When you go through Hannah's wedding images, it is easy to see why she has been given this award. Her eye is always fixed on the narrative and emotions of a wedding. She manages to capture moments another photographer might miss, as she takes the time to get to know her clients and bond with them. Everyone is comfortable in her presence, Hannah is just a lovely person to be around but she knows how to be quiet and let the story unfold. Her subjects lose their self-consciousness and the camera becomes a tool to snap up and file away moments of serenity, laughter, poise, silliness and all the stuff in between. This is why we asked Hannah to teach a class at Farm Week and why I have chosen this beautiful picture as our winner this week in celebration of her success and to show us the benchmark for real award winning photography.
