Your photos should reflect what is personal and meaningful to you. Every couple has a different personality and chemistry. My specialty is bringing out your best moments and the quirks of your relationship.
You're not just another date on my calendar and I don't want to be just another box to check off your planning to-do list. My heart is to give a unique and personal experience to every couple I photograph.
It's my goal to capture the vibe of your relationship
I want to be the least stressful part and best investment for your day.
Planning an elopement, intimate wedding or photo session can be kind of an overwhelming experience.
That’s where I come in.
I’m here to make this process as easy and fun for you as possible.
I want to be more than just your photographer who shows up to snap a few pictures.
I’ll be there for you every step of the way offering planning advice, outfit suggestions, and finding you the BEST locations.
I thrive being a problem solver, so you can rest assured if there are any bumps along the way I will be there to figure it out with you. My priority is making sure you have the BEST wedding day/session experience possible.
I spend a a lot of time before your session getting to know you, creating that connection and finding out what matters most to you both. I make it fun with questionnaires for you to answer together and send back to me. I purposely design these so you two can have a moment to reconnect, plan a bonus date night to go over it and really focus on what you love about your life together.
Whether it's your first crappy little studio apartment together, your favorite summer activity, your favorite date spot, or the day you say I do, The moments, places and things that are valuable to you are valuable to me. I'm here to preserve those memories for you. Your life is beautiful together and all the seemingly small moments of joy have value. THOSE are what you will remember most and what I most love to capture.
Your simple joys are my biggest priority

Not to worry! I’m known for making the most self proclaimed awkward and unphotogenic forget I’m even there, feel relaxed and feel entirely themselves by getting the focus off the giant camera in your face and back on the reason why we are there in the first place: your love and connection and joy you have together. In fact, the less you pay attention to me, the better!
My style of photography is the perfect blend of candid and intentional directing. My goal is to bring out the real you in your photos.
So if you're a human who likes to laugh, I know you'll both have a great time. I know exactly when to direct and prompt, but also know when to step back and let a real, organic moment happen.
Short answer, No.
I believe every wedding big or small is absolutely beautiful in it's own way, but my passion, specialty and expertise is in smaller weddings and elopements. I truly care about helping each couple I work with have an amazing experience on their wedding day and with intimate weddings i'm able to do that to the absolute best of my abilities .
Yes! One of the many ways I serve my couples is by walking them through the permit/planning process of an elopement. I create custom timelines, scout and research the best locations, figure out exactly what permits are needed, finding vendors & so much more!
You are NOT alone in the planning and I'm here for you every step of the way. Take a deep breath and rest easy knowing you've got someone who is there for you and is invested in helping make your wedding day the best day possible.
ABSOLUTELY!
You do NOT need to be a big outdoorsy, hike 7 miles, backpacking in the wilderness type of people to elope. Yes most elopements you see are super outdoorsy and sometimes require some intense hiking but that's NOT the only option out there! Many national parks and outdoor recreational areas have the most GORGEOUS locations that are a short walk from the parking lot.
Not of fan of the forest or mountains? two words.. BEACH ELOPEMENT. Rent a cozy cottage by the seas and have an intimate beachfront elopement or travel to a gorgeous tropical paradise and say your vows together on white sands.
Love the excitement and vibe of the city more? You can DEFINITELY elope in the city! Find a high rise rooftop and say you vows as the sun sets on the skyline. Spend the afternoon running around the city in your wedding clothes, stopping along the way to site-see all your favorite little spots.
An elopement is simply a wedding day that is designed to give the COUPLE an experience together with the focus on them instead of the focus being on an experience for their GUESTS.
The possibilities are endless and i'm here to help you plan it all!
Sarah & Derek
"I can't recommend them enough! Hannah exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and quantity of photos. My wife and I aren't the best in front of the lens and honestly, we can be incredibly awkward. Hannah and Michael were able to guide us to appear more fluid. They gave us the confidence to feel and look natural in our photographs. They are also some of the kindest people and had a way of making you feel like you’re doing something right when posing for photos! Our original wedding plans were canceled due to covid but one good thing that came out of it was this opportunity to have beautiful photos taken of us by these amazing photographers! My worries washed away immediately upon meeting them. They're incredibly genuine and easy to talk to. The photos turned out remarkable, way better than the wedding photos I'm used to seeing, even with a background like Yosemite. "
"They gave us the confidence to feel and look natural in our photographs."
Aaron & Adriana
"Hannah made sure we weren't stressed or running behind on our wedding day. We had one hiccup the entire wedding day and she made sure it wouldn't ruin our day. She talked to me like a best friend to make sure I had the perfect day. OMG, she went above and beyond for us. Everyone was so impressed and talked about how they wanted her as their photographer."
"Everyone was so impressed and talked about how they wanted her & her husband as their photographers."
Sarah & Zak
"Hannah did engagement photos for us and they turned out amazing. Both her and her husband were so pleasant to be around- Just straight up good people. They make posing for photos fun and not awkward at all! We loved how the photos turned out so much that we are also having them shoot our wedding and couldn't be more stoked about it. Thank you guys for being awesome"
"Both her and her husband were so pleasant to be around"
Tabitha & Chandler
"We cannot say enough wonderful things about Hannah! She was so incredibly kind and patient with us. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Hannah was so timely with her responses and always was one step ahead. Most importantly she was punctual and professional while still being fun loving! Her photographs were so beautiful and well priced. We are so grateful to have been able to work with Hannah, and are looking for any reason to schedule her again soon!"
"We cannot say enough wonderful things about Hannah! "
Joanne & JJ
"We can not thank Hannah and Michael enough for being a part of our special day. We knew right off the bat they would be a perfect fit. Both of us do not normally like to take photos of ourselves, but they immediately put us at ease. It was like we were already friends for years! We chose to elope, and on the day of Hannah & Michael were not only our photographers but also stand in bridesmaid/groomsman helping us to get ready, watching our dog child, and having fun with us. I cried a lot, but laughed even more. AND TO THE PHOTOS. Hannah has a special gift. Each one captures the day and who we are so perfectly. I can not stop going through them. If you are looking for someone that can capture you, your personality as a couple, AND have fun then Hannah and Michael are your team."
