From the beginning Hanako was clear with communication and expectations. She helped with building a shot list, which was so helpful! Very professional throughout the entire process, helped walk us through the timeline when my wedding planner was dropping the ball.

She caught a lot more moments than I expected! Very impressed with these skills! So friendly and really helped calm me down in the chaos that was my wedding! Highly recommend Hanako!
