FAQ

about me

Welcome, I'm Hannan!

I have been documenting moments for the last 10 years. I don't direct or interrupt what's happening; I document it as it unfolds. The goal is to preserve not just the way your wedding looked, but the way it moved, the way it felt, and the moments you didn't even realize were happening.


Over time, I've developed a style that sits between editorial and documentary, focusing on capturing "Sonder" — the idea that every moment carries a life of its own. There's structure when it's needed, and restraint when it matters most.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

 

 

How Do I Book With You?

Once you’ve filled out the contact form, I’ll schedule a discovery call to learn more about your event. If we’re the right fit, you’ll sign the contract and submit the security deposit to secure your date. Once everything is confirmed, you’re all set.

How long does it take to receive the final photos?

Typically for weddings, the timeline is 8-12 weeks depending on the season. I intentionally take on a limited number of weddings each year to preserve creativity and allow time for each of my projects.

Do You Work With Other Vendors and Teams?

Yes! I'd love to collaborate with your wedding vendor team! Our goal as hired vendors is to ensure your event(s) run smoothly. Please let me now who you're working with.

Why Don't You offer Hourly packages?

Weddings often evolve, and timelines can shift throughout the day. Rather than charging by the hour, I’ve found that full-day coverage allows my team and me to document your event without limitations. This includes traveling between locations and being present for key moments as they naturally unfold, even those that begin earlier in the day.

Are packages customizable?

Yes! I offer:

  • Half day (up to 6 hours)
  • Full Day (up to 10 hours)
  • Multi-Day/Destination: (up to 15 hours)
  • Packages are customizable to fit your event coverage needs.
What Makes Your Service Different

I place a strong emphasis on communication and deliverability. From the moment you book, we’ll stay in touch throughout the process. My onboarding clearly outlines expectations and all deliverables, so you always know what to expect.
