Oh hello there!

 

A little bit about me - Nottinghamshire Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker

Hi, I'm Hannah — I'm a Nottinghamshire based wedding photographer and filmmaker who loves capturing real moments and meaningful memories. I’m based in a small village just over the boarder into Nottinghamshire, but I travel all over the UK documenting weddings, elopements, and family stories through natural photography and film.

I specialise in storytelling wedding photography and highlight films, capturing authentic moments as they unfold. My approach is relaxed and documentary, which means nothing is overly posed or staged. Instead, I focus on genuine interactions — the smiles, laughter, hugs, and the happy tears that make your day truly unforgettable. My goal is simple: to capture you being you. Real moments, real emotions, and all the little details that make your story unique.

When I'm not photographing weddings or editing beautiful memories, you'll probably find me out exploring the countryside. I love hiking in the Peak District or the Yorkshire Dales, cooking a good Sunday dinner, attempting to keep my ever-growing collection of houseplants alive, growing in the garden and tackling new home projects.

At home, I spend lots of time with Max, my rescue house rabbit, and my other half Myles — my favourite person and biggest supporter. I honestly don't believe I'd be doing this wonderful jubilee today without him. I’m a huge fan of the outdoors and love exploring new places across the UK, as well as returning to old favourites, like the Yorkshire Dales and the Norfolk coast.

 

Where it all began

Photography has always been a huge part of my life. When I was younger, I carried a small point-and-shoot camera everywhere I went. Family day trips and holidays to Norfolk always meant my camera came along too. 

 

When I was about 15, my dad bought me my first DSLR camera, which is when my love of photography really took off. I started by photographing everything around me, especially landscapes and wildlife. There’s nothing better than a beautiful sunset over a field.

Fast forward a few years and photography has become my career. I’ve now been photographing weddings and families across the UK for over 7 years, capturing more than 200 weddings along the way and I couldn't love it more!

 

Wedding Films

In 2022, after spending a year learning and experimenting with video, I began offering wedding highlight films alongside photography. I practised on styled shoots, engagement sessions, and even filmed a photographer friend's wedding, which was an incredible learning experience. Since then, I’ve completely fallen in love with filmmaking. Capturing movement, emotion, and atmosphere through film adds another layer to your story, and I now offer wedding highlight films for my couples.

My filming style and knowledge is always evolving, but storytelling remains at the heart of everything I create.

My Photography Style & Approach

My style is natural, relaxed, emotive, and a little romantic. I’m not a big fan of posing. Instead, I focus on the natural in-between moments — the ones that happen when you're simply enjoying the day. Candid moments, genuine laughter, movement, and connection are what  take you right back to the day.

I also love capturing the little details that help tell the full story of your day. Flowers moving in the breeze, hair blowing in the wind, jewellery catching the light, confetti in your hair, dresses brushing through leaves, and hands intertwined as you walk together. These small moments help create a complete story of your wedding day.

My editing style might surprise you, especially considering how much I love landscapes and outdoor photography.

While I love shooting in nature, I tend to keep greens softer and slightly desaturated rather than bright and vibrant. My editing style focuses on golden tones, natural light, and emotional storytelling.

I photograph moments as they happen rather than creating or directing them, which keeps everything authentic and natural. Capturing you, being yourself and the connection you have with each other.

My wedding films follow the same storytelling style as my photography, often with even more movement — walking, hands brushing together, dresses flowing, and real moments unfolding naturally. The result is an emotive and romantic film that tells the story of your day from my creative perspective.

"From the moment we got in touch with Hannah, to receiving our Gallery, we were amazed with her enthusiasm and friendly approach to us as a couple. We only had Hannah capture a small amount of our day, but the results were incredible. The best quality, yet most natural photos we could have ever wished for. Hannah is so kind, sweet and makes you feel so comfortable, that you forget you’re even having your photos taken! She was the best decision we made for our day!"
