    Best and Sweetest Photographers Ever!

    Holly and Bruce were phenomenal to work with for our wedding! They were recommended to me by a co-worker and I'm so glad we found them! From day 1, they were very professional and quick with communication. We had a fun engagement shoot with so many great photos that I couldnt decide which to print! Our wedding photos are great too! Most importantly, they made us all feel at ease in front of the camera and we had a lot of fun! They even managed to get some great photos of our sleepy, cranky flower girls! Also, Holly was incredibly quick with getting final, edited photos back to us. I will definitely be working with Holly Ireland Photography team again for family shoots in the future!

    Photo Perfection

    Holly & Bruce were so amazing, words can't justify them as photographers and human beings. They are 100% professional, easy to work with and their photos are breathtaking. They were able to capture every special moment at our wedding including the funny ones. Holly's kindness and sweet spirit allowed me to be myself and comfortable with taking photos. Bruce's humor and ease about him was also refreshing. With Holly & Bruce, they can take direction or give direction. In our case, we needed direction and let them do whatever they needed to do to get the photo! They are the extraordinary experts and the photographs are the proof.

    Absolutely Magical!

    There honestly aren't enough words to describe how amazing Holly and Bruce are as photographers and in general as people! From the instant we hired them to photograph our wedding, they have been so helpful, supportive, and kind. Holly took our engagement photos as well and they came out absolutely stunning and she made us feel so comfortable the entire time. While Holly was photographing my bridesmaids and I as we were getting ready, she made us all feel so beautiful. Her calm, sweet demeanor made everyone feel excited for the day ahead. While Bruce photographed my husband and his groomsmen, he was entertaining, funny, and brought a good atmosphere to the getting ready process. They both knew the best spots to take photos at our venue and brought so much fun and joy into our wedding day. We are so grateful to have had them as our photographers and can't thank them enough! We absolutely love Holly and Bruce!

    Amazing to work with and beautiful photos

    Holly and Bruce are not only amazing photographers they are great people. I can't say enough great things about them. I met Holly and Bruce at a wedding show. There are so many wedding 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.

    Holly is the best!

    Working with Holly is like having a good friend photograph your wedding. From the very beginning, Holly was super responsive, incredibly sweet and was the easiest/least stressful part of planning our wedding. Holly has a great eye and her work is stunning and beautiful! Our engagement photos were AMAZING and we cannot wait to see how our wedding photos look too! Everyone (no exaggeration) at our wedding remarked how lovely they thought Holly was! Not only did she shoot our wedding, but she jumped right in and offered to help in every way possible which she didn't have to do, but put me at ease. The next time we need photos taken, we will definitely contact Holly because she is incredible!!!

    Holly Ireland Photography's reply:

    OMG Lisa you are the sweetest! Thanks so much for this amazing review and sweet words! I felt the same way!! I just sent you all your images YAY I can't wait for you to see them :)

    Above and Beyond Service!

    Beyond late with my reviews. Our wedding was March of 2019. I’m not sure where to begin with this review. In a nutshell Holly and Bruce are just amazing to work with! We had them 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!

    Our Daughter’s Wedding

    Holly did a fantastic job on the photography for our daughters wedding. The photos are beautiful and the entire experience in working with her was wonderful. She was very professional from the first day we met her. She was also very helpful to our daughter with wedding planning questions. She was so nice every time we had questions and very responsive with emails. Holly and Bruce are a great team and it was very nice to have both of them working the wedding. They planned out the photography timetable with us ahead of time so there were no surprises and they helped keep everyone on schedule so the ceremony and reception were perfectly coordinated. Holly and Bruce are fantastic. They are so friendly and nice and we are so glad to have met them and that they were a part of the wedding celebration.

    Amazed in every way!!! Photography was one of our top priorities when we started planning our wedding and we knew finding the right team to capture our beautiful moments of that day 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

    My husband and I met Holly & Bruce at a bridal bizzare in San Diego. We did our engagement photos and wedding photos with them and we couldn’t be happier! The overall service that they produced went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did they interact well with us and our families, but they took the time to sit with us and help us figure out exactly what we wanted for our big day. We would highly recommend them and if we needed photos for another special event they would be the first ones we would call! Such a pleasure to work with & amazing photos!

    Holly and her husband Bruce were wonderful to work with. The day of the wedding, they took charge of the photography to make sure that everything we wanted and should have were taken. We just got the pictures and can only say WOW! They are fantastic. The pictures make you feel like you are reliving the event.

    Holly and Bruce are AMAZING!! Before we locked down our wedding date and location I contacted Holly to make sure that they were available on that date. If they were already booked we would have changed the date to accommodate their schedule. That is how good they are. The pictures were 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 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

    5 Stars just isn't good enough for Holly Ireland. She deserves 50 but yelp stops at 5. Where do I begin? Prices - for what she offers it exceeds what you pay her. She is one of the most down to earth, kindest people I have ever met so morally she is exactly the kind of company I want to support. Her eye for detail and creative energy is amazing and when you tag team her with her husband (a WINNING COMBO) you get a photography dream team. Part of being a great wedding photographer is making your clients and their families comfortable and that's exactly what they do! The turn around time is the best in the business and if you are smart enough to order an album it is a work of art. I want to add something - I am in the industry. I was given options by photographers to have them shoot my wedding for FREE but that didn't matter to me. What mattered was having a team that was going to invest in me the way I invested in my wedding. They are worth every penny and then some. Photos are the MOST important part of your wedding since the day is over in a blink of an eye...make the right decision. Choose Holly Ireland and you will be grateful you did!

    I seriously can not express how grateful I am to have chosen Bruce and Holly for my wedding day. They are an absolutely amazing team and great people to be around on your big day. 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!!!!!!

    WOW. We cannot say enough good things about Holly and Bruce. The were so much fun to work with and captured the most gorgeous photos. Seriously, I did not know we had the ability 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!

    Holy and Bruce are THE best!

    My wife and I just got married on 11/19/16 and were lucky enough to have Holly and Bruce there to capture our special day, and strongly reccomend them to anyone in need of professional photographers. When we first started looking for photographers for our wedding we contacted numerous companies looking for quotes and information. While others took days to respond and some not at all, Holly was on top of it and responded right away. After reviewing some portfolios online and talking with Holly, we set up an appointment to meet in person. Holly and Bruce are not only professional photographers, they are great people who are a lot of fun to be around. They will be there for you and pay special attention to your requests and needs, and will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. For example, we have a 3 year old son who wanted to have a little more time in front of the camera, so while we had some down time, Bruce took him out on a little photo session without hesitation.

    Holly and Bruce will not only capture your greatest moments, they will be part of your greatest moments. We wouldn't reccomend anyone else.

    Thank you Holly and Bruce!!!
