Beyond Expectations
I will never have enough positive words to describe what having Julia and Kevin of Holding & Co Photography as our photographers meant to us.
When we initially began searching for vendors for our wedding, I came across Holding & Co Photography here on WeddingWire. As I continued my search, I kept comparing every other photographer's pictures to the images captured by Julia and Kevin. I knew that I would not be happy if we settled with anyone else, and I'm glad I listened to my gut! Julia and Kevin have an innate ability to capture beauty, light, and emotion with their cameras in such an artistic way that it's as if every picture could be printed in a magazine. I have gotten so many people telling me that our photos are the best wedding photos they've ever seen.
Not only are Kevin and Julia true artists, but they are incredible people as well. With COVID and CA wildfires, not only was our original wedding plan changed, but our second, third, and fourth plans were as well. The Holdings were there for us through every obstacle that came in our way with supportive words and promises that they would make it work no matter where we got married.
Choosing Holding & Co Photography was the #1 best decision that we made regarding our wedding. The images that Julia and Kevin captured on our wedding day and our subsequent post-wedding adventure shoot will be with us for our lifetimes and will always remind of us the incredible people who were there to make our day memorable. You will not be disappointed in hiring them to document your day.I will never have enough positive words to describe what having Julia and Kevin of Holding & Co Photography as our photographers meant to us.

A perfect match. You can stop searching now.
Hiring Julia and Kevin (Holding & Co) was the best decision we made for our wedding.
You're probably searching all over for that perfect photographer, making lists and comparing prices. We did the same thing. Now is the time to stop searching and reach out to Julia and Kevin immediately. After our initial call with them, it was clear that not only were they experts and professionals, but also incredibly down to earth and easy to work with. They were helpful in working with our budget and incredibly detailed and thoughtful throughout the process.
My wife and I are both camera shy and haven't worked with a professional photographer. Julia and Kevin made our photoshoots feel natural and incredibly easy while also capturing some incredible moments. The pictures they took are the best photos we have of ourselves. You'll probably want them to follow you around for years to come after you see yours. :)
There isn't enough time in the day to fully express our gratitude and we're confident that you'll feel the same.

I am so very glad I found Holding & Co. Photography and had them for my wedding! My pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous...even better than I could have imagined!! As a bride, I was so worried about capturing every special moment and having the day of my wedding run smoothly, this couple was so professional all day and caught the most memorable moments starting from everyone getting ready to the reception.
I highly recommend this couple for weddings, they are so amazingly talented and I just can't put into words how beautiful my pictures turned out!!I am so very glad I found Holding & Co.

Deciding to have Julia and Kevin as part of our wedding day was a fantastic decision! We had an instant connection with them the first time we met, making the entire process easy, comfortable and fun. Being a husband and wife partnership, they truly worked as a team in capturing my wife’s beauty, our big families and bridal party’s crazy/fun mix of personalities. When we received our photos, we were extremely happy with the emotion, memories and special moments we will now have forever, on a day that seemed to go by WAY to quickly. We will definitely be spreading the word about their amazing work, professionalism and creativity!Deciding to have Julia and Kevin as part of our wedding day was a fantastic decision!

Kevin and Julia were so amazing to work with. When we first met with them I had many questions and expectations, being that my brother was also a wedding photographer. At the end of our first meeting, i didn't have to ask a thing because they covered everything my brother told me to ask about. Their style is unique, and exactly what i was looking for -- timeless-- I'm no model, nor am i comfortable in front of the camera but they have a way of making you feel relaxed during the pictures. I couldn't be more pleased with all our pictures! They captured all the important moments I was looking for and more! I wouldn't definitely recommend them to family and friends! They are such a down to earth, easy going couple, that you can tell this is their passion. They are professional in every way. Check out the pictures for yourself! We used them for our videographers and same day edit as well! They video was everything we could have asked for as well!!Kevin and Julia were so amazing to work with.

Having Kevin and Julia as our photographers was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! First of all, you get two excellent photographers that read each other really well and work together to get an amazing variety of shots. In addition, they are very creative, super easy to get along and connect with, and they make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera (and I usually feel rather awkward). They aren't afraid to try any crazy idea you might have and are willing to work with you to get the look and feel you're going for. I also love how they really try to capture the story of your wedding. Besides the stunning photos they took, probably my favorite thing about using them was their incredible help organizing the wedding day. It's like having extra coordinators! Based on what we told them we wanted out of our day, they made a detailed timeline that helped our day run so smoothly. As the bride, that took a heap of stress off my shoulders! We've recommended them to several people already and we're always getting asked who took our photos! Do yourself a favor and book them!Having Kevin and Julia as our photographers was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Holding & Co is SUCH a worthy investment!! They totally captured our wedding in the most artistic way and in a way that we will never forget. They are so artistic and really have a good eye for the camera. The best part about the whole day was that I totally forgot that I was even being photographed for much of the day! They allowed me to just live in the moment on my wedding day and not worry about posing certain ways. They captured it in the moment as things were happening! I was impressed with how well Kevin & Julia work together as a married couple and how they complement and encourage each other. They worked SO well with our videographer also! We all had a great time that day. They even picked out a photography spot for us when we weren't sure where to do it! They were very timely with the photos and you can tell they took their time with each and every one of them. People were so shocked when they saw how good the photos turned out! Both engagement and wedding. I am so surprised more people don't know about Holding & Co! I will definitely be calling them again to capture our next major life event!Holding & Co is SUCH a worthy investment!!

These two are a class act. They made the process very easy and natural. They were there when we wanted them, and seemingly transparent when we wanted to be in the moment. Their photographs were spectacular and artistic and modern but what made them stand out to me was their ability to make what could have been a very stressful aspect of the wedding into something fun. I would (and have) recommend them without hesitation.These two are a class act. They made the process very easy and natural.

We are so happy we hired Kevin & Julia. They are so professional and make you feel so comfortable while shooting, as their saying goes "feels weird, looks good." You will not regret hiring them, yes they are on the pricier side but you get what you pay for. On our wedding day, not everything went as planned and they were ready with plan "B" and "C!" Now we are happy to have such beautiful memories of our wedding day!We are so happy we hired Kevin & Julia.

Kevin & Julia are top notch! I'll get to their stunningly talented photography skills in a moment, but we need to speak about them as professionals first. They were a dream to work with! With all the stresses going on with wedding planning, all the balls you have in the air, it was so refreshing to not once be concerned with anything related to our wedding photos once we hired these two! Memories will fade with time and your wedding photos will be all that you’re left so we wanted to make sure that we were in the right hands. We hired them to shoot both our wedding and engagement photos and both shoots were absolutely amazing! And also, a lot of fun! Our wedding venue was a dark basement speak-easy, so naturally getting photos with good lighting was a big concern of ours. Kevin and Julia’s portfolio made it quite clear that not only could they be artistic, they were also incredibly talented technically. Seriously, stop reading this review and hire them! But, if you want to keep reading here are a few things our wedding guests had to say about our photos:
‘Guys, these are phenomenal!!’
‘Wowzers! You two are such a good looking couple and these pictures do an amazing job capturing that!’
‘Wow, these are stunning!’
‘These are so adorable and they really capture you!!’
‘Your wedding looked breathtaking! These photos are ON FIRE!’
‘Stunning photos! Simply, stunning!’
‘These pics are AMAZING!!!’
‘Now that’s a photo album!’
‘I’ve been waiting for these photos because I knew they would be amazing… wedding album? Vanity Fair spread? Who knows?!’
So, if you want very talented professionals who take incredible photos that everyone will be jealous of, hire Kevin and Julia!

When Matt and I discussed the priorities for our wedding celebration, photos were at the top of our list. The wedding day flies by all too quickly and it was important to us that we have high quality images to really capture that fleeting, but extraordinarily important moment in our lives. In our first meeting with Julia and Kevin, they said it best: your wedding photos are an heirloom, passed down from generation to generation. That resonated with us.
We came across Holding & Co. while researching photographers in our area and fell in love with their style, rooted in photojournalism. Their photos are not only beautifully done, they perfectly capture all of the many "moments" that encompass the emotions and events of your wedding: the nerves, the private moment you share with your husband or the laughs you have with a bridesmaid in the dressing room. It's all of these memories that you are going to want preserved for years to come. They took the time to make sure they captured those cherished moments. And not all photographers spend the time to touch up all of the many photos that make up your entire wedding portfolio. That attention to deal was a selling point. We also liked the fact that Holding and Co. is a husband-wife duo. That made us feel like we could really get it all - from both my point of view as well as Matt's.
Beyond the photos, we loved Julia and Kevin as people. They are laid back, silly, thoughtful, kind, and meshed well with Matt and myself. This is incredibly important, especially if you aren't used to being in front of a camera. They helped us remain ourselves and helped that come across in all our photos... while also making us look good ;) We can't recommend them enough. Thank you, Julia and Kevin, for giving us an heirloom our family will cherish for generations to come. It means the world to us!

I planned my wedding from overseas as I was in a long distance relationship with my (now) husband but despite the timezone difference, Kevin really adjusted and made the time to fit my schedule for a video call (Thanks Kevin!). I originally already had agreed to do the shoot with another photographer. However, when I saw Kevin & Julia's portfolio and photo samples, I just know I had to have them at my wedding! When we got the photos, it's like we re-lived our wedding day. No regrets! :)

Book Holding & Co.!!! Kevin and Julia were a dream to work with. I had met them when I was a bridesmaid in another wedding, which they rocked. When it came time to plan my wedding, I always had them in the back of my head.
We had several phone conversations and skype sessions with other photographers. and Kevin and Julia just clicked with us. They work as a team and they strive to be the best. They have the creative passion for photography, but also the business side to them, which makes them professional. They were on the medium to high side, in terms of price. But we decided that it was worth it... and it so was!!
We had our engagement session up at the Griffith Observatory in LA. Our guests were freaking out when they received our save the date. It was helpful to do an engagement session, because it made us more comfortable with the little poses. and just made time for us to get to know Kevin and Julia.
Our wedding was in Pasadena. Kevin and Julia were very accommodating in the getting ready schedule, because bride and groom were in different locations. We have received a few sneak peak photos and they are dreamy!!
Something else that I was able to do for my hubby as a wedding present was a boudoir session with Julia. Look up Julia Kay Boudoir. She is very talented and made me feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend!!! My husband was stoked with the final product.. and to be honest, it was very liberating and free to do that.
Kevin and Julia truly care for their couples. and they want you to be happy. They are also super responsive! This is very refreshing!!
My only recommendation to the next couple is to make sure that you have a point person in charge of family photo time, so that Kevin and Julia can focus on taking pics instead of corralling family members. Also, print out a list and make sure to have a physical copy. This will save you time.

My only recommendation to the next couple is to make sure that you have a point person in charge of family photo time, so that Kevin and Julia can focus on taking pics instead of corralling family members. Also, print out a list and make sure to have a physical copy. This will save you time.
Kevin and Julia rock! -

This husband and wife team drew us in with talent. Not only did they exceed artistic expectations we couldn't have picked better people to bring so much joy to our wedding. I still laugh and cry looking through our photos. Our photos are powerful and reflect so much of my husband and I. Best decision ever! If you're considering don't even hesitate.This husband and wife team drew us in with talent.

My advice for a couple that is getting married is that Julia and Kevin make the process so easy for you. They will take that extra step to make sure your wedding amazing! You may question the price a bit, but once Julia and Kevin give you a vision in how your photos will turn out and you actually see your photos, you will know that your money will be well spent. They are also fun to work with and make sure that nothing goes work on your special day as well.My advice for a couple that is getting married is that Julia and Kevin make the process so easy for you.

Within this digital age, finding a photographer for your wedding can quickly become an overwhelming task, so let’s break it down into just a couple categories for a winning photographer. First category: CHARACTER. From personally working in the industry for years and working side by side with the 2006 Professional Photographers of Western Michigan (PPWM) photographer of the year, I learned which critical element sets apart one photograph from another… attitude! Many great photographers are passionate, skilled, and well marketed but only a few are truly able to display a customer mindful attitude under pressure. Realistically, something won’t go as planned during your engagement session and/or wedding day. No matter how small or big, a winning photographer will provide resolution without it even phasing their positive attitude. Adapting to the environment, instilling calm confidence, all while getting the perfect shot is exactly who Kevin and Julia are! Second category: ARTISTIC ABILITY. Now with the digital age, anyone can take a 100 pictures instantly and chances are that at least one photo will be decent. But who wants just “decent” photos or worst, who will leave things to “chance” on their wedding day?! Kevin and Julia have invested time and learning to develop their skills and talents as photographers. Their artistic ability and precise eye will capture details you never thought were possible in a photo! Third category: TEAMWORK. Now a days the dreaded wedding day battle between vendors seems to be happening all too frequently. Kevin and Julia do not fall within this unethical trend. Kevin and Julia will work seamlessly with any and all of your vendors allowing everyone to perform at their highest potential! Thank you Kevin and Julia for making our day one that we will always cherish!Within this digital age, finding a photographer for your wedding can quickly become an overwhelming task, so let’s break it down into just a couple categories for a winning photographer.

What would I have ever done if I hadn't stayed up late clicking around on the internet and stumbled upon Kevin and Julia's website? I don't know. But if someone is reading this and wondering if they should drop these guys a line, PLEASE DO.
My dream wedding photographer in Portland Oregon was far out of budget, and I was so let down over it that I didn't know what to do. Somehow I ended up on Holding & Co's website, and I was so impressed with their candid shots and timeless, artistic, and clean photography style that I had to drop a line. Kevin and Julia were so professional. They were more concerned with making sure our personalities and visions matched than they were with simply booking a wedding and after talking to so many other photographers, that resonated with me.
After several phone calls, a couple face times, and a copious amount of emails, we realized we just simply couldn't have anyone else photographing our wedding. They collaborated with us on engagement photo location ideas and showed up a couple hours early to set up shots. The pictures were amazing, almost editorial even, and the shots were well composed and showed great technical skills.
We had them come up to Portland for our wedding day and they were so communicative and put up with our extremely long 11-12 hour event like it wasn't even an issue. They were polite with my other vendors, they were so patient with my overwhelming family, and they seemed so excited to be there photographing my wedding. I haven't second guessed this decision once.
We just received our photos and I'm already having problems trying to figure out which ones I want to hang in my home - I want to have a blow up of every single one! It makes me so happy to be able to relive my wedding day through Kevin and Julia's camera lens and we don't hesitate to recommend them to our friends even though we're almost two states away. Thanks Kevin and Julia!What would I have ever done if I hadn't stayed up late clicking around on the internet and stumbled upon Kevin and Julia's website? I don't know.

We couldn't have asked for better photographers! Kevin and Julia were super professional as well as fun! If they shot something really cool, they'd show us! Not only are they super talented and fun, but they made the day so relaxing and comfortable (especially considering we did not have an engagement shoot prior to the wedding). It was an amazing experience having them shoot our wedding and we can't wait to see all of our wedding day photos!We couldn't have asked for better photographers!

I am so happy I choose Holding and Co. for my wedding!! My husband and I were married in June and luckily Kevin and Julia were our photographers. My sister is a photographer, and since she was maid of honor, we knew we would need to hire a different photographer for our wedding. My sister searched high and low for the best photographers in our area and she found Holding and Co. My husband and I met with them, and we were sold! Their work is absolutely stunning- they are creative, talented, and consistent. And to top it off, they are such cool and fun people! My husband hates having his photo taken, so he was a little nervous about having to spend a whole day with a photographer following him around. But he had a great experience with Kevin and Julia! He says that Kevin and Julia both made him feel natural and not awkward at all. I felt the same way and actually had a great time chatting with them on my wedding day! They are funny and easy to be around, yet they do an impressive job of slipping into the background so that you forget they are there and act like yourself. And most importantly- their work is absolutely beautiful. I LOVE our wedding photos! They are unique, and artistic and they are anything but the usual corny wedding photos. I am so happy that we will have these photos to cherish forever. If you are looking for the best wedding photographers around, look no further than Holding & Co.!

Kevin and Julia were an absolute delight to work with. From our adventurous engagement shoot in the snow to our perfect wedding night. Kevin and Julia made us feel extremely comfortable and helped us enjoy our night. Not only was it a blast working with them but, the pictures are beautiful and they grabbed candid and all the details of our wedding. The two of them work as a team and use their experience to make sure that you get the pictures you had always dreamed of. The quality of their service is top notch and they will do about anything to get the correct shot :) haha. They are also very responsive towards emails and/or any questions from the first day of inquire till months after your wedding. They could not be MORE professional, they are always on time (if not early) and both are very prepared with all of their photography equipment. All they want is for you to be happy and they are willing to work with you for anything you may want. They are not only professionals but are just such good people. After we had our engagement shoot we were so looking forward to hanging out with them again for our wedding. We also had the pleasure of using their videographer for our wedding and it couldn't have been smoother. They took care of everything also from that side and it was nice to have them all work together on the wedding day. We both highly recommend Kevin and Julia for photography and/or videography for your wedding. You wont regret it and you will be extremely happy!Kevin and Julia were an absolute delight to work with.

I can't recommend Kevin and Julia enough. They were absolutely wonderful to work with and incredibly professional. They went above and beyond to capture ALL the moments during our wedding (both big and small) and had fun doing it. They were incredibly freindly and positive and from the moment you met them they made you feel at ease. Having your picture taken for hours on end can get a bit awkward and tiresome, but Kevin and Julia made the whole experience so fun. They are insanely talented at what they do. My husband and I are completely obsessed with all the images from our wedding. There were so many amazing moments that my husband and I had separately prior to the ceremony and they managed to capture them all. Kevin and Julia also had a great mix of traditional and more nontraditional shots. We have some that look almost editorial but others still captured us just smiling with our family and friends. If you need a wedding photographer, look no further, Kevin and Julia are the best!I can't recommend Kevin and Julia enough. They were absolutely wonderful to work with and incredibly professional.

Kevin & Julia were beyond amazing... I come from a photography family where my father is a cinematographer and I grew up behind the viewfinder myself, so finding a photographer we deemed worthy for our wedding was a real challenge -- until we met these guys. To say they were perfect would be an understatement of the century. They were down to earth, fun, easy going, compatible with our personalities and truly affordable. Their style matched ours and their execution was flawless. You will not go wrong with these two whatsoever. Whatever you do -- make sure you do an engagement session with them prior to the wedding to let them get to know your style, personalities and comfort level in front of the camera -- it will make all the difference in the final quality of your wedding photos! These guys are pros and they were a blast to work with. You needn't look any further -- lock them down now!Kevin & Julia were beyond amazing...

We simply can't say enough about Kevin and Julia! We could tell from the moment that we met them that they were the real deal. Professional, courteous, and knowledgable. They work so well together to make sure that each moment is captured, and they do a phenomenal job to make sure it's done right.
We just got back our wedding photos and could not be more pleased. We'd also recommend the videographer that they work with. The highlight video of our wedding was fantastic. Thanks to Scotty and his crew.
More than anything else though, they are down to earth and will listen to what you want. And they'll suggest ideas if you don't know what you want. You'll likely end up spending more time with these two than anyone else on your big day, and we certainly made the right choice.
Thanks again guys!
