Choosing a wedding photographer goes beyond a typical client-vendor relationship. It's about finding someone who understands your vision because we're not just here to take pictures; we're here to preserve the memories of your wedding day.
My dedication to my craft lies in capturing the genuine, unfiltered emotions and pure happiness that define your special day. The real magic in wedding photos hides in those candid, fleeting moments – a loving glance between parents, a teary hug with the maid of honor, a funny moment with the best man. These moments hold a unique significance that even the most posed photos can't match. I am able to freeze these memories in time, along with every little detail – from the luscious flowers to the custom attire and the beauty of the sunset that sets behind your celebration.
My work isn't just a transaction; it's a personal, close-knit experience that captures the authenticity and magic of your wedding day, allowing you to relive your day long after it has passed.

Hannah's photography portfolio includes professional athletes, influencers, Broadway stars, and politicians, and her work has been featured in Over the Moon, Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Wedding Chicks, and more. Hannah serves as an educator and moderator for students of Rebecca Yale, a renowned wedding photographer with a global following.
When I'm not documenting your romance, I'm living my own happily ever after with my sweetheart, Nic, and our two little ones, Mason and Olivia. I also own Balanced Livermore alongside my husband. I love snuggling my babies, kid-free date nights with a glass of champagne, and finding the joy in everyday moments.
Though often short and fleeting, I make it my mission to uncover the raw and authentic moments throughout your day. A shared smile between your parents, a final hug from the maid of honor, a stolen kiss between you two just before entering the reception hall - these are the candid, honest shots that show how real and powerful your love story is.
Your wedding day is full of powerful emotions! As you stand outside of the ceremony, stomach full of butterflies, or cry and hug during the father-daughter dance, or laugh and spill your champagne during the toasts - the way you're feeling in these moments is something you'll never want to forget.
You wouldn't be who you are without them, and having the opportunity to meet your closest friends and family is something I will truly cherish! Getting to know each of them helps me to get to know you and your love for each other even more, empowering me to capture the fullness of your love with even more understanding and passion.
I am a believer in love knowing no bounds. I am committed to the promotion of diversity, inclusivity, and celebrating our differences as they are what make us beautiful. I pledge as a business to accept, respect, and include clients, employees, and fellow vendors of all races, colors, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, national origins, ancestries, special needs, or disabilities. I pledge to be an active participant in the collective journey to overcome the fear of difference and replace it with the power of inclusion.
