Hey there, I’m Hannah!

I live and work out of a camper van—not for the Instagram posts, but because it lets me stay close to the places I love and the people I love working with. Living the vanlife gives me the freedom to follow the seasons, scout locations early, stay flexible, and be fully present on your elopement day without rushing off to the next thing.

I’m a go-with-the-flow kind of person who also gets shit done (I attribute this to my EMT background). I’ll keep us on track when we need to be, but I’m not rattled when plans shift (because they always do). Whether we’re hiking to a remote spot before sunrise or rolling with unexpected weather, I bring a calm energy and a clear head.

I also love working with people who don’t take themselves too seriously. If you’re down to laugh, be weird, make faces, or have dance breaks in the middle of nowhere, we’re probably a good match. I’ve found that the best photos come from genuine connection and shared trust—not forced moments or stiff poses.

Vérité means “truth”—and that’s the heart of my work. I’m here to help you feel like yourself, and to document your elopement in a way that feels honest, grounded, and real.

“Her adventurous spirit and passion for travel made it clear that she was just as excited about our day as we were..”

Not only is her photography stunning, but she also made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Her adventurous spirit and passion for travel made it clear that she was just as excited about our day as we were. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about creating memories that will last a lifetime.
