After a brief delay due to the pandemic, Emily and Tejas finally had their Indian-American wedding at Wintergreen Resort this past summer!

Audra and Justin celebrated their love with a late summer wedding at Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm. The pair started the day by getting ready at their separate homes.

It’s official – Lucy and Ben tied the knot in a gorgeous, spring Dover Hall wedding! They, like everyone else who was planning a 2020 wedding, were impacted by Covid. Their original wedding was scheduled for September 2020, but they eventually landed on postponing until May 2021. And let me tell you – the weather […]
Okay – I know 2020 was a dud, but this wedding was nothing less than beautiful! Katelyn and Josh tied the knot during a warm summer Saturday at the Barn at Turkey Ridge. This was my first time at this venue and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The barn itself is situated […]
Part Two is here! Late summer and fall seasons did not look the same, although we managed to stay pretty busy. We had senior portraits, engagement sessions and plenty of weddings, both small and medium-sized. We managed to contract Covid (even though we were SO careful!!) but were able to quarantine and not infect anyone. […]

Inspiration from Hannah Joy
Hannah and her team were OUTSTANDING!! Every step of the process Hannah went above and beyond and really made me feel important and my ideas heard. She was always there and willing to jump in to help with anything and ease my stress on the wedding day. She was extra prepared for whatever and super professional yet down to earth and approachable. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease when taking the photos which really helps make them look and feel very genuine and not stiff and posed. When it came time to delivering the finished gallery
We couldn’t have been more pleased. She was such a tremendous blessing and we were so so grateful she was a part of our special day. If you are on the fence about what photographer to hire, don’t hesitate any longer, she is the best and you will not regret choosing her and her talents!

Hannah and Anthony did a stellar job with a bridal portrait session, rehearsal dinner and our wedding day! We ended up with hundreds of beautiful photos. Hannah was always so prompt and helpful throughout the whole process of booking, planning, and ordering prints/albums.

We had the pleasure of working with Hannah and Anthony for our engagement shoot in Charlottesville, VA. Not only did she know the best spots for photos around the area but she timed it out perfectly so the sun was setting when we arrived to Raven's Roost, which made for stunning photographs! She also helped us include our new puppy in the session, which made for some adorable photos.
We have her prints hanging up throughout our house and we can't get enough!

Hannah is an absolutely phenomenal person to work with! She and her second shooter (her partner, Anthony), were so fun while being a calming presence on our wedding day!
Hannah does amazing work and is an incredible value as a wedding vendor. You cannot go wrong picking Hannah to work with you on your wedding!

Hannah did an amazing job with my wedding photos! She is easy to contact and got back to us in record time, every time. She was professional, but still made the entire process fun! She coordinated the first look pictures beautifully. She gave great direction to everyone in each picture so they knew exactly what she was looking for and gave time for us to be ourselves as well. She got us through the family portraits in great time (which was important to me), but I didn't feel rushed and they look amazing! The bride and groom session was so much fun as well. I didn't anticipate enjoying that portion of the wedding as much as I did, and it is truly thanks to Hannah. She was even willing to do another session with us later in the wedding on the beach which was exactly what I wanted.
On top of the enjoyable experience, the pictures look AMAZING.

Hannah and her second-shooter, Anthony, shot my wedding photos and did an amazing job! They perfectly captured the feel and energy we were going for and I could not have asked for a better experience.
They were so friendly and easy to work with and made us both feel comfortable even though we're not natural photo-takers. I would definitely recommend!
She captured the little details and candid moments perfectly.

Hannah is so level headed and organized, which helped so much switching gears mid-planning from the large wedding we had planned to the small family only ceremony we ended up having during the pandemic.

My fiance had Hannah photograph his proposal, which was a total surprise for me. Hannah was awesome, and caught the moment perfectly! We then took engagement pictures, and
She gave us the pictures very quickly, and there were so many. We 100% recommend Hannah.
I hired Hannah as my wedding photographer in 2016, almost 2 years in advanced, for my Sept 2018 wedding and when my husband and I finally got to meet Hannah for our engagement photo session in Sept 2017, we knew instantly that we wouldn't have wanted anyone else for this job. She matched our personality's perfectly and we knew that she was going to make our BIG day even more enjoyable.
I knew she had it handled. We could not be happier with Hannah, her fantastic second shooter and the third shooter she brought to help with her for the day since she was injured. We received TONS of pictures and there is not one that we did not like. If I could have Hannah to photograph every big event for the rest of my life, I would without a doubt!
She was amazing start to finish and when she injured herself just weeks before our wedding, I did not spend a second stressing.
