If you’re looking for a photographer who truly understands and captures your vision, look no further than Hannah from Hanna Walkowaik Photography. From start to finish, Hannah and her team delivered an experience beyond our wildest expectations.

For part of our portrait shots we wanted to highlight the vibrant street art in Pilsen—a neighborhood close to our hearts—and Hannah not only embraced our idea but brought it to life. Her ability to translate our vision into breathtaking images was nothing short of magical. Working with Hannah was a breeze. She has a fantastic way of making everyone feel at ease, and our friends absolutely loved her. Her second photographer, Jake, was a superstar at our rehearsal dinner. He even made sure to get photos of a hilarious moment when we had the staff bring out a birthday steak for one of our groomsmen. I am so glad we have those photos to look back on.

A special shoutout to Hannah is due for how she captured our stop at a local restaurant for tacos and tequila with our bridal party. She didn’t just document the event; she captured the entire vibe, including the amused expressions of other patrons at the restaurant.

We also can’t forget our engagement session, which was an absolute blast. From leaping into the lake to riding a gigantic unicorn floaty and braving the beach waves, Hannah was up for every adventurous and fun moment. Her willingness to embrace the quirky and unconventional made the photoshoot unforgettable.

Hannah from Hanna Walkowaik Photography is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to work with. Her creativity, enthusiasm, and ability to capture genuine moments make her an exceptional choice for any occasion. We couldn’t be happier with the results and are so grateful for the memories she helped us create.

My (now) husband and I hired Hanna for her distinct style: think Vogue, editorial, timeless. Hanna shot our wedding day in digital and in film; her editing style masterfully and seamlessly marries the 2 mediums together. She exceeded our already high expectations and gave us ART that belongs in a museum or gallery. While the artsy, abstract photos are my personal favorite, our family and friends cannot stop raving about the candid images she and her 2nd shooter (we had Jake on our wedding day) got throughout the day. As the bride and groom, you will be pulled in a million different directions on the big day and will inevitably miss a lot of small moments with your guests. However, having these photos to look back on makes us feel like we didn’t miss anything. Our wedding gallery is nothing short of a time travel machine that takes us back to our favorite day with our favorite people.

Now, onto what it’s like to work with Hanna. Let’s put it this way: I’d trust Hanna with my life. Hanna became my de-facto timekeeper on our wedding day. She kept me and my rowdy friends on time without making it feel like we were on a schedule. In fact, Hanna kept the vibes going even when she’s working hard behind the camera. As the bride/groom, you will be spending your entire day with your photographer - might as well find someone fun!!! She also remembered and made time for the smallest requests I had during our planning call: pics of my friends and I jamming around the piano and architecture shots. Those became some of my most treasured photos.

In short, Hanna was a dream photographer to work with. 10/10.

If you find that Hanna is available on your wedding day then you should absolutely book her! She is incredibly talented and is such a kind person! I can’t imagine what our photos would have looked like without her! We have already printed and hung them in our house! We will forever cherish these photos! Thank you so much Hanna for your work!

I cannot recommend Hanna enough!! We are speechless over our photos!!! Every single one is better than the next! I seriously don't know she does it! I've looked at our wedding gallery probably 100 times and every time I fall more in love with the photos and cry over how absolutely perfect they are! She has a true gift for capturing every single moment! During our initial consultation I shared that we wanted true to life photos so we could look back and feel the emotions of the day and let me tell you, I AM FEELING ALL OF THE EMOTIONS!!!! I didn't think it was possible to have photos that evoke so much happiness!! Not only is she an amazing photographer (we also had her take our engagement photos and they are so dreamy!) but also the coolest human and she'll make you feel so at ease in front of the camera!!

We had the best experience ever doing our engagement shoot in DTLA with Hanna. She knows a lot of incredible spots to shoot in Los Angeles, but we opted to do ours in a studio. She has such a dynamic style and really helped guide us into getting the most unique, striking, and specific photos ever. If you're getting engaged or married in Southern California, absolutely go with Hanna!

I cannot recommend Hanna enough, you NEED to work with her!!!! I knew that I wanted my pictures to be perfect, all I heard was that they day will fly by and you won't even remember it. Hanna captured my day in a way that I will quite literally never forget it. Working with her through this entire process has been so amazing. She had such amazing knowledge and suggestions on locations for the engagement shoot and for the wedding photos. I am terrible with places and just described the overall vibes I wanted and she picked the PERFECT places. You book things so early on in the process and Hanna was great about checking in, always letting me know she was there, and making sure that we would have the best day. We worked together to draft the perfect list of photos I wanted, she made sure every single one got done, and made it fun. I cannot stop grinning at my phone just constantly scrolling through all of the pictures. She captured every single ounce of joy that day and made David and I look so much cooler than we actually are, I swear. I’m obsessed with every single picture and am going to bombard every single social media I have with all of these incredible photos. I know things add up and can get expensive, but Hanna was worth every cent and more. I truly cannot put a price on all of the beautiful memories I have from the best day of my life, and I have Hanna to thank for them!!!

Cannot speak highly enough of Hanna, both her photographs and working with her! She was an absolute joy to have by our side for our wedding day and made us feel so comfortable in our own skin which is such an important skill when you aren't used to being in front of her camera. She has an eye for the best backgrounds. She can document your day in so many styles- I love having artsy photos, photos with different filters to make cool effects, film, photojournalism style, you name it she can do it for you! She provided an insane number of photos and we have at least 20+ favorites so the value of her services and fees is top notch. Everyone I show the photos to is in awe!! Hanna was definitely one of the best choices we made for our wedding. She went above and beyond our hopes.

HANNAH IS AMAZING AT WHAT SHE DOES! She truly has an unbelievable talent and I would recommend her over and over again. She photographed our engagement session and wedding day, and I am IN AWE every time I look at the photos. She is so easy to work with due to her professionalism, organization, strong communication, easygoing attitude, and pure love of what she does. You can literally watch her creative process come to life in person with you and it then shows through her photos. She makes you feel at ease and enjoy the process of your special moments. Our photographer was the most important vendor to me on our wedding day and Hannah met every mark. Having the opportunity to work with her would be the best decision you make!!

Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Hanna and her absolutely incredible work. I found Hanna through a facebook group, I saw someone post their wedding photos that Hanna had taken and just knew I had to work with her. After seeing how it all turned out, it was beyond my wildest expectations! We are beyond obsessed with the photos of our wedding - there are so many incredible ones I don't know how we're ever going to pick favorites!! Everyone I show our photos says they belong in a magazine because they are just that incredible. Beyond all of that, she is seriously the nicest person, makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and goes above and beyond!

1000/10 would recommend working with Hanna!!

Hannah is literally the BEST!!! As a person who considers themselves very unphotogenic, Hannah made me (and my husband!) feel so beautiful and comfortable. We opted for an elopement photography session after our court house wedding and she scouted the perfect locations and guided us through posing that felt natural and very us. Truly, she is the best money we spent for our small affair!! Could not recommend her more.

She is also a queen with film!!
