Love at first sight…

Welcome to Hannah R.B. Photography—where genuine moments turn into stunning memories, and the best smiles come naturally.

Let's chat

Timeless moments…effortlessly captured…

WE LOVE LOVE

I believe your photos should be about you—not awkward posing or forced smiles. My approach? Keep it fun, let it flow, and make sure you actually enjoy the experience. Because when you’re relaxed and present in the moment, that’s when the magic happens, my dear.

J.R. and Hannah Ruth = LOVE!

High school sweethearts, turned photographer team, we know what it’s like to experience and capture through our lens the happiest days of your life. We aren’t just here to provide beautiful photos (which we will!), but also to party with you.

“He had a smile that made me go weak in the knees, if you can imagine that.”

Natalie Cole

“This will be…. an EVERLASTING love!”

to our brides…

You’ve done it! You found the person who gets your weirdest jokes and makes life feel a little more fun. My job is simple: I make sure those feelings never fade.

We specialize in storytelling with an editorial edge—which is a fancy way of saying you’ll get those breathtaking, "is-that-actually-us?" photos alongside the raw, unscripted moments that actually define your day. Whether it’s a quiet glance or a champagne-soaked dance floor, We’re there to capture it all. We’re Hannah Ruth, and JR and we can't wait to tell your story.

"Hannah Ruth is one of the best! She made our time with her so easy and fun! She is easy to communicate with and fast on her replies. I've had a session with her in the past and now she's doing our wedding and we can't wait!"

Ashlynn and Levi M.
"Hannah and JR made sure that our wedding day was everything we could have dreamed of. From the very beginning, we felt prioritized and confident that they would bring our vision to life while adding their own artistic value. The day was more than just posing for hours, but full of real, intimate moments we will cherish forever. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we were speechless. They were sophisticated, timeless, and full of real smiles from all of the laughs and love throughout the entire day. The photos look just as beautiful as the moments felt. They truly added to the experience of the entire day. I am so thankful that we found a photographer who felt not only like an artist, but also like a friend. The entire experience was better than we could have ever imagined."

Kasey and Parker G.
"Every time I've asked Hannah Ruth to take my pictures, I know I won't be disappointed! She is so energetic and truly wants you to enjoy your experience. I can't recommend Hannah enough!"

Olivia B.
"The Bobo’s did an incredible job for our big day- they made sure to capture every detail. Our pictures turned out sooo beautiful. Hannah Ruth’s editing style is so beautiful and elegant and we couldn’t love our pictures any more than we do. Also loved the inclusion of film photos-they gave a perfect vintage feel. Could not recommend her enough!!"

Emma and Cody S.
"Hannah Ruth has captured many of our big life events and is scheduled to capture even more! I’m so thankful for someone so personable and fun to take the time to hear my wants and then deliver so flawlessly!! From summer pictures with friends, family portraits, engagement and wedding pictures, and our upcoming maternity shoot — Hannah Ruth has been with us through it all and we wouldn’t have it any other way."

Clara and Dyson B.
"I am the owner of a brand new bridal shop and entrusted Hannah Ruth with capturing the essence of my company! We worked together on a styled shoot, and she went above and beyond. She delivered something better than I could have ever envisioned. Hannah Ruth found the perfect venue for the shoot as she is very familiar with Athens and surrounding areas. I could not recommend her more for her ability to instruct the models with ease, her laid back and fun demeanor, and her overall capabilities as a photographer! I have already scheduled with her again...and you should too!"
