Moey and Peter
"I am sitting here in tears going through my album. It is SO amazing, better than I ever could have imagined, it is just beautiful. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I am so happy, I absolutely love it."

Tonja Seenandan, Reception Coordinator, Sounds Unlimited
"I met Bradley at a wedding at the Palisade restaurant. I could tell that his clients adored him and when the night was over, he had left (and captured) a very unique impression. I've been working for years coordinating weddings and have had an opportunity to work with literally hundreds of photographers. To date, I've only recommended three, and Bradley is one of them."

2007 The Knot Best of Weddings

 "'Amazing. WOW. Blown Away' are words a lot people use to describe Brad's work. 'If your wedding photos are important to you, you must consider Brad.' He has a 'brilliantly artistic eye' that captures the festive mood of any special occasion."

2005 Lila Guide Seattle

 "Brad managed to catch our son's personality perfectly. We set up a custom package to have pregnancy photos taken, then followed up with shots of our son several months later. He took his time to get the candid shots we were looking for. Worth EVERY penny for the quality and service. Fresh, original, and artistic."

Julie and Josh

 "From the moment we met with him, we knew that he was who we wanted following us around and getting in our faces every time we kissed. When Brad showed up at my hotel as I was getting ready, I was immediately put at ease. He was so much fun to work with. I was actually sad he couldn't stay for the whole party. He's efficient and professional and also incredibly talented. Our pictures came out better than I could have ever imagined. Bradley was there to capture every important moment of the day. Most importantly, he managed to sneak in and catch us being ourselves. There were so many moments that could easily be swallowed up in the blur of the day, but Bradley froze them for us to revisit for a lifetime. We couldn't be happier with our pictures."

Jordana and Aaron

 "WOW. We don't even know how to describe our awe and wonder and delight as we watched the gorgeous, PERFECT, wonderful pictures unravel before our eyes! We are soooooo happy with them and can't thank you enough for being such an insightful and talented artist! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You did such an incredible job of capturing the whole ambiance and energy of the events of our wedding. The composition of every picture is unbelievable! We love your manipulation of light and contrast. We can't really comprehend how you captured every moment so perfectly. We know that looking at our pictures over the next 50 years will bring us back to how we felt on our wedding."

"Whenever my clients need a photographer, I always refer them to Bradley Hanson. Bradley is absolutely the greatest to work with and the freshest, most original talent in town. My clients tend to be artistic, discerning and cultured, avoiding the typical "cheese factor". For photography, I really believe that Bradley Hanson is Seattle's best."

 

Michelle and Shawn

 "Absolutely fantastic and exactly what we hoped for!!!! We are thrilled that we had you as our photographer and cannot wait to share all of these with our friends and family.Thank you SO MUCH for everything you've done so far! We are so so happy with all these photos! Many thanks!"

Taya and Alex

 "We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding pictures! Bradley captured all of the most important moments during our day in a very intimate and artistic way. He delivered above and beyond what we had hoped for. Bradley was so careful, inobstrusive, and focussed on his work that many of our guests commented that they didn't even notice a photographer was there. These images wil be treasured by our family for generations. We plan to use Bradley for all of our future events and have already given his name to friends who were moved by his work."

Stephanie and Bill

 "From the moment we met Bradley, we knew right away that we wanted him to capture our wedding! I never once worried and knew he would do a great job. The photos turned out AMAZING. You are truly a brilliant photographer. Thank you for capturing the most memorable moments of our biggest day. We are truly grateful, thank you!"

Betty and Jason

"Jason and I really, really LOVE our wedding pictures. You did such a fabulous job of capturing the feel of the day. I have probably looked at our pictures over a hundred of times, just day dreaming and remembering our day! The more I look at our pictures, the more I fall in love with them. Our friends and family are absolutely amazed with our pictures and all want to order prints. Everyone got a kick out of the dancing pictures of Jason –they were hilarious! Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. You were so fun to work with and I hope we have another chance to work with you again."

Christine and Andy
"The pictures are absolutely phenomenal! We've been showing them off and everyone has been commenting about how incredible they are!"

Alexa and Ryan
"Thank you so much for our beautiful pictures! You did such an amazing job. We are so happy you decided to work with us, and it was truly a pleasure."

Renee and Rusty
"AMAZING!!! We love our photos and couldn't be happier. The results exceeded our expectations. We love how you were able to capture the emotion of the day. We have received wonderful feedback from family and friends. Most have watched the slideshow in its entirety and some have watched multiple times. I will be sure to refer you to all my brides! Thanks again for everything!"

Kelli and Brian
"Just wanted you to know that we think the pictures look so FABULOUS!! We were able to put about 200 images in the slideshow for the NY reception and everyone was commenting on how wonderful they were. Thank you so much for the website also, I will forward that on to family and friends as well. We are so pleased - even better than we could have imagined. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"

Milkana and Colin
"Hi Bradley- We LOVE the pictures! They’re absolutely fabulous! We were up until late last night going through the book over and over again. We had high hopes given your previous work, but you far exceeded our expectations! Thank you very much again for using your creativity, talent and attention to detail to capture so well the memories of our special day!"

Jessie and Charles
"Bradley Hanson is a genius behind the lens. When shopping for a photographer for our wedding, I was initially overwhelmed by options. After viewing a few portfolios, however, it became apparent that a search for visual talent (composition, consistency, imagination) narrowed the field considerably. Brad treats every wedding like a completely fresh and different event, and has a great eye for personality. I'm not sure how he managed to be everywhere at once and there are hundreds of interesting (and flattering) photos of the mayhem. It's also worth mentioning that he was incredibly nice and patient, shooting unobtrusively and making portraits fun rather than tedious. He never interrupted the flow of the event and yet I never once had to look for him when a "moment" was about to occur."

Yunkyung and Andrew
"Thank you for leaving us with your wonderfully artistic perspective
of our wedding day. Now we can re-live our special day over and over again. While looking through the album, we were reminded of each special moment, yet we don't remember seeing you take the shots. So sneaky... yet so good! We rave about you to all our friends!"

Joanne and John
"The pictures are amazing! We felt like we were re-living that day! I love all the little details you took! I absolutely love the one with the matches and petal of rose, that's awesome! It's like opening up a story book and watching a fairy tale! :) There's a lot of awesome images and my friends are all commenting how nicely it turned out!"

Rebecca and Micheal
"I got the album yesterday and we are so happy! I think I've already looked at it too many times to count. Friends who have already had weddings have said things like 'That's what I wanted MY pictures to look like!'."

Lynne and Steve
"Dear Bradley,WOW! The pictures are great! You have a terrific eye and really captured the festive mood of the wedding and location. We love all the shots taken before the wedding and the pictures of us together. We also like the combination of color and black & white. Thank you very much for such a beautiful collection, it exceeded all our expectations."

Melissa and Todd
"We LOVE the proof book! It was SO much fun to look through it. It is beautiful! You did a wonderful job capturing all the special moments of our wedding. It was very fun to re-live the day page by page! There are so many that are my favorites, it is going to be very hard to choose enlargements and prints. So many of them intimately captured the moment and they will enhance our memories of the day forever!"

Jennifer and Chris
"Bradley, thank you so much for such a wonderful job and for capturing our day perfectly! The pictures are absolutely amazing! What's more, I always thought a photographer was either someone you suffered through or someone you didn't see. Your presence at our wedding actually added to the day! Thank you again!"

Denise and Marcello
"What can we say but WOW! We knew you would take great pictures, but what we got was simply amazing. They all turned out so great we aren't certain how we are going to decide which ones we want in a book! Plus, you captured the feelings and moments of the day, without us even knowing you were taking photos. Choosing you was the best decision we made for our wedding!"

Betsy and Thang
"WOW! Brad, I cannot find the proper words to tell you how impressed I am by our wedding photos. My mom and I literally spent hours going through the photos over and over. The way you captured the moments had us reliving each moment. You amazingly captured all the poignant moments - you definitely fit my nickname for you - GURU."

Nafysa and Salim
"Hi Bradley! Thank you for the pictures! We LOVE them! What an amazing job you did. You captured moments and expressions that were so personal, so quintessentially us. All of the pictures of Salim and I together truly represent the different emotions that we were feeling on that day, as well as our love for each other. It's like you got to the core of who we are and then expressed it with your camera. Thank you for doing such an excellent job!"

Allison and Ryan
"Bradley, thank you for the absolutely amazing, fantastic and wonderful job you did photographing our wedding. I am so impressed with your talent, your eye for detail. We have so many great prints it's virtually impossible to pick 'the best' for framing! Most importantly I think, is that you captured EVERYTHING about our special day, and in such a creative way. The results were EXACTLY what were after. Thank you!"

Kristin and Greg
"Bradley, we were blown away by our photos! We loved the photos in your demo books and so expected to get some good shots, but we never expected the beauty and detail of the photos you took for us. I am flat out NOT photogenic, so was very surprised to actually enjoy looking at pictures of myself. You captured so many intimate and interesting moments throughout the event, both black/white and vivid color. The pictures of me and my sister getting ready are absolute art! I don't want to gush too much, but WE LOVE OUR PHOTOS! Also, your style worked very well for us. Many of our friends and family commented on how professional you were and how you managed to be there to take all the cool shots without being pushy or in the way. We had already referred one of our friends to you. You can bet there will be more!"

Jennifer and John
"Thank you so much! Everyone who looks through our book is so impressed with the story the images tell and the quality of the work. You gave us something that we will enjoy for many years to come. You rock."

Jenni and Ben
"Bradley- There are not enough words to describe how happy we are with our wedding pictures! When family and friends ask us what we remember most about our special day, your name is one of the first things out of our mouths. You made the picture taking process fun and stress free. Not only did we love your sense of humor and flexibility, but we also admire your professionalism. You were able to be our “go to man,” while still capturing every moment of our wedding. Without a doubt, you surpassed every expectation that we had for a photographer. We would refer with 100% confidence! Thank you once again for everything- you helped make our day an unforgettable one."

Allyson and Todd
"WOW!!! We looked through the proof book last night, and were totally blown away! Thank you SO much! When we got over the fact that you somehow managed to make us look like supermodels :-), we were amazed at how incredible the photos were. We knew you were good (that's why we hired you), but you are REALLY good. We were totally cracking up, remembering what a circus that day was--you definitely nailed it. You had to have been *everywhere* to get the shots you did. We had forgotten/missed out on so many things. This delivered us right back! I stayed up late last night looking through the book about 50 times. Then I almost missed my bus this morning because I did it again :-) This is way too much fun. Thank you so much for all of the time and work you put into these. If you ever need a referral, send 'em our way."

Judy and Jerry
"Just wanted to say thank you again for the pictures! They look great!! Our friends and family and they can't say enough about how good the pictures are. Thanks again for sharing in this special day with us - you really captured all of the best moments. We enjoyed having you around too!"

Rachel and Iain
"Thank you for the fantastic job you did for us at our wedding. On such a hectic day it was great knowing that the photos were one area we didn't need to worry about! We were both really impressed with the way in which, in fact, you helped the day flow more smoothly. It was really as if we had a friend doing the photos for us and they are memories we will be able to treasure forever."

Alexis and Peter
"Thanks again for such an amazing job--You really captured our great day and exceeded our expectations! (...And we expected a lot from you based on the great work that you have done in the past!)"

Lisa and Sean
"Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures! They turned out better than we had ever hoped for. Your talent and love for photography really shows through in your work. You were able to capture all the emotions, excitement, and little details that helped make up our wedding. We really enjoyed working with both of you; y'all were so much fun to be around. All of our guests raved about how great of a photographer you were before they had seen the pictures. Now we receive so many compliments on how our pictures should be in a wedding magazine. (I think I would have to agree :) Thanks again for capturing the memories that we will look at for all the years ahead."

Christina and Yung
"Both of our families were ooohing and aaahing over the pictures. "Timeless" and "beautiful" were heard over and over. One of the best things about the way you shot the day was that you told the complete story, from beginning to end, with so much attention to detail. I get to re-live, re-feel all the emotions of that day as I flip through the pictures. You captured the day! On top of it all, I really feel that all of us just clicked. Maybe that's why the pictures feel even more intimate and personal. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, A THOUSAND THANKS!!!"

Ann and Michael

"The pictures are fabulous, superb, ...don't have all the words! It was the best day of our lives and we are so glad we choose you to capture it for us. It was great to have you share our day."

Aprille and Peter
"We absolutely love the images you captured our wedding and enjoy reliving the day through your eye. Aprille was showing the album to my mother in a coffee shop and a bride-to-be at another table asked for your card after peeking at a few of the pages."

Tanzi and Jon
"We wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we enjoyed having you at our wedding. From the moment we met you, we knew that you would do a wonderful job, and you definitely exceeded our expectations. Your kindness, humor and professionalism really put us at ease. Although *we* were running behind on the wedding day, you kept your cool, which in turn help us stay calm and allowed you to capture the photos we wanted. We will certainly be recommending you to family and friends, and look forward to using your services again in the near future. Thank you again for everything. We were so fortunate to be able to work with you!"

Sheena and John

Kristy and Kelly

"Thank you so very much for all of our pictures. They are so beautiful it is hard to look through and pick out the favorites. Kelly and I both want to thank you for your personal attention to every detail. It is reflected in our pictures and we love that about you and your work. Each picture tells a story of our beautiful day."

Krista and Bill
"Dear Brad, thank you so much for capturing the magic of our wedding day with your photos. We are so happy with your artistry. You've been a pleasure to work with from beginning to end-- always being so available for us. We love the finished album as well, and really appreciate the time you took with us in creating it. We wish you a very successful future and we will do all we can to recommend you to others!"

Emily and Scott
"I am honestly so moved by the photos. They are the most artistic, creative, well-shot photos I have ever seen. I have been in tears a number of times today just reminiscing about the memories of the wedding, while looking through the pics. It was such a pleasure having you at our wedding as our photographer and our guest. I am so excited with the way they turned out! I love the ones on the beach after the ceremony- they are my faves. Although it is so hard to choose which ones I like best. I hope that someday you will be able to shoot our family photos- dogs, kids etc etc. You have a tremendous talent!."
