural or fussed with. It doesn’t look “trendy” or “filtered”, it looks REAL. Hannah is a true documentarian.
Hannah was great to have at our wedding. She was extremely friendly, professional, and of course took great photos and delivered them in a timely manner. Some of the bridal party came up to us later and expressed how much they loved having Hannah around. Most important though, she kept us calm!
Also, she's a total ninja, barely noticed her most of the day, but she captured everything we wanted and then some. She was our top pick of 50 photographers from around the country and she didn't disappoint.
Hannah and her second shooter, Allie, were total pros, but most wedding photographers will be. What we loved about them was their ability to perfectly walk the line between allowing moments to unfold on their own and capture them discreetly, and engaging with us in hilarious ways to get us to loosen up and shake off the nerves. You almost certainly WILL be put into situations that are goofy and awkward with wedding photographers (let's face it, posed photos always are!) but Hannah and Allie got us to embrace the goofiness of it, got us laughing at ourselves, and got us to focus on each other instead of the camera. Admittedly, I was anxious about the whole process, but felt as comfortable as I possibly could have been. I actually had fun! Our wedding day was full of moments I'll remember for the rest of my life; Hannah and Allie were there to make sure I remember them accurately, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks, Hannah!
I had the pleasure of spending 4 days with Hannah while she photographed my wedding in Santorini, Greece. My entire wedding was truly a dream come true but, I Hannah was the best money we spent! I told her that I was more interested in candid shots than the typical staged "shot list" of wedding photos and boy, did she deliver! Not only did she capture great shots of my husband and myself but of all of my guests. My wedding was nearly a year ago and I still find myself looking back through my pictures when I'm bored. BONUS: Outside of being really talented at her profession, she is also a great personality and a joy to be around. I had never met Hannah until we all arrived in Greece and she managed to fit in with my crazy friends and family right away. She is kind, fun, and very hard working. She photographed 3 different events for me over the course of 4 days and she never stopped snapping shots! Her vibe is very relaxed and she helped keep me calm during all the wedding craziness. If you are still reading to the end of this lengthy review, I'm sure you can tell that I am a little obsessed with Hannah and I think anyone would be crazy to hire anyone else to photograph their big day!
My first time having Hannah on board for a wedding was this past April at The Ace Hotel New Orleans. I couldn't be more pleased with Hannah's discretion and professionalism from start to finish. Being that it was a celebrity wedding, a lot of time, you have to deal with outside people who want to hop in the mix. We had a few, but nothing broke Hannah's work mode. On top of that, the photos came back in a timely manner and were picture perfect. I can't wait to work with her again
A good photographer was high on my list - and Hannah delivered just that and more! She was easy to work with, professional and creative! She made me feel like a super model on my big day, which made taking photos fun and effortless! I got so many awesome "candid" type photos while also getting beautiful portraits! In the end, I have too many amazing photos to choose from! I would recommend her in a heart beat and can not wait for an opportunity to work with her again!
Book Hannah now - stop looking else where and DO. IT. NOW.
From the very start of our wedding planning, we knew there was one vendor that we had to have - Hannah. Forget the food, the venue, the flowers - none of it matters if you cannot look back on it fondly. Our confidence in Hannah ended up being well placed.
We could not be happier with how our pictures turned out. In addition, Hannah was so sweet and accommodating. Her approach is light on staged photos and heavy on capturing the real moments in the wedding. She even got injured during a dance floor mishap but was right back in the game!
Thanks so much, Hannah! We look at our photos all the time and they somehow make it seem even better than it was! And it was great!
I am so so glad that Hannah was our wedding photographer. She was reliable, laid back and fun to work with. She produced a very high quality photo gallery for us - she perfectly captured the mood of the day as well as some funny moments that I will cherish forever. She has a great eye! Her assistant was also great. I highly recommend her!
We loved the way our pictures turned out. Hannah takes lots of amazing candids and really captures the personality of the guests and couple. The pictures from our reception are some of the best I've seen!
Hannah's vibe is beautifully cheerful and relaxed, and her talent as a photographer is pronounced. Discussing visions beforehand, we quickly discovered we were aligned, and on the day she made the exact magic I hired her for! She moved around my friends and family with ease and discretion, spotting and capturing moments I was too tied up to spy, and at the end of the day we couldn't let her go so we took her to dinner with our guests. The photos were all ready well before they needed to be and her edits are as gorgeous as I imagined.
