Words from the Bride
The morning of our wedding I was so incredibly nervous. So many thoughts running through my mind – is the DJ here? Is the food going to be yummy? I hope I don’t trip down the aisle!! All in all, I was just hoping and praying that my vision would turn out how I had hoped. The only thing I wasn’t worried about was the man I had chosen. I truly could not wait to marry Wyatt. We knew early on that we wanted to do a first look. I have pretty intense stage fright with a touch of social anxiety so walking down the aisle and speaking in front of everyone was TERRIFYING. That being said I was so excited to express my love in front of all of my friends and family. Hair and makeup are wrapping up and my tummy is seriously doing all of the acrobatics. Hannah lets me know that it is time to do first looks. I am still so anxious and walking down to Wyatt I am seriously hoping that I don’t pass out. But the second that he turns around…everything and I mean EVERYTHING fades away. I am immediately enveloped in his calming presence, overwhelmed with the joy that we have made it to our wedding day…and HELLO that I get to marry this AMAZING man. We were able to exchange about how our mornings and evenings went, tell each other how dang good each other looks, and just have a moment of normalcy between the two of us. I don’t know how couples make it down the aisle without doing a first look. Seriously it was probably my favorite moment of the whole day. This may have been one of the only moments that we shared the entire day that was just the two of us. If you are a bride and you are considering whether or not to do a first look. DO IT! Hannah captured the moment so beautifully but also made sure we had plenty of time to just BE with one another. I can’t recommend enough the importance of our first look, I hope every bride can have that moment, where everything fades away and it’s just you and the person you love most.

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR HANNAH SMITH EVERYONE!!!!
Seriously Hannah is not only wildly talented but has the kind of composure and presence that makes you feel like everything is going phenomenally. Truly our wedding venue could have been burning to the ground and we probably wouldn’t have noticed. When choosing a photographer, it seems like everyone looks at a few photos to see the editing style and makes a decision quickly after that. There is so much more to a wedding photographer than that!! On your wedding day you spend MOST OF YOUR DAY with your photographer! Seriously there was probably no one that we had more one on one time with than Hannah on our day. She is the kindest, most empathetic, detail oriented, and she also takes some pretty amazing photos. Hannah’s process is so effective in getting to know you as a couple. We loved her from the first moment we spoke on the phone when she called to chat about style/them/ etc. She was so enthusiastic about our vision for our wedding day and that enthusiasm never once wavered over the entire YEAR that we worked together. From our engagement shoot to emails to the actual day of she was always so attentive, honest, and constructive. She was so helpful with timeline that we spent most of our wedding day AHEAD on time. When do you ever hear of that happening?! I can’t possibly say enough great things about Hannah. We can’t wait to work with her again in the future and of course… her photos speak for themselves. I mean just check her out. Is she not just so impressive? I would recommend Hannah a million times out of 10. She is fantastic.
