Do I recommend Hannah as a photographer? 100%!!! I already have for family and here I am recommending her to YOU. Here's my top reasons:
First, the price. There is a lot of pressure on staying within the budget for a wedding day, and Hannah's ...prices are easily worth it. I did hours and hours of research trying to find a photographer, and Hannah was easily the lowest for someone with experience and quality she has.
Second, the style. I wanted my wedding photos to be light and bright, but I was worried that if I chose Hannah that they'd come out too light and airy based on her Instagram. We discussed my concerns (tip - take advantage of this, have a consultation with her!), and she definitely came through for us. I also asked to see an entire gallery of her work and it helped my confidence in choosing her. The results of our day is the perfect style/coloring/editing that I wanted! If you want a moody, dark style, maybe keep searching, but if you want it bright and true to color, Hannah is your girl.
Third, natural fun. I won't lie about my experience, at one point I was worried Hannah was ghosting me because it took a while to hear back (maybe a week? longer?), but really she's a mom and has a life and I was being an overly worried wedding planner. It was the day of our engagement photos and I was worried we hadn't communicated enough on the plans. I quickly learned that my worries were a waste of energy. Engagement photos were a BLAST. It felt like a fun date. My husband, fiancé at the time, is not one who is eager for photo shoots, but I think he enjoyed it just as much if not more than me! Hannah made us feel so comfortable, and even more lovey-dovey for how she was pumping us up with encouragement and affirmation. She had poses for us, but was easily down for my own suggestions. I was recovering from a hip replacement during the time and was walking slower, and Hannah, without me asking, so kindly extended the hour to ensure we had the photos we wanted for our engagement. With this, -1 point for not responding within 48 hours (my professional timeline?), +5 points for her attitude and genuine soul. Honestly, I'd love to have another fun photo date using Hannah as our photographer because of the sweet memories the night brought and for some of my all time favorite photos I'll have for life!!!
Overall, I wouldn't think twice about choosing her again if I had a do-over. I could give even more reasons why she was so great - totally there for me as a bride on my wedding day, delivering the photos on a quick turnaround timeline, handling large shots with our huge family without stress, working so well with my other vendors, and pumping up the bridal party, especially us the bride and groom, with joy.
I give Hannah Roberts Photography 5 stars confidently.
