About this vendor
A photographer for the couples who laugh until they cry, or cry until they laugh. Whose most candid moments are between photographs. The ones who aren’t scared to get a little messy and are down for the adventure. The couples who kick off their shoes when the dance floor gets going and don’t mind getting their dress a little dirty or their hair a little wind tousled in the name of an amazing photo. Everyone is awkward in their own way, but I’m here to embrace who you are, through the vows, the hand squeezes, the excited and nervous moments, surrounded by your people at the start of your greatest adventure yet. A photographer that becomes your friend, builds relationships and doesn't only deliver photos, but an experience you'll cherish and photographs that capture how you truly felt.

EDIT: Hannah reached out to us and apologized profusely for the mixup. Due to new changes being made to her website, she lost access to her email and was simply not receiving our c...
ommunications. She also informed us that her system has a fail safe in which if she is the one to cancel the contract, the money is automatically sent back to the client after 3 months. We had not reached that 3 month mark yet. She has also offered us a complimentary session to make up for the contract cancellation.
Knowing what I know now about the situation, I would definitely hire Hannah again.
Old Post: Hannah was absolutely great up until she canceled our contract on us and disappeared with our deposit and first installment (over $1400!!). She canceled for a very good reason (she became pregnant) so we were understanding and didn't think much of it since we had enough time to find someone else and believed she would return our deposit and first payment (as she said she would). Right after the email informing us that she has to cancel our contract, she went completely dark and stopped responding to our emails, phone calls, and Instagram messages for weeks (all of which we have documented) and has yet to return our money. Now we are out $1400 and have no indication that it will ever be repaid. Proceed with caution with this vendor.
It is hard for me and my husband to put into words just how much we recommend Hannah. We would give her 15 stars out of 10 if we could. Our photos from the wedding weekend are ab...
solutely gorgeous. We could not have asked for more on that front, but more than that, Hannah was an absolute joy to work with on the day of. She 100% made our wedding day (and rehearsal dinner) more fun. My husband said for months the only thing he wasn't looking forward to was taking pictures. Hannah's happiness, humor and kindness made all of that an absolute breeze and wonderful experience. I will be reaching out to her for any photo needs in the future and highly, highly recommend her for your wedding needs!
From the minute I first talked to Hannah I knew she was our photographer. She is so easy to speak and work with who has one the kindest souls. She made us comfortable and helped...
reassure us that we were rocking each shoot! We felt like we had known her for years and were just three friend out for an adventure. Our wedding party has continuously told us that they have never met a harder working photographer. Throughout our wedding she treated us like VIP and helped me just about anything I needed. Her passion for photography and each persons love story is a true sentiment to her work.Her natural ability to find the right angle and light makes all her photos look breathing. We are constantly impressed with her work and so happy to have chosen Hannah as our wedding photographer. Seriously, You can’t go wrong with hiring Southernative photography!
Hannah is absolutely amazing! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about her and everyone at the wedding agreed. Not only does she take breathtaking pictures, she is one of t...
he kindest people I have met, and makes everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She made sure I (the bride) was taken care of and also took care of my dog and fed her while I was eating. 5 stars isn’t enough!!
Hannah is so much more than a photographer, over the course of just a few short months she genuinely becomes a friend. She did an absolutely wonderful job of capturing our engageme...
nt photos, my boudoir session (she made me feel so comfortable and it was SO much fun) and of course our wedding!!! She is one of the sweetest souls I have ever met and is one of the most skill photographers, who really brings out the best of you! Do not hesitate to book with Hannah!!!

Brides... do yourself a favor and BOOK THIS PHOTOGRAPHER! I have met many many photographers all over the country and Hannah truly has the passion to capture the most beautiful pho...
tos of any event/wedding you will ever see. She has the vision that most don't have. Her ability to create is beyond perfection.
Hannah also has the biggest heart. She connects with those around her and you can feel all the feels in her presence.
I promise she will deliver so book her now!
The moment I met Hannah, I knew that deciding on a photographer was so much more than pricing, and logistics.
Choosing a photographer is making the decision to place trust in tha...
t person, have them be apart of a HUGE part of your life and knowing they will capture that in a way that truly reflects who you are.
Hannah has a heart of gold, she goes above and beyond. On my wedding day, I had a photographer, but I also had someone who worked tirelessly to make certain I didn't lift a finger. She calmed me, she bustled my dress when no one else could, she kept me hydrated, she kept me fed, she planned little surprises to make sure my day was BEYOND special.
Hannah works doing marketing, she's a wife, she's a friend, she's a TOTAL boss babe, and she still will give you her ALL.
She has a servant's heart and takes her photography VERY serious. She edits above and beyond what she's paid to deliver, she will do just about anything you need or ask of her, and most of the time she does it without it being brought up. She just knows.
Our photos were beyond beautiful, but one of the most special aspects of our day was having Hannah there. As a new friend, as a talented photographer, and as someone I know will support my husband and me through our journey the rest of our lives.
If she's open on your wedding day BOOK HER. I've been a bridesmaid in MANY MANY weddings, I've never seen a photographer go above and beyond on a wedding day the way she does, and the way I know she will for you.
Thank you for blessing my life, Hannah.
WE LOVE YOU.
I don’t even know where to begin! First Hannah was a joy to begin with. I told her my vision and she was on board! Telling me exactly how she was going to enhance it to make it bet...
ter! She quickly became a friend with as many phone calls and texts as I needed to make me feel comfortable about our day!
Her work... I mean wow. I can’t even compare it to anything because she is the best! She blew my mind. It was everything and more! She was so much fun on the day of wedding. She made me feel comfortable and not nervous or awkward about being photographed. She is worth every penny and more!
I take away from my wedding not only the best pictures I’ve ever seen of myself but an amazing friend for a life time!
Hannah made our day feel perfect in every way. She captured moments that I was so busy didn’t even pay attention too. I love her work. She CARES ABOUT U & ur party
As a wedding planner, I appreciate Hannah’s flexibility and willingness to go the extra mile to take care of her couples. Her care and compassion is unrivaled! Her product is flawl...

we are not the most comfortable people in front of a camera. She was so enthusiastic about being apart of our engagement. Our pictures were beautiful and natural looking, we could not be happier. If you're looking for someone young, fun, flexible, and hardworking you should contact Hannah!!!
Hannah did both our engagement and wedding photos. As someone who puts a high priority on photos for life events and. Milestones, I began my search for my photographer a year and a...
half before my wedding. I had talked to more than a dozen photographers and looked at countless portfolios. I just wasn’t seeing what I wanted. I wanted someone who could capture natural, candid shots without over posing or excessively editing. I wanted in the moment, as things are happening, shots. I was beginning to think that I wasn’t going to be able to find someone in Kentucky who could tell our story and give us the look that we wanted, and then, I found Southern Native Photography by Hannah Lane.
She was so helpful and listened to what I was looking for. She was so incredibly easy and fun to work with. I was nervous about the level of cooperation she was going to be able to get out of my now husband. Doug absolutely loathes having his picture taken. Some how, when she did our engagement photos Hannah amazed me and managed to get his full cooperation- he was willingly posing and listening to her every direction. Our session was fun and light hearted. Hannah spent time really getting to know us and capturing what she was seeing as us and the nature of our relationship. The photos from our engagement session were so beautiful that I was beyond excited to see what she was going to do with the photos for our wedding.
I can’t thank Hannah enough for everything she did for us at our wedding. She was an indispensable source of knowledge on the day of, and events leading up to the wedding, in addition to providing us with absolutely amazing photos. Our wedding party was rather large and consisted of a number of small children. Kids in large group settings can be a challenge for the most experienced photographer, especially if you have half the kids that were in our wedding party. Hannah handled the entire experience like a champ. She got the most stunning shots with the kids included. Photography, was something that was a top priority for us for our wedding. And although we are both very private people, sharing those special moments with Hannah, and trusting her professional judgement, yielded some awesome results. Hannah made the day easy and fun. She was one of the family before the night was over with. My future sister-in-law was so impressed with Hannah she has since contacted her about her up coming wedding. We loved having Hannah with us every step of the way. Thank you Hannah for being there to preserve our memories and to tell our story - it truly means the world to us. I look forward to having Hannah to share and capture our future story. She’s family now.
With Gratitude and the most love - Doug and Connie Wise
Hannah is absolutely amazing at what she does. We decided to do an elopement and didn’t need all the extra stuff so she worked with us so we could get what we wanted. She is a kind...
, joyful and spirited person that will make you feel beautiful and special on this wonderful day. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. All you have to do is look at some of her photos to feel confident she is experienced and knows what she’s doing. You will not be disappointed!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Hannah. She took anniversary photos of my husband and I and they are STUNNING. She is so sweet and makes you feel so comfort...
able in front of the camera. She isn't afraid to get dirty to capture the perfect photo. Her style is so unique and authentic! I wish I could go back and have her take pictures of my wedding!
I can’t imagine having anyone else there to capture our special day. Hannah was the utmost professional and did a beautiful job. It was so important to me that she capture the mome...
nts as they happened... rather than creating a “staged” environment. She was the perfect mix of capturing the candids as the day flew along, but made we sure we had the photos of perfection to look back on for years. I am so appreciative of her creative talented soul, and the stamp she put on the most important day of our lives.
Hannah was an absolute joy to work with! She was so much fun, and full of energy and she helped make our wedding day a dream! She is one of the most kind people I have ever met, an...
d went above and beyond expectations capturing our special day. She has a way of making everyone feel so special, and she exudes joy! She will without a doubt capture your day perfectly, and be so much more than just a “vendor in the background” in the best way! I know that I have a friend in Hannah, and am so happy she was a part of our wedding day.
If you’re looking for the most amazing pictures and a wonderful person to work with, then look no further than Hannah. From the first moment we met to our wedding day, I knew that ...
my wedding day was going to be captured flawlessly and that I wasn’t going to have to worry about missing any moments when looking back. Hannah made everything so much fun and was so easy to work with. She made sure to capture every moment that we wanted/needed and then some! We couldn’t me more greatful to have had the chance to have her capture our wedding!
Hannah took my engagement photos early this year and I honestly can't put into words how happy we are. My fiance was stressed enough about having to be photographed, but Hannah mad...
e it SO easy. We laughed, we danced and we left feeling way more in love than we came. If you want a photographer that not only gives it 100% but truly loves and cares about her clients, CHOOSE SOUTHERN NATIVE. She's an artist with a kind, loving heart. I can't wait to see what she does with our elopement next July.
For a 22 year old, finishing her college career and balancing her own business. She went above and beyond to make us feel like we were so speicial, and still continues to do so.
There is so much to say about Southern Native Photography! Hannah is the sweetest human and brings a sense of calm to every situation! She helped me in a pinch when my original vid...
eographer couldn’t complete his commitments - and it ended up being best thing for me and our day! She took on every role from bustle organizer/veil wrangler to videographer/photographer capturing the most beautiful moments. I consider myself lucky to have found this special lady and company. You won’t be sorry you worked with her!
I know Hannah on a personal level and also a professional level. She has always had an eye for photography, but over time she has created a business that allows so much more to hap...
pen than just a simple photography session.
A couple month back Hannah took my engagement photos. She went above and beyond to customize our vision and turned our session into US.
A lot of photographers simply work to take a photo, Hannah and her husband Cody work together to create a home within the session. They create a life long friendship with the clients and memory that’s last forever AND they explore the world around them to allow their clients to have amazing scenery and adventure.
I LOVE Hannah! She did our engagement shoot and she truly took the time to get to know both of us and shot our pictures to portray both of our personalities perfectly. Such a pleas...
ure to work with her. I will be hiring her for EVERYTHING from now on! 10/10 recommend!!
Hannah was super awesome to work with, she made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and we loved her bubbly personality! I really like her vision and her ...
photographs are absolutely stunning, she captured the love that we share so perfectly and I couldn’t be more pleased! I highly recommend her to any upcoming brides and grooms, she’s truly talented!
Hannah was such an amazing photographer. She handled our wedding day beautifully, and she goes beyond the role of photographer. She coordinates, curls hair, wrangles family, you na...
me it. Her work is absolutely beautiful, you can tell she puts her heart and soul into what she does. I couldn’t recommend her more, she will make you feel beautiful and on top of the world on your wedding day. She knows how to have fun with it, while being serious at the same time. Her husband Cody second shot for our wedding and he personally came up and introduced himself to my husband and I during dinner, since we hadn’t met him previously. Such a lovely couple, very professional, but also makes you feel part of the family. 10/10!!
First of all Hannah and Cody are my favorite people I've ever had the pleasure of "working" with. I think that certain people are put in your life for a reason, and I now have a l...
ife long friend. Hannah's talents are nothing short of amazing and I am constantly being told that my engagement and wedding photos are "the best I've ever seen" or "should be in a magazine". I'm not someone to sparingly compliment and I'm probably the biggest critic when it comes to wedding photography because I knew exactly what I wanted, and she was able to capture our day perfectly. She's the type of person you want to hog all to yourself but know you'd be doing an injustice to other brides if you didn't share and let her work her magic. I can't do you any bigger favor than urge you to let Hannah capture your big day! If she's already booked.. you missed out!
Hannah was AMAZING!! More than we could ever ask for. She’s honestly just so good at what she does. Our engagement shoot was a blast and she made us feel so comfortable! She knows ...
how to get the perfect candid shots. She’s truly amazing at what she does and takes time to get to know you as a person. I will cherish our pictures forever!!
Hannah was the absolute SWEETEST and most perfect first photographer for my husband and I! Once we were engaged, I thought the picture part of engagement sessions would be so nerve...
wrecking, but she made us feel so at ease and just ourselves! Her style is so unique and her energy matches! The pictures she took were amongst the BEST I have ever seen from any photographer. Hannah not only made us feel so comfortable in front of her camera, but got to capture us be our most natural and genuine selves. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a young star in the photography world! She has big things coming, this is only the beginning and we were so grateful to be a part of her journey! Thank you HANNAH!!!
Hannah was nothing less than phenomenal on my wedding day💕 She was so much more than a photographer but rather a planner-from keeping me calm to sprucing up my bouquet and all aro...
und saving the day. Her energy is unreal and her work is breathtaking, and I couldn't imagine anyone else capturing my life through a lens. THE BEST.
