As we were looking for wedding photographers for our special day, our planner recommended several photographers for us to choose. We met with multiple photographers and ultimately ...decided to continue with Hannah Charis - it was the best decision that we made and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for photography services! From the first meeting with her at her sweet professional home studio, we were impressed with her work and her interactions with us. She was very organized and thorough - even providing us with her own professional magazine to take home explaining all the details we needed to alleviate any nerves that we had during the entire process. We scheduled an engagement session with her as well and she guided us through location suggestions and best times to be able to capture our best shots. We were initially nervous and worried for our session since we hadn't had any experience in photo sessions, posing, or making sure that we didn't look awkward or blink too many times during snapshots. During the session, Hannah made it very seamless, fun, and stress-free. She was extremely patient and clearly guided us with how to pose, where to place our hands/feet, and what areas would be best. She even brought a pop-up tent for our outfit change space since she knew there would not be a restroom nearby to change - these are things that we wouldn't even have considered. Hannah was conscious within the time allocated and made sure all the shots we wanted were captured. We received our photos within the promised time, if not much earlier than we had expected. We were truly amazed at all the pictures and couldn't wait to see what she could do for our wedding day!
Fast forward to wedding day - her assistant was also very helpful as well, making sure to capture all the shots from all angles and areas. Hannah was able to capture the getting ready shots with the dress, veil, and accessories, and even our family first looks, given the limited time that we had. She was very patient and calm throughout the entire day and that definitely helped lots. She and her assistant were efficient and fast movers but did not make us feel rushed. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, entertainment, and reception were all captured beautifully. We appreciated how we were provided a sneak preview slideshow in the middle of our reception with some of the pictures that we took during the day! After seeing these, we were even more anxious and excited to see all of our pictures. We knew they would turn out great! We absolutely loved our photo dash to every table and Hannah did wonderful capturing all the speedy movements - we highly recommend couples to do this as a fun activity to be able to capture all the guests. Our wedding day was perfect and we owe it all to our planner and Hannah's photography team.
Hannah gave us the best 1-month anniversary present - all of our photos were ready earlier than we expected! It was the absolute BEST and till this day we have continuously been looking back at all of our photos and reliving every moment of that day! Thanks again, Hannah! If you are looking for a photographer, we highly recommend you to invest in her, you won't be disappointed!
