Capturing Love Stories & Milestones since 2010
I’m Hillary, a hopeless romantic and sometimes introvert with a passion for visual story telling. Photography has been my life basically forever. Seriously, I haven’t been without a camera since boy bands roamed North America. An early interest in people watching and an appreciation for human connections put me on the path to photographerville and I never looked back.
Why weddings? There’s something beautiful and universal about two people finding their forever love in this great, big world. Plus, there's something about witnessing a couple make the commitment to be there for each other through all of life’s ups and downs that always makes me smile.
If you’re looking for thoughtful, expressive, joyful images that celebrate who you are as a couple, you’ve come to the right place, and I can't wait to meet you :)

Hillary was the best to work with, and we can't recommend her enough! We chose her as our photographer because her portfolio had a beautiful, natural style without overly posed shots, and she more than lived up to our expectations.
Before our wedding, she was incredibly helpful in planning out the day’s timeline and organizing our photo list. With rain on our wedding day, we had to pivot from our original plan and move both our family photos and ceremony indoors at the last minute. Hillary handled every change with such calm and understanding, keeping everyone at ease, even with several young kids running around.
She is also very organized and timely with her communication, which was very much appreciated throughout the chaos of wedding planning!
If you’re looking for a photographer who brings a friendly and steady presence to your day and captures the real, beautiful moments, Hillary is the one. Thank you for everything, Hillary!!
Look no further - hire Hillary C!! Hillary just photographed my wedding and it was the best experience. Her and her assistant Tom were kind, funny, and just an over all pleasure to be around plus the pictures came out PERFECT. She knew how to get the best shots in a timely manner and was truly able to capture our love and personality. I looked at several different photographers and I could not be happier with my decision. Hire Hillary!
We are so glad we found Hillary to be our wedding photographer! Her photos are top notch and she was so great to work with. She is extremely organized and was very helpful in making sure we got all the photos we needed during our cocktail hour and reception. Highly recommend doing engagement photos with her as well. We were so pleased with our sneak peek wedding photos and can't wait to see the rest!
Any questions?
I am so glad that we used Hillary for our wedding photos! She was so helpful and easygoing on wedding day; she made everything easier with her long experience working weddings. Everyone really appreciated the relaxed but super efficient approach that she brought to the group photos. And lastly and most importantly, the photos turned out absolutely beautiful!!! They are better than we could have imagined. Thank you Hillary!
Hillary photographed our wedding and we are so happy with how great our pictures turned out! She is kind and very professional. We enjoyed working with her from start to finish. Prior to the wedding, we met with her to discuss “our must have” pictures and timing so we could ensure we wouldn’t have any regrets. Wedding planning can be stressful but she was one vendor we did not have to worry about AT ALL. She arrived on time and was able to sneak in some pictures that we originally didn’t plan out but I’m so grateful she used every minute to capture moments through out our wedding day. She also captured so many great candids and helped us pose and relax in front of the camera (we are not the best photo people so we really appreciated her guidance!!). We can’t say enough good things about Hillary! She’s a talented photographer and you won’t regret having her capturing your special moment!
I used Hillary for my wedding and cannot recommend her enough! Ahead of the day, she was easy to reach and very helpful in drafting the list of pictures most important to us. It rained on the day of so we had to adjust the locations for all our set pictures, but Hillary had a whole plan ready to go and the photos turned out great! She made my husband and me feel very comfortable during our photo sessions and gave a perfect amount of direction so that we got amazing shots. Keeping to the timeline on wedding day is incredibly important, yet difficult, but Hillary was super organized and was able to command the attention of all family members to be efficient during portraits. During the event Hillary and team were not intrusive and got amazing action shots of the ceremony and dancing. I promise you will not be disappointed if you choose Hillary to capture your special day or events leading up to it.
Hillary was amazing from start to finish! Her work is beautiful and she really captured us, and our day, perfectly. She is professional, while being personable and really making you feel comfortable and taken care of throughout the entirety of the crazy wedding process. She truly thinks of everything and we’re so grateful we chose her. Thank you, Hillary!
I had the opportunity to work with Hillary recently for a client's wedding, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. As a planner you always want vendors who are professional, collaborative and flexible should you need to make adjustments on the fly. Hillary was all of those things!
Working together we were able to knockout the client's shot list of family portraits efficiently, and way under the allotted time (a planner's dream!).
Getting the gallery of photos, I was impressed by her work...beautifully captured, and timeless.
Hillary was a pleasure to work with for our wedding - both in the months leading up and on the day of. She brings a calm energy to the process that is much appreciated during such a stressful time! She is organized and really listens to you to understand the type of wedding you are having, our pictures totally reflect that. Her turn around time is incredible - we received our edited photos in less than a month from our wedding. They are all so amazing it is impossible to choose our favorites for an album! Her work in both candid & posed portrait shots is outstanding.
Hillary was absolutely sensational during our whole wedding process. From our engagement shoot through our special day, she was so easy to work with and the utmost professional. She's very communicative, flexible and was a true joy to work with. The photos she captured during our wedding were simply stunning and we could not be more thrilled with her work.
Hillary was personal, professional, and made our photos fun and easy while making sure that we got all of the shots that she knew we would want. We were in the best of hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Look no further and go with Hillary!
Hillary is the BEST! From our first meeting with Hillary we were immediately put at ease & knew we wanted her part of our big day! She took the time & got to know us (we are not photo people) & made us feel so comfortable when we took our engagement photos & most importantly made the process SO FUN! We had about just under a year of wedding planning planning & if there was ever a question we had, Hillary would get back immediately. She has such a warm personality & works so hard to make sure everything is perfect. She cares about her clients rather than it be transactional. She also took the time to really understand our wants for our wedding, shot list, timeline, & overall vision/vibe. Our wedding photos are INSANELY BEAUTIFUL & Hillary's turnaround time is incredible. She made our families & friends feel comfortable & she captured every single moment of our day. Somehow she even got my Dad to smile in photos which is hard to do!!!
We are incredible grateful to have had Hillary as our photographer & can't recommend her services enough.
Choosing Hillary as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable, and she was able to capture our wedding day beautifully, both through formal portraits and candid photos. Hillary effortlessly navigated any challenges that arose, and made us feel calm and comfortable throughout the day. It has been such a joy to relive our happiest moments with our friends and family through these beautiful photos. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a talented and compassionate photographer!
We feel so lucky to have worked with Hillary! Our wedding photos are incredible and Hillary captured our big day so perfectly. She is super professional and makes you feel so comfortable along the way. Absolutely couldn't recommend her enough and we can't stop looking at the gorg photos. THANK YOU HILLARY!
Hillary was a great photographer and very adaptive on our wedding day. It ended up pouring all day and we had to think quick on where to take the photos. It all worked out and she and her colleague ended up taking such amazing photos. We are really happy about them.
I keep receiving compliments on how great the photos are and how our photographer really captured the vibe and how much fun the party was. I would definitely recommend Hillary to do any event :)
Hillary C Photography was absolutely wonderful. Hillary was prompt and professional throughout. She is a very talented photographer. She took beautiful pictures of every part of the wedding day.
She was easy to get along with and fun to have as part of the day. She took incredible pictures leaving us with tons of beautiful shots. I totally and completely recommend her.
Hillary was the photographer at my daughter’s wedding. We hired her after extensive interviewing because we had had a very bad experience at her sisters wedding. We were not disappointed! Not only are pictures beautiful, but she is extremely organized. It was a big wedding, and she was both kind and firm. She got every shot and managed the chaos. Moving all those pieces wasn’t easy. It’s rare that a photographer is both artistic and so good at managing the chaos. We highly highly recommend.
Hillary is the best photographer you could possibly get for your wedding. All her photos turned out INCREDIBLE, they captured our special day so amazingly and her photos make me smile every time I look at them.
When my sister got married a few years ago, she had a different photographer who didn't capture many of the family shots we requested and was generally super disorganized. Hillary was the exact opposite of my sister's past experience. Her sense of organization and teamwork ensures that she captures every photo you want. She is super responsive and provided incredible guidance on our schedule, timeline, and photo list. Moreover, she does an incredible job "herding cats" on the day of the wedding - we had so many family members we wanted in photos and she made sure everyone knew exactly when they were due for a photo.
Hiring Hillary was the best decision we ever made! I cannot say enough amazing things about her!
Hillary was such a tremendous help to us during our entire wedding process. Between planning where people would be throughout the day, making sure we got all the pictures we wanted, and capturing those special moments, the wedding wouldn't have been the same without her. There were so many incredible candid shots and taking them never felt burdensome. My family hasn't been able to look at the photos yet without crying. We really treasure them and everything else Hillary and her team gave us that day. Thank you!
Simply, exquisitely stunning with a magical quality to detail the story of my dream come true wedding! This is how I describe my wedding photos by Hillary. She is a professional through and through, easy to work with, inspires confidence so you can just relax and enjoy your day. With her vast knowledge and experience she seemingly, effortlessly navigates through the process to capture your every desired shot as well as those oh so special candids (which I cherish ❤️). I feel grateful to have met such a special individual who helped create my dream wedding. Do not hesitate to hire her for your event! She will make it AMAZING!
Working with Hillary was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. I knew I wanted to have timeless, warm photos that I’d look back on happily for years to come. When I read Hillary’s reviews and saw her work, I knew it was the vibe I was going for. My husband and I look so much like ourselves and our happiness on our wedding day truly shines through. In the moments when you need Hillary, she tells you exactly how to stand, how to angle, and you can tell she’s always thinking about how to make everyone look their best and feel comfortable. But then there are so many wedding moments where she and her assistant are flies on the wall, capturing the candid smiles and special moments. Some of my favorite photos are the ones I didn’t even know were happening. Hillary is reliable and truly excellent at her craft. You will be thrilled with your photos and memories when you work with Hillary!
My husband & I married in October this year & are reliving our best day ever thanks to Hillary C’s beautiful photo work, which we are still perusing with great delight. She is personable, clearly has a great eye & very successfully captured many magical moments in our most special day. Many thanks Hillary, so lucky & happy we connected with you!! SAB
Hillary is fantastic! We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos and highly, highly recommend her! She was so helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process, and really went above and beyond, helping us find a videographer when our videographer canceled last minute, and sending "sneak peek" photos a few days after the wedding. Her photos are incredible – it's difficult to choose which ones to frame because they are all so good!
Hillary was fantastic! She accommodated us with a lot of things and she had really fantastic creative idea for pictures. She’s so friendly and chill, her personality really works during the crazy times of the wedding. Her partner was also really great to work with and he was really nice. I recommend her for any event!
Hillary was an outstanding choice for our wedding photographer and we can't recommend her enough. We couldn't be happier with the job she did on our wedding day along with her assistant and we couldn't have asked for someone more easy to work with. She was so easy going throughout the process which was such a relief given what a stressful time wedding planning can be. Leading up to our wedding, she asked us to send a list of everyone we wanted a photo with which made the day of run smoothly. When it came to our wedding day, she somehow always managed to be around whenever I was thinking to myself "this would be a good shot." Any time I would find friends or family I wanted to snag a photo with I'd turn around and she would be there! She was also so helpful as my husband and I went around the room from table to table to try to get a photo with all of our guests. What would have otherwise been chaotic, she was able to facilitate with ease. We're so grateful she helped us make our day so special!
Hillary is the BEST!! She captured my day so beautifully, and we truly couldn’t be happier. On top of that, she is such an incredible human and made me and my (now) husband feel so comfortable the whole day!! I loved working with her, and she is SO talented. A photographer was one of hardest vendors for me to find, and I feel so lucky to have found her! Highly recommend!!!
Hillary was the photographer on our wedding day and is the best photographer we have ever worked with. Hillary was very professional and did an amazing job at making sure we got all the shots taken and our photos came out amazing. All my guests from over the world coming to attend our wedding loved Hillary’s work a lot. I would love to work with Hillary in all our future events and would recommend Hillary to anyone who needs a great photographer for their events. Thank you Hillary !
Stephen & Van
We are so in love with all the photos Hilary took of both our engagement and wedding!! Our big day did not have the best forecast, but Hilary made some magic happen! She kept everyone’s spit hit and every photo is flawless!
The entire planning process was a breeze. Hilary came ready with a list of all the photos we wanted of our friends and family. She already had the detail shots of flowers and rings done before I was even stressed! She also came up with some beautiful ideas of photos we had not thought of. Hilary also had a set of photos for us the day after our wedding - all of which we wanted to hang on our wall!
Her patience and flexibility kept us all calm and focused on the importance of the day. We could not have asked for a better photographer on our wedding day. We love Hilary and all of her work!
I cannot recommend Hillary's wedding photography services enough. Not only was she and her second photographer such pleasures to spend my wedding day with, but her photos are absolutely beautiful and exactly what I was looking for, not to mention they came so fast! She is thoughtful in taking the photos on your list but also captures the special moments in between. Hiring her was the best decision I made!
We were lucky to have Hillary photograph our wedding this summer in Connecticut. Preparing for the event was simple and you could tell she based her plan on our meetings before the event. She's not only an excellent photographer, but she's friendly and professional at every step. I recognized this first in the way she wrangled both families for portraits after the ceremony with precision and good humor. We were able to get a ton of photos and still have time for our couples shots before the reception. As for the rest of the night, she and her assistant quietly slipped into the background, capturing all of the important details, including some we couldn't notice because we were to busy having fun. We would highly recommend her for your big event.
Hillary was an absolute dream to work with. We connected on day one and she made both of us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Hillary was very detail oriented and went above and beyond! She came out to my childhood home for our engagement party and took photos that my family will cherish forever.
For our wedding day, she and her partner made sure to capture every moment. On the spot, she was able to make quick changes and adjustments and work with our timeline. She turned around photos for our sneak peek so quickly I didn't even realize they were already in my inbox! Thank you a hundred times over for making our day so special Hillary. We will definitely call you again for all photo needs!!!
Hillary was awesome! Super responsive & easy to work with. The pictures look amazing and we are so glad we went with her! Would absolutely recommend!
Hillary is nothing short of amazing! She seamlessly fit into our special evening and made it even more magical. The photos themselves were, of course, incredible. Still, more than that, Hillary has the patience, attitude, and general professionalism tied with a unique warmth that enables her to do such a magnificent job. We could not have asked for a better photographer experience for our engagement and recommend Hillary entirely!!! Thank you, Hillary, for being part of and capturing our special day.
Hillary is absolutely WONDERFUL!! We worked with her for our small wedding ceremony a few weeks ago and she exceeded our expectations! She is extremely professional, personable, and overall a pleasure to work with. She made us feel so comfortable and we are incredibly happy with the end product. Would 100% recommend her to anyone for their special occasion!
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, Hillary is it! She was so fun and easy to work with. Hillary plans with you ahead of time and she is ready to help you with the whole process. She made us feel super comfortable in all of our pictures and also made sure that we got all the family and friend photos we wanted for the big day. She went above and beyond for us and we couldn't have asked for more. On top of being an amazing photographer, Hillary is a genuine and kind person. You will love working with her, and you will love too many pictures that it'll make it hard to pick your favorites.
Hillary is AMAZING!! The easiest and best decision we made for our wedding and I can guarantee you will feel the same! Hillary is truly talented, took absolutely STUNNING photos and also made us feel so comfortable. We worked with her for our wedding and not only did she send us some amazing preview shots within days, we received the full set of pictures within three weeks of our wedding!!! I am in love with our pictures -- I really don't think there is one bad shot, each picture is better than the last! In addition to her amazing talent, Hillary is also extremely professional. Hillary communicated with us regularly from the very beginning, even sending us inspiration for specific details we had mentioned in passing. Hillary is amazing and I cannot recommend her enough!!!!

Hillary took the most beautiful pictures of our wedding day. Not only was she so patient and kind with us, she absolutely knows what she is doing and I even feel like I learned a lot about how to pose in pictures!
Hillary photographed my son's Bar Mitzvah in April 2022. She did an OUTSTANDING job of capturing the feel, beautiful and love that filled this event. Her images are absolutely beautiful and she couldn't have been easier to work with. I highly recommend her for any event that you want to remember. She will do an amazing job.
My husband and I got married on October 2, 2021, and had Hillary do our engagement and wedding photos. All I can say is, Hillary does not disappoint! My sister hired Hillary as her wedding photographer about 6 years ago, so it was no brainer when I was choosing a photographer that I wanted her to capture our special day. She is super easy to work with, creative, organized, professional, listens to what you want, and makes you feel comfortable. Hillary is also extremely patient. We had five children under the age of six in our wedding party, and Hillary and her team managed to get them to stay still and smile in order to get some fabulous photos of the entire wedding party. Then, after the wedding, Hillary was quick in getting us our photos. Needless to say, if you are trying to find a wedding photographer – look no further - hire Hillary!
Hillary is AMAZING!! We worked with her for our wedding 2 weeks ago.. not only did she send us almost 200 preview shots within days, we received our full album this week. And I'm in love with our pictures! They are stunning.
In addition to fabulous work, Hillary is also just an awesome and professional person! She was accessible and communicated with us regularly from the very beginning. We told her exactly what we wanted for our wedding day, and she delivered. Would recommend her 1000%!
Hillary is an outstanding photographer and a dream to work with. She is professional, patient, timely and super responsive! Leading up to my wedding day, Hillary answered all my questions and she truly listened to what my partner and I wanted. We asked for Candid pictures and we have some incredible moments captured on photo. On our one month anniversary, my husband and I are reliving our wedding day through our gorgeous pictures. Our wedding pictures are AMAZING! Everyone who sees them comments on the quality and beauty of our pictures. Hillary has an art for what she does and the love for her craft can be seen in the moments she captures.
I have beautiful pictures forever!
My husband and I only have wonderful things to say about Hillary. She is talented, professional, fun, creative, and was really willing to work with us on everything from our rescheduled wedding to ideas we had.
Hillary was the perfect person to have around us on a stressful day with her calm energy and lovely demeanor. Perhaps most importantly, her photos are GORGEOUS and she got them back to us quickly. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
Hillary was our photographer for our civil ceremony. She was on time and professional. She really put us at ease, made us feel comfortable. She suggested the meeting spot to take our photos outside and they came out beautiful with fall foliage in full display. She was even able to capture some photos in the dark with our family that arrived later. She also gave us a “sneak peak” of our pictures very promptly with the rest following pretty quickly. She is affordable and very sweet, answers emails quickly. I will definitely be using Hillary in the future again for any other major life events. Highly recommend.
Hillary was an absolute blessing. I reached out to her a mere four days before the ceremony, and she was so incredibly kind and patient throughout the entire process. She took amazing photos, and braved the rain throughout the best day of our lives. She helped coordinate the family, and made the afternoon fly by. I couldn’t recommend her more ✨ Thank you Hillary! 💕
My husband and I got married in November of 2021. I have to say that Hillary was extremely easy to get along with and knew exactly what she was doing. I loved how personable she was with everyone in the wedding party, it was like she knew all of us for a long time. We were very comfortable with her throughout the whole day. She delivered our photos very fast and the whole process of choosing which photos we wanted in our album and what we wanted to download was easy. She is definitely a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her.
We got married during a hurricane this past summer. Hillary and her assistant Tom, who was also great, were there on time and easily adapted to the challenges with the weather as well as our shift in scheduling. The photos came out so well! We absolutely love them. They were exactly what we wanted. She is an extremely talented photographer! Working with Hillary was great. She is extremely responsive throughout the entire process. We strongly recommend working with her!
My husband and I used Hillary for our courthouse wedding. Her pictures came out stunning. She was able to get the final pictures to us super quickly. Hillary was always very responsive whenever I had questions before the big day. I wholly recommend her for your photography needs.
So if your reading this and trying to decide whether to book Hillary ( like I was ) DO IT!! I usually like someone who makes me feel comfortable and not rushed. We’ll we got that and so much more from Hillary. What I liked the most was it didn’t feel like a transaction to be completed, it felt like she genuinely cared about making our photos and day special. She was interested in details. Me and my husband feel blessed to have found her and will be getting any future photos done with her.
Just amazing. I highly recommend Hillary. We hired her for our wedding. She was knowledgeable about the photos, lightning, etc. She was friendly and warm. I had no idea what to expect or what photos I should take, she gave us idea which was great. I may even hiring her again for a 1 year anniversary photoshoot.
Hillary photographed our wedding and wow! We are thrilled with the photos and she got them to us so quickly. Cannot recommend her enough. She is very skilled, really easy to work with, and very accommodating to our schedule (covid couple, had to reschedule). She put a lot of work into the preparation, and we're so happy we went with her. Her second shooter, Tom was also great.
Hillary C. is a consummate professional. She was very responsive leading up to the wedding day. We really appreciated how on top of it she was from beginning to end. Before the wedding day I really felt like she listened to us and took the reins which was SO helpful because the last 2 weeks of wedding planning is so stressful no matter how prepared you are. The day of she was seemingly everywhere at once (and her assistant was lovely as well). She captured so many moments that we will cherish forever. We did not feel the need to direct her in any way and were able to fully enjoy and be present on our wedding day. She gained that trust during wedding planning and completely exceeded our expectations when we received the photos. I highly, highly, recommend working with her. She has a great personality, is a skilled photographer, and is an all-around professional.
My husband and I contacted Hillary for our wedding and engagement photos. We were initially drawn to her journalistic style but ultimately her energy was a big selling point! Very responsive, communicative, and of course patient with all the changes a Covid wedding brings. We felt so relaxed at our engagement shoot (the photos were UNREAL) and we knew that she would not disappoint with the wedding photos. She brought a second photographer who was just as skilled. We can't wait to print the photos and share them with our friends and family. We were on a budget (like more couples) and Hillary worked with us to make it happen. We're looking forward to working with Hillary in the future for all of our events and celebrations.
Hillary was honestly the best photographer we've ever worked with. All of her pictures came out amazing! She also made us feel so incredibly comfortable throughout both our engagement shoot and the wedding. She worked with us to make sure we got all the shots we wanted, and she was a total professional and very easy to communicate with. I'd recommend her to anyone (and already have!). I know our friends who also booked Hillary for their wedding had a similarly excellent experience. Thanks Hillary!
Hillary did a spectacular job with our engagement photos! Not only is she very talented, she was also flexible in terms of scheduling when and where the photoshoot would be and made it very fun. She also got the images to us quickly. We highly recommend her!
Hillary was an absolute pleasure to work with! She's professional, yet down-to-Earth and flexible. She listens and really cares about capturing what is most important to you. We were amazed at how beautiful our wedding photos turned out. Having never done a professional photo shoot, Hillary made us feel at ease - and the results showed! She's great at being discreet and produces natural candid shots as well as portraits. We were also very impressed with how quickly our photos were ready. We couldn't be happier we booked Hillary C. Photography for our wedding!
Hillary was the photographer for my wedding and she was absolutely amazing. She came as a recommendation from a family friend and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. I was hoping to get a few good shots to maybe put in a frame for my bedside table; I ended up with close to 200 pictures I absolutely LOVE! She was exceptionally organized, professional, easygoing, got pictures of every random family combination we wanted, and went out of her way to take pictures of all these little things I would never have thought of, with STUNNING results. I got an app for my phone to which she sent her favorite photos, so now I have tons of photos on my phone I can show all the family and friends that weren't able to make it. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone.
Hillary's photography was absolutely amazing. I hired her for my daughter's wedding. The pictures are phenomenal and she and Tom were so pleasant and easy to work with. I give Hillary my highest recommendation!
Hilary was so extremely pleasant to work with starting from our engagement shoot to the end of the wedding day. She was extremely responsive, professional, and handled my bridezilla behavior in the most understanding way. Regarding the photos she took - we can’t stop crying, Hilary and her assistant caught all of the special moments and more. Less than two weeks after we received highlights and then a printed proof book instead of hundreds of printed photos to sift through. Best decision to hire Hilary, you will not regret it!
We had such a great experience with Hilary! She was able to capture our vision perfectly and made us feel so comfortable. This was the first time I had ever done a photo shoot and she was able to break us out of our shell for the most amazing pictures. Everyone has complimented our engagment photos so much and I am So excited to use them for our save the dates! Highly recommend!
I'm so grateful I had Hillary as our wedding photographer! The hunt for an affordable while professional and artistic photographer can be really rough and stressful, but Hillary checked all the boxes and was so easy to work with! On top of being a joy to be with on our wedding day Hillary was also so fast in getting us our photos after the fact. Thank you so much!!
We had a great experience having Hillary as the photographer for our wedding in April. She was not only very professional and organized, but remained unobtrusive during the event. She captured all of the important moments of the day with high quality images. Her post-event site was easy for us to create the album we wanted. We are looking forward to have the album that we have ordered. We highly recommend Hillary for any special event.
I feel like I won the lottery with Hillary. I picked her somewhat randomly just based on the portfolio on her website and she was PERFECT. Totally blended in with the feel of the wedding and the photos turned out exactly as I had hoped. So many special memories captured!
I could not have picked a better person for our small event! Hillary was willing to work with me even with a small order and we had such a great time having her there. The photos came out beautifully and the website is so easy to use! Thank you!
Hillary was great! Very responsive and friendly in the planning phase, prompt in her arrival to our wedding venue and makes you feel very comfortable and natural! Our photos turned out amazing!!
Hillary took amazing pictures of our wedding and she was very professional, so easy to work with and had great ideas for our desired photos. Highly recommend!!!
Amazing day.
Hillary and her assistant did were great and made our day extra special.
Hillary is awesome! I didn't give her much direction, I just wanted some nice family photos of our wedding vowel renewal and she delivered. The photos were beyond my expectations and they capture beautiful moments. I love all of the photos! I highly recommend Hillary.
Hillary did an absolutely incredible job as the lead photographer at my outdoor wedding in September 2019. Throughout the process, Hillary was professional, warm, creative, and authentic. Now more than ever before, I am so grateful that Hillary was able to capture the joy and love on that special day.
Hillary was better than we ever could imagine! After 2 COVID postponements we decided to have a small ceremony in less than a month planning time. Hillary was so encouraging and friendly from the first phone call. She made everything easy the day of and everyone loved her! She got rave reviews even from my grandparents! We had all our wedding photos available within 2 weeks! I will encourage all my friends to hire her in the future. Thank you Hillary for everything :-)
We originally hired Hillary to photograph our large August 2020 wedding. When we postponed due to the pandemic and decided to hold a tiny ceremony this year, we were glad to learn that Hillary was available and able to come photograph that event as well. Throughout the process, Hillary was extremely responsive, easy to work with, and helpful as we planned our wedding timeline. We're not a couple who particularly enjoys having our photos taken, and Hillary helped us feel at ease the whole time. The photos are beautiful! We're looking forward to working with Hillary again for our postponed larger celebration, and we would highly recommend her!
Hillary's photography captures the mood and the light perfectly, and it's also delightful to work with her. Due to the pandemic, we postponed my daughter's larger reception and had a "micro wedding" in Massachusetts. Hillary instantly volunteered to drive to MA to photograph the smaller ceremony and we're extremely happy with the photos.
Hillary is a fantastic photographer. She truly cares about your special day. She also takes the time to learn about your specific needs and do her best to make sure she gives you the best experience possible. I would recommend her 150% to anyone who is looking for a smart and talented photographer.

I was so impressed by Hillary's care and professionalism. She was so through, prompt, and clear. She made me feel comfortable (which is hard for me) in front of the camera. She had a quick turn around time for the pictures and album. Compared to my friends we got them in about half of the time! I am so thrilled that I chose Hillary.
Hillary did a wonderful job photographing our elopement. She provided much needed guidance for the timing of the event and worked with us to find different backdrops for after the ceremony. She made sure everything went smoothly and she captured the photos we wanted. She delivered the photos in a week and also wished us a happy 1-week anniversary; very sweet.
We look forward to having Hillary photograph our reception next month. It was great to have our first experience with her so that our second can be even better!
If you want perfection to capture your special moment, look no further than Hillary. She took our wedding pictures and they turned out amazing. She is superbly talented and very nice. All our friends and family complemented the pictures and asked for Hillary's contact info for their events. Also, Hillary did not made us feel rushed or pressured in any way. She captured real shots while things were moving fast and did an exceptional job.
Hillary was an absolute dream wedding photographer. When we had our first consultation to discuss wedding details, overall vibe of the event, etc I knew immediately she would be a perfect fit. She was extremely professional, easy to work with, and showed us some of her excellent work so she could see what kind of shots/style we were gravitating towards. On the day of the event, Hillary was an absolute dream. We had some unexpected rain before the ceremony and Hillary was calm, cool, and kept us all right on track. She kept the entire experience fun and stress free, and I cannot thank her enough for that. The turn-around time for our photos was SO fast, we hardly had to wait to see the final product. When my husband and I went through our photos for the first time we were completely blown away, it was so much more than I even could have asked for. She captured not only the essence of our wedding but who my husband and I are as a couple.
The photos are so above and beyond any idea of what I thought fabulous wedding photos could look like. Now, years later, I still have people complimenting me on my gorgeous wedding photos, and I'm always happy to pass Hillary's name along. This is a no-brainer, if you're looking for creative, stunning photos of your event look no further!!!!
Hillary was our wedding photographer. She is super kind, talented and accomodating.
Our wedding day was rainy at first so she offered to take the photos in the mansion we rented and the pictures were just gorgeous. She has an eye for details and has amazing ideas on how to pose and what lighting works best. She would take pictures once and they will turn out amazing. She is very professional and even designed our wedding album. The way she arranged the pictures in album was extremely thoughtful. Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Highly recommended.

I might be dating myself, but I can still remember my first camera. It was pink, and used something called 110 film that (almost) no one getting married today will have ever heard of. After pursuing a BFA in photography, I started working for a local event studio and discovered the world of wedding photography. Many years, and many events later, I opened Hillary C. Photography to capture weddings the way I'd want my own wedding captured, naturally and with heart.
