Hannah is a one-of-a-kind professional. My wife and I were married in September 2013, and we began looking for a photographer to shoot our Jackson wedding at the beginning of the year. We're both avid travelers and we grew up reading National Geographic; we found each other mostly due to that shared passion. As such, we hoped to find a photographer who could capture our wedding with a sort of travel/documentary style. Initially, we didn't think such a thing would be possible. But as it turns out, we found Hannah's work through Google and we immediately knew that she was the only option for us. (And of course, it helps that her work has been published in Nat Geo!) We scheduled a meet-and-greet in preparation for our September wedding. We had already been perusing her work for weeks before and there was never really any doubt that she was the only one for the job -- as a matter of fact, we didn't even bother to pursue other photographers. We finally met up with her in a little tea shop in downtown Jackson in late January, and we were sold from the second she walked through the door. She came impeccably prepared with binder after binder of sample photography from previous weddings and from her travels throughout the world, and it was immediately obvious that both her personality and her professional experience were simply perfect. Oh, and as it turns out, she was a former Olympic skier. Seriously. But that was just icing on the cake -- we booked her as soon as we returned home, and that was that. Throughout the rest of the year until our wedding, she routinely touched base to get our input and to ensure that everything was proceeding accordingly. Throughout those discussions and planning, she never skipped a beat and there were zero issues whatsoever. As the day of our wedding finally arrived, things could not have gone smoother. From beginning to end, Hannah was cool as a cucumber and, quite frankly, we wish she could have simply been a guest so she could have hung out with us all day. Things could not have gone smoother. She's astonishingly laid-back, and her humor and personality were a huge part of our enjoyment that day. As we soon found out, she captured our wedding above and beyond even our wildest dreams. We had a small number of shots that we were specifically looking for but for the most part we wanted her to dictate the vast majority of wedding shots -- and I think that was possibly the best decision we made. So here we sit, almost three years later, still marveling at Hannah's contribution to our wedding. Every single shot was captivating and her work perfectly reflected our own personal style. If we had it to do over again, there is NOTHING that we would change. There's no hyperbole when I say things could not have gone better, and that, to this day, we're still absolutely thrilled with how well she documented our wedding. We were enamored with her personality and creative vision from day one, and working with her was simply a sublime experience! I cannot underestimate how appreciative we are to her! read more

When we made the choice to have a private, family-only wedding, we decided that the one thing we did want was a good photographer. A quick search reveals no shortage in the area of wedding photographers, but I was drawn immediately to the quality of Hannah's photography. Her work seemed to capture the spirit of the moment better than any other that I saw, so we reached out to her about potentially photographing our wedding. Communications with Hannah went very well, and she had the vibe of an old-school Jackson resident. I grew up in the area and pine for the old vibes of Jackson, laid-back but achieving at a high level. Hannah embodies this ideal both in her work and her character. We were married on my family's property up north, and by the time Hannah showed up she had already scouted several nearby locations for portraits and candid shots. I cannot stress how easygoing yet professional she was. As we were performing our ceremony, Hannah blended in to the background, doing great work at a high level while my new bride and I buzzed with love for each other. We then went on a quick drive for photos in the surrounding landscape, and although it was just my bride, myself, and Hannah, it felt very natural sharing the private moment with a third party who I just met. She had great direction for the portraits and help keep us smiling and glowing. As great as she is in person and as easy as she is to work with, the end product is even better. Hannah managed to capture the spirit of the event and of each person involved in a manner I did not imagine possible. My wife looked as radiant on film as she had in person. My nieces and nephew glowed with exuberance. Even the forests and mountains around us seemed to swell with joy in the photos. The photos prove a worthy document of the best day of my life, and that is thanks to Hannah's professionalism and wonderful spirit. I am grateful that we were able to work with her and I will always treasure the fruits of our partnership. read more

My family and I can't say enough about how wonderful Hannah is. Her work is absolutely beautiful and natural, and her approach and demeanor makes us all feel so comfortable. Hannah traveled to Napa, CA to shoot our wedding in 2015, and she had an instant read on the space, the light, and all the various personalities. My husband and I are a bit awkward in front of a camera, and she really has the nicest way of making us feel comfortable and not cheesy. She had to organize very large family photos as well, and she was able to get everyone where they needed to be in such a graceful and calm way. It made the whole experience fun and stress-free. She executes a vision without being intrusive and lets the real experience unfold. The results were amazing. From people who are a bit camera shy, we found choosing photos so difficult because we loved them all. She captured the feeling of the day so perfectly, had gorgeous detailed images and stunning backdrops, and made us look our best and still 100% ourselves. The end product of our album, fine art quality prints, and more are things we'll cherish forever. We have since worked with Hannah on portrait sessions for our growing family, and we hope she'll be our family photographer for years to come. An added note that Hannah is amazing at not only wrangling adults but kids as well, pulling out their natural smiles and laughs to capture these perfect moments. Hannah makes the experience so enjoyable with the most beautiful photographs to treasure - I couldn't ask for more. read more

My daughter got married in Sept 2016 for a destination wedding and we chose Hannah to capture this breathtaking setting and the most important day in my daughter's life. Hannah started off with our 40 person party floating down the Snake River and took so many amazing fun candid shots of the guest and the most amazing scenery along the way. The dinner at AJ's boat camp was amazing on the river bank and the sunset pictures with the Tetons backdrop, I have since made to canvas prints and they look like real paintings, incredible. The wedding day brought us more unbelievable photos of the entire day. She was there when we were getting ready and took some really artistic styled pictures. All the little things Hannah seemed to capture like the slight breeze that blew her veil in the wind while walking through the aspens. The reception pictures in the evening were too much fun.....Hannah is such a sweet person, so talented and interesting. Everyone felt after the 2 days together she was just one of our very close knit family and friends, everyone loved her. I don't think I can say anything more than the photos that we received had everyone reliving those amazing few days and the sheer beauty of it all but most importantly captured the love that my daughter Elizabeth and her husband Nick have for one another.

I have nothing but praise for Hannah Hardaway Photography! My husband and I were so lucky to have had Hannah as the photographer for our elopement ceremony. She did an amazing job...our photos turned out beautifully! Her shots are more candid and personal than the typical posed shots you often see for weddings, resulting in much more intimate and artful photos. Not only is Hannah very talented, but she is also extremely personable, very professional, and her rates are more than fair, especially considering her location in Jackson, Wyoming, where the cost of many services tend to be inflated due to the wealthier clientele base. She made us feel very comfortable right away as well so we weren't so stiff or awkward during the shoot as we might have been with someone less friendly. She is a delightful person! Hannah went out of her way to shoot our elopement...our ceremony location was not particularly close or easy to get to...and we were so grateful to find someone willing to do what she could to capture our special day. We loved Hannah's work so much that we hired her to shoot our newborn photos as well. We just got them back and they are incredibly sweet and lovely! read more

My wife and I married in Jackson Hole in September 2016. Hannah was our photographer and she did an AMAZING job! Despite a passing storm that brought cloud cover and rain, Hannah managed to get the incredible pictures we were hoping for. She is gifted at what she does. Following the wedding ceremony in the park and on the way to our reception at a local hotel, Hannah had us stop at a location on the side of the road overlooking the Teton mountains. The storm had broken, revealing a picturesque mountain view with snowcapped peaks accented by swirling clouds. One of those pictures hangs on our living room wall and I am looking at it while I write this review. It is simply incredible. Additionally, Hannah was able to provide us with recommendations for other aspects of the wedding while we were still in the 'planning stages'. She is very knowledgeable of the Jackson Hole area and works with many of the wedding planners, bakers, florists, officiants, etc in the area. Her recommendations helped us have the wedding of our dreams. If you are planning a wedding in Jackson Hole, go with Hannah Hardaway. My wife and I are very happy with her work and we know you will be too! read more

When my husband and I decided to have a small family-only wedding, we knew we wanted to find a photographer that would be able to capture the love we have for each other, the natural beauty of our family's homestead in Jackson, and especially capture those candid moments we could share with our family and friends. In our first meeting with Hannah, I knew we had found the perfect photographer. She took time to listen and understand what was most important to us and we immediately felt comfortable with her - like an old friend, not somebody we were just meeting on the phone for the first time. Well, that continued through our work with her and the day of the wedding - Hannah nailed it! She had even scoped some spots our couples photos that turned out to be phenomenal. All of our photos are spectacular; we get many compliments about how much emotion and feeling is portrayed in the shots. She's creative, professional, and has such a passion for her work that really shines through when you meet her. I would highly recommend Hannah Hardaway Photography and feel so lucky we had the opportunity to work with her! read more

My wife and I got married in 2016, and we count ourselves extremely fortunate to have had Hannah with us on the big day. She is a gifted photographer, as we learned when we received the huge batch of beautiful and expertly edited photos. Not knowing much about photography myself, I was very impressed how she managed to capture the spirit of the event--both the joy and exhilaration of the celebration, as well as the small and quiet moments behind the scenes. This takes a sensitive and well-trained eye, and somehow she accomplished it while putting everyone at ease with her subtle and kind demeanor. One thing that I hadn't anticipated was how she captured all kinds of interactions and moments that my wife and I hadn't been around for, or hadn't remembered--flipping through the photos later ended up giving us a new and even richer perspective on the day. The whole thing zipped by in a heartbeat, and we're so grateful that Hannah was there to document it. We'll treasure the photos that she took for our whole lives. read more

We knew we wanted an amazing photographer who could capture the scenic beauty of our Jackson Hole wedding and who could really tell the story of our special day. We live in Denver and had numerous Skype calls with different photographers. We knew that Hannah was "the one" as soon as we began our call with her. Hannah was calm, professional, and really seemed to get us. On our wedding day, Hannah stayed calm, cool, and collected as we were all running around for our "getting ready" shots. After our ceremony, Hannah guided everyone to ensure we got the shots that we wanted. We were really impressed with her attention to detail - she made sure that no one's face was shadowed by another, that the lighting was right, etc. She captured our beautiful backdrop of the Tetons, but made sure that we were still the focal point and the special candid moments she caught were wonderful. We would highly recommend Hannah to anyone having a wedding in the Tetons. You will love her! read more

Hannah Hardaway is an excellent photographer who is a pleasure to work with. She took many very fine photographs throughout the day of my daughter and son-in-law's wedding in Jackson Hole. The ceremony was outdoors in a steep location on a windy day and Hannah adeptly moved to different locations throughout the afternoon and evening to catch the action, including the drama during the ceremony when the script was rescued after blowing off of the terrace where the wedding was taking place. Hannah manages to keep the main subject(s) in focus in each picture. Part of what makes her work excellent is that she judiciously takes the time to thoughtfully convert certain images to black and white to draw attention to the subject or emotion of the image or when the image is better presented in black and white due to unflattering lighting in some of the situations that are unavoidable throughout the day. In any rating system, Hannah earns the highest score. read more

If I could give six stars, I would. Choosing Hannah as our wedding photographer was the first and best choice I made in planning our wedding. Long after the vows and the party, you really only have memories, photos, and a video, if you choose. I knew I wanted our photos to be timeless, beautiful, and capture the magic of the day. Hannah hit all of those marks and more. We received hundreds of beautiful photos that were not only aesthetically incredible, but also show the human, emotional elements of our day that are even more special. On top of all that, she is incredibly easy to work with and an absolute joy to have present on your big day. She is calm, fun, and gives excellent, efficient cues. I have also seen her work with families and individuals, which is amazing! if you are getting married in the Jackson area or want professional photos for any other reason, I would not hesitate to reach out to Hannah. My husband and I are so grateful for her! read more

Hannah was fabulous to work with! We were planning our Jackson wedding from NY and she really put our minds at ease! She was able to recommend the best spots with the right lighting for the afternoon, way better than anything we could have come up with. She captured such special moments on our wedding day, you would have thought we had multiple photographers because she was running around (and we didn't even realize until after)!! She was so patient with me and all my requests to have a lot of family pictures :) She was checking in the week before on everything + the day ahead so I knew she was prepared and super organized, which was amazing and beyond helpful! We are constantly getting complimented on how great our photos are + my family loved her and can't believe how well she was able to wrangle everyone! Hannah is really professional and the best photographer you could ask for! read more

As mother of the bride, I can say that Hannah was an absolute delight. She is talented, knowledgeable about Jackson and its people, and seamlessly executes her work. My daughter was raised in Jackson but lives out of town and found Hannah to be accessible, informative and fun. Hannah put all of us at ease knowing that she was prepared and would be a team player on the day of the wedding. She also captured the spirit of the day in a way that feels unique. She 'got' the bride and groom and her photos reflect that. You can only take so many pictures of the Tetons but Hannah's shots feel personal and connected the couple to the grandeur of their surroundings. Plus, we have some action shots of the reception that are priceless and hysterical. The couple's spirit and personality resonate. We will cherish this day forever and Hannah's photographs will provide us with lasting memories. read more

I have used Hannah twice now to capture major life milestones with the Tetons as a backdrop. Our first experience was a "honeymoon" photoshoot. My husband and I both tend to dislike the process of having our photo taken; however, Hannah made us both feel comfortable immediately. The time with her flew by and the gallery we were left with was utterly breathtaking (even with the mountains muted by wildfire smoke!). We adored her so much that one year later, we hired her again for my maternity photoshoot during a family vacation in the area. Her great personality is matched by her talent and her eye. Additionally, her knowledge of the area is a great resource when choosing locations. We absolutely adore Hannah and hope to use her in the future as we continue to visit our beloved Driggs to capture all of our big life moments! read more

We are a local Jackson couple that scoured all the local options before deciding on Hannah. We really loved her style and aesthetic and the price was right! Can't beat that. We wanted to have our wedding outside to experience the beautiful place we call home. Just one problem, we did it in January when the temps were in the negatives. That didn't deter Hannah one bit. She came prepared to shoot in the freezing conditions with a great attitude and worked quickly with the wedding party and family to get beautiful winter shots quickly so every one didn't have to wait around freezing in the cold. We highly recommend Hannah to capture the joy of your wedding day that gives you all the feels, but also captures all those unique moments you never see. Thanks again Hannah! Josh + Kjera read more

When picking a photographer it was important to us to work with someone that fit our personality styles. Hannah exceeded all of those expectations. Not only is she extremely professional, but she is fun to work with and be around as well. Hannah's pictures really are a testament to her personality and being able to capture truly unique and natural moments between my husband and I. She gave us just enough directions to capture remarkable photos, but not enough directions that the pictures looked unnatural. At the time, we decided not to have Hannah come to our rehearsal dinner and now we wish she was the there. The way that she is able to tell a story of the day or evening with her photographs is truly amazing. We couldn't be happier. read more

Besides the ring on your finger and your love by your side, your photos from your wedding are your best reminder of that beautiful day. We are so so thankful that we chose Hannah Hardaway Photography for our daughters wedding in Grand Teton National Park this past June. First, she was so friendly and professional and so available to answer any questions before the big day and she took the photos my daughter wanted. Also, she is just so familiar with Wyoming and especially in the Tetons and took just fabulous photos and knew exactly where to go to capture the best scenery. Our family absolutely loved working with Hannah and she was nearly eight months pregnant (!) and just had so much energy. Five stars aren't enough! read more

Hannah was great! I am so happy we went with her for our wedding photography, and definitely recommend her to others. We had a destination wedding in Jackson Hole so much of our correspondence was email and phone chats. She asked all the right questions to help us think through what photos were most important to us and quickly get through them so we could enjoy our reception. She was also very agile when it started to rain during our outdoor ceremony and reception. Our wedding day was a challenge at best with the rain, wind and finally the sun. She captured some unforgettable moments during the ceremony as well as on the dance floor. I LOVE looking through our photos and reliving the day through Hannah's photos. read more

I can't thank Hannah enough for both her stunning, creative artistry and her genuine ability to see a person for who they are. I worked with Hannah on photos for my yoga brand, and her calm, cheerful, encouraging disposition produced these incredible shots that I truly love. I feel Hannah captured my essence. I am so grateful to have these shots both to use professionally but also just as keepsakes of life here in Jackson. They also work beautifully with the aesthetic of my brand, and she went to great lengths to capture a diverse range of shots and subject matter so that I would be incredibly well set up for all my future needs and goals. She is a wonderful photographer and an even more wonderful person!! read more
