    Free-spirited professional full of innovation and fun!

    Hannah is such a talented professional; full of creativity and adventure! She was easily able to understand our unique style and capture our special day with a level of perfection that we will never forget! We allowed Hannah the free ability to use her artistic talents in any way she chose and were beyond satisfied with the result. What a fun, beautiful soul! We look forward to many more photo shoots with this thoughtful, innovative, true photographer!

    Extremely talented & genuine

    We fell in love with Hannah’s photos and her style from her portfolio. When we met her for engagement pictures? We had so much fun! She was great with communicating, calmed my nerves about the weather (she even stayed with us a little longer than normal). It was incredible.
    She was so sweet leading up to the wedding! We messaged periodically, she helped guide us to other vendors for our wedding and just felt like a friend the entire time!
    During our wedding, she kept us on schedule and moving, captured every picture we had asked for. When we got to the reception, she fixed my hair as it fell, had Bobby pins at the ready for a couple of my bridesmaids, even helped me take my shoes off. This woman is so much more than we could’ve expected and became a friend more than anything else by the end of the night! Book here ASAP!

    Amazing and Easy to Work With

    Hannah was amazing and so easy to work with! We love our engagement and wedding photographs that perfectly captured our special moments. Throughout the entire process, she was so easy to work with and helpful. We loved all of the little touches she gave. We even got our pictures back earlier than we expected. The hard part will be picking which of the many wonderful photos to proudly display for our many years to come.

    Absolutely Wonderful

    Hannah did an absolutely wonderful job capturing our wedding day. From the start she was reaching out and helping guide me in every direction of the wedding process. She is so flexible and worked so well with our videographer. Hannah has an eye for photography and just flows with it when it rains in the middle of pictures and a bird decides to stop in and join the photo session! Your wedding day can be stressful when you have to make sure everything is in order but having Hannah as a photographer completely relieves you of every worry when it comes to capturing the day. We received all of photos quickly after the wedding and will cherish them for many years to come. I promise she will bring so much joy and creativity to your special day!

    Hannah Schafer is wonderful photographer!

    Hannah was a wonderful photographer to work with! Her flexibility, attitude, and all around professionalism made my wedding day run smooth and flawless. Hannah traveled to all locations asked and always had a bright and warming smile on her face. I truly believe she is one of the best photographers I have ever had the chance to work with. She captured the every special moment of my wedding day that I get to cherish and remember for the rest of my life. I would love the opportunity to work with her again.

    Hannah is absolutely fantastic. I'm so glad she was my photographer for my wedding. She responded so quickly to all of my facebook messages. She talked me through some wedding stress. I loved having her there on my wedding day. She was so helpful. She's friendly, easy to get along with, and listens to what you want. My pictures turned out phenomenal! I love every single one! I recommend her to everyone!

    Hannah was great to work with. She was at the venue in a timely manner. Throughout the whole planning process she emailed me and asked me how me and my husband was doing and if we had any questions or concerns. She provided us with ideas for the wedding as well. The day of wedding she was very helpful. She assisted me and all 9 of my bridesmaids in getting dress. She also kept me calm the day of the wedding. She toom pictures of everything we asked her to. She was wonderful and after the wedding she sent us a card. I would recommend her!

    I am SOO glad that we picked HJS Photography for our wedding day! Hannah has such a creative eye and every photo we received is amazing. You can truly tell that she loves her job and she worked so well with my entire wedding party, including the kids! She even got our photos to us earlier than expected and there are so many to choose from!

    Great value + great photos = fantastic experience!

    Hannah's work ethic, professional demeanor and top notch equipment mixed with her creativity & joy-filled personality is something you might only find in Chicago or NYC.


    She is my family's "go-to" photographer when we want THE BEST images; keepsakes, the one's you'll put on a photo book and pass on to your kids. Take this recomendation seriously, Sure, Aunt Louis or you cousin Bill has a camera but don't trust them or the "wanna be" photographer that offers some super cheap deal. Photography is not just a product - but also a service and HJS will super-exceed your highest expectations. She will over deliver and your mind will be blown with her creativity. She'll get every shot you can imagine, and more. Hands down, HJS is the best Photographer in the mid-west. 5 Stars.

    Hannah made me feel at ease from the moment I contacted her, to the day of our wedding. She was always quick to respond to any questions I had. She gave me such beautiful memories of our day, the first looks are definitely my favorite. I loved that she was professional without being stand-offish( I talked to a couple that made me feel undeserving because I didn't have 5000+ to spend. ) She also made sure I ate and stayed hydrated, such a little thing that really showed she cared about us.

    HJS Photography photographed our wedding last May and was amazing to work with! She handled our 22 person Bridal Party like a champ. She took beautiful pictures that I absolutely LOVE! I had my pictures back in 2 weeks after my wedding, it was so quick! I would highly recommend Hannah if you are looking for an affordable, high quality, and awesome photographer!

    Hannah was the best. She was so flexible too. It ended up being freezing on our wedding day and she adjusted to these circumstances so well. She kept us on time throughout the whole day. We love our photographs and wouldn't recommend anyone else for wedding pictures.

    On our wedding day, it went from an outdoor wedding to an indoor. Hannah not only was flexible with helping reorganize the way we were going to do photos but she helped me maintain a level head. She is amazing! She has an eye for photography, and she is honest. She was great with our large family, helping them get organized and in place. Thank you Hannah for making our day more special!

    Wedding photographer

    Hannah went above and beyond for us. Helping to plan the layout of the entire day, decreasing my stress, organizing the flow before and during the event/making phone calls as needed, and taking the most beautiful pictures is nothing short of amazing. I’m so happy to have found such a hard-working, down to earth, and passionate photographer who ensured my day ran as smoothly as possible. The wedding would not have functioned very well without her guidance. So thrilled and honored to have worked with Hannah! Can’t wait to utilize her in the future.

    Hannah's personality and calm demeanor are great assets to have as a wedding photographer. We corresponded via email and I only met her on my wedding day. Everything went smoothly and she took great photos - especially the private photos after the ceremony. Only comment is that it would be nice if she took more "artsy" / "instagram-worthy" photos and played with angles, lighting and focus. However, I love every photo she made and can't wait to get them printed and hanging on our walls! I would recommend Hannah to anyone.
