my philosophy

As we enter a new digital age, the things that bring wedding photography value remain the same at any given point in history - the love between two people, family legacy, and real moments frozen in time. Your wedding will no doubt be beautiful. I will happily capture the fashion, details, and design elements. These are undeniably important elements of the day. But the most important things are the people getting married and their loved ones. My documentary-forward approach aims to preserve the the day as it unfolds with heart and style. You live it, I'll capture it.

what people are saying

"Hattie is truly the sweetest, calmest, easiest person to work with. We booked her for our engagement photos and immediately knew we needed her for our wedding, too. And she truly exceeded our expectations both times. Hattie and her style is so romantic and natural in the most beautiful way. People always tell us our photos look like they belong in a magazine and Hattie herself is the biggest joy to work with!! We could not imagine anyone else capturing our special moments...we’re still blown away and will keep booking her for every milestone in our lives."
