hotography is super important on your wedding day but the most important thing is to get you married to your best friend. I always balance the excitement and joy of your big day with
My Approach
celebrate. Weddings are expensive as well, I get it. That's why I aim to deliver images as close to your vision as possible. I like to get inside my couple's head as much as a I can. I ask for inspiration photos, I gauge your importance of time, photography and other priorities to deliver a photography experience that nails your expectations. Of course, I have my strategy and favorite poses but will always incorporate the expectations of my couples with my gameplan.
From creating and refining your timeline to recommending other vendors I've worked with, please use me as a resource if you need one! On your wedding day, you can count on me to achieve all of our photography goals, even if our timeline gets off track (which often times happen). No fear though, I've seen a lot and always achieve our photography goals seamlessly.

"Holly was the absolute best! I hired her for my wedding and I knew from the first phone call, that she would be amazing to work with. She is extremely professional, personable, and extremely talented at what she does and not to mention, efficient. She kept the environment stress free and took care of everything. The photos came out so beautifully and my Husband and I couldn’t be happier!" - Chandler, Bride
"Holly took our wedding photos and did such an incredible job. The package included a second shooter and they both were so professional, kind, and truly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They were super organized and made sure to get all the shots with family, plus so many fun candid pictures throughout the night. I am so grateful to have so many beautiful pictures of our day, and I absolutely would hire Holly again in a heart beat." - Bethany, Bride
"Holly was an amazing photographer for our wedding! She was accommodating, easy to work with, and her photos are incredible!

"Amazing wedding photos! Holly is wonderful to work with and made our special day even more special!" - Stephanie, Bride
"Holly was the best wedding photographer I have ever worked with, and I have been in at least 9 weddings. She was very skilled- she knew how to help us relax yet get good poses. She was discreet- I don't remember seeing her the entire wedding although she was definitely around as her photographs from many angles show. She got all the shots we wanted yet was not stressed or uptight. She took initiative and was prepared. She was very warm and friendly; we felt really good about having her join our family for the special day. Also her development of our photos was timely and professional." - Maddie, Bride

Because You
Please reach out and see if we are good fit. Personality, style, process all need to match up for a successful team. Whether is a phone chat, zoom call or meeting up a coffee shop, let's chat!
1. Say Hello
2. Engagement Session
In most of my packages I offer some sort of an engagement session offering. This is a great time to meet and warm up to each other while I click away behind the camera. Many prompts might feel familiar on your wedding day, which leads to a more relaxed and fun couple to photograph!
I am yours! When you hire me, you get years of experience attending and photographing all types of weddings. I have seen it all, and some things I wish I hadn't (ha!) so please feel free to reach out, at any point during the wedding planning process, if you need any help planning your big day!
3. ask me Anything
You can count on me to arrive on time and ready to shoot! I view weddings as maybe Lebron James views his big games...it's a big deal to photograph a wedding! I prepare, I study, I am ready on your big day! When our timeline doesn't match up with events of the day, I got you! I don't like to fail and will always find time to ensure all your photography needs are taken care of.
4. WEdding day!
The end product! You can expect your sneak peak images within 48 hours of your wedding day. These days my sneak peak galleries get larger and larger! I just love grabbing a couple images from all the highlights of your day and editing them right way, it's so much fun! You can expect to have your entire gallery delivered within 60 days of your wedding but I ALWAYS try and aim for a 30 day turnaround. But with life happenings and being a busy photographer I work in a little extra wiggle room if I need it :)
5. Photo delivery
our wedding day is the most important day of your life, take ease in knowing I got all the details & special moments covered. Planning a wedding is hard! I promise to be one of your biggest cheerleaders while also providing top notch service and images so you can relive your wedding day for years to come!

I can’t say enough about Holly’s work. The recent photos of my son are exceptional. By far, the best professional photos we’ve had taken. She captured so many special moments. I also can’t say enough about Holly as a person. She was so kind, attentive and responsive to our requests. The whole experience was wonderful, from our very first contact to the ease of ordering our photos. Thank you, Holly! I am so grateful to have these amazing photos.
