Holly Ireland Photography

m on our list along with a couple other photographers we wanted to check out. We attended the Bridal Bazaar to meet with prospects. We happen to run into their booth without even looking for them yet. They were easy to get along with from the start and no other booth compared to how personable they were. The rest of our process from the engagement shoot to our wedding photos was so effortless. I was a wee bit nervous about the engagement shoot, wondering how we will be posing for an hour with my now husband not getting frustrated. Holly made the hour go by so fast and we had so much fun doing it! She just directed us so easily that all our shots looked so natural! Prior to our wedding Holly and I made a list of shots we wanted. At the wedding Bruce and Holly made such a good team using that list to help get our family members in the photos in a timely manner. They are both extremely professional and are in the right industry of photography. I had moments of stressing out due to our timeline, I did not allocate enough time for photos but Holly never once showed any frustration when I would get distracted and not listen to her instructions lol. She always kept a smile on her face! Lastly she saved my day by helping me do my bustle. I almost wasn’t going to be able to put it up but she went above and beyond helping me. We received our photos in a timely manner and they were great of course! Both Holly and Bruce do an amazing job at directing and capturing candid photos. Some of my favorite photos were of our 1st dance and them capturing how sweet that moment was! I highly recommend Holly Ireland Photography they are just so personable, it's like having invited them as guests! Plus they help you stay calm while documenting your big day!

ding photographers to pick from and after meeting Holly and Bruce my fiance and I knew before we got in our car that we had to hire them before someone else did. We loved that they are a wife and husband team and we loved their photography style. They are so friendly and cared about what we wanted so no details were missed or left out. They got our photos back to us so fast after our wedding and we love them all! They captured the details, the emotion of our wedding day and everything from start to finish so perfectly.

to connect with me before the wedding to make sure she had all of the details. Unfortunately, her husband was sick and was unable to shoot my wedding with her, but she brought in another wonderful photographer named Derek. On the day of, they showed up on time and prepared; they were both super fun to be around and made everyone feel relaxed. The photos are absolutely beautiful and she got them to us so fast!! We can’t thank them enough and strongly recommend them to anyone who wants seamless photography on their wedding day.

to tell me how great she was. Holly was also super accommodating and ended up staying later than we had originally asked so she could get some dancing shots in. I was so happy she was a part of our day! I highly recommend her!

y would be so essential. My friend had just gotten married and we remembered their photographers were this cute husband and wife team and they were so respectful and positive from what we viewed as guests and then when we saw their final photos and the artistic vision they have, we were sold! We met Holly and Bruce in person as they took their time to really ask us about our wedding, about us and offered great advice about how to get the photos we wanted and all the while keeping in mind the flow of the day. Holly and Bruce are the perfect team to have on your day who will work beautifully with all of your vendors, family and ensure you two are happy. Holly has a very sweet disposition with a soothing mamma vibe that she will do whatever she can to ensure you feel comfortable and get the best shots she can for you… she even helped get my veil on and out of my shoes (very above and beyond) Bruce was making my husband and the groomsmen relax and cracked some jokes and orchestrated the family shots and timing incredibly well. From seeing them work “behind the scenes” at out friend’s wedding to them being super supportive and communicative throughout the planning process and the impeccable service they provided the actual day to our stunning images (very timely!) our experience with them honestly couldn’t have been any better. We are sincerely grateful that they were with us on our special day! WHY YOU SHOULD BOOK HOLLY IRELAND PHOTOGRAPHY *Excellent communication and understanding *Artistic shots, dramatic shots plus behind the scenes *Makes you feel comfortable and confident *So efficient with the big group and family shots *If you want to have a team that goes above and beyond, is fun to work with and the end result is absolutely stunning

he camera (which we are typically not!). The quality of her work is incredible—from the composition of her photography and her tasteful edits, to the layout and design of the photo books she created for our engagement and wedding photos. Plus, she had our wedding photos edited and done before we returned from our honeymoon! We can’t recommend Holly highly enough. Numerous family and friends have complimented us on the quality of our wedding photography—so thank you, Holly! My husband and I have already decided that Holly will be shooting our future family portraits! :)

d we would have changed the date to accommodate their schedule. That is how good they are. I have known Bruce and Holly for many years and have used them in the past for professional photography that wasn't wedding involved, so I already knew the pictures would be beautiful and they turned out even better than expected and fast. They take the time to remember all the photos that you request and even more that you didn't even know you wanted. Thank goodness they knew!! We have couples pictures of our guest and family photos of our guest that they can use for Christmas Cards or just to frame in their homes. So thoughtful. We wish we could get married again so we can hang out with them. We can’t thank them enough and there is not enough room to say all the good things about them. We absolutely love Holly and Bruce!! Xoxo

They are very positive and fun and make the whole day stress free. I hate taking photos and doing large group shots (and we all know that is half the wedding! haha) but they made it so stress free! I could not recommend them more!! Seriously look no further for a wedding photographer. Holly and Bruce, again THANK YOU!!!!!!

nheard of! Love the beautiful photos! I would recommend them over and over again.

say at all. Their detail to perfection is amazing and every photograph turned out that way. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

to look this good. They truly brought out the best in us, but stayed true to our style and personalities. These beautiful memories will last a lifetime and we could not possibly give a stronger recommendation for letting Holly and Bruce capture them!

ments even some we didn't expect. Our photos turned out so beautiful, I cannot stop looking at them! I am so thankful we hired them as our photographers, they are the best!

. Holly and Bruce stood out to me right away. First, Holly recommended we have a Skype call so I could really get to know them “face-to-face.” This made all the difference – I felt so comfortable chatting with her and Bruce and knew they both wanted to get to know me and hear about my vision. Following that call, they were willing to get on the phone again with my fiancé and made him feel the same way. Leading up to the wedding, we checked in multiple times to make sure Holly knew what shots we wanted and what the family photo combos would be. It paid off – the wedding photos went so smoothly. Starting with our getting ready photos, Holly’s sunny personality made everyone feel comfortable and excited in front of the camera. After our first look, she and Bruce were the perfect team, suggesting a ton of creative shots (such as a Father/Daughter first look that I hadn’t thought of) and were great at wrangling the group quickly and efficiently. As a bride, I appreciated how Holly was right by my side the whole time. She could almost read my mind when I needed to put down my bouquet, change to flip flops, etc. And it paid off – our pictures turned out flawlessly! They captured all of our special moments perfectly – even our guests keep commenting on how well the pictures turned out. Don’t hesitate to pick Holly and Bruce. You and your fiancé will have images you can cherish forever.

o be around and we would recommend them to everyone! Thank you, Holly and Bruce! We love our photos!

boss and she highly recommended Holly Ireland Photography. So blessed that she did! From our first meeting with Holly and Bruce my husband and I knew they were our match. She is the sweetest thing ever, he’s a total guys guy and they both are good people with great energy. My husband and I went with their Gold Package and are so excited with all that’s included; Engagement shoot USB, 6 hours with 2 Photographers and Wedding day USB, and our wedding album which is the best reminder of how awesome our wedding day was! Working along side Holly Ireland Photography in this industry is always seamless. They understand the elegance and power of a moment captured in time. I would recommend Holly Ireland to all family, friends, even strangers. Love, The Blancaflors

pher for my own big day, I knew I wanted to contact Holly Ireland Photography. They made us feel so comfortable at our engagement shoots and on our wedding day. They are calm and know exactly what backgrounds and poses they are looking to capture. I couldn't recommend Holly and Bruce enough!! We will definitely use them in the future.

not be happier with them, their dynamics and the results! For sure the best around! They make you feel so comfortable and in your element! Don't think anymore, book them before it's too late! Do it!

e absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to get our album in soon! I have heard horror stories about bad photographers so I was most nervous about finding a photograher but once my husband and I met Holly & Bruce we knew they were perfect for our wedding. Bruce fit in perfect with my groomsmen and they had a blast hanging out with him and felt relaxed getting pictures taken. They all loved Bruce and kept raving about how cool he is. I can't even explain how amazing Holly is! She quickly responded to all of my mini beauty meltdowns about spray tans to makeup choices to my insecurities. She assured me everything would be perfect and always made sure to keep me calm. They also did our engagement pictures which came out awesome and it was a great way to hang out and get to know them before our big day! Our guests were raving about how professional and great they were from start to finish. I am so thankful that we hired them and they were part of our wedding day!!

l show, in San Diego. We fell in love with them instantly. They are so friendly, happy, and full of energy. We booked them for our wedding and engagement photo shoot. The engagement photo shoot was so fun. My husband and I were worried that it would be awkward, but it was the complete opposite. Holly and Bruce made us feel so comfortable. All of our photos where it looks like we were laughing, my husband and I were actually really laughing...pretty hard too. The engagement shoot didn't feel like a photo shoot, it was truly a bonding experience. My husband and I received a flash drive with all of the photos, beautifully edited, less than two weeks later! Holly and Bruce kept in touch before the wedding. They gave us paperwork to fill out which was really easy to follow. Also, my husband and I accidentally booked Holly and Bruce for only 5 hours. Our ceremony and reception totaled 8 hours. Holly and Bruce sent us a friendly reminder that we only booked them for 5 hours. We asked Holly and Bruce if we could book them for a couple more hours, and they happily agreed! My husband and I got married, August 9th 2015. The day of our wedding, Holly and Bruce were absolutely amazing!!! They were so calm and made sure we weren't stressing out. They got all of the photos we requested. They were able to cycle through pictures with our families at the church quickly and stress free! Holly and Bruce were able to get a beautiful photograph of my biological father, step-mom, 11 siblings, and my husband and I! That was a miracle in and of itself lol. Holly and Bruce were also fantastic during our reception. They took all of the photos we requested and much more. However, they were not too overwhelming and gave my husband and I a lot of time to ourselves. I cannot put into words how happy we were the day of our wedding. Nevertheless, Holly and Bruce were able to capture every emotion my husband and I felt the day of our wedding. They were also able to capture the unconditional love my husband and I feel for each other everyday!

t to the wedding these two were helpful with wedding advice. I even asked Holly for some make-up tips, when it comes to the best pictures, and she helped me! I thought that was a ridiculous question, but who better to know than our photographers? They gave us a photo info questionnaire to fill out, detailing all of the photos that we wanted to make sure were captured before and during the wedding. I went a little beyond what I'm sure most might, but they made sure that everything was accomplished. When the wedding day came they were on time and ready for action, way more than I was, lol. Both Holly and Bruce were so much fun to work with, they kept us laughing through the heat, which in turn gave us great photos, they were "invisible" during the ceremony and speeches and any little moments that were happening, and they got every photo I could have ever wanted and more. Holly and Bruce are more than just an amazing photography duo, they are so fun to work with, they are approachable during any situation and always have some kind of advice to help out, they actually care about the people that they are working with, you can see their passion in the way that they act and interact with one another and everyone, and of course you can see it in their photography. I can't imagine having any other photographer for the rest of my life events. Thank you Holly and Bruce for your amazing work and a lifetime of good memories.

y without being invasive or pushy. Holly and Bruce are so fun to be around and if they weren't our wedding photographers I would have wanted them as guests to our wedding!! They are professional and very calm throughout the whole process. They came to our venue early to scout out some great photo spots and were able to keep me and my fiancé apart before the wedding (we didn't have a first look). I can't stop looking through our photos from the day and how amazing it was. It was great that Holly and Bruce were each there to capture different perspectives from each moment. While one of them got a shot of the entire ceremony space, the other got close ups of us reading our vows, and all of the happy tears that were shed during them:) I recommend Holly Ireland Photography for any of your upcoming events - or if you just want a fun shoot! Best San Diego Wedding Photographers we could have imagined. We will definitely use them again!
