he wedding industry! We would recommended her over and over again without any hesitation! Truly one of the best out there

eautiful photos.

d the chance to postpone the big event till next October 2021 early in the summer which helped us rebook all the vendors. We can’t wait to celebrate the big day next year and have her document the event. Hilary took amazing engagement photos and it was so easy for us to take these photos with her. She is open for any type of situation and gives her honest opinion on all situations. We would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a photographer in the New England area.

From our first email with Hilary we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our day. She was hilarious, open, and completely understood what we were looking for. When we told her that we both suffer from chronic pain issues she assured us that we would go at our pace and only do the shots we wanted. She made every aspect of booking her as easy as possible. On the day of she arrived with an entire plan and list of areas on the property we would take photos and planned it so it was as minimal physical effort and strain as possible. She was so reassuring that any anxiety just melted away. She captured absolutely every important moment of the day and put together the most incredible sneak peek video that had us literally bawling tears of joy the next day in a Target parking lot. Our photos have turned out incredibly with every ounce of joy we felt coming through every picture. Hilary is truly an amazing photographer and human and you will not go wrong having her be a part of your special events. Thank you so much Hilary!

ond to emails. After panicking the Monday before the wedding that we wouldn't have enough time to capture all the moments I wanted, she graciously offered to add on additional time to make sure we fit everything in. The day of the wedding she was so much fun to work with. We both have large families so I know it was a bit chaotic at times for her (especially because my husband kept wandering off to greet guests haha) but she managed the group so well and everyone commented on how great she was. She sent 10-12 photos to us a few days later and they're all amazing. I can't wait to see the rest of our photos but I'm sure they will be fantastic!

! We first met her for our engagement photo session last October and we felt so comfortable with her right away. She is not afraid to get down and dirty for an amazing photo shot if she sees an opportunity and the photos came out gorgeous! When our wedding day finally came around on 10/10/2020 she was there right at the beginning and was so cheery and incredibly helpful the ENTIRE day! She was basically our second wedding coordinator and helped both my husband and I so much throughout the day getting ready and we truly felt we are a part of her photography family! Can't wait to get the rest of our wedding day photos but the sneak peek photos are absolutely amazing. She is a wonderful photographer, organizer, personal advocate, and an even more amazing person!!! I cannot recommend her enough to anybody that is looking for a truly special photographer who will capture not only the most important memories of your life but also will capture your heart! We love Hilary and look forward to hopefully doing more special future life sessions with her!

itself. Her experience as a wedding photographer definitely showed with how diligent and organized she was. On the day of our wedding she made sure that everything went smoothly and ALL of our photo requests were captured. She had a vision for each of the photos and they were all incredible! Hilary's guidance on how to stand and where to look made the entire process effortless for us. Finally, Hilary had our complete edited photographs/album to us in just a couple of weeks during her busiest time of year. We cannot thank Hilary enough for everything! We were so incredibly happy that we found her for our special day! We would recommend her 11/10 times to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! She really is that wonderful!!!! :)

res for her clients. On our wedding day, it brought me comfort having Hilary with us, making sure we were eating enough, breathing enough (you’ll understand on your special day) checking in with us, and helping us keep to our schedule. She even sent us a few wedding sneak peaks a couple days after the wedding and it was so special! Thank you Hilary for all you do! We can’t wait to see all the photos!

itely recommend getting the package - it included everything we needed at a great price.

re the wedding itself), all semblance of awkwardness and tension was defused, as we felt completely at ease and comfortable posing for her lens, and we couldn’t have been happier to have her photographing the wedding itself. Hilary’s photography skills are top-notch; she has an excellent eye for detail and sense of how to best use the environment to capture the perfect shot. We had the bad luck of having rain on our wedding day, but Hilary expertly turned lemons into lemonade and used the setting to our advantage, utilizing water reflections to take some truly phenomenal photos that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to get. Her logistical skills are excellent as well; on the wedding day, she quickly and deftly wrangled the family and wedding party for a set of fun and perfectly-composed group photos, and otherwise slipped into the background of the ceremony and reception to capture the best moments of the day. We would without hesitation recommend Hilary to anyone—and in fact we’ve done so, as we had the privilege to catch up about a year later at the wedding of a friend.

r day and captured it perfectly as it went. We would recommend Hilary Colleen Photography to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer in the future. Hilary has not only been professional, but has also become a friend to us. We look back on our wedding photography on a daily basis, and also look forward to working with Hilary on future projects! Thank you, Hilary for all your dedication, hard work, and for making our day even more special!

tions with her creativity, organization, sense of humor, and big heart. When we decided we wanted to have our engagement shoot in our apartment, Hilary had the great idea to turn our cookie baking into a flour fight, resulting in some hilarious and adorable photos (including some with our perplexed cat). At our wedding, she put everyone at ease and fit right in with our pack of weirdos, was more than capable of wrangling our big families, and based on the (fabulous) final photos, understood exactly what we wanted captured from our day - lots of candid shots of our favorite people celebrating. She makes the whole process stress-free and fun, has a really creative eye for composition, light, and color, and is a joy to be around. Thanks for being awesome, Hilary!

missed had it not been for her. Hilary is so genuine and kind and funny! We, and all of our family and friends, were so comfortable around her. Our wedding was in the beginning of March in New England... to say the least it was cold. Hilary kept us all laughing and smiling the entire time so we didn’t even notice. I am so happy that Hilary was a part of our wedding. Her vision is amazing and so is her heart. Hilary, Thank you, my dear, for all that you do. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories you have given us to cherish. Thank you for being adventurous and trying new things with us! Our wedding would not have been the same without you. Thank you for everything

wed by an old town library. Our night ended at the top of a waterfall where Hilary had us dancing, laughing and crying. Hilary asked us to wonder out further across the rocks in the water to simply talk to each other about how we were feeling becoming husband and wife, enjoy the moment. The night was sealed with a kiss as dusk settled in. We couldn't be more thankful to have met Hilary, having her be the one to capture our love story, what a blessing! <3

re chatting with a friend (even though we had a list of 20+ questions we asked her) and how knowledgeable she was about the ins and outs of shooting a barn wedding. Once we decided Hilary was perfect for us, we began the online booking process – which Hilary has streamlined and made extremely efficient. She promptly answered my questions on the contract and made this process a breeze for my husband and I who were living in Hawaii at the time. Hilary even worked with us to schedule a family photo shoot in place of our engagement shoot the day after our wedding before we flew back home – in the middle of her busiest month of the season! Fast forward to the weeks leading up to the wedding – Hilary sent out a couple of questionnaires to get us thinking about who we wanted photos with during the wedding and any specific shots we didn’t want to miss. It was helpful but not overbearing at all! Hilary referred back to these lists during our wedding and asked us if we wanted to step away for a few moments to grab some of those shots we said we wanted – we did it and we do not regret it one bit! Those are some of our favorite photos already! The day of the wedding Hilary arrived at our venue early, while they were still setting up, to investigate and scope out the best areas for family photos and some other details. This set us up for success the day got rolling because she was prepared to make suggestions and help guide us along for the rest of the day. Hilary followed the timeline we discussed but we also never felt rushed. My husband and I both noticed that she was firm enough to keep the timeline rolling but also wasn’t rude and pushy toward us or our guests. It was an excellent balance and allowed us to enjoy our day instead of stressing about the schedule. I personally loved that throughout the day she would show me quick glimpses of the photos she was capturing! Hilary has a background in wedding planning and it definitely shows through even in her role as a photographer! My husband and I are certain we made the best choice for our wedding photographer. Hilary not only captured the joy of our day, but she also reminded us to slow down and enjoy the day and each other while we were in the moment. She was so attentive to me and surpassed my expectations in every way! I cannot say enough how much we loved working with Hilary! She was well worth the investment and the peace of mind to work with a true professional! I promise you will not regret booking with Hilary!

were just perfect? She is a true master of her craft!

nough Hilary... she was the photographer for my daughters wedding in September at The Barn on the Pemi and she made the day extra perfect. My daughter adores her and is so appreciative that Hilary had them stop and take a moment alone to check in with each and soak in the beauty and love that surrounded them. Her photos (that we've seen so far) are simply gorgeous. I will recommend her every single time I'm asked. She is fantastic and adds a great vibe to a day that can go by all too quickly. We love her!!!
