Hana Laurie - Alternative Wedding Photographer

WHOA THERE! Y’wanna know about me? Niiiice!

I’m Hana, I’m a photographer and teacher in my work life. I love puns and sushi and gin, and if all three combine it’s a real treat. I’m quite sharp, often sarcastic and I just LOVE making people laugh and becoming new friends. (I’m not just saying that either… I go out with previous couples pretty regularly!)

I like people, I like people I don’t know even more – I tend to blend in and get chatting to everyone at weddings and events. I find it allows me to get involved while I’m busy snapping away, and I guess if they tell me secrets about you, their friends, then I can use it to make us all laugh. Great photos come out of this stuff. I might end up taking the piss a bit at points, but it’s genuine banter and I’m a pro at taking it back.

When I’m photographing, I tend to be pretty up for anything – if a shot requires lying on the floor or climbing 9ft up a tree then I’m all for it. I’m fully insured and I have more clothes at home/in the car… getting the right shots and having a total hoot while I do it is totally important to me. There’s nothing worse than getting home and thinking “but would I have looked excellent in a tree??” – of course I would.

If you’re looking for photography which seamlessly fits into your day, then I can do that for you! 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 and then I’ll crack out all the best bits for you the very next day (editing takes ages, you might as well have a best of to keep you nibbling).

Ooh nibbling. Yes, go and have a cup of tea and a biscuit* and send me an email.
