    Subtle Genius

    Our experience with Bradley Hanson was exactly what we had sought out for our wedding. Besides being a perfect gentleman and a calm presence on our stressful excitable day, it was as if he disappeared into the rays of sun and captured the best moments of our day without barely even being noticed. His photos delicately but most ardently tell the story of our day, the hidden moments in between, and we are overwhelmed with joy and the love we see in each shot. Bradley’s unique vision for variety, use of lighting and photographic intent are unparalleled.

    Amazingly creative photographer!

    Bradley was great! He remained very professional throughout the entire day and evening, and captured amazing shots of the ceremony and reception. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

    Glad we interviewd the 4th Photographer, for he was our choice...

    Working with Bradley was truly a wonderful experience! I don't love getting my picture taken, however, since our initial meeting I felt comfortable around him and was surprised at how little of concern I had about getting my picture taken by him.

    He's like the Wayne Gretzky of photography; he goes where the moment is and captures it ever so naturally. He has a true passion for his art. It's not just a job to him as one can see in the work he creates. There is a sincerity to his photos that will be cherished for years and years.

    If you're looking for a photographer chances are that Bradley Hanson is the right one for you. He's very likable, comfortable to be around and brings a sheen of professionalism in his work. I am very grateful we chose Bradley.

    One last thing I want to say is that I don't typically leave reviews. I do, however, owe it to those seeking a photographer because Bradley REALLY is that good.

    Bradley is an awesome photographer!

    We so enjoyed having Bradley as our photographer - he wanted to learn a bit about us prior to our wedding, so it felt like he knew us a little on the actual day of our wedding. He was calm and patient the day of, totally flexible, and best of all, the photos he took are gorgeous. We love them and couldn't be happier that we chose him as our wedding photographer.

    Book Him - You won't regret it!

    Bradley was absolutely amazing to work with! He captured my dream wedding exactly how I envisioned it and even more. His photography is more of an art - capturing all of the special moments in real life vs staged. Highly recommend him, you won't regret it!

    Bradley is AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. His photos are breathtaking. He floats around the event - and no one even feels him he is so quiet. Yet - he has a magical way of capturing every lovely moment. Highly highly recommend.

    We had such a great experience working with Bradley for our wedding. Seeing the finished results, I am so in love with how he captured our day. He was very accommodating and also captured the special moments of family and friends that you don't always see as the bride and groom. I cannot stop looking at the photos and the memories that we will cherish forever. Bradley had a great way of making you feel comfortable and have fun taking photos and just enjoying the day. So grateful for his work and how he captured our wedding! Truly beautiful!!

    Bradley did an amazing job of making the photos of my husband and I look magical. He captured our day beautifully. In addition, many people said our photos looked like they belonged on a magazine cover because the quality was so outstanding. No stereotypical photos from Bradley - only real moments!

    Bradley's photos are absolutely stunning and we couldn't be more thrilled with all the lovely wedding memories he captured for us. He was so lovely to work with--we'd wholeheartedly recommend him for any event, and hope to have a chance to work with him again.

    Bradley came to us through recommendation of a our original hired wedding photographer who had to cancel close to our big day due to health issues. In swoops Bradley, who took care of us as if he was our original hire! He was so easy to work with and made everyone feel at ease, and has great ability to deal with breaking the ice/ photo phobia with a fantastic sense of humor! The photos were sublime and he caught every special moment we had discussed, and then some! We are still in love with so many its hard to choose from to give as gifts or put on our walls. We cannot recommend Bradley's talented eye and good character enough!!!

    First, let me state that neither my husband nor I enjoy being photographed and struggle to find pictures of ourselves that we like. With that in mind, it was very important to us to have exactly the right photographer for our wedding, and luckily our search brought us to Bradley. He was a pleasure to work with, put us immediately at ease with his process, and documented our day in a way that perfectly captured the feel of the event. We could not be happier with the pictures, or the process, and are thrilled to have so many great pictures of ourselves, our day and our guests. I simply can not say enough good things about Bradley!

    We hired Bradley Hanson to photograph our wedding day and he did a great job of capture each moment of the day in an intimate way. He is great at candid shots throughout the day and capturing the beauty of the day. The quality of photographs was impeccable and I liked how he shot in film. I highly recommend booking him for your big day!

    I fell in love with the photos on Bradley's website but because of our small budget and less than 2 months for the wedding I didn't think we could hire him. But he was kind enough to oblige. On the day of the wedding, he was at the venue on time and even took additional photos that we hadn't planned. He has captured the vibrancy of the location and the multi-cultural wedding vividly and beautifully. We are thankful to him for so exquisitely recording our memories, that will now be hanging on our walls forever!

    Beyond Excellent

    Bradley was beyond excellent. He captured our wedding day in a way and with an eye that was so far beyond our expectations, it was almost unbelievable. His eye for detail is incredible, and he was always in the right place at exactly the right time. Some of the moments he captured are truly priceless, and I have no idea how he was able to do it so unobtrusively. I wouldn't consider anyone else for photographing our family events.

    If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will capture the day and people at their best, Bradley Hanson is the top choice. He was able to capture numerous photos of my husband and me looking happy and relaxed, and we are not good at posing for pictures! Photographs are a special reminder of your wedding day, and I've had friends who have regretted their particular photographer for their wedding. Bradley Hanson is not that photographer. He will capture heirloom quality photos that you'll be proud to pass down to your grandchildren. If you're still not convinced: My husband says he's Batman with a camera.

    I can't say enough good things about Bradley Hanson. He's prompt in responding, very communicative beforehand, and takes amazing photos. We keep looking through them saying "how did he even get all those shots?" We were so impressed. Highly recommend him to anyone, he's a total pleasure to work with.

    Bradley is awesome! He did such a great job of making us (and everybody really) feel comfortable in front of the camera. He has a kind of goofiness when he's working with an individual or group that gets people laughing and having a good time, so all of the "posed" shots that we took turned out great. He also really has an eye for catching unique moments and knows how to blend in to the background to catch that perfect candid shot. And talk about committed! We did some wedding announcement shots with him in the winter before the ceremony; it was maybe 10 degrees outside. He powered through with no gloves and, although we were worried he would freeze to death, never complained about the weather and spent a great deal of time with us getting some excellent shots. Overall, we couldn't be happier!

    The style of images I wanted back from my wedding were genuine, unique and priceless. Bradley delivered exactly that. His style captures so much more than just a picture of your happy day but a beautiful moment you never planned. Nothing was overly posed/staged (just like I wanted) and everyone looked great in them. If you are a fan of a more editorial style and an almost chiaroscuro effect, look no further.

    Bradley was undoubtedly the best choice we could have made for our wedding photographer! He has such a creative eye, and took absolutely stunning and unique photographs of our special day that we'll cherish forever. He was very easy to work with, responsive to emails, flexible when things needed to be adjusted or changed and very helpful when it came to setting up a timeline for our photos. He addressed all our concerns and listened to what we wanted and made suggestions that aligned with our taste.
    We hadn't actually had the chance to meet Bradley before our wedding day because we live out of state. He took care of everything very easily via phone and email and I was surprised how well he was able to build a relationship with us, without ever meeting us first! He even took it upon himself to visit our venue before the wedding to get a feel for the space and what he was working with. He made the photo process fun and easy. This was the first time my husband and I have ever had professional photos taken and I was worried it might be awkward, but he made it fun and painless!
    Several of my guests commented on how professionally and nice he was dressed. He wasn't distracting to any of the events we had going on, yet he was able to capture all the important moments that we wanted. A true pro! We highly recommend!

    I highly recommend Bradley Hanson as a wedding photographer. He photographed my wedding this past summer and was able to capture each moment so well. Bradley is an amazing artist and photographer who has a keen eye for capturing the detail and emotion in every moment. He is really easy to work with and very personable.
