Wonderful photographer for your wedding!

Beautiful photos with a warm, non-intrusive presence

We absolutely loved working with Holly! She did a great job of helping herd the cats (aka family members) for the formal photos and was just everywhere and nowhere all at once during the ceremony and reception, just capturing so many of the sweet moments, small and large, of our big day. We didn't want any of the shiny filters or overwrought effects, and we love that Holly really trusts her own talent, eye, and experience to capture the "story of the day" in an authentic and natural way. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Professional Photojournalism

I found Holly by searching online and am still amazed by the good fortune! From the very first messages and phone call, she was so personable and professional. I felt very at ease working with her and fully trusted her to capture all the details of my wedding. Holly's clean, colorful photojournalism style was perfect - she has a way of taking both posed and candid photos that made my husband and I look very natural (and neither of us are usually comfortable in front of a camera). Her demeanor and attention to detail are wonderful and I would love to work with her again in the future.

Holly was the photographer at my wedding at the Salem Cross Inn in May and we just received our pictures as promised by her. She did an absolutely amazing job and definitely captured the joy and love that was shared by all that day. She was exactly what we wanted in her professionalism and vision for our photos. Highly recommend!

Holly was amazing! She put us both at ease immediately on our wedding day and she was calm, professional, and fun to be around throughout the day. On our wedding day, Holly was flexible and more than willing to roll with the punches. When we asked to jump out of the car and take a few unscheduled pictures in front of our first date location she was more than willing to go along with it. She also worked with our bridesmaids and groomsmen to orchestrate photos of a surprise they had cooked up for us. When we decided to cut short our plan for outdoor photos, due to the unexpectedly freezing cold weather, Holly rolled with that too, and then suggested that we take some more photos at the reception site because she knew that we'd want them. She did a great job balancing our desires with what she knew we would want as a professional. Holly delivered the finished photos earlier than promised, and they were beautiful - she captured so many amazing moments. We would hire Holly again in a heartbeat!

Holly's photos were so much better than my husband and I were imagining. The candid shots were absolutely stunning. They captured the emotion and mood of everyone so well. I kept looking at them and thinking how well they captured the people I love.
She's very sweet and easy to work with. She's also a fantastic value! I would recommend her to anyone.

Holly was great to work with and we are so happy with our wedding pictures. She captured so many special candid moments from our wedding, and really listened to what we wanted as far as formal pictures. We were nervous to be in the spotlight and having our pictures taken all day, but she made us feel so at ease and was very unobtrusive. We highly recommend her!

My now-husband and I met Holly in fall 2016 for our engagement photo session, and we instantly adored her. Beyond her obvious talent as a masterful photographer with a keen eye for detail, Holly is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. Holly joined us for our wedding yesterday, and we are thrilled with her work. Whether it was capturing a room full of buzzing bridesmaids, our "first look" on a very humid Boston afternoon, or my father and I tearing it up on the dance floor, Holly didn't miss a single moment. Hire Holly!

Holly did a beautiful job on our wedding and engagement photos! We both felt very comfortable with her and she was very unobtrusive at our event yet she captured everything! Her prices were much more reasonable than other photographers that I researched and we also own the digital copies of our photographs. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Holly was great to work with, and our pictures look great! We're not really people who are comfortable being in pictures, and she made the whole thing easy for us. We didn't do engagement pictures with her, but met/emailed a lot with her before and she clearly listened and had a good idea of what we wanted her to shoot.

Our caterers weren't always great at their jobs, and she really went above and beyond in helping us track down people and things we needed, which we greatly appreciated.

Holly was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I was initially attracted to her work because of all of the naturally beautiful shots she has on her website. I wasn't looking for anything too pose-y and her style was right up my alley. During cocktail hour she provided simple instruction about positioning and the results were amazing. I couldn't be more pleased with the formal shots. Then during the rest of the wedding she shot the perfect candids! To be perfectly honest, I hardly noticed she was there during the reception. I have heard of photographers that are sort of in your face but I didn't experience this at all with Holly. All in all she provided us with all we wanted and more ( 620 beautiful pictures!!) And I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional and attentive photographer.

Holly was great! In first reaching out to Holly for our wedding, she was courteous, helpful and just really professional. In our details meeting she really took the time to go over who would be getting pictures, the timeline, and our relationships to people we wanted portraits for- which made me feel right at ease. The day of Holly was great- she was in full control without ever seeming overly assertive or intense. She made sure we got some amazing shots and was just SO easy to work with and so kind. The day of she really went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure she captured some of our moments. All of my guest said how good she seemed, because whenever something was happening she was right there capturing the moment. So glad I booked with Holly, and very much looking forward to seeing the final shots.

Where do I begin?! Holly is absolutely incredible. We met for an initial meeting where Holly genuinely showed interest in us as a couple. She took the time to hear about how we met and learn our style/ personality. She recommended doing an engagement shoot so that we would be able to get to know her and her style, and vise versa. We chose to go to our gorgeous wedding venue (Friendly Crossways Retreat Center, Harvard MA) for our engagement pictures to get a feel for the property as well, Holly was familiar with the venue which made us feel even more comfortable. Kissing your fiance and being genuine in front of another person and camera can be hard, but Holly made it simple! We felt calm, comfortable, and supported by her! She even recommended an AMAZING place for dinner after our photo shoot. :D Our engagement photos came out absolutely phenomenal and we were so delighted with the choice we made. We discussed formals for our big day, details like the first look, getting ready photos, etc.... and Holly got it ALL! Our big day was captured absolutely perfectly! Every detail is in the pictures, I look at them and feel like I am back there. She was never in the way, but always there. We absolutely recommend Holly to anyone and everyone!

Holly was truly the most amazing photographer we could have asked for! My husband and I did a lot of research and met with a number of different photographers but no one was quite like Holly. She was personable, knowledgeable, and her portfolio of work was impressive. We loved that she had a more photojournalistic, natural way of capturing beautiful moments. Her pricing was affordable and fair with several different options for building the perfect package. We did an engagement shoot with her which I highly recommend doing. We got to know her well during this session which made it easy on our wedding day! The month leading up to our big day, she kept in touch and went over everything in detail. She answered all of our questions and was accommodating of our photo requests. The day of, she showed up early to get a good feel of our venue and stayed very present, yet did not get in the way throughout the day. We had a lot of formal family photos with A LOT of people that needed to be taken in the heat and she tackled them all quickly and with ease, even though most would consider it stressful! We were also unsure of how many hours of coverage we would need, so we played it by ear, and Holly ended up staying a half hour later than we originally thought. We just received our pictures back and they are stunning. She caught all of the moments we wanted and more! Thank you Holly for being so fun to work with and for capturing our day so perfectly!

Booking Holly as our photographer was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding! She was easy to reach, really listened to what we wanted, was patient with all of our questions, and always conducted herself professionally. My husband and I were both nervous going into our engagement session because both of us feel pretty uncomfortable in front of a camera, but Holly made us feel completely at ease and did a spectacular job of capturing candid moments that were true to us as a couple. Our wedding photos were no different - they far exceeded any expectations that we had, and we have gotten TONS of compliments on them. We would recommend Holly to anyone, and hope to work with her in the future for family portraits!!

Holly was great! We actually booked her based on her reviews and a brief email exchange, then met up with her four months before the wedding to talk through the plan for the day. I requested a lot of detail photos, and Holly captured them all, plus so many wonderful candid moments with our guests! We absolutely love our photos. She was also very flexible and let us add an extra hour of photography close to the big day when we decided to add a first look.

Working with Holly was absolutely wonderful. Her pictures are beautiful, and she is just delightful to talk to, work with, etc. She did a great job covering our rather big wedding-- every time we looked up, she was there, snapping away. I looked to her for advice a decent amount of time - "you're at weddings all the time and I'm not: what am I supposed to do now?" and she was very helpful.

I HIGHLY recommend Holly. She's the best.

Holly was the perfect photographer. She took the time to meet us in advance and get to know us as a couple. Her style and professionalism exceeded expectations, and were such a great fit for our small, intimate ceremony. She was so thoughtful of all our guests and family, had excellent suggestions for how to arrange the ceremony, and was such a reassurance throughout the hectic planning process! I would highly recommend Holly for any type of ceremony, and in fact have given her contact information to a few of my wedding guests who were very interested in booking her!

I would give Holly 6 starts if I could. She was amazing, I am so glad we found her! She shot our April wedding and was such a pleasure to work with. She always returns emails promptly, and was just so sweet. And she is talented!! My pictures came out amazing! Even if my photographer budget has been unlimited I would have still chosen Holly. She's amazing, thanks Holly!

I stumbled across Holly's work on The Knot and fell in love with the way she beautifully captured all the quiet, special moments of weddings as well as the big ones. Holly was the first vendor we met with and knew right away she was the right photographer for us. She is easy going, friendly, professional and did such a perfect job shooting our wedding. She helped us preserve our most favorite day forever through her amazing talent. Hire Holly, you will not be disappointed!

Holly is an amazing photographer! She was referred to us by a friend and it was one of our best and more affordable vendors! I even referred her to my sister for her wedding. With both our engagement session and wedding, Holly exceeded our expectations. She is professional and organized and has a calming presence. She followed through with everything we had requested and more. She viewed both the ceremony and reception venue prior to the wedding. Holly is reliable and talented at what she does. I will cherrish our wedding photos forever! Thank you Holly!

Holly photographed our wedding last August and was absolutely fabulous. From the moment we met Holly, we knew that she would be the ideal photographer for us -- laid-back, yet professional. She is kind and warm, but not at all intrusive the day of, and didn't ask us to do things we didn't want to do. She was flexible with our schedule when we were running late, and was a confident, warm presence while we were taking formal shots. Her pictures turned out just beautiful! We could not be happier. I'd recommend Holly to anyone looking for a professional artist as their photographer.

Holly photographed our wedding this September and we cannot stop looking through the photos! She is an absolute pleasure to work with, from the day we met to discuss our ideas to the actual event. Her journalistic style captured the excitement of every step of the day, from getting-ready to ceremony, portraits to dinner and dancing. We cared the most about having candid photos of ourselves and our guests (and much less about Pinterest-style shots of inanimate objects), and Holly did not disappoint! I honestly don't know how she managed to be so many places at once throughout the day. That said, we also love the more formal portraits and really appreciated Holly's calm and organized presence despite the typical family chaos - she somehow managed to track down stray family members, keep us on schedule, and make us look our best. She had great suggestions for locations to shoot near the venue but was never pushy and more than willing to accommodate my own desires as well (lets be honest, her ideas turned out way better - trust your professionals, people). After the wedding it took about 6 weeks to get our photos back, which can feel like an eternity after the wedding but the wait was absolutely worth it - I can only imagine how many shots she had to dig through to find *just* 600 favorites to send us! TL;DR - We found Holly based on her terrific reviews, hired her for her incredibly reasonable and inclusive pricing (no hidden fees, full access to high-resolution images), and would do so again in a heartbeat for her incredible work. We can't recommend her enough!

Holly photographed our wedding last October and it was absolutely wonderful. She is the perfect combination of professional and personable, and she is incredibly talented. We really love that her style is based in photojournalism. Looking back at our photos it feels like we're instantly back in that very moment. She captured some truly priceless moments on our wedding day and our portraits are gorgeous. We really enjoyed having her photograph our wedding. It was easy to be ourselves around her. I would choose Holly again in a heartbeat for any and all professional photos.

Working with Holly was one of the best and easiest decisions we made while wedding planning! Her photojournalistic style is very natural and the quality of images is comparable to those who charge far more. My husband and I wanted some gentle direction for our engagement and wedding photos, but not to be controlled and staged. Holly perfectly struck that balance – she has a kind, quiet disposition, was open to our ideas and offered her own when we needed advice. She remained in contact with us for 1.5 years as we planned everything, was easy to communicate with, and was lovely to have around, working with our families on the wedding day. Our photos came back quickly, were beautifully finished, and everyone raved about them. Holly won’t nickel and dime you, and you have all rights to your photos. You will get priceless, high-quality images that tell the story of your day, full of emotion and wonderful candid moments. We can’t recommend Holly more, and we will be turning to her for our future photography needs!

We used Holly for our engagement and wedding photos and could not have been happier! Her "photojournalistic" style was exactly what we were looking for. Holly is a sweet, patient and incredibly talented photographer who makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Everyone in our bridal party commented on how kind and friendly she was. Holly is an incredible value- her prices were extremely reasonable for how amazing her work is. My husband and I were beyond impressed with our final engagement and wedding photos! Holly was able to capture some amazing moments that we will cherish forever. If we have children we will definitely be calling Holly for a family photo shoot! Thank you, Holly!

We hired Holly for our wedding on May 23, 2015 and couldn't be happier! We were planning our wedding in Boston from our home in London and truly appreciated how responsive and flexible she was. Holly came recommended by a friend of ours and was exactly what we were looking for. She's an incredibly kind person, easy to talk to, and very professional. She truly captured the story of our day without being in the way of any moments to get the shot; several people even said they didn't notice we had a photographer! We received our photographs quickly and absolutely love them! Please check out her website to see her amazing work, we can't recommend her enough!

My husband and I have had several amazing experiences with Holly as our engagement and wedding photographer, and recently asked her to photograph our first child and take family photos since we've been so pleased with her work. From the moment we met Holly she put both of us at ease, and we are not picture people! Before our engagement session, my husband and I probably had about a handful of pictures taken of us that we both liked. After our engagement session, we had dozens! Holly is so great at capturing a sweet embrace, a look, or gesture that really conveys the emotion of the moment - we never felt posed or out of our element, and that was really important to me. She has a natural gift as a photographer than shines through in all the pictures she's taken for us. Even though it poured on our wedding day, making it impossible to take the pictures we'd planned in the gardens where we had the reception, Holly had the brilliant idea to sneak out to the old rolls royce we rented to take photos inside the car - those pictures ended up being some of my favorites from that day.
Holly is extremely professional, kind, and her photographs are spectacular. You will not find a better photographer!

My husband and I got married in November of 2013 and prior to the wedding we were really spending alot of time trying to find a great photographer who was also affordable. I spent many hours combing through photographers' websites, looking at the quality of images and reviewing the pricing and finally came across Holly's site. My husband and I really liked the photojournalism style/candid style of her pictures and then we found her pricing to be very reasonable. Also, what was great is that she offers flexibility in terms of the minimum number of hours that she'll do (for example alot of photograhers say that when you have to pay for at least 6 or 8 hours of their time which is what drives up their costs.) Holly offered much more flexible options and required at least 3 hours (we contracted with her for 4) which enabled us to pick a more affordable plan. Holly is also just a really nice and kind person. She did a great job at the wedding and things went so well that I've actually continued to work with her and I've hired her to do some photography for my company's new website and brochures and my colleages and I have been very happy with her work. We plan to continue working with as well. I would highly recommend her!!

Holly photographed my November 2013 wedding, along with my engagement photos a year prior. I absolutely loved working with Holly. Some of the candid shots she captured of us with our family and friends -- and especially everyone on the dance floor -- are some of my favorites from the day. She captured the fun and relaxed feel of our day, and when I look back on my wedding photos all I do is smile.

Holly has a lot of experience with the best order in which to get all the shots we wanted, but was open to all of our suggestions on locations or the different groupings of people that we wanted photographed. She's such a pro she even told us how to cut the cake for our cake cutting. Holly is also cool, calm, and collected, something always appreciated on a busy day.

I have recommended Holly to others who have asked me for a photographer. Hiring her was an easy decision and one I would make again in a heartbeat.

We were so happy we chose Holly to photograph our wedding. She was professional, on top of everything, and knew exactly what she was doing. She made sure she got all of the shots we wanted (and many we wouldn't have thought of) without being pushy in any way.

We are both usually pretty camera-shy, but we felt very comfortable posing for Holly and we were really happy with the results. We felt they captured the spirit of our wedding and all of its moments, big and small, perfectly. We also didn't have any real fixed ideas about what kinds of shots we wanted, but Holly offered suggestions and we trusted her after seeing her previous work.

We booked Holly for our June 2014 wedding, along with engagement photos in October 2013. She was amazing to work with, and we recommend her highly. Hiring Holly was one of the first big wedding decisions we made. We wanted someone who would shoot in a photojournalist style and capture all of the natural, fun moments of the wedding, which Holly was perfect for (and she books up early, so don't wait too long). She made us feel very comfortable while taking our photos, and her reception photos were amazing (she was everywhere, and yet we hardly noticed her!) Thank you again, Holly, for being our photographer.

As the Mother of the Bride and acting wedding planner I was worried about EVERYTHING! There were no worries with Holly, she was professional and fun all wrapped in to one awesome package! We booked her about a year out and she stayed in touch throughout that time. The big day arrived and she was ready to go! She seemed to pop up at just the right time for lots of fun candid pics as well as those planned pics that we requested. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer and I will definitely use her for my other daughter's wedding when the time comes.

Holly is an amazing wedding photographer. If you are undecided on a photographer, I can tell you that choosing Holly will be one of the best decisions you will make for your wedding. Below are a few highlights of her talents.

* Artistic ability: Holly’s photos are absolutely gorgeous. Holly has a talent for capturing emotions (each smile, teardrop, etc.). Even looking at the photos now, I can remember the special moments of our wedding day. She’s certainly a highly skilled photojournalist. Holly’s attention to detail is impressive; she captures beauty in ordinary things. She’s also great at producing formal shots.

* Customer service: Holly is a very professional photographer. From start to finish, she was so responsive to our needs and was prompt in all her correspondences. She also took the time to understand my husband and me as a couple. She took time to meet with us beforehand and also visit the venue in advance. She really wanted to make our wedding day special, and she certainly did!

* Price: We did some research on various wedding photographers. Holly was the best one! Her work is much better than some of the photographers who charged many times her fee. This was the best value, hands down.

* Personality: Holly is so gracious. She has a very patient and calming presence. In light of the stressors of the wedding day, she helped us all to relax and enjoy the day.

A big thanks to Holly, we’ve received many compliments on our wedding photos. Our experience with Holly was so pleasant that that I’ve already recommended her to my friends for their weddings. Like us, they choose Holly and also love her!
You will love Holly’s photos. They will be timeless treasures for you and your family.

Choosing Holly as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made during the entire planning process! She shot both our small wedding ceremony and our large cocktail reception (two different nights) and her photographs came out incredible on both nights.

At both events Holly was timely and totally prepared when she arrived. Throughout our families' hectic last-minute preparation, Holly was incredibly patient and good-humored - a really great quality for a person who's going to share in one of life's most precious moments with you.

My wife and I like to joke that Holly was like a photography ninja, but the comparison is apt - she has this way of suddenly appearing in the right place at the right time to capture some really amazing candid shots. She's never in the way and really manages to capture the tone and emotion of the moments in her photographs.

Immediately after our small ceremony (a family-only ceremony at the Montcrief Room at Pine Wood Manor in Waltham, MA) we did a very cool "family photoshoot" with the various folks in our family arranged around the Montcrief Room (a very cool old library with a New England brick-and-ivy feel). Holly really nailed these posed shots, managing to make everyone look cool, at ease and totally "themselves". They came out great and we're so glad we took them.

For our cocktail reception, we asked Holly to emphasize candid moments in addition to normal poses. The results were immensely satisfying - shots that immediately jump off the screen and take you back to those moments. The quality and production values are great - beautiful lighting, great focus, awesome clarity - truly professional-quality work.

In short, Holly was awesome! The next time we have an event, she'll be the first vendor we contact. If you're looking for gorgeous, rich shots that you'll want to keep looking at again and again, Holly Redmond is the photographer for you.

Holly was the first and only photographer my husband and I interviewed. I think we actually booked her on the spot. She made us feel so comfortable and we knew that she would give us incredible photos but even we did not anticipate how totally perfect they would be.

Let me start by saying that Holly is an absolute joy to work with from start to finish! She's professional, friendly, accommodating, and really goes out of her way to understand what you want before the day even arrives. she visited the venue beforehand to scope out the best spots so that on the actual day, we didn't have to wander around the grounds looking for that perfect shot. she already had it planned! On my wedding day, she showed up promptly, introduced herself to all of the important people and then suddenly "disappeared"- I never knew she was even there capturing memories and moments that flew by on that day.

When we received our photos, we could not have been more thrilled! Looking at them is like reliving my wedding day- it brings the same feeling of joy and happiness that I experienced on that day. there aren't words to describe what a gift that is- to be able to re-live the happiest day of my life, whenever I want to, simply by opening my album.

All of this is truly priceless, but the best part is that Holly is so affordable. Her work compares and in many cases is even better than the work of photographers who cost twice and three times what she charges. There is no better bang for your buck as far as I am concerned. Holly is amazing- you won't regret hiring this incredibly talented woman to document your day!

I cannot say enough great things about Holly! From the first email exchange, to meeting her, to planning the day of events to the actual wedding, she was fabulous! During our first meeting, I immediately liked Holly because she was so down to earth and she had great pictures to share! Her sample books were beautiful- they had a range of 'traditional pictures' with a variety of candid ones too (which my husband loved!). During the planning process, she had great suggestions of what type of pictures to take, timing, etc. She touched base every few months, which made me feel special, and we had a productive 'planning' meeting a week before the wedding. She took note of our 'wish-lists' of pictures and timing and got them all during the wedding. During the wedding itself- Holly was amazing! She is one of those photographers that you don't need to call over or search for and she remembered all of the important pictures and requests that my husband and I made. She was extremely professional, efficient and a ton of fun to work with! And to top it all off- my pictures are amazing!! I love them so much and they came out wonderful! I still am getting compliments from friends and family on the quality of pictures. From the candid to traditional to emotional and sweet, Holly captured our wedding day perfectly. Holly is an amazing photographer and can fit into anyone's budget. Pictures are so important and I felt like Holly did a wonderful job capturing the emotion, fun and love within the entire event. I truly cannot say enough great things about Holly and would highly recommend her to any bride.

Holly was such a joy to work with! We did our engagement photos with her and she had such an eye for amazing photos and was very flexible with the places we thought to shoot (we have some incredible shots from inside the Boston Public Library). She immediately made my camera-shy husband comfortable and made our 2 hour session feel like hanging out with a friend.

Prior to our wedding, Holly was amazingly responsive to any and all questions I had no matter how freaked out I was! I was a hyperorganized bride and sent her a list of all the shots I wanted her to get. She was absolutely happy to work with me and we worked together to think of some fun and interesting shots.

On our wedding day, Holly arrived early and immediately melded into the hustle and bustle of the day. I barely noticed her taking pictures until we were doing formals.

I originally chose Holly as our photographer because I wanted someone to take pictures that would tell me and my family the story of our day. She caught all the moments I needed her to and I can now look back on our wedding day fondly remembering all the funny, scary, beautiful moments! The cost of Holly's time is a steel when you look at the absolute quality of her work. She is personal, personable, flexible, kind, and extremely talented. You won't be disappointed.

My husband and I could not be happier with Holly's work for our engagement photo session and wedding. She is an absolute sweeheart, 100% professional, and the pictures that she took were beautiful. She has a very quiet presence and more just observes and clicks away rather than directs and instructs. If you are a bride who does not want a photographer yelling at you on the day of your wedding and saying things like "smile, SMILE, now fist pump!" Holly is the type of photographer that you are looking for. I think that the end result is very natural with beautifully captured moments. She photographs the event as it unfolds naturally rather than forces artificial moments. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. I think that her work is commensurate with photographers charging at least three times as much.

Holly was a wonderful photographer for our wedding. When I was searching for photographers, I wanted to be sure to hire one that would capture the true moments during a wedding ceremony and reception, and Holly did just that. She labels herself as a photojournalist, and the best pictures of the night were those that weren't posed and "in the moment". And everyone loves them!

Besides the great quality of her pictures, Holly was very easy to work with. Every time I emailed her with a question or concern, she responded very quickly -- usually the same day. Day of the wedding -- she was very prompt and arrived at the hour on the dot. And she was all smiles throughout the night -- very stress free, which is what a bride needs on her wedding day! On top of that, I found her prices to be very affordable for what she gave us -- a DVD of all the high-res photos she took, along with an online viewing gallery -- as well as the cute spread she puts together on her blog.

Hiring the right wedding photographer was very important to me. I wanted someone who would capture the emotion and the fun of the day, and I needed someone who was reasonably priced. Enter Holly. I came across Holly's website and I knew that was what I wanted my wedding photos to look like. Her pricing is very affordable, and she gives you the originals of all of your images without charging you for crazy things like having her 'seal' removed from the photos (there are photographers out there who won't do that!)
Holly was nothing but professional throughout the several months we were in contact, and she was very helpful in responding to my questions and concerns. We had a great engagement session with her a few months before the wedding. On the wedding day she arrived early, and she was always very prompt with getting photos back to us.
Our photos are stunning-- she knows how to capture moments, without trying to awkwardly create them. We have awesome candid shots of the two of us and our guests at the wedding, and she did a great job capturing all of the dancing fun. She was all over the reception documenting the action, without being obtrusive, and we received compliments about her from our family and guests alike.
I can't recommend Holly enough! I would not have hired anyone else.

Holly was possibly one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding. She is immensely talented, and was more than accommodating in the days and weeks leading up to the Big Day (she handled my "bridal crazy" like a champ!). On the day of, she managed to be everywhere we needed her to be without ever being in the way. Ever. It was amazing- I think everyone has been to at least one wedding where you miss key moments because the photographer was smack in the middle of your view, but not Holly. Our budget was tight, so we could only hire her for less time than we would have liked, but she made it work and captured everything that we had said we wanted and then some. She was perfect. Our pictures came in pretty much exactly a month after the wedding, and I can't stop looking at them. I really cannot recommend her enough, and I have nothing but stellar things to say about her work. You'd be crazy not to hire her!

On the day of our wedding, Holly rolled with the punches when our drive to the ceremony was less than perfect, blended in and worked well with our guests and families, and, most importantly, captured the moments -- both big and small. While the big moments are incredible to flip through, we're also thankful to have the little ones as well: the way the menu looked next to a place setting, how the flowers bloomed in the garden where the ceremony was held, a quick glance between bride and groom. Looking through our photos wasn't simply a chance to relive the day, but to remember the details and the planning that went into creating one of the most memorable moments of our lives.

Holly was in short - awesome. We wanted a photographer who had a photojournalistic style and really captured the moments of the wedding. Holly did just that. We couldn't be happier with our pictures!

She was also very detailed and flexible. We met a few times before the wedding and went over every detail, including a list of "must have" shots. Not only did she get every must have on our list, she got shots that are unique and beautiful that we never thought of.

I highly recommend Holly!

Holly Redmond is an amazing photographer! My husband and I were married July 1st at the Estate at Moraine Farm in Beverly. Holly helped to make our wedding such a beautiful day and she truly captured our personalities, as well as the personalities of our family and friends. My husband and I have a difficult time being in the spotlight and Holly made us feel as ease and when we viewed our pictures, we were surprised that she captured moments when we did not even realize she was there. Holly’s work is an incredible value for the high quality photographs she takes. She is not only talented, professional and reliable, she is also such a nice person who is friendly, sweet and very low profile. Our guests also commented on her low-key presence and people are still talking about how beautiful the pictures are of our wedding day. Holly mailed us our wedding photographs on DVD only 5 weeks after our wedding. My husband and I highly recommend Holly Redmond and cannot say enough good things about her and the high quality of her work.

We used Holly for our wedding at the New England Aquarium over memorial day weekend 2011. She did a wonderful job and produced top quality results. Words can't describe how lucky we were to have found Holly. Not only are her prices extremely competitive...You get what you paid for DOES NOT apply in this case. We got the best of the best!

We met with Holly in advanced with minimal suggestions for her on what kind of pictures we wanted. She was experienced enough to help guide us in the right direction in order to capture a series of fabulous pictures that we both are happy to cherish forever!

I cannot say enough about our wonderful experience with Holly! Planning my wedding from 3,000 miles away, made some tasks challenging, but I had absolutely nothing to worry about in my experiences with Holly. She was highly accommodating to meeting with me during one of my few visits before the wedding and was flexible to meeting the bridal party at the salon on pretty short notice. She hit the right balance between my interest in candid shots as well as many requests for more traditional portraits. She was highly efficient in capturing all of the group portraits during the cocktail hour so that my husband, the bridal party, and I were able to enjoy time with all of the guests. On top of everything, she captured all of the moments of our celebration beautifully... it is such a joy to look back on our day through her lens.

My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Holly Redmond in connection with our September 2010 wedding and the entire experience, from the initial moment we reached out to obtain additional information until the moment we received our DVD was a wonderful experience.
When we initially reached out to her with questions regarding her services, her responses were prompt and very informative. When we signed on with her, her prompt responsiveness continued, she maintained constant contact with us throughout the process.
Holly reached out to us prior to our day to discuss our preferences in order to make certain she was providing us with what we wanted, and we did. We received our pictures shortly after and the product was amazing – she did an excellent job capturing the special moments that made our day.
We felt Holly was extremely kind and very professional to work with – she showed up on time (even early), was professionally dressed, worked efficiently and inconspicuously throughout the ceremony and reception.
Her talent is remarkable, capturing moments I never thought possible. The product we received was priced VERY reasonably. I highly recommend Holly Redmond photography to capture any special moment.

I highly reccommend Holly. Her previous newspaper experience capturing sports events has taught her to "be everywhere at once" and to capture that expression or gesture that others might miss. Her candids are very special whether it is the look on my son-in-laws face when his eyes first see my daughter down the aisle or whether it is my crazy brother dancing with abandon! Her photos of my daughter and son-in-law together look like they are from a famous studio. She has such a nice touch and her camara makes the light look like it is gently caressing its subjects. Holly was personable and listened carefully to my wants when we first met. And then she delivered. I am delighted and give myself congratulations on finding such a wonderful photographer!

Holly was so great to work with from the moment we contacted her about photographing our 7/10/10 wedding in Boston. We live in Western MA so the initial planning was done over the phone.. we immediately felt confident in Holly and at ease. She stayed in touch with us throughout the entire process which went very smoothly. Holly was very attentive and wanted to make sure our photos had a personalized touch. She got amazing shots and really captured the feel and emotion of our wedding. I would definitely recommend Holly and hope that we have another occasion in the future to take advantage of her talent!

We feel like we really got value in terms of the quality of photos and the options Holly provided. Thanks Holly and best wishes!

Our wedding was just 2 months ago and we loved Holly. The day of the wedding she showed up exactly on time (if not a little early), got all of our shots done before the ceremony with time to spare, took family and wedding party pictures after the ceremony and we still had time to get to our cocktail hour. My husband and I, as well as our guests, were so comfortable with her there that we hardly noticed the photos being taken (this led to many great "photojournalist" pictures). We kept saying we just wanted our wedding day to be fun and our pictures show that everyone there had a great time. Holly is a very kind person as well and we enjoyed her being there for our big day. My husband and I said that we would have enjoyed having her as a guest even if she wasn't the photographer.

Holly was wonderful to work with. After looking at her work online, I knew she was an excellent photographer and she works in the style I like. Her prices were comparable to others of the same caliber. The biggest difference with her was that I felt comfortable around her from day one and I knew going into the wedding day that I wouldn't have to worry at all about the pictures. She got them back to us after the wedding within the time frame she had said and I love them! My husband and I are very happy with the results. She really captured the joy of the day!

Holly has been one of the best decisions we had made in our wedding. Upon meeting her at Starbucks for our first meeting, we knew right away that Holly was exactly what we were looking for. She captures stunning posed photographs, but what we also wanted was a photographer who could capture the moments in addition to posing them, and this is exactly what Holly did. Every single photo, whether posed or not, was breathtaking. You hardly noticed she was there until you looked at the photographs and realized she was everywhere. It was absolutely perfect.

Holly was great! she spent time on the phone with me getting to know me and exactly what I wanted from her. I didn't want to spend a ton of time on posed pictures and really admired her photojournalism and she delivered. Because of the time she takes getting to know her clients it doesn't feel like you have a stranger at your wedding, she became an important part of it for me.

Amazing Photographer

Holly is an amazing photographer and person, a combination which makes her an ideal wedding photographer! My husband was chatting with her for the first time before the wedding and really liked how warm and down to earth she is, which was a huge asset in helping us feel comfortable in the "natural" wedding couple poses and corralling family for group photos. She was amazing in guiding us in the planning phase, and on the day of did a great job being there to capture all the important moments while also being super unobtrusive so that we just got to really enjoy the day. The quality of her work speaks for itself!
