Hannah is an incredible wedding photographer. She was brilliant from start to finish and the photos she captured are stunning. We absolutely love them! She was the perfect balance of blending in and still getting all the shots we wanted. It felt like she was a friend (with the same sense of humour!) and lots of our guests commented on how great she was. Would highly recommend Hannah!

Hannah seamlessly fitted into our big day and made us feel completely at ease. We're not the type of couple who like being centre of attention and don't really like having our photos taken but during the 'golden hour' when we had our couple shots, Hannah made us feel relaxed and got us laughing and enjoying ourselves. We filled out a questionnaire before the wedding with details about us, locations, timings, group shots and any special details we wanted to capture and she managed to get everything we wanted. Our photos arrived on a beautifully decorated wooden encased USB and were available to

Hannah was fantastic from start to finish!! We have a lovely premeet where she showed us some of her brilliant work, immediately putting us at ease. During the day she adapted brilliantly to a last minute change of plan. Guests commented on how well Hannah blended into the background which meant she was able to take some fabulous caption shots. We then got a lovely surprise in the way the photos were delivered to us. A real keepsake. Have already recommended her to other couples getting married next year. Many thanks Hannah

We chose Hannah as our wedding photographer as we wanted someone who understood how we wanted more candid shots rather than posed photos. Hannah did a great job and captured so many amazing moments from our day. Would highly recommend Hannah to any newly engaged couples.
