Wedding Photography by Justin Hankins

Best decision you could make for your wedding!

“Justin is literally the best! He is so kind-hearted and sincere in his business, and it shows in every image he takes. He took the time to get to really know us, our families, and about our wedding so that he could best photograph everything, and actually celebrate WITH us. He was there to help and support us throughout the planning process, and helped accomplish everything we could have ever hoped for. His style is completely unobtrusive and organic. Aside from the few planned group portraits before the ceremony, we didn’t even know he was there, yet he captured every emotion throughout the day. Our images came back very quickly, and he even sent a couple to us while we were still on our honeymoon! Photography was incredibly important to us so that we could remember our wedding day, but Justin was able to externalize the feelings and emotions – every time we look at our images, we laugh and cry, just as we did on our wedding day! Words cannot describe how grateful we are that he was able to be there for our wedding!”

— Mary & Sean
