Do you know the best part about being a professional photographer? The people! Not only do I get to meet and capture amazing people during their most favorite moments, but I get to work with some of the most creative, inspirational people on the planet. Meeting fellow photographers and getting to partner with them to capture magical moments is one of the many reasons I love my job. Let me tell you all about my Baltimore Wedding Photographer team!
THE BALTIMORE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS
One of the hardest things about moving from the east to the west coast was giving up the beauty of one for the other. How can one choose? As a result of a desire to hold on to the stunning views of the Mid-Atlantic, the Baltimore Wedding Photographer team for Hannah Leigh Photography was birthed! I recruited the best local photographers I know to capture the moments that highlight Charm City and its beautiful people. As associate wedding photographers, they shoot the event and then we work together to edit the photographs in order to highlight the moment perfectly. It’s a win-win!
MEET ANNA
Anna has always had a passion for photography. As a kid, she loved looking at old family photos in her parents’ basement and was fascinated by their ability to take her back in time and elicit so many emotions. As a result, she dabbled in family photography before taking the dive into wedding photography in 2011.
As soon as Anna was introduced to wedding photography, she fell in love with the entire process and fully embraced her new identity as a Baltimore Wedding Photographer. Capturing the emotions of a wedding day is extremely important to Anna...she knows that years down the road, you too may share a box of old photos with a loved one, and she hopes that every emotion felt on that surreal day is relived.
When Anna isn’t photographing weddings, she’s raising her gorgeous kids--Paisley, Joy, and Wyatt--with her husband, Aaron.
MEET NATIRA
For over six years, Natira has been shooting weddings and making herself known as a star Baltimore Wedding Photographer. She has the experience, the skillset, and the SMILE to capture your wedding day with ease and pure joy.
In 2016, Natira began second-shooting with Hannah Leigh Photography. Natira is an incredible photographer with a gift for capturing those in between moments. To have her on the Baltimore Team means that East Coasters are in the best hands possible!
APPROACH AND PHILOSOPHY
As Baltimore Wedding Photographers, our goal is to always capture the moment so that you can be in it. This is an honor, responsibility, and privilege that we feel fortunate to do for all of our East Coast couples.
We value and understand the trust that is being given to our team to make each client’s day memorable and lasting. This is why we each love being a Baltimore Wedding Photographer--we give space for couples to be present during their wedding day without worrying about documenting it. It's the best gift to offer!
WHAT TO EXPECT
Our Baltimore Wedding Photographer team wants you to experience as stress-free of a wedding day as possible. We are efficient without compromising quality, which means that you get to have beautiful photographs that document the entirety of your day. For example, you will get to the dance floor as quickly as possible, rather than spending your entire reception away from your guests taking posed pictures. Capturing you as you celebrate with friends, family and one another is all part of your special day!
As a team, our wealth of experience ensures that your photographs will be taken and delivered in a timely, organized, and professional manner. Within this team of Baltimore Wedding Photographers, we have shot close to 500 weddings! Each wedding shapes us into better photographers. You can bet that we will capture gorgeous, lasting moments that will help you to relive this day over and over.
