Timeless Memories

Hannah Zettel

California-based photographer

I’m Hannah Zettel, the heart behind the lens. My passion for photography started in childhood and grew through years of experience in hospitality, where I worked with world-class clients and learned the art of storytelling.

What sets me apart? Versatility and connection. I capture everything—from weddings and engagements to maternity, family portraits, branding, and events—while making every session fun, effortless, and meaningful. Photography isn’t just about pictures; it’s about preserving moments that last a lifetime. I’d love to be part of your story!

My passion for photography began as a kid, but it really took off during high school and college. I’ll never forget receiving my first camera—a pink digital one—in 6th grade, which sparked my love for capturing moments.

Before diving into photography full-time, I spent several years in hospitality, working at the Bacara Resort & Spa, where I had the privilege of planning events for some incredible clients, including Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, and Michael Jordan.
