'photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have captured on film is captured forever... it remembers little things long after you have forgotten everything.'

"Take the time to enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." -Robert Brault
I believe in photographing those little things. The in-between moments, stolen kisses, smiles that reach your eyes, goosebumps. There’s nothing more beautiful than the pure joy and comfort of two people wildly in love. 

Love has a way of posing for itself. Immerse yourself in the moment. I will guide you but ultimately the most beautiful moments captured are the ones where you are just yourself. 

Love has a way of posing itself.

"To see the world, things dangerous to come, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life."

".. Holly is so easy to work with and has the best energy! She completely brought my vision to life. My husband and I had such a fun experience with her. She really captured the night in every way imaginable and we can't thank her enough for the love and passion she put into our wedding photos." - The Alvarez'

the details

It’s not just about the day you show up for photos. We’ll start working together from day one to provide insights, resources, location ideas, planning tips, and timelines so that when you get to your wedding or session date, you’ll get to live fully in the moment.

the experience

Cue the music, pop a bottle, go exploring, dance in the desert, get comfortable, do your thang. We’ll provide prompts to help you get comfortable (no need to worry about what to do with your hands), but mostly we’ll just hang out and let the magic happen. 

your story captured your way

You can expect to receive anywhere from 500-1000 images. The size of the wedding, the hours of footage all come into play with the amount of images sent. 

How many photos can we expect? 

You hire me for my style. And part of my style is my editing technique. Also what you don't see is the amount of editing I do to the raw image. For these reasons I do not allow access to the raw files. Sometimes there are phone-lines, trash cans or random objects that don't need to be in the image. Before you get a complete online gallery I have to review ever photo prior to sending them out. I want to give you the BEST of the best! It's part of my job and I love doing it. Hope this helps you understand why I do not send raw files. 

Can we have access to raw files?

You will receive a full online gallery within 6-8 weeks after your wedding. I will also send you a 24 hour sneak peak! 

when will we receive our photos?

That's part of my job! It's probably why you fell in-love with my work and you didn't even know it. It's not easy knowing where to put your hands or what to do with your face. I'm here to help. This is what I love to do. I get to help you feel comfortable and like you've been doing this for years! 

do you help us pose?

Yes i shoot with both. On your wedding day there is an option to add film to your day. You can add as many rolls of film as you would like for your day! 

Do you shoot digital and film?

Upon sending your proposal and contract I require a 20% deposit of the total payment. The remainder payment is require to be finished the week before the wedding date. 

Deposit required?
