Holly did an amazing job as our photographer!! She was able to capture every moment completely by herself. She was everywhere all at once! Holly also edited and sent us so many pictures to have. And everything was at the best price! Highly recommend her services.

Highly Recommend
Our connection with Holly Castillo was truly serendipitous. We discovered her through a mutual friend's recommendation for our engagement and wedding photography. What made it even more special was the realization that Holly had graduated from the same high school just a year ahead of us.
This unexpected connection added an extra layer of comfort to our photography experience. Our journey with Holly Castillo was not only professionally rewarding but also personally meaningful, thanks to our shared roots.
From our engagement session to our wedding day, Holly consistently went above and beyond to capture our love story. During our engagement photoshoot, she made us feel comfortable and relaxed, creating a genuine and joyful atmosphere. Her ability to bring out our personalities and emotions in the photos was remarkable.
On the day of our wedding, Holly's expertise in capturing the perfect moments was evident once again. She had a keen eye for detail and a knack for finding those candid, heartfelt shots that we will cherish forever.
Thanks to Holly, we have a beautiful collection of both engagement and wedding photos that perfectly encapsulate the love and joy we felt during these special moments in our lives. If you're looking for a photographer who brings a unique personal touch to your special moments, Holly Castillo is the perfect choice. Our memories were beautifully captured, and our connection with her made the experience all the more memorable. Highly recommended!

Holly is a natural 1000/1000 recommend
Holly is one of the sweetest people we could've ever hired for our special day! Not only is her work absolutely breathtaking, but her personality, approachability, professionalism and overall vibe is immaculate. She is so down to earth, easy to talk to, and makes even the most nervous of models feel at home. Being a plus size couple, finding the right photographer who could photograph our body types was incredibly important. The trust you put in your photographer to capture your love in the most natural and flattering way is not to be overlooked. If we were to do our day all over again, we would choose Holly again and again and again. I sing her praises to just about anyone who is getting married and looking for a photographer. The price-point of her work may be more than I had initially made up in my brain for our photography budget, but I knew that her work was going to make every penny spent worth it. We went with her package that included a engagement photoshoot and as soon as we received those photos back, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that we had made the best investment in hiring Holly. We received our pictures from the wedding back at a surprising speed and every shot was dreamy.

Love my photos!
I love my photos. I'm so happy I hired Holly. She had worked at the venue before which is the main reason I booked her so she knew her way around and got the job done quickly. I was really busy before the wedding so I didn't have a phone call or anything with her and it was totally fine. I sent her a shot list before hand and she was super chill and easy to work with. I love looking at my photos and reliving the magical, best day of my life. Thanks Holly!!

Wonderful experience with Holly!
Holly was a wonderful photographer for our special day! My wife and I had shared that we wanted great photos, but we didn’t want our whole event to be centered around taking pictures. Holly did a great job coordinating some group photos, and some quiet time for us to take photos with just us two. She was very communicative, patient, and overall great to work with!

Loved my photos!
Holly’s photos are amazing! I first saw Holly’s work on instagram and fell in love with it. She is wonderful to work with and is very chill and so sweet. When we did our engagement photos, Holly made sure that my then fiance and I were comfortable. She accommodated our request to have a very short engagement shoot but we still got photos we loved. We just received a sneak peek of wedding photos and they are absolutely beautiful. I have already printed out some of our photos and the prints are literally gorgeous. When I got her photos printed, the person working at the photo lab complimented her work.
Holly Castillo Photography's reply:
You are so sweet Kristina thank you! This made my day. I loved working with you both so much and you are both such genuinely kind people.

We just celebrated our 1 year anniversary :-)
We were thinking back about the people who truly made our wedding great, and we have to thank Holly Castillo Photography for the amazingly wonderful job she did! She is so easy-going, fun to talk to, and she has a great eye for wedding pictures. I was surprised by how quickly we got them back after the wedding, as well. We received several compliments on our photos, and they look great hanging on our walls. 100% recommend Holly!!

You should definitely book Holly for your wedding! Holly and her assistant were so chill, fun, and patient! They were efficient so we didn't feel like we were missing too much of our wedding for photos and were able to capture every moment without us even noticing! Highly recommend :)

Gorgeous photos and wonderful photographer
We met Holly at a venue expo and immediately fell in love with her bright, vibrant style that captured the joy of weddings. When we postponed our wedding twice due to the pandemic, Holly postponed with us! When we finally got to take our engagement pictures, almost 3 years after we hired her, Holly was amazing! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and suggested places and poses but incorporated all our ideas too. Our session at the beach still feels like one of the best dates my husband and I have ever been on, and the pictures came out beautifully!
At our wedding, we encountered some challenges with timing and transportation and Holly was so flexible and sweet! She was always present but never obtrusive and a true joy to work with!
I cannot wait to see our wedding photos, which I know will be fabulous! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Holly if I had to do it all over again!

Holly was a joy with talent to match!
My first impression of Holly’s work was “I found our photographer!”, but having her present on our wedding day was beyond what I expected. She was a true delight, super flexible, and fun! She took pictures that weren’t forced and truly reflected her style that I fell in love with (while also being open to our requests). I’m still blown away by our photos and I get compliments every time I show them off. Big thank you to Holly!

Best Decision!
Holly is amazing. Our engagement shoot was incredible, it was so easy to shoot with her. Both my husband & I don't really know what to do in front of a camera and she made it so easy. We love those photos. On our wedding day, it was just as much fun to shoot with her. She made sure she got all the shots, she took our requests and she knew where the perfect places were for our photos. Communication with her is always simple. Also, extra props to her because at our wedding she was due to give birth 2 weeks later and she still showed up! She still shot for 8 hours and we can't thank her enough. She is amazing and we will definitely use her for future events!

Working with Holly was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Based on just the quality of our pictures (at a very fair price) alone would have been enough for me to recommend her to anyone. But honestly, our interactions with Holly were the least-stressful part of an overwhelming day. She was professional yet laid-back, gently guiding my very nervous husband and I through some unfamiliar territory. Thank you for everything, Holly!

We found Holly throughly our venue. She is on their preferred vendor list and we got to see first hand why. I personally felt a connection with her through our love of cats. ?? Once we got to talking she made me feel like I’ve known her for awhile and I couldn’t have asked for a better connection to have with someone that is going to take some of the most important pictures of your life. She is extremely professional, sweet and makes you feel amazing and comfortable in front of the camera. On Our wedding day it rained HARD, Holly and her assistant never once stopped. They were able to capture some great shots that till this day makes us relive our wedding day with huge smiles on our face and hearts.
