Hey There! I’m Hannah - an Intimate Wedding Photographer originally from the coast of Virginia but stumbled my way to the North Georgia Mountains which I now proudly call home! I love finding new adventures while exploring new places! I started my Photography journey capturing families but soon realized that my heart was completely drawn to capturing love & the bond that two people share! I describe my photography style as more Photojournalistic while being heavily focused on capturing more intimate/Romantic & candid shots!

My love for wedding planning started when planning my own wedding. In 2016 I decided to make my dream career a reality and Jessica Bencomo Events was born. I have planned over 100 weddings and I still believe I have the best job in the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jessica went above and beyond towards making our day perfect, and she exceeded all our expectations as a planner. Truly, she's amazing! From our first call with her to see if she was a good fit for us, she left a very positive first impression. We talked to a lot of planners before making our choice, but every planner we talked to just made us want Jessica more! Jessica was our day-of coordinator for our wedding in August 2023. During the planning stage, even though she was our day-of coordinator, she answered all the questions we had for her via text and email. Her responsiveness and breadth of knowledge made planning so much easier. Instead of doing hours of research, we could always just send Jessica a quick text. She was super helpful in answering questions about other vendors, and not afraid to tell us when she thought we might be wrong. Her advice was invaluable to making our day run smoothly without any surprises. The month before our wedding, we had multiple meetings with Jessica to iron out every little detail about the wedding. She is extremely well organized, and made sure that all the context that was in our heads we transferred to her. On the day of the wedding, we had nothing to think about or do because Jessica knew everything and, together with her assistants, were handling everything. Her planning meetings go over every little detail, which gave us the peace of mind that we hadn't forgotten anything crucial. Also, those meetings are fun! The most impressive thing about Jessica was her flexibility. Our wedding was from a different culture, very traditional, and the entire thing was in a different language! Jessica managed all of that with ease - she took time to understand how the church service would run, made sure everything ran smoothly and we were all organized during the rehearsal, and then on the day of directed everything from entry to exit. Everybody sang her praises! The pastor, our families, and our guests were beyond impressed with her. Overall, Jessica made our wedding day as stress free as it could be. With her help, we had a perfect day. Thank you so much Jessica!!

Wedding and Elopement Photographer with over 10 years of wedding experience. Warm, romantic imagery with moody shadows, capturing the raw emotion and candid expressions of everyone you love. There are a lot of laughs and maybe some corny jokes but at the end of the day - my goal is that you have an amazing experience and that your photos let you relive that all over again.

Awarded Best of Zola
We really enjoyed working with Jessica! From our initial consultation to the day of, she was professional, organized, and personable, making sure I felt comfortable and confident with the process - I never doubted that I'd end up with exactly the photos I dreamed of having from my wedding day! Her work is absolutely beautiful, with a cohesive vision that has this gorgeous moodiness to it but that doesn't sap color away. From our engagement shoot to our wedding, I just love how all of our photos turned out! And, despite getting all these photos, she did a great job at getting photos done quickly and efficiently so we didn't feel at all like our wedding day was just a photo shoot and had plenty of time to still connect with our guests and enjoy the day. We are so happy with our photos and our experience, and we cannot recommend JC Rosewood Photography highly enough!

We know that planning your wedding can be stressful but when it finally arrives, it's over in a blink of an eye. We are here to capture those moments, so you can relive the best day of your life for generations.

Awarded Best of Zola
When looking for vendors, I had stressed for weeks (okay, maybe months…) over finding the right videographer for our wedding day. Unlike a photographer, which feels like a given, I wanted to find someone that could capture our day beautifully, both through the lens and the emotions that would make up that most special day, for us to fully justify it. Beyond that, my husband does videography for a living, so that made it ten times harder (talk about a critical eye!) But immediately upon seeing Ben’s work and talking to him over the phone, both Wes and I knew he was the perfect person for us. Not only was he extremely friendly, courteous, and kind throughout the entire process, all of his videos were done so beautifully, I felt like I was in the room. And on the actual day, Ben was a JOY to work with. Despite all the usual chaos that a wedding day brings, not to mention the crazy South Carolina June heat and humidity, Ben kept his cool, always being professional and flexible with whatever the day brought. His attitude was so uplifting and made the experience all the more special to have him there. And when we got the final video edit back …to say I was blown away would be an understatement (the angles, the color… I mean, CHEFS KISS!) While the day is a truly whirlwind, it’s hard to take in the moment fully especially when looking back on it, but Ben was able to truly encapsulate it for all its meaning, humor, and joyfulness. I can’t wait to replay it over & over again to bring myself back to a day I will never soon forget thanks to Ben and his incredible work!

RLM Affairs Wedding Venue was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. The quality of their work and the overall value was exceptional - the venue was intimate, beautiful, and detailed, with a truly romantic garden setting. Resia took care of everything, including the set up of our personal decor items and take down afterwards. RLM even let us store our wedding items at the venue before the big day and schedule a pick-up for afterwards, which was so convenient. The day itself was completely stress-free, and we had so much fun celebrating with our 88 guests - the space was just the right size. While there was a bit of a "trust the process" leading up to the wedding where we didn't hear too much, the RLM team was always available to answer our questions, which was especially helpful since this was our first time planning a wedding. We are happy with how our wedding day turned out thanks to the incredible team at RLM Affairs!

When my husband and I started looking for our wedding venue, we had pretty high expectations. We are full-time wedding photographers and most of the venues we have been to are pretty cookie cutter and not at all what we wanted for our own wedding. You’ve got your barns, ballrooms, and industrial chic venues and then you’ve got something completely different like New Holland. New Holland has character, charm, and a one-off nature that was exactly what we were looking for. We knew that when we decided to have our wedding after being married already for ten years, it had to be at New Holland. Sophie and Reagan made the experience booking and hosting our wedding effortless. Our entire wedding celebration was unconventional, and because of that, it required a whole lot of coordination with activities and food for our guests that typical weddings don’t necessitate. Sophie and Reagan handled everything the day of the wedding perfectly. It was like one big choreographed dance. I know that without them, our wedding would have been a huge, disorganized embarrassment, and we are so grateful they helped make our day run smoothly so that we could enjoy it. If you’re the kind of bride who is looking for something bespoke and can’t find it at any of the venues you’ve visited so far, I know you’ll find it at New Holland.

Then walk across the green grass to your celebration under a tent, with or without a dance floor, lighting, tables, chairs and linens of your choosing.

Zombie Flowers

  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Bowersville, GA

After the global zombie apocalypse, in the early winter of '24, I heeded the call, picked up my shovel and shotgun and headed out to the fields. Protecting this wide world from the pestilence that is the zombie flower is no small feat, but I've learned to survive. I've made it my mission to hunt these jokers down, wrangle them together, and to serve to you dead off the proverbial platter. In these post-apocalyptic times, the zombie flowers make for excellent mantle trophies, but some have said they make awesome wedding bouquets. Whatever your cup of tea, these zombie flowers are one of a kind prepared just for you.

We contracted Zombie Flowers to provide bouquets for our runway models at Uncon Bridal Con. They were amazing at their communication leading up to the event and delivered the bouquets promptly according to our schedule the day of the event. Their punctuality gave our models enough time to rehearse the runway with their florals. Aside from their great professionalism, Zombie Flowers is a super creative company. Their floral arrangements can be described as wild, yet put together giving a very unique aesthetic that you can't find from Etsy. The best thing that brides say about their products is that their lightweight and already preserved for life. We cannot recommend them enough to add something special to your wedding day!

Where do I start?? Chef Cal and her team was phenomenal, from the day we reached out to the ending of our fabulous night. The food was the best we have ever tasted, just as it did at the tasting. Chef Cal and her team attention to detail and service production was professional, thorough and impeccable. Cal's Kitchen pricing was very fair, we loved the flexibility as we were very picky and indecisive at times but Chef Cal worked with us without judgement, noted all of our concerns and delivered beyond our expectations. Chef Cal has the best communication and responded to us very promptly. Thank You Cal's Kitchen for making our day extra special!

Kristen is fantastic! She is kind, engaging, and has such a warm presence. She made us feel comfortable, even though we are not the most comfortable in front of a camera. She brings tons of ideas to her shoots and helps make sure that there are tons of great photos to pick from! Kristen took our engagement photos in Georgia, and then shot our City Hall wedding in San Francisco and our party in Oakland. She also came back to Georgia to take more photos from a wedding party we had here and they were so stunning! Kristen is very flexible and accommodating and I highly recommend her!
