Loren Hansen Photography

Documenting Northern California weddings for those that love fearlessly and don’t take themselves too seriously.

Meaningful photos are about personality, not perfection!

“I’ve spent nearly a decade as a professional photographer in Sonoma County and I’m here to tell you that great photos don’t always have to look perfect, but they should always be authentic. My goal is to capture timeless memories so when you look at your photos you not only see how beautiful you are but you remember how you felt at that moment. I want to capture honest interactions and reactions through some guidance and a bit of humor but, primarily allowing you the space to be who you are! Incredible, dynamic photos come from allowing moments to unfold, not forcing them through awkward posing. ”

“She knows exactly when to capture you, your better half, and your loved ones to get the most genuine and loving pictures. You will love your photos, and you will love her.”
