I have known Trent-David and Katherine since I was a senior in high school. They have been the kindest and most supportive friends, and watching the two of them grow in love for each other over these last 4 years (officially on the 26th!) has been one of the sweetest things. If you don’t know […]

Hannah O’Neal

Hannah Forsberg was such a joy to work with! I am so happy I chose her to photograph my wedding in June 2018, and felt that way from start to finish. She is such a thoughtful, warm, detail-oriented person and gave me such helpful and personal attention all throughout. Leading up to the wedding, her communication was perfect, checking in on things and working with me to gather all the necessary details for a smooth wedding day. On the day of the wedding, she was such a sweet presence and blended in so well while she worked hard to get the best shots of everything. She was able to kindly handle all of the family pictures and quickly manage the large groups of family members. She also has such a talent for helping you relax in front of the camera to capture beautiful, natural moments. We are so happy with our pictures! If you want a detailed communicator who works with you to strategize the best plan for your wedding day, takes time to understand your picture priorities and overall aesthetic, gives you personal attention and help, professionally works with your family and friends, takes such beautiful and creative shots, and has the sweetest spirit, you need to use Hannah Forsberg!

Hannah photographed our wedding on 9/21/2018 and was absolutely wonderful to work with! Her sweet and cheerful personality along with her breathtaking work sealed the deal for us to choose her as our photographer. Hannah really was conscious of all of our requests and appreciate her getting to know us beyond the client aspect. We truly enjoyed her Skyping with us to meet properly before the wedding as we weren’t local. She asked questions that helped her get to know us but also aided in knowing what we wanted out of our wedding photography. Overall we would definitely recommend Hannah and hope to use her services again next time we’re in GA!
