Hana Laurie Alternative Wedding Photography Full Description
If you’re looking for natural photography which seamlessly fits into your day, I’m your gal. I specialise in photography which captures the vibe; emotional, hilarious, true and a bit silly. It’ll not feel like you’ve been dragged about for amazing photos, but rather that you’ve had an incredible day with your friends and family. I’ve done it all and more: 🐴 Hung out with a donkey serving champagne 🥺 Cried in the ceremony/speeches 🌂 Sheltered folks with brollies 🌳 Climbed a tree for photos I’ve even driven Mums to the ceremony…! So there we are, if you want a friend and a guest rather than a photographer who is going to feel like you employed them... get in touch :) I'm dying to hear what you've got planned :)

Perfectly captured moments to look back on

Hana's friendly and relaxed approach makes it so easy to be yourself when being photographed. She captures moments you're not aware of and creates photos that bring so much joy.

Wonderful relaxed photographer which helped us relax

We had Hana as our wedding photographer in March 2017. She was happy to discuss what we wanted and made us feel like we were the only wedding she was dealing with during the lead up to the wedding. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone getting married and not wanting a ‘stuffy’ photographer on the day. She even gave an extra hand when my daughter was lacing up my dress! So helps in any way she can.

Amazing Photographer

This woman is the most fun bubbly and wonderful photographer I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Unfortunately I can speak from experience as our wedding is next year BUT, she has always responded to my emails promptly, met us for a beer and talked though the whole process of the day with us. Tailored our package to suit our needs perfectly and is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, she has taken away the stress of the day already, just knowing she will sway kiddies with sweeties and get grandmas dancing has made me feel that my wedding photos will be BOMB

Exactly what we needed - recommend!

Hana photographed our wedding in summer 2017 and we were so pleased with her work, both on the day and when we saw the results afterwards. She is very good at putting people at ease, which we really appreciated, and guests commented on how friendly she was and how she mingled and had a laugh with them. I think that's key to how she captured many natural shots of people, on top of the usual posed group photos. We love being able to look back on all these moments we missed at the time because lets be honest, the day just whirls by in a blur when you're in it. Hana went above and beyond the call of duty and is enthusiastic, personable, and professional. We totally trusted her and would definitely recommend.

Hana's photos are stunning.

Choosing Hana for our wedding was one of the easiest decisions we made. She is fun, personable and experienced. We had a great engagement shoot which meant on the day we were already relaxed in front of the camera. On the big day, Hana was with the girls early and stayed until late in the evening with the photobooth. She was able to make us all feel relaxed and shared our excitement over the details like flowers and dressing gowns! There was certainly lots of laughter. Hana was also able to boss everyone around to get the group shots we wanted- not easy when it was like herding cats!! Hana's photos are stunning. They totally capture our personalities and how we feel about each other as a couple. I look forward to asking Hana to photograph more milestones in mine and my husbands lives.

...by far the best out of any we have seen!

Hana was recommended to us by a relative to photograph our wedding and we weren't sure what to expect having seen various photographers at weddings we have been to this year, however Hana was by far the best out of any we have seen! She was so creative with her photos and made everyone feel completely relaxed and comfortable which made the photos that much better! She was the perfect combination of professional and fun and we couldn't rate her highly enough! Thank you again Hana! X Mr & Mrs Whicker! X

Hana was a brilliant find...

Hana was a brilliant find - in the lead up to the wedding she was really friendly and really flexible in accommodating our needs and requests. On the day she was brilliant - she expertly got all the shots she needed and the ones we wanted. And the delivered product is fantastic - we loved the photos and the subsequent album she produced for us. We also booked our photobooth with Hana and that was also great - run really efficiently and great fun. We loved checking out in the morning and having our photobooth book and a USB with all the pics :) she has been a pleasure to deal with - really friendly and lovely and we'd highly recommend her services! Thanks again Laura and Daniel Lucas

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Oh man, they're all good in their different ways but probably the most memorable was the worst one! I'll tell... but only over gin. It's was a comedy of errors and alls well that ends well!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Colourful, natural, funny, real, genuine

What about your business are you most proud of?

It's mine, and I've grown it myself with support from people in my life... but it's a reflection of me and what I love and that's cool! #humblebrag

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Pay attention to yourselves and your personalities and your loves. Pour those into your day and have nothing for other people if you aren't comfortable doing so!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Gosh... there's been loads. It's probably different year to year, but 2017s was probably the beaded bird wedding dress and influx of unusual bird feathers in centrepieces by the bride who is a keeper at Birdworld. Gorgeous.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Ooh I say hello, and then probably rattle off a load of thoughts that are in the front of my brain and then apologise for them. Then I'll ask you what on EARTH is going on for your wedding, listen, get excited about it and then dream aloud about how cool it's going to look. I love to meet for an hour over tea/beers just to chat and get comfy. I can offer preshoots if you want to go hang out again, then I rob you of all your hard earned cash and deliver your wedding back to you exactly as it was in photoform.

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Hm. For a natural and relaxed photographer I'm going to go a bit leftfield here... the family/friends ones. The boring ones that you can't drink and chat through. The few groups. They're not for now, they're for in 15+ years when people aren't with us anymore. It's super important and not something you'll easily get another time! No sense in regret for the sake of 20 minutes!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

A bouquet toss from a JCB crane. It was AWESOME.

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Umbrellas (I have two), being relaxed about the fact you live in Britain and duh of course it's raining!

Describe how you got into photography.

I can't draw! Ha. I'm pretty creative and I love to create memories. Photography is for the future more than it is for now.
