Hannah Arista Photography

hannah is so wonderful to work with and so talented. she’s amazing with the kids and captures such beautiful moments. I’m
always stunned when I see our photos from her. she clearly puts a lot of time into editing and color correcting each image so nothing looks digital which (as a photographer myself) I love. she’s a delight as a human and an amazing artist. we’ve used her three years running and hope to use her forever. she’s the best.

Hannah is truly a talent. Not only are her photographs beautiful, interesting, and original but she makes the process so easy — despite the feelings of awkwardness that we all have being photographed. Hannah is able to catch the greatest moments with our family in an organic and fun way. I can only imagine how hard she works after the shoot to select the best images, crop, adjust the color, etc. All that great work is thanks to her fantastic eye. We are so very pleased with our family photos and look forward to seeing what she captures next year!

Hannah was (is!) the most fantastically amazing photographer! Our photos came out SO beautifully and she was such a joy the entire day. She was calming, collected, professional, fun, reassuring, precise, and so many other wonderful things. We really can’t say enough how much Hannah made our day that much more special. We will cherish these photos forever and ever :) Next time I need professional photos of any kind, she’s it!

I can go on forever about how amazing Hannah. She is such a sweetheart and such a pleasure to work with… not to mention that her work is BEAUTIFUL, which is why we hired her. I searched for weeks and weeks, trying to find a photographer who fit our style and would capture all the beauty in a wedding. Finally, a friend recommended her, and I kid you not, I stopped looking at other photographers the moment I saw her work and especially once I had reached out to her. She is soooo friendly and she made the wedding planning process that much lighter and easier… and that feeling in itself is worth every single penny. On the day of the wedding, I felt right at ease because I knew she was going to work her magic. She has such a good eye for beauty, and I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures! My bridal party couldn’t stop talking about how sweet and amazing Hannah is. They saw her work behind the scenes and they are just as excited to see how the pictures will turn out. I highly, highly, highly recommend Hannah for your wedding or for ANY special occasion you want to document. Her portraits and photojournalistic style is so unique, you will not regret it! Love love love her!

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Hannah Arista be the photographer at our wedding. The pictures are beautiful and perfect. Also, she was such a kind and comfortable presence to have at the wedding, and seemed to always be at exactly the right place at the right time. The pictures are really incredible & we are so thankful to have had Hannah as our photographer!

Hannah is one of the most talented photographers I have ever come across in my career as an event planner. I think what I admire most about her photography is lighting and depth. Her pictures don’t fall flat or come out one dimensional at all. They always demonstrate her unique eye to capture the right moment from the right angle. We recently worked on a client wedding that was beautiful and filled with tons of detail. As an event planner, I sometimes worry that photographers may not capture all the details or be able to mimic the day’s ambiance and beauty through their lens. Looking back at the photos from the event, Hannah did an extraordinary job at not only capturing every single detail but also truly grabbing the beauty of the day. Looking through her photos literally takes me back to that day and I get to relive the event over and over again — not every photographer is able to accomplish this! Besides her talent, Hannah is also one of the sweetest and kindest people you will ever meet. And I am not just saying that to be nice. It’s actually a very important quality to have on the production side of an event because it fosters collaboration, positive energy for the client, and teamwork — trust me I have seen what the opposite of that looks like! :) It’s always an honor to have her shoot one of our client events!

Hannah is a true artist! She photographed our wedding in July 2014 at Occidental College and produced high quality work. She did her homework prior to the shoot and had great ideas for photos and different locations. Hannah documented the occasion rather than made us pose which was exactly what we wanted. She offered different packages to fit our budget and was professional and incredibly available throughout the process. There were too many photos to choose from when compiling photos for our wedding album, which made the process nearly impossible!

Hannah photographed our wedding at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles. The photos were stunning! She takes pictures with a truly artful eye. It seems like every photo is a work of art. Just fantastic!!!

Hannah photographed our wedding in Malibu this past August and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. Choosing the right photographer was one of the most important elements of our wedding. As soon as I saw Hannah’s photos featured on a wedding blog, I knew she was the one. Her photos are absolutely gorgeous — they capture the emotions of the day in a very artistic and natural way. Leading up to our wedding day, she was such a pleasure to work with — she responded promptly to all my questions and I just knew that she always has our best interest in mind. Once you meet her, you’ll see that Hannah is genuinely sweet and easygoing, making the whole process so much more enjoyable. On the day of the wedding, she showed up on time and even stayed late into the night (much longer than we had agreed to) to capture some last shots of the evening. We were BLOWN AWAY by the photos from the day. She did such an amazing job of capturing the raw emotions and beauty of the day. We will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. Her photos are truly timeless…

We hired Hannah as a wedding photographer this April and she was a pleasure to work with. She showed up to our wedding on time, worked with a rigorous schedule and snapped so many amazing photos. She was so considerate to our guests and made sure that everyone was documented. Her photos came out amazing and exceeded our expectations. We root for Hannah!

I had a pleasure to work with Hannah on a recent music photoshoot. We were beyond happy about both the quality of the photos and the process itself! The photos feel natural and in the moment, yet have a dose of something special about them. Hannah is a true artist as she really takes the time to add that creative spark to each photo. And the process itself was relaxed, fun and truly enjoyable as Hannah’s warm and always smiling personality comes forth to help create an atmosphere that is casual and natural. We have found THE photographer that we want to work with!

I just received my family portrait photos from Hannah and I am beyond thrilled! I hate to even call them «portraits» because her style is no natural and candid. I feel like I searched every LA based photographer’s website looking for someone who had the right natural feel to their shots. When I found Hannah I hoped I had found the right person. Boy was I right!
She was a joy to work with, easy to schedule, her prices were decent too! (Before I had kids I had no idea what it cost to get nice family pics taken, so if you’ve never done it before it’s not cheap.) But Hannah’s prices fell in line with, and often times fell below the rates of other, lesser photographers.
Literally I don’t have one negative thing to say. I will use her every year!

I can’t say enough about how great Hannah is. My husband and I just received our wedding photos and are completely floored. Our wedding was simple and very personal. Hannah truly captured that. She also captured our joy. My favorite thing about our wedding photos is how big everyone is smiling in all the pictures. I love that she captured everyone laughing at my husband’s jokes. My family is very complicated and Hannah managed all the different people like a champ and a true professional.
I’ve never seen another wedding photographer come even close to what Hannah does. She captures your day and makes you feel like you’re re living it in your photos. We are beyond happy with our photos and will treasure them for the rest of our lives.
Hannah also did a bridal boudoir photo shoot with me so I would have a special gift to give to my hubby. The pictures are so classy and sexy. My husband’s eyes almost popped out of his head!
