hey! I’m hannah :)

So how did this photography thing start anyway? Well, I consider the beginning of this whole “documentarian” journey from when I was about 8 years old. I was gifted a good old fashioned camcorder and a Kodak lil point-and-shoot guy (with about 2 giant mega pixels). I started documenting just about everything around me and was fascinated with the idea of freezing time with photographs and videos to be revisited for years to come.

First, it was simply of hangin’ around the house with my brother and friends and our once-a-year ski trips to Michigan. Then, it soon became directing photoshoots, music videos, and commercials with my friends (don’t ask… actually please do). Once I got to High School, I was in a few photography classes and became the senior photo editor for our yearbook. Both of these led me to my first ever paid photoshoot — encouraged by Miss Mangrich and Mrs. Klevens themselves. I cannot praise these two enough.

Now, how did weddings become my “thing” you ask? Never before having been to a wedding, I was enthralled with the idea of them when my mom was remarried back in 2014. I geeked over and befriended her photographer, and soon after she let me shoot several weddings by her side.

It was in those first few weddings I witnessed that I realized just how much I love not only documenting them, but experiencing all the beautiful intricacies of them altogether.

Part of why I love my job is because I just freakin’ LOVE meeting new people and being curious of who they are, and what makes them them.

My job involves entering an intimate and emotional space and time in people’s lives, and because of that, it can often lead to beautiful and fruitful friendships — and I am forever grateful for them. And for this lil job of mine.

(Yes this is Mary Cate gifting ME a bottle of nice tequila on HER wedding day… are you kidding me rn?)

I love weddings — Even more, I love marriage. Marriage is sacred. It symbolizes and makes space for the end of one era and the beginning of the next. It’s in that space where my photography finds purpose. It’s in the energy created by monumental transition that I find such sincere inspiration.

    I could not be happier that we chose Hannah to be our photographer and capture our wedding!! She is so talented and made us feel relaxed and confident from our engagement session to our wedding day. She is extremely easy to work with, so kind and went above and beyond the day of the wedding to make everything run smoothly! I am blown away at the sneak peek of photos we got the week after the wedding and excited to get the rest soon!! Her photos are beautiful and authentic. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!!!

    I don't even know where to begin. Hannah is incredible. From the very moment I saw her work on Instagram I knew this girl had talent, but the best part is how she treats her clients. Hannah made our day go SO smoothly and truly feels more like a close friend than a photographer on your wedding day. Her photography is absolutely timeless and she is just a warm, sweet person to be around! Hannah was so flexible and helpful throughout our wedding planning process. She captured exactly who we are as a couple, and every time we look back at our photos, we feel like we're experiencing our wedding day all over again. Hannah Leigh Imagery-thank you SO much. We love you!!

    1000% recommend booking Hannah for your engagement and wedding photos. I feel like our photos are beautiful, timeless, and natural - and we got tons of compliments on the look of our pictures. She made taking a million photos fun and easy (I was nervous, but instantly comfortable after meeting her), and she felt like a long time friend. I appreciate her being reasonably priced and flexible (our first engagement shoot was rainy so we got to do some additional time another day). Being a 2020 bride was anything but easy, but Hannah was a breath of fresh air as a “vendor” and I never worried. In fact, at times she was a friend to vent to in all of our frustrations with covid. Hannah, sincerely THANK YOU for being you and sharing your gift with us. I hope we can bring you to Denver or see you again when we are back in town. You’re the best!

    Hannah was the secret sauce to our wedding! She was incredibly patient & flexible through all the different versions of our wedding that we planned during Covid. She has amazing energy, an empathetic spirit, and an incredible eye for photos. She was the only non-family member at our small wedding but she immediately felt like a family member and we were so comfortable around her. She captured every moment in such a breathtaking way. She made the whole process so easy & effortless while producing the most gorgeous photos. I promise that you will want to have her exuberance surrounding you on your wedding day!
