Holly is an amazing photographer. She took pictures of my husband and me for both our engagement photoshoot and our wedding. She was always quick to respond to any email we sent ...
her. She arrived on time and prepared for both the engagement shoot and wedding.
We really enjoyed how she sent us a sneak peak of some pictures she took that day within 24/ 48 hours.
She is very friendly and she listened to our ideas about how we wanted the photos to look. She gave us many ideas and suggestions as to how we should pose in order to get the best pictures.
All of the pictures came out fantastic. She captured a great mix of black and white and color photos. She also included some videos of very special moments, and we did not ask for that; she did that on her own.
She really captured the joy we felt on our wedding day.
Thank you, Holly!
This team was absolutely amazing. They were so collaborative and professional, and captured the love and energy of the day perfectly. We received previews of the photos pretty quic...
kly (while we were on our honeymoon, which was fantastic) and the rest of the photos came shortly after. We had emphasized that we really wanted candid photos of our guests during the reception, as well as photos that we could share with our caterer showing all the hard work they did, and these folks more than delivered. I would recommend them to literally anyone and everyone.
We really appreciated working with Holly and Jim. They were thoughtful, creative in capturing photos, passionate and communicable. The photos we got back are beautiful and we can't...
wait to set up our wedding album! We were grateful that we could book them when we did, only a few months out from our wedding after our photographer had some other matters to attend to, and love that we were able to get along with them and to see our photos soon after our wedding. The best thing is is that they were able to travel to us and didn't require anything extra for distance, and their pricing was very reasonable. We would highly recommend for anyone who is a little more low key and just looking for someone to really capture the love between the happy couple and their loved ones! Thank you Holly and Jim!!
Do not hesitate to secure Holly and Jim for your wedding!
Great, quick communication before, during, and after our wedding. Totally put our minds at ease. Handled the suboptimal co...
nditions (mud everywhere, glaring sun, high winds that knocked things down) at the venue with ease and grace. Didn't even know they were there unless they were talking directly to us (stealthy!). Captured so many gorgeous photos and fun candids. They took our preferences into account- we got the types of photos that were important to us (and more!) and they were in the style we hoped for- natural, not heavily edited (and if they were you'd never know it!). Video clips and 1 min video montage were WONDERFUL. Many guests have commented how nicely they captured the essence of our day. Having both of them there was perfect- not only were they able to catch both sides of the wedding party getting ready in separate locations, but also the different angles of the same moments.
We will enlist their services again for other events.
They were fun and friendly and helpful and we can't say enough about Holly and Jim!
We’ve got a lot to say about Holly and Jim and it’s all absolutely glowing.
From the moment Holly and Jim came to meet us for our engagement photos, we’d picked Central Park, we k...
new we were in incredibly capable and warm hands. Our wedding was upstate in Jefferson, New York in October 2024 and was exactly what we imagined (read meticulously planned). A huge part of that was captured flawlessly by these two talented photographers.
Holly and Jim's ability to blend seamlessly into the background while still managing to capture every precious moment is astounding. They paired their prior experiences at our venue with an uncanny knack for anticipating those fleeting, beautiful instances – a loving glance, close ups on our meaningful mementos, the joy radiating from our guests. They didn't just take pictures; they told the story of how our day came together from both sides of the aisle.
The photos themselves are breathtaking. The lighting, the composition, even the curation of selects afterwards – everything was absolutely professional. They managed to encapsulate the rustic charm of the venue, the vibrance of autumn in the Catskills, while also highlighting the intimate and personal moments that made our wedding so uniquely ours. From lakeside portraits in the afternoon sun, to raucous groups on the dance floor, to fireworks later that night — they had it covered from the perfect angle without ever being in the way.
Beyond their technical expertise, Holly and Jim are simply wonderful people. They are kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about their craft. They were accommodating with our budget, and frankly, generous with helping us make the most of it. Holly is sharp and reassuring, she was particularly proactive with recommending local resources like a videographer. Jim is calm and easygoing, even offering to ride along with the groomsmen from the AirBnB to the venue.
If you're looking for wedding photographers who will not only deliver stunning images but also keep your day from feeling as crazy as it certainly is, look no further than Out of the Ordinary. They really are, well, it’s right there in the name. We are forever grateful for the beautiful memories they have given us. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!
Holly and Jim were amazing! They were so easy to work with, and the photos are incredible. Highly recommend!
I don’t even have enough words to describe how AMAZING they are! We had the best experience with them and they got so many wonderful photos at our wedding this past June. They did...
our engagement shoot too which was our first chance to meet them because we live out of state and we chose them based on their work on their page. They are such wonderful people to work with and easy to get along with. They responded to us in a timely manner and had answers for all our questions. We knew right away when we met them that we made the right decision! HIGHLY recommend!
We used Holly and Jim for our wedding this past October. I really appreciated their support the day of, helping coordinate things and capturing the important moments. They were alw...

Holly and Jim captured the most cherished moments of our wedding day. We knew it was important to have a photographer for our wedding but having 2 made certain not a single moment ...
was missed. We had a list of pictures that were important to us and they met every single need, all while being great to work with. I would recommend Out of The Ordinary to anyone!!!! We absolutely love our wedding pictures and I can’t say enough great things about them!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holly and Jim exceeded expectations on our rainy wedding day!! They were flexible with tough conditions (Thunderstorm! Tent!) and delivered stunning photos we will love forever. B...
efore the rain came, they captured intimate moments between my mom and I and my bridesmaids as we got ready, my husband and the boys, and absolutely gorgeous photos of my husband and I with a mountain backdrop. They can do it all, and all the while you will feel comfortable. Holly and Jim are a husband and wife team, they work together seamlessly, and everyone, especially Bryon and I, enjoyed working with them:) Thank You Holly and Jim!!
Fantastic! The photos exceeded my expectations and we couldn’t be happier. The hardest part about the entire process has been narrowing down which shots I want in our album- they a...
re all perfect. Holly and Jim were wonderful to work with! They had curve balls thrown at them all day and nothing threw them off! Our friends came to surprise my husband while he was getting ready and they captured it beautifully! We recommend them 100%
Holly photographed our fall wedding and the pictures were absolutely breathtaking. She has such a talented eye for the most beautiful shots. My husband and I were shocked by all th...
e little moments she and her husband captured while we were busy chatting with our guests. There isn’t anyone I would trust or recommend more than her to photography a special event.
We loved working with Holly and Jim from the very start! From our wedding to family photos they are a wonderful team! Our wedding photos were gorgeous, such attention to detail. Fo...
r family photos I let Holly know what I was envisioning and she was able to recommend a great location for the most perfect shots. With a 1 year old in tow who didn’t want to sit still they were extremely patient through meltdowns. We look forward to working with them in the future and guarantee you will too!
Out of the ordinary did a wonderful job for my son's wedding. Great people to work with also
Not only were our pictures amazing, but Holly and her husband were WONDERFUL to work with! Super creative and efficient with everything the day of. Highly recommend.
Holly and Jim were absolutely amazing to work with. My husband and I got married in January and Out of the Ordinary was our first and only choice to capture our big day. They had p...
reviously shot my sister's high school senior pictures and left a great impression on our family. We didn't get the snow we were hoping for but Holly and Jim happily braved the cold winter evening to snap some stunning outdoor shots for us. They are professional, helpful, and just fun to work with. So much so that Out of the Ordinary is already booked for my sister's wedding!
AMAZING, FUN, holly and jim are the best ever, i would recommend them for anything you need done. there pictures are stunning, amazing skill and fun to have around, wish i could gi...
ve more then 5 stars
Holly and her team were awesome. They were so fun and easy to work with. Can't wait to see the photos.
Stunning photos taken by Holly & Jim at this beautiful location.
Great and beautiful work. Great people to be around... wish I found them for my wedding!
Jim and Holly.....WOW!! Some of the nicest people I ever met!! They hiked Buck Mtn Summit with their gear for my ceremony! If that doesnt say committed then I don't know what does....
Amazing people and photographers!!!
Holly and Jim are amazing! They were so much fun to work with and got amazing shots of our wedding! We cannot recommend them enough!!!!!!
Out of the Ordinary owners were down to earth and professional. They laughed with us and helped us to feel comfortable and have fun in the moment. The photos they took of our wed...
ding are beautiful and they knew where to be to capture the important moments without having to be micromanaged. We couldn’t be happier!
I am the mother of the groom in a wedding that was shot by Out of the Ordinary photography. As an amateur photographer myself, me expectations might have been more demanding than ...
others. I KNOW beautiful photos and must say Holly provided us with just that. She followed to the tee what the bride & groom requested. Holly was not in everyones faces and making guests feel pictures were more important than they were. The posed pictures were wonderful and caught the love and excitement of the bride & groom. They did not seem to be posed but natural. Our candid photos captured the wedding and every detail of it. I highly recommend Out of the Ordinary Photography for your wedding. Should you be interested in speaking with me in person Holly knows that she can give out my number!!
I can't begin to describe how happy I am that we went with Holly and Jim as our wedding photography team. I was looking for a documentary-style photographer who could also take art...
istic, woodsy, fairytale-like photos of our Adirondack wedding, and couldn't be more ecstatic with the finished product. We had a few phone conversations in advance, and met face to face once, to go over specifics and the timeline as well as our vision for the types of photos we wanted. The professionalism, guidance, and attention to detail throughout that process was very much appreciated! And then on the big day, Holly and Jim were fantastic. They were punctual, clearly worked together like a well-oiled machine, and got every shot we asked for. They also suggested some shots to us, which was welcomed because they're shots I'm so glad we got, but may not have otherwise thought of! They kept us on time as well; we requested some sunset and night shots, and had they not reminded us what time it was, we would've missed those opportunities! We got a preview gallery of several dozen shots a week or so after the wedding, and now, about 7 weeks later, we have a full gallery of over 1,000 gorgeous shots to keep forever. They captured moments I either didn't know happened, didn't remember happened, or wasn't there for that I'll treasure! If you're looking for a photography team withe true artistic talent, and a passionate team that really wants to meet your needs, they'll be perfect for you just like they were for us :)
We used Holly and Jim to capture our engagement photos and wedding day. From start to finish they were the perfect combination of being a relaxed couple to work with while being c...
ompletely professional at the same time. Prior to the wedding we scheduled two meetings, each time they arrived early and stayed late with us.
They had great recommendations for where to have our photos taken and were open to any suggestions we had for the duration the day. Not once throughout the the engagement or wedding photos did they seem rushed, pushy or overbearing with corralling our fairly large wedding party and family, they were patient and organized. Their cool demeanor helped set the tone for us throughout the rest of the day. This was important to us, especially on our wedding day we wanted a organized operation to ensure no additional stress was added to the already extraordinarily busy and potentially stressful day.
Thanks to their experience at our venue and having pre-existing relationships with our other vendors (Floral, DJ, Wedding Attendant, etc) the day went as smooth as could be. The photos themselves were phenomenal, we've received countless compliments from friends and family who have flipped through our albums. A reoccurring word used to describe our photos has been “stunning”. If you're looking for a great professional couple to capture your event give them a shot. You will not be disappointed!
I am not one for getting my picture taken but OOTO photography was great to work with. Holly and Jim made us feel comfortable and made us laugh and have a good time while getting ...
our pictures taken. We can't thank them enough!
Holly and her husband were wonderful!
They arrived in plenty of time to capture the pre-ceremony preparations. They managed to get wonderful pictures of the ceremony, the recepti...
on and lots of wonderful candids They were everywhere and caught so many special moments, yet it was almost as though they were invisible! They were unobtrusive and professional and the quality of the photography is outstanding! If you can arrange to hire them, grab the opportunity! I can't speak highly enough!
What first caught my eye was a photo Holly & Jim did of a couple with a sparkler at night. Ever since then I have wanted that same picture. They were truly great to work with, the...
y made us feel relaxed and kept the bridal party in line. They took all the photos I asked for & more! We even snuck out to the gazebo and got the perfect shot for the "sparkler" photo and it was AMAZING and everything I hoped for. I would recommend OOTO photography to anyone planning their wedding. They captured photos of our family farm and pay attention to the small details, making our photos wonderful and something I will always cherish. I can't thank them enough!!!
Holly and Jim were absolutely amazing! The photographs taken were incredible - some were the ones that I had asked for in advance and others were more of their creative direction o...
r candids. They were super flexible and gave really easy/kind direction to a group of fairly rowdy people that could probably be described as frustrating to work with. I was really impressed with their work and would highly recommend them to anyone!
They were great to work with for engagement photos! I had to change the original appointment date and it was no fuss. We had a great time and the photos are absolutely beautiful
Jim and Holly were FANTASTIC!! It didn’t feel as if we were dealing with a vendor. They were part of our wedding party! From the minute we met them for our engagement session we k...
new we hit the jackpot. Jim and Holly are extremely easy to work with and are tuned in to what you’re looking for them to capture on your special day. I can’t help but smile every time I look at the pictures they took. You are missing out if you don’t choose this dynamic duo. Thanks again, Jim and Holly!
Holly and Jim are so wonderful! From the moment they arrived to the end of the night, they were so friendly and professional. Our wedding was at Burlap and Beams outside Lake Georg...
e and we started with pictures at the Marriott in Village. They were so accommodating of our schedule with pictures at the two locations and even helped us take a few shots by the lake before heading to the Burlap and Beams. They were especially patient with us as we gathered the large groups that we wanted to make sure we had pictures with (e.g., extended family, high school, college). Our wedding was recent so we haven’t seen all of photos yet, but we were beyond thrilled with the previews that Holly and Jim shared with us so far!
Jim and Holly were amazing. From start to finish they captured me and my wife's special day. They exceeded our expectations and were very professional.
Holly and Jim are absolutley amazing to work with. I could not have asked for more flattering/quality pictures of my wedding day. From the initial meeting to the day of, Holly and...
Jim were so easy to work with, everything went smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. They captured beautiful pictures of my wedding day and paid very close attention to detail of the floral arrangements, rings, etc etc. I could not be happier with how everything turned out. They're truly the best!

Holly and Jim and extremely talented, professional, personable, and affordable. They make you feel comfortable and at ease and know how to truly capture the moment. They are quick to respond to any questions and very knowledgeable .
Holly works so quickly, within a few days of my wedding she sent me some sneak peaks and had all my photos done within a month! We are beyond pleased with Out of the Ordinary!!
