- Hillary is truly the best wedding photographer! We looked at so many photographers prior to booking and instantly knew Hillary was the one when we looked at her website. Her style is timeless, light, and bright and we knew she would capture our wedding day beautifully. Throughout the booking process, Hillary was so flexible and willing to accommodate coming to our undergraduate campus for our engagement session to take photos in the place we met. Aside from her breathtaking pictures, the thing we loved most about Hillary was her organization. She sent us a brochure with answers to every question we could have had after booking that really helped us with making our timeline and envisioning our day. We filled out a questionnaire prior to the wedding so that we could tell her what was most important to capture on our wedding day and she then created a customized photography timeline to make sure all of those details and moments were incorporated. She was a calming presence on the day of the wedding and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I would highly recommend Hillary and we hope to book with her for family pictures in the future!
I would highly recommend Hillary to photograph your wedding! She was professional, very responsive, and helpful in answering all questions leading up to the event. Her timeline she proactively provided us was great for anchoring our entire wedding day timeline. I also appreciated her flexibility - she was willing to work with us on things that were important to us for our wedding (shooting the rehearsal dinner instead of engagement pictures and extending the wedding day photography hours). The photos are absolutely perfect and capture our wedding so beautifully!
Hillary was an absolute dream to work with! Her easy going nature made our engagement session feel so comfortable from the start. We had some weather issues, that resulting in rescheduling photos not once but twice, and she was very flexible and accommodating during this time. On our wedding day, Hillary made sure the day flowed with ease. She also captured THE BEST candid shots. She was one of the very first vendors I booked, and I’m so thankful I did - I would highly recommend her. I can’t wait treasure these photos for years to come!
Hillary was absolutely amazing to work with for both our engagement pictures and wedding photography! She was very easy going and friendly, and helped us to feel a lot more comfortable in front of the camera. The quality of the pictures we have received is stunning, and we have gotten so many compliments from friends and family! I can't thank Hillary enough for how she captured all the special moments of our wedding day, and would absolutely recommend her in the future!
Hillary was truly amazing to work with. She is exceptionally organized, very kind, and takes amazing photographs. She was able to capture our wedding with so much emotion behind each picture. She does a great job of directing and organizing a wedding party, but also gets all of the candid moments. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!
My husband and I loved working with Hillary to photograph our wedding. She took our engagement pictures as well and we really loved how welcoming and sweet she is. She was on time with every meeting, she was professional, and most importantly, she saw our vision and made it come to life. We loved having Hillary capture our special day and we highly recommend her to our family and friends!
Hillary was the best! Her esthetic was so beautiful and romantic, we knew it was exactly how we wanted our big day captured. She was also so easy to work with, so patient and calm. She was also so organized the day of, keeping all of our bridal party straight and efficiently capturing group pictures. Her work is truly art and we are so lucky to have had her capture our big day! I can't wait for her to capture more of our life moments to come!
Hillary is truly the BEST. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our Wedding day. We are obsessed with our beautiful photos and how she captured every perfect part of our day.
Absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with.. I first met Hillary for my sister's wedding last year and knew right away that I also had to have her photograph our day!! I booked her as soon as we got our date!
Not only is Hillary is talented, but she is sweet, professional and super attentive to capturing every detail and special moment...she truly makes sure to get every shot you ask for and more. She makes you feel comfortable and makes it fun even when you might be feeling anxious on your big day.
She exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend her to capture the moments of any occasion especially your wedding! Thank you Hillary!! Xo
OK WOW - I truly have no idea where to start. But, here is what I will say when we received our wedding gallery we got multiple calls/texts from family members crying telling us how perfectly they captured our day.
Hilary was our first choice photographer and we were so excited to work with her. She flew to NYC twice (once for the engagement shoot) and early to shoot our welcome party before the wedding.
We were first drawn to Hilary's photos because of the story they told, and how she captures not only "staged/formal photos" but also all the candid and intimate ones - which turned out to be our favorites.
In terms of working with her. Fast/prompt/responsive. I am a VERY type-a bride, and Hilary went above and beyond to make sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed. Also on the day of the wedding, we unexpectedly had to change photo locations and Hilary handled the change like the pro she is - and got more photos (honestly better) than expected.
Is it too early to renew our vows so that we can work with Hilary again?

Hillary is absolutely amazing. We met Hillary over a year ago for our engagement session. She made it very easy and effortless while capturing gorgeous little moments. My now-husband was concerned about feeling goofy or awkward but he looked very handsome and strong with Hillary's great cues. This was great practice for the wedding day.
On wedding day, she was punctual, sweet, and very professional. The groomsmen were very excited and chaotic at times, but Hillary was able to grab their attentions and get the photos we needed. Throughout the night, she checked in to make sure we got all the photos that we wanted.
Since we have known Hillary over a year ago, we have had multiple friends work with her for their weddings and family portraits. I would highly recommend Hillary Muelleck Photography again and again!
We cannot say enough great things about Hillary and feel so lucky that we were able to find her to shoot our big day. She is warm, kind, professional but not stiff, and made us feel at home in front of the camera, which was a big feat! Hillary's communication style and organization put us at ease, as she was always on top of every detail throughout the planning process. She was patient with our ever-changing schedules and tight timelines on the wedding day, shooting above and beyond what we could have hoped to capture for all our events. We cannot thank her or recommend her enough and are so thrilled she was with us on our big day!
My husband and I could not have been happier with the photos from our wedding! Hillary was amazing to work with and I am continually amazed at the quality of the photos. Her attention to the details is impeccable and she made sure to capture all the shots that were most important to us. Hillary was not only able to capture the special moments, but she captured the love and joy of every moment as well. We will cherish these photos forever! We cannot thank Hillary enough for being there for us and for taking such excellent photos of our wedding day!
Hilary is absolutely hands down incredible. I have admired her work for so long and after I booked her I was counting down the days to see how she would capture my day. I am thrilled that I was absolutely floored with joy at the results. Hillary is without a doubt one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She is incredibly professional, and kind, and was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail is incredible hands down and I would hire her again if I could!!! :)
Hillary is the best! She is so kind and fun to work with and her photos are AMAZING! My husband and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!
Hillary photographed our engagement photos and is set to photograph our wedding! She did an amazing job on our engagement photos. We've received so many compliments. I love seeing them around our house on the prints we ordered. Hillary's style is light and airy and just looks so classic. I love that she shoots both digital and film. She is so talented so you can't go wrong with choosing her for your photographer!
Hillary is EVERYTHING you could ever want in a photographer!! If you were anything like us, pouring over portfolios, paralyzed by indecision, stop right here and hire Hillary. You will not be disappointed! Hiring Hillary was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding day. Not only is she incredibly talented and skilled in her work, she is also so much fun and easy to work with!! Hillary is professional, communicative, organized, timely, and she delivers the exact product she promises. We have the everlasting gift of gorgeous wedding photos that truly capture the emotions of the day, the details, and all of those little moments. As soon as we hired her we breathed easier because we knew we were in good hands. We felt so prepared for our wedding day, she curated a detailed timeline that was catered to our unique vision, we were able to prepare all of the accessories necessary for details photos according to her checklist, and she even arrived early to our getting ready venue. Our family members loved her just as much as we did, we received so many compliments on how well she directed family members in order to capture the photos on our wishlist. She worked seamlessly with our other vendors even though she isn't local to our area, and despite a rainy afternoon she stayed focused and never complained! She is magic, and we would choose her over and over again. We would recommend her to anyone and hope to have another opportunity to work with her in the future! We cannot thank her enough for making our day so special. Thank you Hillary!!!
Hillary captures and creates magic! She perfectly captured the most special day (and all its tiny moments) so amazingly well... And that's only after seeing the sneak peaks! She's an extremely personable individual, with an artistic eye, she will make your experience truly memorable! Hillary is simply the best and we would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants a true professional to create a customized photography experience.
Hillary, we can't wait to have you capture more memorable experiences in the future!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Hillary and her photography. Choosing the right photographer for your wedding is one of the most important parts, and we could not have been more happy with her. Hillary is prompt, communicative, and highly organized. She did both our engagement photos and wedding photos and made everything so easy and fun for us. The photo quality is unreal and I am so happy with everything she has done for us. We even had a sneak peek of our wedding photos within w week of our event. We will definitely be using Hillary in the future for all of our photographer needs!
Hillary did an amazing job! We are so grateful for how she really captured each element and emotion of the day. We had her photograph each event of the wedding weekend and so glad that we did! Our families and friends have been raving about the quality of the photos.
We loved working with Hillary! She take beautiful photos and is so professional. Highly recommend!
Hillary was the best wedding decision we made! She is personable and professional and made our wedding vision come to life. Hillary was quick to respond for any questions we had during the planning process. She captured every photo better than we could have imagined. We were amazed by the sneak peek album we received 24 hours after our wedding day! We can not recommend Hillary enough for your big day!!
Hillary was amazing! She was willing to work with our budget and she was also very easy to work with. She produced beautiful pictures that I will cherish forever!
I only have positive things to say about Hillary. She emailed me a sneak peek of my wedding gallery last week and, wow - I am SO happy she captured our special day. Seriously, I can’t stop staring at these photos! The color is just absolutely stunning. She is so talented, positive, and thorough. On our wedding day, she went out of her way to capture all the unique details we put into our celebration that reflect my husband and I as a couple. Thank you so much, Hillary!
Where do I begin with Hillary?!! She is so incredibly talented! We were originally looking for photographers in the North Jersey area and stumbled upon her work and fell in love! We knew we had to have her photograph our wedding. She traveled to us for our engagement session and the photos were so beautiful along with the stunning film photos too. She just showed us a sneak peek of our wedding and are blown away along with our family and friends! She is so sweet, funny, super detailed and didn’t miss a single shot! If you are looking for your wedding photographer... Hillary and her team is your girl! She is the absolute best! Thank you so much for documenting this special time in our lives!
Hillary did an exceptional job as our wedding photographer. We contacted her because of the great reviews she had and she did not disappoint. From the very beginning, she has been extremely responsive and detail oriented.I reached out to her at the early stages of my wedding planning, and she immediately responded and sent over photos and a detailed wedding planning guide that was extremely helpful in getting ready for my big day. On the day of our wedding, she was professional, prepared, and knew exactly what she was doing. She kept us moving during our photography session and made everything so easy for us. We were up against the clock and trying to make sure we were able to get our pictures in before it started raining and Hillary was very efficient and got every picture we wanted and then some, while keeping the session moving along. Her sneak peak pictures were absolutely stunning. We plan on using Hillary again for future family portraits.
Hillary was the photographer for our wedding that took place on May 17, 2021 at the Biltmore Estate. What initially drew me to hiring Hillary for my wedding was her photography style as after seeing her portfolio I loved how perfectly dreamy and romantic her photos were. I had done a ton of research on photographers and everyone that was listed on the Biltmore Estate preferred vendor list had a dark and moody aesthetic to their photographs, which was not my style at all. I wanted to partner with a photographer that could help me create timeless, etherial photos that looked more like a styled wedding shoot than your traditional wedding photography.
I felt like Hillary really took the time to listen to what mattered the most to me regarding what I wanted prioritize having captured on my wedding day. She reviewed my Pinterest board and had detailed conversations with me to understand exactly where on the estate would be optimal for the look I was going for. The results? Well my photographs were better than I could’ve ever imagined - I am SO IN LOVE with my sneak peek wedding pictures I’ve seen so far.
The sneak peek photos were so good that my sister, Christine Hunt of Grey Meets Gold, who works in the wedding industry as a wedding stationery thought they were stunning that she recommended them getting submitted to bridal magazines to be featured.
Anytime I emailed Hillary she was always very quick to respond to me which I REALLY appreciated and the level of detail she brought to the day of my wedding was amazing.
I also really appreciated that she had a sneak peak of our wedding photos available for us to view within 48 hours after my wedding.
Hillary will definitely be the person I call for any photos we need in the future such as for our annual Christmas card, family portraits, and I would go the lengths of hiring her for my step-children's weddings when it's their time. I will also encourage all friends and family to hire Hillary for their wedding or any of their photography needs.
Hillary thank you so much for your time, understanding and capturing my wedding day so so beautifully.
My wedding sneak peak photos are incredible and I will treasure them forever!! I can’t wait to see the full album.
P.S. I would LOVE to work with you again and if you need any models for bridal styled shoots, please let me know. :)
Hiring Hillary was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
She was unbelievably kind and supportive throughout our engagement and her flexibility made adjusting to COVID (which happened AFTER we hired her, set a date, and booked a venue) much more manageable.
Our photos turned out STUNNING, of course, and my husband and I cannot wait to look back on them in the many years to come.
If you’re considering hiring Hillary to photograph your wedding (or anything, for that matter), do so immediately! You won’t regret it.
Hillary the photographer for our wedding that took place on January the 30th 2021. What initially drew me to hiring Hillary for my wedding was her photography style as after seeing her portfolio I loved how perfect, dreamy, bright and romantic her photos were.
During my initial meeting with Hillary, I felt she understood my unique and complex position of being a foreign bride getting married during a pandemic
(Groom from Raleigh, I’m from
Australia- we initially planned to elope with our families somewhere in the middle but due to the pandemic we had to change plans and ended up getting married in Raleigh with no friends/family from my side as they were all unable to travel due to Australia’s strict pandemic travel ban).
I felt like Hillary really took the time to listen to what mattered the most to me regarding what I wanted prioritize having captured on my wedding day.
She listen to me and took all those things I said onboard and the result were better than I could’ve ever imagined- I am soooooo in love with my sneak peak wedding pictures I’ve seen so far.
Also anytime I emailed Hillary she was always very quick to respond to me which I REALLY appreciated!
It was also an added bonus of how well she worked with everyone on my wedding day (all our guests thought she was so sweet and made a point of saying she wasn’t one of those crazy obvious obnoxious photographers that can sometimes ruin the ceremony) as well as how well she worked and got along with my other vendors (my videographer and her worked seamlessly together).
I also really appreciated that she had a sneak peak of our wedding photos available for us to view THE DAY AFTER my wedding.
Hillary will definitely be the person I call for any photos we need in the future such as for our annual Christmas card, potential newborn or any family portraits down the road. I will also encourage all friends and family to hire Hillary for their wedding or any of their photography needs.
Hillary thank you so much for your time, understanding and capturing my wedding day so so beautifully.
My wedding sneak peak photos are incredible and I will treasure them forever!! I can’t wait to see the full album
Hillary did an outstanding job photographing our wedding! Not only was she incredible at her job, she was very professional, knowledgeable, kind, and literally made my wedding day easier for me. She was willing to help with anything and made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I had no worries that day knowing that she was taking care of everything and doing her job to the fullest potential, and even beyond that! We are SO happy we chose her to capture the best day of our lives. The pictures are timeless and so elegant. Book her for your wedding (or anything really)!!
Hillary is the best wedding photographer I could ever imagine!! She is super friendly, fast, and made our entire wedding process a breeze from start to finish. She was extremely flexible through the numerous changes we made due to covid, and her pictures from our wedding at the Duke Mansion are absolutely breathtaking.
Hillary had a large “sneak peak” album ready the day after our wedding (perfect for sharing with family and friends), and the full album was ready early, too!
I was drawn to Hillary because of the quality of her pictures, but I was blown away by how professional and wonderful she was to work with! Would absolutely recommend Hillary to everyone!!!
We scheduled Hillary last minute for our “micro-wedding” when our plans had to be adjusted due to COVID. She offered a plan and price that worked perfectly for us since we weren’t going to need her for longer than an hour and a half. She even had “sneak peak” photos ready for us that night after the ceremony! I’m obsessed with all of them, they turned out so good, I can’t wait to see the rest!
Hillary was absolutely the best to work with. I’m glad we were lucky enough to find her for our small COVID wedding. She was very professional and put us at ease. This definitely was not her first time. The pictures came out absolutely amazing and to have the whole gallery so quickly was definitely a plus. I would recommend Hillary to anyone looking for a great experience and even better pictures!!
Hillary was amazing to work with! We scheduled an engagement session with our 3 dogs and she made the experience fun--we got the cutest pictures. It was great to get an idea of how she worked in advance of our wedding day. What can I say about Hillary and her assistant on our wedding day--um, they were the best! When there was a last minute issue with taking pictures at the church, she just made it work and we have some incredible pics from the balcony of the sanctuary. Hillary is a true artist. We really wanted candid/unposed shots of our friends and family and she delivered. I can't say enough about how professional she was, easy, and fun!
Hillary is incredibly talented and easy to work with. She was able to capture some absolutely priceless moments from my proposal and was nice enough to walk with us afterwards for a small photo shoot. I would recommend Hillary to anyone.
Our wedding was only about a week ago, but Hillary sent us our sneak peek photos within just four days and they are STUNNING. We had our engagement shoot with Hillary as well, so I knew the photos would be beautiful, but I am honestly blown away by each and every photo we have received so far, and these are only a few of what will be our wedding album! Hillary is incredibly sweet and worked with us throughout our entire engagement all the way up until our wedding to ensure we got the photos and shots we really wanted. More importantly, I never felt posed or unnatural. All of our photos show the true and real emotions of the day, just pure happiness. Thank you so much Hillary for everything! If you are looking for a professional, upbeat, and just all around fantastic photographer, this girl right here is it!
Getting the right photographer was the most important parts of planning our wedding, since it was someone we’d be working with our entire wedding day and photos are something we’d treasure forever. I’m SO glad we found Hillary! She’s AMAZING! I did a ton of research on photographers (I come from a picky family of photographers) and finding which style I prefered before we found Hillary. She came highly recommended, and she went even above and beyond what we hoped for!
Hillary is an amazing, experienced professional, and truly wonderful to work with. She’s down to earth, sweet, up-beat, and very encouraging. She was extremely attentive to emails throughout the entire wedding process - a blessing, considering we planned our wedding from out of state. She skyped us for our initial consult, and then met us for engagement pictures around our crazy schedules. Upon first meeting her back in May, she instantly made us relax with her friendliness, quick smile, and assurances that everything was looking wonderful. I’ve never seen my husband so willing or excited to have his picture taken before. The session flew by, and we were giddy by the end, ready to jump ahead a few months to wedding day to get to take more photos with her. (Added bonus - she shoots film & digital, and everything looks great!)
On wedding day, she showed up ready for action. She went with the flow, bending the timeline as needed. I really appreciated that she used beautiful natural light in our photos, and used our venue, its grounds, and the rooms as backdrops for photos rather than bringing a styling kit. I love that she didn’t pose us throughout our wedding and photos during our first look and cocktail hour, but instead took photos of us with suggestions of what to do next, making it feel much more relaxed, natural, and exciting. She was accommodating and flexible, even when our large family milled around instead of gathering for group shots. She captured the small details, like my husband singing to me during our first dance, and kept everyone relaxed and smiling effortlessly throughout the afternoon and evening. Even my dad, who hates getting photos taken and blinks in nearly every picture, relaxed in front of her camera and looked wonderful.
I don’t think there are enough words or the right words to express how thankful I am for Hillary. She truly knocked our pictures out of the park - every photo we’ve looked at captures a story and they are stunning. We’ve received so many compliments on our photos. Between the photos I’ve printed out from engagement pictures and the wedding, I joke that my home is now covered with Hillary masterpieces. Choosing Hillary was truly one of THE ABSOLUTE BEST decisions of our wedding planning process, and I would do it over and over again if I had to.
We would recommend Hillary to anyone that is looking for a responsible, creative, and professional photographer. She made us feel at ease and made taking pictures a fun experience. Hillary is very dedicated and will go above and beyond to ensure her clients' happiness!
Hillary makes taking pictures so much fun! My husband and I had such a great time working with her. She makes you feel gorgeous and so comfortable in front of the camera. You'll be so happy with the way the pictures turn out! Great poses, great edits. She is amazing.
Hillary is so wonderful to work with! I love the way she uses lighting to make every picture look natural and beautiful. She is very friendly and professional. I love the pictures she took of my family and I would hire her again in a second!
