"There is no greater story than a story of love and that is a story worth sharing." Hannah Black
You are about to embark on an incredible adventure that has only just beginning. Your wedding day is full of joy, laughter, tears and all of the little in-between moments and details that tell your story and begin your adventure as "one." It's full of special moments, memories and people that you truly love so much. That is what matters. All of the planning is important to orchestrate the day, and the day is important, but it's truly just the beginning of the love and life you will share. That's why this day is important and why it should be documented. Marriage is an adventure and although it is not always an easy one, it is the most beautiful one I know. There is nothing quite like having that one person by your side to live your day to day life with.
Okay now enough of the serious, we will have FUN on your wedding day! So much fun! I will dance with you at the reception and crack the dumbest jokes to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera- laughing is my literal favorite thing, so let's laugh together as much as possible! I want your day to be stress free and fun- you should not have to worry about anything on your wedding day and I am here to help with that! I will help you with planning your timeline and making sure things flow smoothly and I will be cheering you on as you choose your dress and make all the little decisions along the way!
Meet the heart behind Hannah Black Photography
I love moments. I love adventure. I love laughing! I love that each and every one of us is different and we all have a beautiful story to tell. I love to build relationships. I love to encourage and build others up. I love that through my business, God is using me and allowing me to do all of these things. I feel the most full when I am doing what I love- photographing people and moments!
I love Jesus, chocolate chip cookies and pizza, traveling every chance I get, watching Gilmore Girls and going for walks! I believe everyday is an adventure and that it’s possible to make anything fun with the right perspective! I’m married to my high school sweetheart, Anthony, and I’m a mom to a three year old, Titus! He has truly changed my life in all the best ways possible. I love being a wife and mom!

The edited digital images in an online gallery, with printing rights, are included for all of the sessions below.
Engagement Session
Engagement sessions are an opportunity for me to get to know you and your fiancé and it allows us to spend time together before the wedding. Your Engagement Session should truly capture "you being you" with the love of your life. Engagement Sessions are one of the most fun parts of being engaged, if not the most fun!
Bridal Session
One of the main reasons to book a bridal session is because it is helpful for doing a trial run with hair and makeup. You can see what you do and don't like and adjust accordingly. They are also great if you want to have a bridal portrait displayed at the reception for everyone to see, which is a very traditional thing to do. Bridals take place a month or more before the wedding and are up to one hour. Moms and Dads love these, by the way.
Mr. & Mrs. (day after session)
Get dressed back up and get away to capture your love away from the schedule of the wedding day.
Adventure Session
Getting married in another city or destination and want a couple's session? Let's explore the city, go on an adventure, get some coffee or ice cream and capture your love in the place you're getting married! This session would take place the day or two before your wedding. This type of session is awesome as a private first look as well, if you want to take the pressure off the wedding day!
Traveling to Tell Your Story
As a lover of all things travel and adventure, I would love to travel for your wedding! Travel fees apply to jobs located more than 60 miles round trip from my home in Sanger, TX. Travel fees vary depending on the location, so contact me for a custom quote. I love to travel and offer great travel prices-- let me travel to your wedding!
Here are some places on my wedding photography bucket list:
New York City, California, Oregon, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Tennessee, Arkansas, Glacier National Park, anywhere in Europe!
FAQ
- How many photos will I receive? This answer varies from wedding to wedding depending on how many hours of coverage you have as well as how much is going on during the reception. I would say on average you receive about 75 images per hour of coverage, but it could be more or less. Don't worry, you will get a lot of images to document your day!
- How many hours should I book? This depends on how much coverage you would like. The 4 hr package is really for small, intimate weddings with no bridal party and little to no reception coverage. The 6 hr package is great if you either don't want the full reception covered or you don't want a lot of the "getting ready" and detail photos that are done before. The 8 hr package will cover from getting ready to the grand exit at the reception!
- How will I receive my photos? Will I be able to print them myself? You will receive your photos in an online gallery called Pass! It is super user friendly and great. Pass allows you to easily download the photos, share them with family and friends and order products if you wish. You are welcome to print things on your own. I recommend mpix.com for personal printing. However, if you are wanting to be sure you have printed the most high quality images, you can print through me.
- How long have you been a wedding photographer? I shot my first wedding in 2014! I shoot around 10 weddings/year. I also shoot a lot of portrait sessions throughout the year- mostly high school seniors and family sessions for repeat clients and past brides!
- How would you describe your style? I love bright and vibrant images! I want your photos to look true to life and not overly edited. I incorporate a lot of movement into taking your pictures because I want your photos to be natural and fun! We will take posed photos, but be ready to laugh and play and walk a lot to get more candid and natural shots. My best advice is to make sure you have looked at my images on my website and instagram to make sure you love my photo style- this is true of any photographer you book!
- Will you help us with posing? Of course! That's my job! I have a more natural approach to posing and try to get you moving around to help you feel more relaxed and less posed. We will pose and smile for the camera, because you will want photos like that too, but we will move around a lot and have fun! Do not worry one bit about what to do when we're taking pictures- I will guide you the whole time!
- What's your number one advice for brides? Ultimately, at the end of the day you will be MARRIED!! And your marriage is far more important than one day, so take time to invest in your relationship throughout the engagement- don't just get caught up in wedding planning! Be sure to have date nights and leave sweet notes for each other and keep pursuing each other throughout the engagement season. It's such a fun time of life so don't miss it! And on the day of the wedding, don't worry about anything- just have fun and slow down enough to have special moments with those you love!
- Why did Anthony start doing video? It has been my dream for years to add Anthony onto my team so we could be a husband and wife duo and do this together. He has always done a great job when second shooting with me and has a great eye. This summer (June 2023) I had a bride who asked if my second shooter could do video and while my sister doesn't do that and is my preferred second shooter, I told them that I have always wanted Anthony to do video with me. They wanted me to ask him and give him a shot, so he finally agreed! He actually exceeded my expectations on his first video (I am gonna be his harshest critic haha) and I am excited for him to continue to do better each time!
- Why is it called Widetrack Films? Anthony's dad was a truck driver for many years before suffering from a brain aneurism. Truck drivers have nicknames that they say over their radios and his dads name was Widetrack. Anthony wanted to honor his dad in this way and we felt like it was a perfect fit for his video branch of my photography business. Your video will make an impact and leave a lasting impression- a widetrack, so to speak.
- What should I think about before choosing a photographer/videographer? Your photo/video team will be with you all day long. You will spend more time with them than almost anyone else on your wedding day, so be sure you like them! Also, the photos and videos are the thing that last long after the wedding day is over, so you should feel confident that who you hire is going to take timeless images that will stand the test of time and be sure you like their editing style. We don't want to just be another vendor you hire, we really want to get to know you and be a calming presence on the day of the wedding because you trust us!
