Holly Birch Photography

Holly joined us for our courthouse ceremony. Even thought courthouse lighting can be a challenge our photos turned out beautiful. We go wonderful photos of the ceremony, posed couple shots and photos of our whole family that joined us. We received tons of photos for a very reasonable rate! My husband and I would definitely recommend Holly for a wedding in any setting.

I'm a sucker for heartfelt engagement pictures! Holly also does amazing food photography, which I appreciate as a professional cook. You can see Holly's joy for life in her art.

I brought Holly in on a style shoot and headshot shoot! Working with her in that manner, she maintain her calm, collective demeanor. She’s such a joy and it was fantastic to watch her capture the work we did but also the headshots of my fellow vendors. I recommend Holly for wedding, projects, corporate, and many more events bc she will capture the fun!

Holly has done my professional headshots as well as my Christmas cards the last three years. Her sessions are always efficient with a wide range of photos to chose from. Holly does an excellent job of providing a variety shots. From graduation pictures to weddings, I have recommended Holly anytime someone requests my opinion on a photographer!!!

Holly photographed our courthouse elopement, she was the only person there with us and was able to capture that magical day for us so we could later share it with our families and friends. We had no idea what to expect but she knows the Champaign Courthouse so well that she was actually able to help us out with navigating our wedding alongside taking pictures. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of pictures we got in just 1 hour both inside and outside the courthouse. I’d definitely recommend Holly, especially for a courthouse wedding, she knows her stuff!

Holly photographed our courthouse wedding and the pictures are absolutely stunning. She’s also very easy to work with. I’ve worked with other photographers in the past who make you feel awkward or uncomfortable posing, but Holly is great and friendly, and she knows what will look great if you don’t have any ideas on pictures yourself. My husband and I can’t recommend her enough. All our friends and family also commented on how great our pictures were.

Holly's work is incredible and she was the first vendor I contacted when we began planning our wedding. No way I was going to pick a date without making sure she was available first :) Her online system for booking / signing the contract was seamless and made everything super easy which I really appreciated plus she was quick to answer any questions. Our engagement photos were beautiful and helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. I love her style of clean, colorful and bright photos. Everything looked just how we saw it but better! We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID but Holly was helpful with our reschedule and we're so excited to have her work her magic with us next year!

Holly was the photographer for my wedding. The two most important things were great pictures and to having fun dancing. Well Holly made the first wish come true. I love every picture she took. She truly has an eye for the right moment. She makes you feel at easy so the smile looks natural. Highly recommended! Pictures are the best way to remember your day and you will not be disappointed with holly!

Holly is the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. She really knows how to capture a moment and make it stay beautiful forever. Even the pictures that were “unflattering” of people were so gorgeous that no one complained. Holly knows how to take command and make sure everything runs smooth. She also works well with other vendors. Highly recommend Holly Birch!!

As a Professional Honeymoon Planner and Island Bridal Travel Agency Owner, I have worked alongside Holly in the wedding industry for many years. In addition, she has worked as our Agency photographer taking our annual profile pictures and Holiday shoot. Holly was also the photographer for my personal family shoot. She is dependable, efficient, and I just love her style!!

Holly is simply phenomenal! She photographed my husband and I's engagement session and wedding. We couldn't have been more pleased with her eye for capturing our relationship and personalities are as well as our entire wedding! She didn't miss a single detail. All of the bridal party and guest loved her and the images we have are absolutely the BEST! I recommend Holly to everyone I know.

Holly photographed our wedding and did a wonderful job. Everything was natural, easy and she listened to exactly what I wanted. She was professional and not to mention the pictures are gorgeous and timeless! I would recommend her to others in a heartbeat!

Holly was a tremendous photographer and we were so thankful to have her document our special day! She was inconspicuous throughout the day, taking incredible candid shots of our friends and family. At the same time, we were always able to find her quickly when we wanted to take special pictures with friends and family that we hadn't seen in a while. I highly recommend Holly to anyone who needs photography for any event!

My wife and I had the privilege of having Holly at our wedding. What an amazing experience. Holly worked along side with another woman named Jennifer and these two really exceeded expectations. As soon as Holly arrived I could feel all of mine and my wife's anxiety slip away. Holly made our day go from stressful and rushed to fun and enjoyable. She was on top of where to go and when to go. She made it so easy for us to just have fun on our wedding. Our wedding happened to fall on the day of Pride and we had determined it would be too crazy to go. When taking pictures Holly suggested we just go for it and with that we had the most beautiful experience. Jessica and I got to have another perfect Cinderella moment added to our day and we will never be able to thank Holly enough for that. Holly really is changing the game on photography with her experience and ability to make any situation a positive one. Thank you for the great day. Wishing you all the best, Courtney & Jessica

Holly is so fun and takes gorgeous photos!! The most fun part of our wedding was doing sunset pictures and just enjoying my husband for a few minutes and she captured it all. She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and the photos are BEAUTIFUL!!

Holly did an amazing job with our wedding photos! She was fun and easy to work with and the pics are awesome!

I did a boudoir photoshoot with Holly as a wedding gift for my husband and couldn't be happier with how the pictures turned out, beautiful and very tasteful. My husband absolutely loved the little black book he got as a wedding gift the day of. She was very professional, always timely with email responses and made me feel so comfortable during the shoot.

How can I begin to say what Holly's hard work meant to us? From the killer engagement photos to the over 800 drop-dead gorgeous wedding pictures we received, we never stopped patting ourselves on the back for booking her! So many people told me this and now I know its true: your wedding goes by SO fast, you cannot see it all, and you have a lifetime after of staring dreamily at your pictures. Holly worked with us, met with us, eased our minds, and was a champ at posing us! She even captured SO many amazing personal & family portraits with our eyes open, and we are so so bad at our eyes being closed at like 90% of pictures, lol. I could go on and on. Please just know that this is an investment worth making. Holly and her second photographer Emily were super professional, super friendly, and fit in with all of my family & friends and on the day of, just made us feel special and confident we'd get good pictures. And when they came back, they were STUNNING. Thank you Holly!!!

Holly is amazing!! Not only is she a super talented photographer, but she is a fun person person to have with you on your wedding day. Her bright and colorful style was the perfect fit for our wedding, and my husband and I cried all over again when our pictures came in. She captured our day perfectly.

Holly is the best!!! I'm so thankful we were able to work with Holly. She did an amazing job with our engagement photos, and I can't wait to see the photos for our wedding! She's super professional, yet very comfortable to be with. She told my fiance and I how to pose, where to put our hands, where to look, etc.. Her guidance was fantastic because the photos turned out beautifully and very natural looking. She is super creative and came up with some super fun / stunning shots and lighting. I can't recommend her enough!

If you're in the market for a sub-par wedding photographer who doesn't care about the details, you've come to the wrong place. Holly is extraordinarily thoughtful with her shoots and it shows in the work she does. She has amazing reviews because she does an amazing job. She is a treasure to the Champaign community and someone I have extreme confidence in to do an amazing job with whatever her clients need.

Holly is phenomenal. She did our engagement photos and our wedding and we could not be happier with the outcome. She is very professional and has the perfect personality for the job - it was fun to have her around on our wedding day! She also did a great job working with our high-energy 4 year old to get awesome photos of the three of us. I cannot recommend Holly enough!

We cannot say enough good things about Holly!!!! She was fantastic throughout our whole wedding process. She always made us feel comfortable and her photos are amazing!!!!!!!!!! Her brand also focuses on color- which was awesome as our wedding was super colorful!!!!! We love and photos AND we love Holly. Best person to work with AND best photos? Total win. If we ever do anniversary photo shoots, family shoots, etc., we'll go to her!

Holly was wonderful!! She did a great job keeping to the schedule, producing photos and working with us.

Holly beautifully photographed my wedding! She was very professional, and willing to do what it took to get a good shot (including laying in the wet grass!). She helped to make my wedding day run very smoothly. And as my maid of honor said, she made some very ugly rooms look lovely! Really thankful she photographed my engagement pictures and wedding! She is great!

I cannot say enough great things about Holly! Holly was by far the best vendor of our wedding day. She is professional and very easy to work with. She fielded any questions I had during the planning portion of the wedding. She was flexible and fantastic the day of the wedding. You barely knew she was there, but captured everything perfectly. Her turn around time is soooooo fast for both the blog and final gallery of photos and her finished products were simply amazing. I highly recommend her, she truly is phenomenal!!!!

Holly's pictures are stunning. She knows how to capture moments beautifully, and she is incredibly professional. Extremely timely to both emails and editing/finishing files. Her photos are never over-processed, and posed with impeccable attention to detail. Enough said! :) Emily & Jordan 12.19.2015

Firstly, Holly has an amazing talent and eye for photography. The photographs of our wedding are spectacular with all of the important candid moments captured! Secondly, she is efficient and uses the time she is taking pictures to its best ability. She was able to wrangle both of our families in a timely, orderly fashion to leave us with ample time for bridal party photos. Lastly, the quality of her work is unparalleled. Her shots are flawless and well executed. She knew the importance of certain shots, and her attention to the details helps me relive my wedding again and again through her photographs. She was attentive about our wishes on how we wanted our day captured, and she also had creative, original ideas of her own that made our photographs that much more wonderful. Thank you, Holly, for keepsakes I will cherish forever!! If you are looking for a quality photograph with immense talent, I highly recommend Holly Birch Photography!

Holly photographed our wedding! She was extremely accommodating to all of our needs and requests. She reminded me of photos that I wouldn't of thought of. We love Holly!!! We can't wait to get our wedding album!

Holly recently shot our wedding, and was amazing to work with throughout the entire day. We wanted to do a few silly shots, and she made sure we got in whatever poses we wanted. She has a few different options for photo packages, and they are a little pricier than some of the other photographers we priced. That being said, she let us pick and choose different options for a custom-made package, and was extremely accommodating in doing so. Also, she takes amazing photos! I am a big photo junky, so knew that was an area I would probably splurge on the wedding day. If you want amazing photos and a photographer that is easy to work with, Holly should definitely be your choice!

Holly did our engagement photos and wedding photos, did beautiful work, but we didn't have any photos of my husband and I by ourselves in the church (only downfall). Easy to work with and had a great time with her (we love to have a good time, so does our wedding party, she fit in well)

My husband and I spent a lot of time looking for and meeting with photographers, in part because we were appalled at how expensive they could be. As we kept looking we decided that good wedding photos were an important investment. When we looked at Holly's portfolio, we could tell right away that she had great technique, and her prices weren't prohibitively astronomical. Holly is very professional and quick to get to business. She knows what she is doing and captured some really fantastic moments during our wedding day. She was great to work with and we were amazed by the great photographs she took.

We were very pleased with Holly's work! She took a lot of wonderful, unique pictures. She was not invasive but was able to capture many of the intimate moments of our wedding. She posted our pictures on her blog within a week after the wedding which was great for sharing with friends, family, and coworkers! We were very pleased!

LOVE HER PHOTOS!!! She was very professional, very quick, and had very fun photos! I loved working with her, she made the day go so smoothly and was very fun to work with!
