User2209986 Sent on 07/03/2015Anne and Bill Holland - the ever cheerful couple behind Holland Photo Arts - are simply amazing! Superb photography - Check. Reliable and on top of their game - Check. Wonderful human beings - Check. From start to finish, the customer experience was terrific. The Hollands get customer service and know how to unexpectedly make you smile.
We were told the Hollands were the crème de la crème of wedding photographers. We would have to agree. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out beautifully.
From the bride: I know that I will cherish these photos in the future as I remember my loved ones and husband on our wedding day. From the groom: The Hollands really captured the emotion and fun of our wedding, plus, it was a ton of fun working with Anne and Bill (both at the wedding and during our engagement shoot 9 months earlier). From both the Bride and Groom: They have a great sense of humor and really made us feel at ease. Our only regret is that we did not have Anne and Bill photograph the rehearsal dinner!
We were a bit slow in selecting our favorite photos for the wedding album (we were married June 7, 2014). Last week, the album arrived in the mail with two copy versions for our parents (let's be real - for the moms) and we couldn't be happier. The photos seem to take on a life of their own when printed and blown up in size.
On a side note, Anne and Bill were surprisingly helpful during our ceremony rehearsal. They gave our officiant, a family friend, some great tips based on their vast experience watching and photographing weddings. We were so happy they spoke up!
Thanks! Kate (& Andrew)Holland Photo Arts's reply:
Kate & Andrew, thanks so much! We couldn't be more thrilled you and your parents love your albums and had such great memories from your wedding weekend with us. And we couldn't agree more...seeing our own wedding images printed big and hung on our walls is a pretty awesome way to remember our own day's adventures. -
User1548058 Sent on 03/01/2014Anne and Bill are one of the best investments you can POSSIBLY make for your wedding day. My (now) husband and I just received the first of our pictures back, and they are absolutely beautiful. Anne and Bill captured the day perfectly. They have an amazing creative eye and the sensitivity to perfectly capture the raw emotions of the day. And they are just wonderful people. They managed to get those most beautiful shots in the most unobtrusive way...I barely knew they were there. They were incredibly respectful of our guests and of us, never pushy, always patiently waiting for the right time if they needed us for anything (pictures, questions, etc.). They gave of their time generously, staying late and taking over 1,000 pictures! We've only seen a small portion (maybe 75?), and they've brought tears to my eyes. My only regret in hiring Anne and Bill is that we only got to spend one day with them. Their beautiful work is eclipsed only by their beauty as people. They are truly special and my husband and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

User2141606 Sent on 05/21/2015We used the Hollands for our engagement session and our wedding in Washington DC in October 2013. What I loved most about both sessions is that none of the photos seemed forced. They managed to capture my husband and I in very candid moments, which made it very hard (in a good way) to pick out our favorite photos for our wedding album. The Hollands photos are not staged like a lot of photographers, but capture individual moments, which in my opinion makes their photographs a great representation of our wedding. We had so much fun working with the Hollands and would whole-heartedly recommend them to any couple for their wedding photographers.Holland Photo Arts's reply:
Wow, thank you so much, K&M! Capturing individual moments and "found" portraits that feel like you is always our ultimate goal. It was wonderful getting to relive your beautiful wedding weekend again when putting together your gorgeous feature album and are so excited for your soon to be born little one to get to see it one day. Inheriting and looking at our parent's wedding albums is one of our favorite things to do to this day. Always a great reminder on love's legacy in all of our lives. xoxo...a&b

Ashley Sent on 07/20/2014Anne and Bill are absolutely amazing! Their communications prior to the wedding and materials (photo sheet/schedule) were comprehensive and invaluable- we felt totally prepared and organized and were able to get in all the shots that we wanted to have. They took time to figure out exactly what we were looking for! They walked through the day with us on several occasions and brought things to our attention that we would have missed or overlooked otherwise.
On the day of- they did not miss a single moment!!! Everywhere we turned, there were our photographers. They captured every kiss, every tear- they even had an assistant at the reception. We have amazing photos of every single one of our nearly 200 guests.
For your wedding- Holland Photo Arts is the way to go. Anne and Bill are so easy to work with and were the best investment we made in the day by far. We've received countless compliments on our images from family and friends and even from people who weren't at the wedding! One of our relatives unable to attend and a former photographer said they were some of the best wedding photos he's ever seen. They will last us a lifetime and more importantly, they truly captured the spirit and essence of our day and our love for one another. Thank you Anne and Bill!Holland Photo Arts's reply:
Wow, Ashley! Thank you so much for your review! You and K had the BEST smiles that day and it was truly infectious. And a photo of almost every guest?! Wow. Not sure how we managed that, but we're thrilled you had so many favorites of your families and friends. Your dance floor was quite literally packed all night with seemingly almost every guest taking a turn at some point, so I'm sure that didn't hurt! We're absolutely thrilled that you had such a great experience with us and truly appreciate you taking the time to tell us that you appreciated our communication, advice and experience. Hugs to you both! xoxo...a&b -
User1164562 Sent on 05/16/2013My husband and I found Anne and Bill after a lot of searching and we knew from the beginning that the photographer was one of our priorities. The cost of any photographer can seem a bit shocking at first, but every penny was worth it with Anne and Bill! They were an absolute joy to work with and they bring a special dynamic to a wedding being a husband and wife team. We had the chance to meet with them over drinks a few months before the wedding and this is something we really enjoyed. Both Anne and Bill were extremely responsive throughout the planning process and had a lot of great wedding insight (not necessarily related to photography). Their professionalism and experience showed in everything that they did and we even got to make it to most of our cocktail hour! We really can't say enough about how great Anne and Bill (and their pictures!) are. We would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend them to anyone and everyone!Holland Photo Arts's reply:
Thank you so much! We LOVE getting to meet up before the wedding with clients for drinks or a meal. It's always so nice getting to know each other before the wedding day. By the time the wedding day comes, we feel like old friends who happen to be shooting the wedding. We're so pleased that you were happy with your investment, too! Thank you! xoxo....a&b -

Shay Sent on 02/18/2013OUR WEDDING PICTURES WERE AMAZING!!! I have not gotten any sleep since we received our pictures because I have been staying up looking at all of our wonderful pictures. My husband and I look stunning in all of our pictures. I have never regarded myself as very photogenic but Anne & Bill managed to capture my good side in every photo. They also managed to capture the energy, fun and love with each image.
Working with Anne & Bill was a wonderful experience. My husband worked with the couple to set up a surprise engagement photo shoot for me and they were so accommodating. We ended up having a wonderful time during the engagement photo shoot, which was a great precursor to our wedding.
I cannot say enough good things about Anne & Bill and I will always be grateful that we chose them as our wedding photographers. We will have cherished memories for the rest of our lives thanks to them.Holland Photo Arts's reply:
Gosh, Shay. Thank you so much for your kind words and we feel the same about both you and T! You seriously made our job easy. We absolutely loved the energy, fun and love you brought to all of our meetings and shoots. Our only wish is that we lived closer to each other. Sending much love...a&b -
User1093252 Sent on 02/18/2013Choosing Holland Photo Arts was one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning...if I could give them a 10, I would. Not only is the final product absolutely amazing, but the entire experience was out of this world. -
User884379 Sent on 08/01/2012Such an awesome couple and photographers! Everything we wanted captured, we got, even in the rain and humidity!
Would highly recommend them to anyone in the VA area! -

Emily Sent on 05/29/2012Anne and Bill were absolutely FANTASTIC. I honestly don't think it's possible to describe just how pleased my husband and I were with the overall experience of working with them.
We were referred to the Hollands by several friends whose weddings had been photographed by Anne and Bill. While my husband and I knew that photography was one of the most important components of our wedding day, we were working within a fairly constrained budget and the Hollands are a bit pricey compared to others we contacted. Anne and Bill were willing to make slight modifications to their standard packages to meet our needs, so from the start it was apparent that they are not only in the business for the money, but they are truly a fantastic team very invested in making the couples they work with happy.
My husband and I knew we were in good hands with the Hollands from the work they'd done with our friends, so we didn't not overly manage how they would operate during our wedding day, and they really were wonderful. They seemed to flawlessly move through the wedding day without disrupting any of the natural moments, and they capture emotions with such perfect clarity. I feel very moved and am really taken back to the same emotions I felt on the wedding day when I look through the photos.
Some of the added bonuses of working with them are the wonderful blog they post and the online wedding album that you can easily share with friends/family as to not have to personally manage the process behind others purchasing images.
Aside from how amazing they were to work with leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day, they have continued to go above and beyond even after the photos have been delivered. They recently reached out offering to provide suggestions around what photos would be best to frame, etc. I am so impressed by their natural talent as well as their work ethic, and their genuine wonderful hearts.
I would not change a single thing about my experience with the Hollands - they were absolutely amazing and I hope to have the opportunity to work with them again.
Thank you, Anne & Bill!
