Bradley Hanson Photography
What is your style of photography? With 12 years of experience shooting for weekly papers in Seattle and personally photographing over 425 weddings, my style is the fusion of photojournalism and fine art. The day of your wedding will feel like 3 minutes, but millions of little moments exist during the time we will share that day. My goal is to show the couple's true personalities in the role of an observer, rather than stepping in front of the action and dictating the day. I've found the photographs that mean the most to my clients are the ones they were not aware being taken. My role, therefore, is to use my 12 years of experience to make every moment as beautiful as possible while staying in the background and not interfering with reality! What is your price range of services? What does this include? Do you have packages? If so, what do they include? Yes, but everything can be customized to fit your wedding needs exactly. Please email for details and I'd be happy to meet with you to discuss your wedding in greater detail. Do you shoot with an assistant? Will you be the one shooting the wedding or do you hire out other photographers as well? One of the things I've learned over 12 years of shooting weddings is that I work best when trusting my own instincts. I personally photography *every* wedding. I use assistants for larger weddings, but I am always the photographer. I know exactly what I can deliver and would never want to represent another photographer's work. There is no way a 2nd photographer can shoot in the same style as the main photographer, and I've found most couples like having fewer people surrounding them during private and personal emotional moments. Because most people aren't used to being photographed for 6 to 9 hours at a time, I've found it's easy for me to blend in and be a fly on the wall. If people are hiring 2 photographers + 2 videographers, suddenly they find themselves intimidated by the entourage of strangers following their every move. Most of the compliments I receive include comments about my getting all these moments they weren't aware of because I am able to slip in and out of situations without being noticed, despite being 6'3"! I have been shooting film since I was 10 years old, and it was the darkroom experience of developing and making prints that really got me hooked on photography. I have been shooting specific films and using favorite developers in order to create the look and tonality that me and my clients love. Black and white film in particular has a unique character, tonal range and elegance that can NOT be matched digitally. I also get high-res scans of all of my film, which allows me to not only do website slideshows for all of my clients, but allows me to design wedding albums using the latest software, to do any needed correction to the file, and to have an additional layer of backup. Everyone wins!
