About Lizzy Hannaford Photography
Lizzy Hannaford is a photographer based in Cairns, working from a home studio in Trinity Park. Weddings and elopements are one of the main parts of her work, alongside newborn, maternity and family sessions, and she covers celebrations from the Cairns beaches up to Port Douglas. Her style sits somewhere between lifestyle and documentary photography. She gives a little direction when a couple needs it and then stays out of the way, so the pictures show the people, their personalities and the laughter of the day rather than rigid, formal poses. The goal is a set of honest images that still feel sentimental many years on. She shares real weddings on her blog, including a celebration at Savina Farm in Cairns, and has written a guide to planning a wedding sparkler exit without leaving it to the very last moments of the evening. Her galleries move easily between candid guest moments, beachside portraits and the energy of the reception. Wedding coverage is priced on request, so ask about the hours and inclusions that suit your day. Couples who want natural, unposed coverage of their wedding, and a photographer who keeps the experience easy and low-pressure, will find her approach a comfortable fit.

We had our beautiful photo’s taken by Lizzy. Initially I was a little worried how the photo’s would turn out given our ‘newborn’ was a little older so less ‘sleepy’ along with a very active toddler and a dog. However, Li…
