BEHIND THE LENS

Holly's approach

As part of the most well documented generation, it's important to tell your piece of history purposefully, authentically, and in a meaningful way for your future generations. That is what I do. 

As an artist and storyteller, I'm deeply committed to capturing images that are genuine, joyful, and timeless. My goal is to authentically capture the essence of your unique story. With over 17 years of experience in the wedding industry and having shot over 400 weddings, I have gained invaluable insights into how to ensure that your special day runs smoothly. With my guidance, you'll know exactly where you need to be and when. I want my clients to feel completely confident in trusting me to direct their poses, manage the bridal party, and ensure that everything runs flawlessly. By placing your trust in me, you'll be able to fully enjoy and savor every moment of your wedding day without any worries or stress.
