Holly D Photography

g, flexible, and understanding. She asked about how we met, about our family and special parts of our ceremony. She made sure to find out what pictures we wanted her to take. She took so many special pictures. I love them mostly because every time I look at the pictures, I get to relive our special day through the great pictures she took. I have to mention that several of our guest mentioned how impressed they were with her. I can't say enough about how happy we are that Holly took our pictures. I hope I have another opportunity for her to take pictures for us again.

y gets in touch with the couple's story to bring the photos to life. Highly recommend her.

lined up with our vision, and boy did she deliver. We have the most beautiful wedding photos. I cried when I saw them. Holly made me feel beautiful throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond what we could have dreamed in capturing memories that will last a lifetime. She was so flexible when our timelines kept changing, and I feel like she was more than a photographer to us. She was also a friend. We look forward to reaching back out to Holly for our future photography needs. So, if you're looking for a great photographer, your search can end now. Choose Holly. You'll be so happy that you did.

sband and I initially didn’t plan to do a first look but Holly recommended that we do it to catch the sunlight and it was the best decision we made. She really wants the best for her clients and has so much knowledge that we knew we were in great hands from the very beginning. Holly is dedicated to get to know and connect with her clients. My husband and I have never taken professional photos before and Holly made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day. It is a special talent to be an amazing photographer and Holly has it! We look forward to working with her for more photo sessions in the future. Book her now because she’s 1000% worth it!

the perfect person to shoot our wedding day. She was so personable, professional, and made me feel comfortable. One of my concerns was the dark lighting in our planetarium ceremony, but from the getting ready photos to the first look, ceremony to reception, it was all amazing. I literally can't stop looking at them or sharing them. All of our guests were impressed by Holly and her second shooter Ken, who truly left us with an amazing gallery to cherish for a lifetime, we can not recommend her enough!

ality, expressiveness and manner of being throughout each shoot; each shoot has been taken for several different reasons - meaning I am looking to capture different sentiments and attributes. She is simply exquisite and incredibly gifted in her craft. It is my own personal honor to have her as my photographer. She always knows what to deliver, how to deliver it, and how to maintain the desired essence of her client throughout the entire process. It is a joy and a pleasure working with her and her warm spirit. Look forward to my next shoot with her!

nal attitude made her a joy to work with. Would highly highly reccommend!!

diately stood out to us with its airy, bright, and summery theme. Before our wedding, we had a delightful 1-hour pre-wedding photo session with Holly at SF City Hall. From the moment we met her, Holly's cheerfulness and positivity made the experience truly enjoyable. As she captured our moments, she effortlessly brought out genuine laughs and smiles, making the whole process feel natural and easy. Holly went above and beyond by accommodating our requests for some additional shots at SF City Hall, which we greatly appreciated. Moreover, her turnaround time for delivering the photos was impressively quick, unlike some photographers who take several months to provide the final. Holly has clearly put a lot of thought into her services, and on her website, she offers questionnaires to help plan various aspects of the event, such as family photos and timeline. Her professionalism and genuine desire to assist shine through, making the entire process smoother and more enjoyable. Now, about the wedding photos themselves - they are nothing short of breathtaking! The end result far surpassed our expectations, leaving us amazed by the stunning and gorgeous photos. We are excited to create a hardcopy album to preserve these precious memories forever. I wholeheartedly recommend Holly for any life events you wish to capture, be it weddings, family moments, or baby milestones. Once you interact with her, you will immediately her sweet personality. Thank you, Holly, for making our wedding day truly memorable and delivering photos that we will cherish for a lifetime!

the day of our wedding, her communication throughout was exceptional. My husband and I are in love with the outcome of our wedding photos. Thank you again Holly, you’re the best!

ism and customer service is unmatched. Holly is highly responsive, arrived to both events early, and brings a high level of care/support to her clients. She was even able to help when my dress ripped during our engagement photos (totally my fault). I would work with Holly again in a heartbeat! She deserves more than 5 stars!

wanted to have her capture our wedding day. We met with her before the wedding to visit the venue. She had awesome ideas which we loved and wanted to include in our wedding and they turned out well! During the wedding, she guided us on some poses and made us feel comfortable. The photos turned out AMAZING and I'm so glad I have them and can relive the best day ever. If you're contemplating on the wedding album, just do it. I'm glad we got the album because we let our guests who come over look at the album and they love it!

o sweet and made everyone feel very comfortable. I had some specific shots that I wanted in a certain area of Monterey and she was happy to accommodate any of my requests. I also found her pricing to be very reasonable considering the amount of time you have her and her assistant photographer, who was also fabulous! I was thrilled with the photos when I got them back and can't stop looking at them. I would highly recommend Holly for all of your photography needs!

and incredibly talented. She really understands wedding photography, brides and their needs. Holly made every shot I dreamed of a beautiful reality. She listened to my ideas and found ways to make them happen. She was responsive, attentive, creative, and flexible. She even got up on top of a wall to take a picture I absolutely had to have! Her turnaround time was incredible! I was so surprised and happy to look at our pictures on our honeymoon… and of course to hear from Holly. Our videographer loved working with her as well. Completely friendly, completely professional, and completely talented! You couldn’t ask for more! I still look at our pictures every single day!

wedding vendors, but Holly might have been the most organized and hardworking of all of them. She even put together a proposed timeline for our entire wedding day! Holly suggested all sorts of great places to take photos as well. She proposed two beach locations for our engagement shoot at Half Moon Bay. Our wedding was at the Chabot Space and Science Center and she knew all the best spots and how to get the lighting just right. She had a beautiful redwood area picked out for the first look pictures, too. Holly went above and beyond throughout our wedding day, from showing up early on our wedding day, to pulling things like bobby pins to fix the bride’s hair out of her emergency kit. She is an incredibly warm and thoughtful person and helped keep everything calm and fun when we took photos with her. The photos turned out AMAZING and we and our family are so grateful that we have such beautiful pictures with which to remember our wedding day.

mmendations , quality of service, professionalism , value, and responsiveness were absolutely wonderful. Holly greatly surpassed our expectations and we absolutely love all the photos taken. I really can’t thank Holly enough. Now my wife and I will have record of great memories that will last a life time. I highly recommend Holly D Photography!

g date. I called Holly to (hopefully) see if she had availability, and by miracle or divine intervention she did! She called back promptly and we got straight to business sorting out what kind of photos we wanted and those that she suggested. She went the extra mile, attending the walk-through we had scheduled for the NEXT DAY following our initial phone call and also participated in our tech rehearsal. We had consistent communication via her online portal (through email) and she was also open to texting for quick questions. Holly was instrumental in finalizing our schedule for the day. Her experience really helped us understand how long each step in preparation was going to take. She is a preferred vendor at our venue (Chabot Space and Science Center), and with good reason. The photos she took for us in the redwoods and in the planetarium were actually out of this world, so she is excellent at shooting in dim or unusual settings. Her second shooter worked with the groom and groomsmen while she focused her attention on the bride and bridal party. She returned the photos to us within three weeks through her online portal. I can't recommend Holly enough. In addition to having very reasonable pricing, she is so professional and has amazing products that perfectly captured our big day.

Taking pictures with her is fun, easy, and will make you feel beautiful. They will be pictures that you cherish forever. Holly is always on time, on task, and transparent with her products and pricing. I absolutely loved working with her, and would recommend her to anyone getting married.

a package that worked best for us. She helped us pick the perfect venue based on the look we had in mind and it came out better then we could have imagined! She was super patient with our two youngest and we loved all the moments she captured! We can’t wait for our next family photos with Holly 💕💕

rings life to photos in such a way that they tell your/our unique stories memorializing a moment in time. Pleasant professional and prompt it’s a pleasure working with her and trusting her with the most special occasions. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💯

walkthrough of our venue the month before our wedding! As someone with photography and photo editing experience I am super picky — Holly's work is so exceptional that I promise she will make you look and feel amazing in every picture. She was also just a joy to work with! We had so much fun taking photos together and I'm really grateful she was there to capture our day and celebrate with us. I would also recommend you get her beautiful wedding album — it is amazing and will certainly be a family heirloom. Thank you Holly!!!

nd again. You can tell how much she loves what she does. She made sure everyone was comfortable when photographing everyone and gave amazing posing cues. I absolutely love how our photos came out and I could not recommend Holly more. She has a gift and we are so thankful we got to work with her. I would work with her over and over again if I could!

e. Holly truly wants to capture the moments when he clients are happy. We highly recommend Holly!

, we had to postpone this date. Holly was very flexible with accommodating our wedding date change, even with her busy schedule. Holly had everything organized with a full itinerary of our timeline for our wedding day. During the photo shoot a few hours prior to the wedding, she was very attentive and detail-oriented with her picture-taking. Holly was very professional and had great ideas on where to take pictures, along with the best background, and made my wife and I feel comfortable with the photos. When my wife and I received our photo album from Holly, we absolutely loved it! Even though my wife and I weren’t able to celebrate our wedding with all of our family and friends, the wonderful pictures that Holly took was able to portray me and wife’s special day!

r engagement session, we had no idea what to expect, as that was our first professional photography session. The end result was a fun and memorable afternoon. We were immediately impressed by the fact that Holly went out of her way to accommodate our busy work schedules. She took it upon herself to hike up a mountain and scout the area an hour prior to our arrival, to find the perfect spots. Holly has a knack for making people feel at ease and turning each session into a natural, enjoyable experience. We continued to see Holly’s passion and dedication in her profession through our Wedding Day Shoot. It was an amazing experience seeing Holly work her creative angles throughout the day and being an awesome team player while working with our videographer. When my wife and I received our engagement and wedding photos, we saw the level of detail and artistry that Holly exemplifies. Every photo we flipped through was filled with emotion and meaning. We are so happy to be able to relive every moment of our special day through these photographs. Not only is Holly a talented photographer, she is also a positive person who brings great energy to the day. We, without a doubt, would recommend Holly in a heartbeat!

one and everyone wants and needs during these intimate and special occasions. 10 out of 10!

ance at our photos and you know they are hers, you know why. She is an amazing talented unique one of a kind signature photographer. Amazing. Highly recommend. Will use her forever.

ked with us to ensure our day was just as special. On the day of our wedding, it felt like we had another good friend or family member there, who just so happens to be really good at taking photos. We have already recommended Holly's services to friends and family and will continue in the future.

s a Preferred Vendor by my venue because she was the absolute best! Throughout the entire process--from planning, during the wedding, and post wedding follow up-- she was reliable, timely, and thoroughly professional. Additionally, she is such a kind and warmhearted person you will love working with her. Her genuine passion for wedding photography is infectious and makes everyone around her have a great time. And perhaps most importantly, she is an incredibly talented photographer. Both my engagement and wedding photos turned out better than I ever could have imagined. I will happily treasure these moments captured by Holly forever. If you are looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Holly D Photography!

utely seamless and went above and beyond in everything she did! Her work is absolutely breathtaking and she is amazing person to work with! Her positive attitude is infectious and she made our experiences with her completely stress free! For anyone looking for a photographer, we cannot recommend Holly enough!

onal, so kind and caring, throughout the whole day. Holly even participated in the gift exchange between my “husband to be” and I, and memorized that experience with every snap of the camera. I’ve been told that some photographers want to capture “their vision” and sometimes forget the couple. Holly takes in consideration all elements of the couple, the family, venue, preferences and makes sure it’s captured in such a beautiful way. My wedding day has past and I am still looking over the photos! The venue didn’t have many options for what many would call for beautiful backgrounds, but Holly made it seem so picturesque. I am soo glad that Holly took our photos. We looked at her work for some time and sorta picked our wedding date based on her availability. It was definitely worth it. Thanks Holly!!!

he is so detail oriented and fabulous with posing, lighting, etc. She always made us feel so comfortable and provided a lot of guidance which we totally needed! It was so nice to have an organized and talented photographer who could facilitate a 14 person wedding party seamlessly. I was also shocked with how quickly she turned around our wedding photos to us. I've heard horror stories of people not receiving their photos for 4-6+ months. It was so amazing to return from our honeymoon and have the photos only a few days after we returned! My friends and family continue to comment on how they've never seen more beautiful wedding photos. Thank you Holly!

to be when viewing them on Facebook and Instagram. While wedding planning we learned how sweet, organized, creative, and kind Holly is, which made the planning process seem to go smoother. We were also provided with a few sneak peak photos from the wedding, which helped ease some of our excitement to see them !

ust a vendor and more like a friend that was capturing our entire day. She was so patient, responsive and enthusiastic throughout the entire process and I knew from the first phone call with her that I wanted her as our photographer on our wedding day! She knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and helped us enjoy being in the moment. We also did engagement pictures with Holly and they turned out beautifully. We will have no hesitation having her as our photographer again in the future for other exciting events in our lives. We love you Holly!

ones and captured even the most stubborn little smiles. I would recommend her over and over and will definite be a repeat customer!

t was through phone and emails and 9 hour timedifference. She has a pleaseant personality and made us all relax and act natural in front of the camera. We had pictures taken of us as a couple and our 4 kids ages 25, 22 and 14, as well as family pictures. The pictures are wonderful and easy to download and get printed. We recommend Holly warmly.

t part for me too which is why i was nervous and careful to choose the best photographer possible so i would never ever have any regrets. Ive seen some beautiful weddings get some pretty lackluster treatment by photographers, ive also seen some very lovely photographs from weddings but that didnt evoke much from me, if that makes sense.. but Holly's are the most beautiful and inspiring ive ever seen, i truly cant get enough and i mean that. The way she understands how light and color work sounds like something any photographer should understand but they just dont have the grasp she does. And the way she knows how to bring out genuine emotion in her clients when she takes her shots.. im seeing these photos and remembering EXACTLY how i was feeling in that moment because my face says it all.  (And this is just an extra TMI here that im sure you all have heard before but as someone thats insecure with her body, knowing i would be photographed at every angle and knowing i wasnt at my ideal weight, i had fears that i would look back at wedding photos and be so upset with how i looked.. shallow i know, but Holly made me feel so confident and comfortable and beautiful, and she looked out for me and helped me show my best self, I dont feel anything other than positivity and happiness and love seeing these. And that is extremely extremely rare for me!!) The little personal touches she adds to your experience with her, too, like the quality of the photobook... I dont know if i can say it enough but thank you thank you thank you Holly. Thank you for being someone i will always remember and be grateful for saying yes to being involved in my wedding. She really deserves every bit of praise that comes her way and more. I hope this helps more people find her as their photographer, because they deserve to be as happy with my choice as I am!!

o her by my best friend. I followed her work on Instagram and after seeing some of her photos I wanted to set up a call. Ever since our initial meeting, I knew right then and there that I wanted Holly to be our photographer. Throughout the whole experience, she was professional from the beginning to the very end. We set up a meeting in Pleasanton to do a quick walk through of the venue to scope out the area. She shared with us her vision of where and what she wanted to shoot. On the actual wedding day, we did all of that and more. Along the way we had to make some quick adjustments which she accommodated. I could go on and on about all the details from our 3 months of being in contact with each other, but to sum it up, Holly made us both feel very comfortable and relaxed. She took the time to hear our story and to keep things fun. We all know taking photos does have its awkward moments, but hey, we do it for the gram. To top things off, she even surprised us with a little gift at the end. Thank you Holly! (And you too Tony!!)

lighting would be tricky in the planetarium. She did a beautiful job with all of the photos and had creative ideas for many different areas to take photos in. We had originally planned to do photos before the wedding outside, but it ended up raining all day. Holly quickly changed the plan and found some amazing locations within the museum for all of the photos. All of them came back beautiful. All of the photos we own and were able to download right away in our own computers. You can also buy prints directly from her website, which I plan to do soon. The prints were also available within 2 weeks of the wedding - super quick turn around. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Her second photographer she brought, Tony, was also fantastic and he took some great shots of my husband and also had some great ideas for locations inside the venue.

ictures meant so much to me since I didn't have a wedding photographer for my wedding. We had such a nice time and she made us feel comfortable. I am a wedding photographer based out of Miami and I know first hand how important it is to have your clients trust and make them feel comfortable. We love Holly and she will always have a friend here in Miami!! I can't express how happy we are with our beautiful photos!

ars and she's one who really cares about her clients experience from start to finish. You can't be disappointed with her work. To describe Holly... she's sweet, genuine, honest, has many years of experience with proofs of amazing photos, she's professional, passionate, dedicated to her craft full time. She's one who will always go the extra mile to ensure your wedding day photos will be cherished and loved forever. There are just no regrets when you book Holly. So Thank You again Holly for being you and capturing moments my husband and I are cherishing forever.

er it like it was yesterday. That's the mark of a true photographer. Anyone can pull out their cellphone and snap a shot, but not everyone knows how to create memories and have them frozen in time forever. Holly D. and I have known each other for years and I've had the privilege of watching her develop her craft and her eye, all the while admiring her professionalism and kindheartedness. So it was a no-brainer to have her capture one of the most prolific moments in my life: my wedding! She captured every feeling, emotion, and glimmer of happiness -- and nervousness -- of both my wife and I. All while being able to somehow remain unobtrusive when the moments were personal. Not only did she capture the memories that will make my wife's eyes light up when we get old and grey, but she was able to help us begin our newest chapter of life, together, in a way that we'll always be able to look back on and remember the love we shared. With our family, friends, and each other. Thank you so much Holly D for your eye, your talent, your professionalism, your kindness and of course: our memories!

y photographer for all occasions 😊I highly recommend her for her professionalism, friendliness, great eye, and sweet personality.
