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!
