Hillary Muelleck Photography

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!

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!

f 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

w 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? A video review : https://www.tiktok.com/@planwithlaur/video/7139919497116454190?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1

nd 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!

l 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!

ion 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!

lled 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!!! :)

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!

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!!!

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!

n 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!

that we did! Our families and friends have been raving about the quality of the photos.

ring 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!!

n’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!

e 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!

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.

le 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. :)

ID (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.

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

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)!!

exible 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!!!

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!

as 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!!

ow 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!

a small photo shoot. I would recommend Hillary to anyone.

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!

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.

Hillary is very dedicated and will go above and beyond to ensure her clients' happiness!

so happy with the way the pictures turn out! Great poses, great edits. She is amazing.

she took of my family and I would hire her again in a second!
