    Hannah is the best ever. She has an unparalleled eye, a graceful spirit, and a warm smile. She photographed every moment and then some, allowing us to live the wedding in a way not possible when you're in the middle of it! We loved her use of vibrant, rich colors, and fell as madly in love with her black and white shots, a lot of which we printed larger to hang around the house. ...

She is so warm, genuine, and has such a wonderful, calm nature about her. ...
