Holly was the videographer for our wedding. Communication was good before the wedding and day of, which is super important and appreciated. Unfortunately, Holly's equipment had a m...
alfunction that caused the audio to be lost so we could only get the video without sound. This malfunction was a fluke event. The low rating is because of the lack of communication afterwards, not because of equipment malfunction.
Although we did eventually receive the video without sound for us to watch, **this took over a full year due to very slow replies via email tag.** We understand she has other clients and summer is a busy season for weddings on the Cape so we would understand some delay, but over a year is excessive. Holly tried to rectify this by offering a refund, however it's been several months and we haven't receive a refund (or email reply).
Holly and her team were amazing. She did both our engagement and wedding photos. We have admired her work throughout the years of knowing her, and would never have gone with anyone...

Holly at Haven photography gave us the most incredible photos. She made us feel comfortable and confident and most importantly natural during our big day ( and we are not good pose...
rs for photo opps). I highly recommend her, her prices and packages are fair and she is thorough. We received our sneak peaks and a cute video montage the next day and it had me and my husband bawling. You can't go wrong with haven photography for small or big life events you want captured.
Holly was fabulous from the start. She helped me do a surprise Budoir session for my husband before our wedding and DELIVERED fabulous photos on the wedding day. My brother in law ...
and the best man at the wedding are seasoned photographers and both were very impressed with her speed, talent, equipment and skill.
She was so fast, but without compromising any quality.
She’s very reachable, either by phone or by text and that was very stress relieving for me as the bride to know I could reach her with a text or phone call.
She was on time, concise, amazing, and everything we wanted!
Our experience with Holly for our Sept. 2022 Cape Cod wedding was a joy from start to finish. We had a great call with her and she was able to tweak her services to our exact needs...
(we wanted specific hours, videography, etc). She was so excited for us and to be part of our day. Holly even did location scouting at several beaches for our photos. Everything went smoothly - she and her videographer were on time, professional and fun! I did not even notice them at the wedding. Best of all, our pictures turned out phenomenal!
Holly was THE BEST!!!! We were so thrilled at how perfect our engagement and wedding photos came out! Holly made it so easy and guided us on what to do in each photo! She was so mu...
ch fun to work with and the results are just stunning. I highly recommend Holly to anyone!!
Holly is, in one word, FANTASTIC.
My husband and I planned our wedding for 2020... before the world went haywire, and Holly rode the wave with us from beginning to end. Between re...
schedules, engagement photos, her photographing our spur of the moment small elopement, and then our big wedding celebration and vow renewal this year with family and friends, I can say with complete confidence I know her work ethic and her commitment to her craft. And they are both top notch.
She will do anything to get the perfect shot, she will make your nervous partner more than comfortable being themselves in front of the camera, and she will even pin a boutonnière (because this bride could not!!) when in need. We have so many perfect moments captured I can't even begin to thank her for, because with the right photographer you can relive a moment over and over. You will not be disappointed if you choose Holly for your special day!
Holly is awesome and the photos are gorgeous. We loved having her and Bri at our wedding, they did such a great job taking pictures and I couldn't be happier with how the photos tu...

he jumped right into her recommendations of getting the best shots. She trekked around with us for the day so that we were able to get a variety of photos at many different settings (beach, dockside, sunset on the golf course, ect). She even stayed longer during our event to make sure we captured every special moment. There were so many amazing photos, we are still having a hard time deciding which ones to actually print. We will definitely have Holly on standby for any other future important events. If you need a photographer, Holly is 100% your girl.
We could not have asked for a better photographer! Holly was the perfect mix of professional, easy going, fun, and creative. From the beginning, Holly took the time to learn who w...
e were as a couple, in order to get the photos we really wanted. When Holly arrived, she knew exactly what shots to get without wasting any time. Her positive demeanor helped me and my husband feel comfortable and relaxed, which allowed her to get amazing photos. Holly stayed longer than planned to get the perfect sunset photos, which are some of my favorites from the day. She even picked the picture locations for the first look/bridal party photos. We had our wedding in Rangeley and have so many different backdrops-mountains, lake, field, and woods! Holly took incredible photos throughout our whole wedding day, but she really nailed it at the reception because she was on the dance floor alongside all the guests! She blended right in and was able to capture the fun reception, so we will never forget every part of our special day! We 10 out of 10 recommend Holly for any of your photography needs, especially weddings!
Holly was amazing to work with. We loved our photos so much it was so hard to choose which ones to get printed! She was so helpful on the day of the wedding with directing our crew...
for photos, I could actually just relax and enjoy the moment without stressing about making sure we got the photos we wanted. I highly recommend having Haven Photography at your wedding! She will be our go to photographer for all things important from now on.
We recently got married on 8/29/20 and Haven photography did a wonderful job! We are awaiting our final photos, but the few sneak peaks we've seen have been lovely. Holly was very ...
professional and took a boat load of photos of our big day. We were running behind schedule as weddings often do and Holly took that opportunity to take detail and candid shots without missing a beat.
Holly and her second shooter helped us capture the special photos we wanted for both us, our bridal party, and our families. She walked through wet grass and misty skies to obtain photos! We were not able to get sunset photos due to the weather, but Holly made some nighttime shots work. I only saw the photo on the tiny camera screen, but it was still flawless! We would absolutely recommend Haven Photography and Holly to family and friends!
Holly was given a list of important family photos that we wanted which some of which she didn’t take. She left 30 minutes early thinking we had taken enough photos when she was pai...
d by the time. She did the same couple poses over and over. We weren’t told to lift our chins which resulted in some really unflattering looks. I contacted her about our disappointment in the photos. She said she would try to fix some but months later still no fixes and some things just can’t be fixed.
Holly was so amazing and captured our day perfectly. I cannot tell you how amazing it feels to look at my photos and be able to relive our wedding day. I would recommend her to any...
