I might be your photographer if...
When hiring a photographer, you are literally giving a stranger a front row seat to some of your most intimate and vulnerable moments. My best advice: make sure you love, trust, and genuinely ENJOY being around that person! It's not simply about a beautiful final product- you deserve to love every ounce of the entire process, from start to finish!
You deserve an experience you're freakin' obsessed with
- Mary C.
Having a wedding photographer that is so approachable, extremely talented, and you can fully rely on was a dream come true. For anyone that's a bit Type-A, it can be hard to give up control on your wedding day, but it was easy to let Hannah take charge. I knew anything she was involved with would be perfect!
“The way she makes everyone instantly at ease is such a comforting, happy energy to have around on your wedding day!”
- Tierra B.
Hannah is not just a wedding photographer. She invests her heart and soul into the industry and dedicates herself to each couple (I'd like to say it was just to my husband and me, but I know that's not the truth) She genuinely cares so deeply about each and every love story she's a part of.
“My husband and I equally agree that our investment- emotionally and financially- was worth all the hype.”
- Hannah O.
She truly took time to get to know my husband and I as friends first and clients second. Hannah was invested in our story, interests, and what made us... well, us! That truly sold me on her as a person and a professional. It wasn't as though I was entering a business relationship, but more so starting a new friendship.
“Hannah is truly one of the most upbeat, organized, & caring people you will ever meet- with amazing talent behind her camera!”

Q: DO YOU TRAVEL OUTSIDE WNY FOR SESSIONS AND WEDDINGS?
A: The cameras I use are equipped with two memory card slots, meaning every image I take is automatically double-written into two locations! Upon uploading your images, I save them on to two separate solid-state hard drives. While editing, one copy of all the RAW files is kept in a fire-proof safe, just in case! Your final edits are exported & saved on both hard drives, while also being uploaded to cloud storage via your online gallery!
Q: HOW DO YOU PROTECT MY IMAGES FROM BEING DAMAGED/LOST?
A: Honestly, a healthy mix of both documentative and fine art... which essentially means there will be moments on a wedding day or during a session where I capture images as they authentically happen, with little to no interference. At the same time, I will never pass up the opportunity to style an amazing magazine-worthy portrait, and truly enjoy utilizing an intricate posing workflow that helps ensure couples, groups, and families feel more comfortable being photographed!
Q: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR Shooting STYLE?
A: For every event, I bring a non-shooting assistant to work alongside me! Most commonly, it's Lindsey, the backbone & unsung hero of Hannah Bryerton Photography since 2020. As my assistant, Lindsey helps manage all the photographic equipment, takes intricate care of our couples, organizes family formal groupings, and keeps our timeline perfectly in order!
If you opt to include a second shooter in your wedding collection, I choose to hire another consummate, full-time professional photographer to help document your day! It's never the same person, but I do have a handful of go-to, wildly-talented friends I love and deeply trust!
Q: WHO IS YOUR ASSISTANT/SECOND SHOOTER ON WEDDING DAYS?
A: I actually started this sweet journey while I was in college! I documented my very first wedding in 2011 (not well, I should add) and worked part-time in this career until 2015. Despite obtaining a degree in business marketing, I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I went all in on this business just after graduating, and have since captured over 150 wedding days and countless portrait sessions! I still have to pinch myself regularly that this is actually my job!
Q: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A PHOTOGRAPHER?
A: Two things are required to officially lock-in your booking! First is a formal contract signing. This can be completed seamlessly online via my client management system. I email you a contract to review, you e-sign it, and I do the same on my end!
Secondly, a non-refundable retainer fee is required to hold your date on my calendar. This essentially says "hey, this photographer is not allowed to book any other events or obligations on X/X/XX because I paid for dibs on it!" Your booking is ONLY complete once the contract and retainer fee are both submitted! That's what makes us officially-official!
Q: What locks in My session or wedding Date on your calendar?
A: For the sake of time and everyone's sanity: my answer is yes. DEFINITELY invest in the day-of coordination if you value your wedding day experience and mental well-being. And if you want to really enjoy the planning process, hire a full planner! A good planner will make your life so much easier and are truly worth their weight in gold.
Fair warning: some venues will say they have an on-site coordinator, but typically their job to manage the venue itself, not all the personalized logistics. I've never met a couple who said they regretted coordination services, but I have encountered countless who only wished they had made the investment!
Q: DO I REALLY NEED A WEDDING PLANNER OR DAY-OF COORDINATOR?
A: Personally, I do not. And it's primarily for two reasons: Firstly, RAW images are incredibly large files that require specific software to view and alter. If you don't have experience working with RAW images and specific editing programs, the files are basically just oversized, data-filled, memory-eaters on your computer.
2. The unedited files are simply step one of the final product. I shoot with very intricate intention, keeping my entire post-process in mind! I have mastered using a personalized preset and utilize color correction to ensure images are cohesive with my editing style. Asking for RAW files is basically like asking a bakery to just give you the batter before the cake is even baked & decorated. A huge chunk of the magic lies in the post-process!
Q: DO YOU EVER GIVE OUT UNEDITED/RAW IMAGES?
A: I genuinely believe that each couple's investment warrants an extreme level of attention to detail and intricate planning that I can ONLY provide if I'm not spreading myself too thin. As a business owner, it is my goal to make every couple feel like a priority while planning for one of the greatest days of their lives together. Of course documenting beautiful images is the ultimate goal! But it takes so much intentional time to build relationships and be able to give every client the experience they deserve!
