Wedding photographer · Seattle and the Pacific Northwest

Honest wedding photographs, edited and delivered in five weeks.

I'm Hana. I photograph about twenty-eight weddings a year, mostly in Washington and Oregon, and spend most of each day out of the way: no staged first kisses and no forty-minute family line-ups. You get the moments as they happened, colour-graded by hand, and a printed album you will actually open.

Saturdays next summer are booking now; a few Fridays remain this autumn.

Recent weddings

Full galleries are shared on request, with each couple's permission.

Approach

How I work on the day

Good wedding photographs come from preparation, not from directing people. Most of my work happens before the first guest arrives.

Editing a wedding gallery on a tablet

Edited by hand

Every gallery is colour-graded one photograph at a time. Expect sixty to ninety finished images for each hour of coverage.

Gold rings on marble

Details before the doors open

I arrive an hour early to photograph the rings, invitations, flowers and the empty room while it still looks exactly as you planned.

Camera and memory cards beside a laptop

Two cards in every camera

Each frame writes to two memory cards at once, and the files are backed up in two places before I drive home.

A second photographer

For weddings over 120 guests, Elias covers the other side of the aisle and the guests while I stay with the two of you.

Couples I have photographed

“We barely noticed Hana all day. Then the gallery arrived, and she had caught my brother crying during the vows.”
Jess T.Married at a winery in Woodinville
“She asked which relatives did not get along and quietly arranged the group photos around it. Nobody noticed but us.”
Marcus L.Groom, Bainbridge Island
“The album is the one thing from our wedding we take off the shelf every single month.”
Sofia N.Bride, Hood River

Questions about booking

Do you travel?

Yes. Anywhere in Washington and Oregon is included; further afield I add travel at cost and one night's lodging.

Can we have the unedited files?

No. Every photograph you receive has been edited by me. Raw files are kept for a year in case you want one revisited.

How many photographs will we get?

Usually sixty to ninety per hour of coverage, depending on the guest count and how much is happening.

What if you are ill on the day?

Three photographer friends who shoot in a similar style are on call. One would step in, and I would still edit your gallery.

Can you work around our traditions?

Always. Tell me about the ceremonies, dances or customs you are planning and I will build the timeline around them.

Tell me your date

I reply to every enquiry within two days, usually with a link to a short video call.
