It’s my job to make you feel comfortable so you can sit back and enjoy the moments.
I got you.
Let’s connect.
Reach out and we can setup a time to grab coffee, a drink or meet virtually. I want to year about what you have in mind. And, I’m really an open book and happy to share any recommendations with you. Once we become buds and you’re ready to move forward, I’m with you every step of the way.
Create together.
I help you make the most out of your photography! Dependent on your needs, I support you in developing timelines, scouting locations, planning shotlists, suggesting budget appropriate ways to make your shoot or wedding go as smoothly as possible. I’ve learned that a good plan actually allows for plenty of spontaneity.
Make memories.
This is the fun part. We’re ready for the unexpected, the real, the candid moments. We’re comfy together so you get to enjoy and I get to do what I do best. Your photos will get delivered on a shareable, online gallery ready to order prints and books to hold those memories in your hands. We stay in touch and hopefully I get to photograph your future milestones!
A little about film photography.
Remember your childhood photos? Negatives? Those cylinder canisters your mom and dad had, maybe they were kodak, or fuji, or Ilford…That’s film. I shoot with 35mm and medium format film cameras.
I ALSO SHOOT DIGITAL, don’t worry!
I shoot film because I love it - it’s tangible, timeless, nostalgic, romantic, imperfect, but also perfect. As photographers we spend endless time trying to emulate this look with digital, and I’ve found there’s nothing quite like it.
I get my film processed at a professional lab. It gets digitally scanned and you receive the images just as you would your digital files: in an online gallery. I include film in all my weddings and you can add on more. Do it!
My instagram is full of film images and please enjoy the ones below!
FAQs for brides and grooms
I’m not comfortable in front of the camera! Help!
You, me, and 99% of the world. We’ll spend time together before the wedding and during an engagement shoot. The more comfortable we are around each other, the more at ease you’ll feel on camera. I got you – the most rewarding thing to hear from clients is “Wow, that’s actually how we are together, that’s what we look like.”
What’s the difference between a wedding, elopement, and intimate wedding?
Elopements are typically just you, your partner, and sometimes an officiant and a few witnesses. You’ll still want to plan out your location and hire a tight team of vendors to make your elopement come together. We have a lot of flexibility here, to plan around the light and the location.
Intimate weddings are typically you, your partner and a small gathering of immediate family and/or chosen family! There may still be a formal dinner or reception to follow a ceremony. This is typically under 50 people.
Weddings, of course an umbrella term, we typically think of as the bigger party including a ceremony and reception.
That being said, I’m not a boxes person, let’s define what YOUR day looks like. There’s no wrong way to celebrate love!
How much do wedding packages cost?
I have full day wedding packages starting at $3000 and elopement photography starting at $1500. Couples sessions are $400. I’ve got a pricing guide with all the info!
What should I wear for our couples shoot? And where should we go?
I’ve got a guide for you, don’t worry!
Do you include Engagement photos?
Engagement sessions are included in 8 hour wedding packages. This is the best way to get to know each other and prepare us all for the big day. This ends up being a really celebratory and sweet time for couples.
How much time do I need for my wedding?
I typically shoot for 6-8 hours on a wedding day. It’s important to me that you feel covered. Consider travel time between locations. Do you have a big wedding party or family shot list? Do you want coverage of dancing, cake cutting, both bride and groom getting ready? We’ll talk about everything and make sure you get exactly what you’re envisioning.
Here’s an estimated time frame for what a day could look like:
Getting Ready: 1-1.5hr
First Look: .5hr
Formal Photography (group shots): 1hr
Pre-ceremony (couple to themselves, people take seats): .5hr
Ceremony: .5hr
Cocktail Hour / Couples Photos: 1-1.5hr
Dinner: 45m
Speeches: 45m
Cake, First Dance, Dancing: 1hr+ (the plus is for those dancing queens out there)
What People Are Saying
“Holly was amazing! She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and would respond to emails or texts very quickly. It’s pretty scary choosing a photographer for your wedding especially when you don’t know of one. The reviews you see here are absolutely true as she has an eye for capturing beautiful images. I would definitely go with Holly if you’re looking for a photographer.”
— Andrea, bride
“Holly did such a wonderful job on our wedding photos and was a lovely presence at our wedding. My husband and I are both awkward in pictures but she made us look great! The pictures have the natural, tastefully bohemian look I was hoping for. She also gots lot of great guest and family photos. My only regret is that we went with the 6 hour package and I wish we had sprung for the whole night. We’re sad Holly moved away from Colorado but Oregon is lucky to have her!”
— Sarah, bride
“Guys. If you are searching for the most PERFECT photographer Holly is your girl! Holly did our engagement and wedding photos and I am so happy I stumbled upon her. She makes you feel completely comfortable and has so many ideas that make your wedding day that much better! She made me feel like a movie star on my wedding day. She is so talented and just let her do her thing and she will create beautiful memories that you will never forget…We will be using Holly for our future baby photos and I cannot wait to see what she comes up with!”
