HANNAH
personal paparazzi. professional PDA instigator. probably in need of updated photos due to a hairstyle change.
again. :P
I'm
{aka @ladyhanners}
give me a ring >>>
I’m a Pisces-Aries cusp & an enneagram 4w3, which means I’m basically at constant war with myself. I'm fire & water. An old soul & a pioneer. The kite & the hands yanking it to the ground.
While routines and I are in an ongoing situationship, I'm also an ultimate checklister, which means what you get with me is juxtaposed cocktail of Type A professionalism and rule-breaking idealism.
I have 10+ years experience in event production, & now with over 150 weddings under my belt, I’m a workhorse you want on the team. xo
FUN FACTS
My approach to wedding photography is a mesh of documentary style + a signature flavor of which I have yet to name. Copycatting trends isn't within my wheelhouse, which means what you'll get from me is a honest & artful method to documenting your day exactly as it looks and feels like... the belly laughs, private tears, grandma's silly sass, and all the unique textures, colors, and candid life that make up your wedding day (aka, my photographic language).
On wedding days, I tend to be a silent stalker, in the best way. (*wink*) I'm not one to steal the spotlight or brashly direct or command attention. Instead you'll find me slipping into the shadows and capturing your day exactly as it's naturally unfolding.
At the same time, when troubleshooting is needed or a moment needs a little coaxing to create an iconic shot, I've got you covered! Taking the lead at opportune times is no stranger to me, so it's that subtle line between hiding & guiding that I tend to ride quite well. At least that's what my couples say!
EXPERIENCE
{see for yourself}
The arts and I have a history. I was a bred a musician, painted for a few years, did makeup for theater on the side, and finally landed in photography.
I have a curly-headed angel baby daughter named Penelope (who's very much my mini me).
I'm kind of a dork in person.
Never grew out of it!
My Muses Have Spoken.
Working with Hannah for our wedding photos was the best decision we made! She is so incredibly talented, creative and just a wonderful person. We’re not naturals in front of the camera but Hannah made us so comfortable and coached us through the portraits you wouldn’t be able to tell.
And let me tell you— they came out the most beautifully aesthetic photos ever. These are not cookie cutter photos! Her candid photos of the night captured the vibe and personality of the wedding and all of the guests and told a story of the night so perfectly.
I actually cry every time I think of my great great grandchildren looking at these pictures one day and think ‘wow they were so cool and beautiful’. We cannot recommend Hannah enough!!!
— Cassie + Anthony
Hannah was an incredible photographer for our wedding day, and we'd hire her again & again! She was a very calming energy to be around, which was great, especially with our wedding jitters.
She nailed every important shot we asked for and then some! We loved her artistic flow and that we were able to get non-traditional photos along with all of our traditional photos. Her response time was great & she answered any and all questions we had.
Thank you sooo much for capturing our beautiful day Hannah!
— Cassidy + Miro
Choosing to book Hannah was easily the best decision we made for our wedding! She is absolutely amazing and when we say she went above and beyond I mean SHE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND. She was our favorite vendor! She is still famous with our people because of her beautiful work.
She kept the flow of our wedding running smoothly and even helped get us out of some sticky situations. We can't thank her enough for making our day so sweet and our photos so beautiful!

My couples say I’m genuinely disarming, with a sprinkle of dry sarcasm to get you giggling. (!)
I’ve spent the bulk of my photography career showcasing both pro model's & “non-pro-model's” sexy sides, and I’ve got a secret recipe for making that happen. If you bring your own unique heat to the game, I’ll work my photo alchemy & you won’t even know what hit you. Pinky promise.

FAQs
DO YOU CHARGE TRAVEL FEES?
Nope! All travel fees are pre-built into my packages, so you can scratch that off your budget. Inquire with me for a full Pricing Guide with my packages detailed out, and I'll walk you through the rest of the booking process. Easy!
DO YOU HELP WITH PLANNING?
WHAT'S YOUR APPROACH?
DO YOU TRAVEL?
WHAT ARE YOUR COUPLES SHOOTS?
I do! Though I will say, I am a huuuge advocate for hiring a planner (the wizards of the wedding world-- literal godsends) because planning is their expertise. When a pro handles the planning/coordinating, I can focus solely on acing photography for you. Muahah.
At the same time, I have loads of planning tips and tricks up my sleeve from years of shooting that I’m happy to share! And at the very least, you’ll get timeline assistance from me. I got you. <3
Good news! 95% of the work to craft stellar shots is mine. not yours. ;) I'll give you a starting direction, and then artfully document what’s happening naturally in front of my lens. This way you never feel lost while we're shooting, and your photos feel organic and unforced. Shooting experiences with me are hella fun and funky (we're never too serious for long!) while staying true to your personalities and natural expression. You just gotta show up and be yourself. *chef's kiss*
MY FAVORITE. Creative couples sessions are handcrafted, customized photoshoots tailored specifically to you and your person. Not just a basic shoot, these are full experiences that make you feel like a rockstar, fall deeper in love together, and let you leave with photos you’ll want to drop tears on for years to come.
Definitely! Southern California is my home, but I shoot all over the U.S. I have couples travel to me from out of state or fly me to them, so we’ve got options.
