The Hogans Photography

The most special family photos that we will treasure forever! Courtney was super flexible with our session time because our 6 month olds naps were all over the place at the time, and worked super hard to get as many smiles as possible! She also made us feel so comfortable and it didn’t feel forced at all, just special moments in our home with our fur baby included. Couldn’t recommend more!

Courtney was exceptional. From the first email to meeting her for our shoot, to the delivery of our edited photos. I truly won’t go to anyone else now that I have found Courtney. She goes above and beyond and even got my fussy kids smiling and having the BEST time. Can’t thank Courtney enough for capturing my family so incredibly.

We’ve had Courtney do maternity/family photos for us 3 times and each time she has done such an amazing job, absolutely incredible photos! Would not hesitate to recommend her and Jake. Can’t wait to get more photos done some day soon!

We had Courtney come to our home for a newborn photo shoot/ family shoot with our daughter and it was nothing short of an amazing experience. She was warm, comforting and like a friend you have known your whole life. We will be inviting the Hogans into our home for our next family shoot or there of the like 10/10 would recommend x

Honestly cannot describe what an absolute gem Jake is, and how incredibly grateful we are for all of his hard work.He's been stuck with my partner Will and I for years now because we booked him way back in 2019 for what was supposed to be a 2020 wedding. Through multiple postponements, date changes, and, eventually, a separate ceremony followed by a full wedding with reception months later, Jake has been one of the very few constants and, honestly, one of the very few things that kept us determined to have a wedding at all. Every time restrictions changed and we went back into lockdown Jake was incredibly patient and kind, quick to respond to emails and happy to chat whenever we needed, give us advice and hope and reassure us that it'd work out.And we're so glad that it did, because the two days we had were so amazing, and Jake perfectly captured all of the emotion and beauty of them in his photos. He did a perfect job of making everyone feel so at ease, and you can very clearly see that relaxation and fun in the photos, both the candid ones and the portraits. Looking back at them has allowed us to see so many little moments we missed in the fast pace of the day(s), and it was really, really hard to narrow our favourites down to just 100 for an album because he took SO MANY.And speaking of the album - Courtney arranged our chosen photos so beautifully in the album, and each spread tells its own story of a particular moment in such a lovely way. And the quality of the album itself is incredible! An amazing keepsake that was well worth adding to our photography package.Over all, Jake (and Courtney) have gotten us through some really stressful and sad times over the last few years, and when we look at Jake's photos we know that we made the right decision to keep persisting with having a wedding. And it truly felt like having a (very accomplished, extremely talented and knowledgeable) friend there with us on the day rather than 'just' a vendor.

We are incredibly grateful for Courtney and the precious memories she has captured in photograph. Our home was flipped upside down with the arrival of our first baby and when Courtney arrived her calmness soothed the chaos. Her smiling face, authenticity and infinite mum wisdom put us at ease immediately. We would like to celebrate Courtney’s flexibility, babies don’t keep to a schedule, and she absolutely gets this. We are excited to continue our relationship with Courtney and look forward to sharing our family photos over the years to come.

Courtney is the absolute best! We have been lucky enough to have Courtney take our family photos twice now, and what she is able to capture is truly amazing. She knows all the tricks to get the best out of even the most reluctant toddler! We now have so many beautiful family photos; moments in time we will cherish forever. Courtney is just so calm, kind, and patient!Christie, Ty, Zoe & Isla

Courtney took our beautiful family photos when our Son had just turned 1. He was a little crazy on the day but Courtney assured us she would get the shots and she did! A magician, so many beautiful family moments captured, not forced just an hour of play with our Son and letting him show his true adventurous self. Thanks guys for capturing these precious moments of our family. Highly recommend Courtney ♡

Wow wow wow! The Hogans Weddings were the first vendor we booked for our wedding and we are so glad they were.The booking process was easy and they were very responsive and patient as we locked in dates and the venue, requiring quite a few emails back and forth.Once booked, all the information we needed, including fees, expectations and the process was always transparent and easy to follow.On the day Jake was our photographer and he felt (and was) like just another mate at the wedding, but with the bonus of having epic photography skills. We hardly noticed him taking photos for most of the day but when we did he was patient, encouraging and there was no awkwardness.And then there were the photos - within a few days we had our highlights shots and we honestly would have been happy with just them. Combining beautifully candid moments with traditional portraits capturing our day perfectly. A month later we received the full album and it was simply spectacular. We are still finding new photos to love 4 months later and all of our family and friends have commented how amazingly they encapsulate the vibe of the day.Post-wedding Courtney has helped us coordinate our album and prints with kindness and professionalism.The Hogans went above and beyond and were much more than our ‘photographer’ on the day.Do yourself a favour and book these guys in. We can’t recommend them more!

Have had Courtney photograph my family twice now, both times have had a wonderful experience and an incredible outcome. Will cherish our photos forever. Courtney is so sweet and works very well with young children. Highly recommend.
