    Wonderful Experience!

    Working with Holly was a wonderful experience! We won a free engagement photoshoot with Xpression Photography through a vendor showcase and it was the best prize I could have asked for. Holly was super quick with all communication and got me the photos back faster than I could have dreamed. They were beautiful and any additional touch ups I requested were done so quickly and blended seamlessly. The online gallery was very easy to navigate. Overall, it was an extremely positive experience!

    Holly is the best!

    I love Xpression and Holly for multiple reasons, but the most practical is the package is great and all encompassing. We got everything we wanted for 1 set price without surprises or add-ons. My wife and I normally feel so awkward posing for pictures, but Holly somehow made us both feel completely natural and at ease. She is quick to build trust and creates amazing pictures. My favorite part is she is an expert at what she does, therefore you can 100% trust her recommendations for anything and she really thinks it through. For example, she checked sunset on the day we got married and suggested the best times for pictures (something I would have never thought of). I could keep talking about Holly forever, but my final thought is she is so fast. Our preview was ready in under 24 hours and all our pictures were ready the day after we got back from honeymoon (which we went on immediately). She has a great, natural shooting style that compliments you but still looks like you in the picture.

    Photographers Extraordinaire

    I cannot say enough positive things about Holly and Amber. Before you even choose to book, Holly takes the time to talk through your vision of the day and boy does she listen! During sessions she is personable and gives great directions. The quality of her work is amazing and I was thrilled with every single engagement shot she took. Holly was always responsive and so willing to talk through details of my wedding day, making sure everything went smoothly. On the day of our wedding Holly and Amber came to party, even in the 95 degree heat. They were friendly and efficient, helping us execute our vision to a T. Within 24 hours we had a preview of our wedding portraits and we were blown away. They are both so talented and I will definitely be working with Xpression again.

    Perfection

    Holly and Amber provided the most amazing experience we could have ever hoped for in a wedding photographer. Seven months before the event, Holly was able to pull up the Sun calendar and she advised on the perfect timeline for completion of hair and make-up and the start of the ceremony so we could optimize daylight hours and capture the most glorious sunset pictures that allowed for my daughter and new son-in-law to enjoy their dinner and a drink in the midst of all the craziness. Holly and Amber maintained such a calm and reassuring demeanor and they helped ease the worry of this old mama. They both helped keep this dumpster fire of a Mother of the Bride together and it was no easy task. They captured the most amazing pictures and had my daughter create a shot list before hand so they could check off the desired photos. If you book your wedding with another photographer, you will really miss out on an exception experience. Thank you Holly and Amber!

    Dream Photography Team!

    Holly is the best! She was highly recommended from our venue and I could not have imagined a better, more personal experience.

    Holly was always super friendly, helpful with coming up with different ideas, and capturing the best moments. The photos speak for themselves.

    The best!

    Holly and Amy were amazing throughout the entire process! My husband and I have only seen a sneak peek at some of the pictures and we are already SO happy with how they turned out. The engagement shoot let us get to know Holly beforehand. She went above and beyond to ensure we got as many shots a we wanted and more! They have a great eye and I would hire them for any event in the future.

    Best Wedding Photographers!!!

    Without a doubt, the most professional and talented photographer I've ever worked with as a DJ in a wedding last Sunday 10.3.21. I highly recommend Holly Perrault and her team to anyone looking to capture priceless moments that will last a lifetime!

    Topnotch photographer that keeps your day in FOCUS

    My wife and I could not have asked for a better wedding day, and Holly and the Xpression Photography team captured every aspect of that day for us to cherish forever. Holly was more then a photographer, we now see her as part of our lives and someone who we will keep going back to capture our families moments. She has a compassionate direction, that got us the shots we wanted for the day, but did not impede our enjoyment of the celebration. Looking back through our pictures, her and her team captured the littlest moments that made our day look like a Hallmark movie. Holly’s warm personality made me so comfortable in our shoots I forgot I was having my picture taken. She is personable, professional, and you will consider her family when you are done. 5 BIG STARS for Xpression photography.

    She captured every single detail - beautiful images to last a lifetime!

    Families, friends, and challenges that come with a destination wedding but Xpression Photography didn’t miss a single detail. Guests commented on how sweet Holly was and the bride and groom couldn’t be happier at the images from the entire weekend. We have a lifetime of memories and beautiful photographs capturing every detail.

    Stunning Photographer - Highly Recommend!

    Holly and her assistant Amber are amazing photographers. They were also very kind, super patient, and everyone felt very comfortable with them. Holly also went above and beyond by helping with any question I had relating to general wedding planning details, a venue location change, suggestions for beautiful engagement photo locations, and other wonderful suggestions. They worked together to capture the best moments and the photos turned out beautifully. Starting with our engagement session, Holly worked with us to bring our vision to life and learned our personalities and preferences. For the wedding, Holly and Amber arrived when we were getting ready and spent the whole day making sure they captured all moments of the day, first look, and wedding flawlessly! The wedding package is amazing and ensures that no time limits impact the ability to capture all of the moments. I highly recommend Xpression Photography for your event and wedding!

    Great photographer and so sweet and helpful

    Holly has been an absolute joy to work with the past couple of years while planning my wedding. She is very professional but also very friendly and sweet. She has been so helpful with timelines, outfit choices, shot lists, poses, and anything you could think of. She was very flexible with our venue and date changes and always let us know she was there for us for anything. Holly and Amber were fabulous on our wedding day, making sure we got every shot we planned (even in a time crunch). The photos we got in our sneak peak were GORGEOUS and we can't wait to see the rest!!

    Xpression Photography's reply:

    Omgosh Nicole! Thank you so much! We were so honored to be a part of your day and help in any way we could. From both Amber and I, congratulations on your marriage and we hope for you a lifetime of love, happiness and prosperity! xoxo

    Extremely classy and professional

    Holly is a master of her craft. We hired Holly to do photos for our wedding. She has a great personality and is highly professional. Her fun character and likability allowed her to fit in seamlessly with the groomsmen, bridesmaids our families and the venue. She is a simple and effective turn key solution for ANY event. She made the entire photo experience fun and lighthearted. I highly recommend Holly and her company for ANYONE AT ANY EVENT. She made my wife and I look great on one of the best days of our life. I can't say enough good things about her and her work.

    The best of the best!!!

    Holly with Xpression Photography was truly everything we could have asked for and more in a wedding photographer!! From the beginning, Holly put us at ease by walking us through the planning process and meeting with us several times to go over plans. The day of our wedding she did an amazing job capturing our moments, and even helped my not so photogenic husband look like a natural thanks to her expertise and pointers she gave him! The cherry on top with Holly is that she had our sneak peek to us the morning after our wedding, and our ENTIRE GALLERY to us only 10 days after getting married!!! We could not be more thrilled with how our photos came out, we just absolutely love them and will treasure them forever! Holly with Xpression Photography is incredible and we are so thankful that we chose her to capture our day!

    Absolutely wonderful!

    Holly (and Amber) at Xpression Photography are a dream team. Holly captured so many special moments from the teary eyes to unbridled laughter to those goofy moments that will makes us look back and smile. As a bride, these are some of the most beautiful pictures I've ever had taken of myself. And yet the pictures feel genuine, like Holly captured how glowing and radiant and happy I was on this day. Our wedding photos are going to be a lifelong treasure! Holly and Amber are professional and kind and a pleasure to work with. You really can't go wrong in choosing Xpression Photography for your photos!

    Xpression Photography's reply:

    Lauren, thank you so much for this incredible review. As photographers, it's one of the best compliments we could ever receive, and exactly as we hope to make you feel! We are thanked often, but truly, the thanks is always ours. THANK YOU for allowing us to be a part of your day and for letting us witness the love you had for each other. xoxo -Holly & Amber

    The best vendor decision we made for our wedding!

    Hiring Holly of Xpression Photography and her team was without a doubt one of the best decisions that my husband and I made during our wedding planning process. From my first phone call with Holly, I immediately knew she was someone we could trust and was a true professional that made each of our wedding day photos swoon-worthy! Our friends and family (and even complete strangers!) marveled at how elegant, stunning and completely romantic our photos were. And my husband and I couldn’t agree more! Holly made us feel so comfortable and was a complete joy to work with - from our initial call, to our engagement shoot, and throughout our wedding day. We received our entire wedding album back from Holly before we were even able to return from our honeymoon – we were thrilled to be able to reminisce so soon afterwards! Holly and Amber didn’t miss a single detail. Every shot they take is with a creative, careful eye that you’ll treasure for a lifetime. Holly is more than just a professional photographer – she’ll quickly become a friend who you can rely on to capture all of your life’s biggest moments.

    Book this photographer! ❤︯

    Holly and Amber are INCREDIBLE! ❤️❤️❤️ I could not be happier with my wedding photos and engagement shoot. Holly is SO easy to work with and so much fun to be around. She has such a big heart and has a true passion for what she does and it really shows through in her attention to detail, creativity, and personal touch she adds in really getting to know her clients and what they want in their photos. I am so glad we had the opportunity to work with her and look forward to getting baby pictures and family photos later in life as our little family grows! ❤️

    They are truly amazing!

    Holly and the gang are absolutely amazing. Meeting with Holly to see if we wanted her to shoot for our big day, we immediately felt that she and the other two photographers in Xpressions Photography cared about us as people. Holly is professional, down to earth, and very very talented at working with the time constraints and stress that comes with a wedding. It rained during our wedding day, but you would never know looking at our photos- she worked her magic!

    Beautiful Work!

    I don't even know how I can put into words how much we loved having Holly and Amber as our wedding photographers. When we first met Holly months before our wedding to do an engagement session, I'm sure she could tell we had never been professionally photographed before! We were awkward, goofy, didn't know what to do. She took control and told us how to sit/stand, poses to do, facial expressions, everything! She is even the one that suggested the location for our engagement shoot based on what I told her I was looking for! Holly is seriously such a loving, kind, funny, and easy person to be around, which is EXACTLY what you need when you are taking photos you will look back on for years to come and you want to be comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, Holly, Amber, and their intern were all there from the moment we started hair and makeup in the morning, to the moment we had our send off at 10:30PM! Seriously, they stayed ALL day (and that's what they do for every client!!). It was a relief for us to know that no detail would be missed. No matter what curveballs were thrown on our wedding day (and trust me there were a few), Holly and Amber were there every step of the way to make sure we still got the shots we planned on. Holly - we love you. Thank you for everything you have done for us. You have become a great friend and I know you'll continue to be in our lives forever!

    She was the best there is. She made sure every picture captured my fairy tale wedding that I can cherish forever.

    Holly Perreault & Xpression Photography are the most professional and delightful company to work with. Every time I had an idea for a photo, all I had to do was ask, and it was done! She truly took her time and captured every aspect of my wedding day. From little details on the bottom of my shoes to the look on my husbands face as I walked down the aisle, each photo was breathtaking. From the moment I hired her, communication was a priority and enjoyable. She would offer ideas and suggestions that most brides forget about with everything going on during the special day. When ever I wanted to meet to discuss different ideas, she was prompt about getting together to talk. Not only were the pictures phenomenal, but she was so fast with getting them back to me to enjoy and relive my fairytale. She truly made it a night I will never forget, and the pictures are the proof. Thank you so much to Holly & your professional team. I wish I could get married 100 more times and she would be the photographer each and every time. No one is more passionate and exciting to work with than Xpression Photography!!

    The best, best, best!

    Holly is a dream to work with! We hired her after falling in love with her photos she had taken for another bride and groom. We loved her even more when we met her - she is so talented and such a professional. She is also has a great sense of humor! She suggested that we do an engagement shoot to get an idea of the types of photos we liked and we did. Turns out that neither one of us liked portrait photos but preferred those candid moments and Holly really listened to our feedback and delivered exactly that for our wedding photos. She will not rest until she gets you the photos that you're looking for - whatever those may be. Holly was able to capture everything we wanted and more (see below for the photo of my father in law) - what a fun memory to have! I highly, highly recommend Holly - she is everything and more!

    Xpression Photography and Holly are AMAZING!

    Holly and Amber did an absolutely wonderful job photographing our wedding. We are so in love with our photos, and they are a complete and perfect recording of our special day. Looking through the photos is a great way to relive the high of the day, and we cannot wait to get a few blown up on canvases for our home. Holly was such a joy to work with- she kept the day moving and made sure we had everything we were looking for. We cannot recommend Holly and Xpression Photography enough!

    Holly and Amber are incredible photographers. They take exceptional, creative and fun photographs. My fiance loved spending his morning with Amber and I loved spending my morning with Holly. They made us feel like we were the only couple they had ever worked with and gave us undivided attention. I've only seen a sneak peak of our photos, but I have no doubt they are going to be perfect. I plan on keeping Holly and Amber on call as we need photographers in the future. Thank you sooo much!!!

    Expectations exceeded!

    From the moment we first had contact with Holly, we knew she would be the perfect fit for our wedding day. She was recommended to us through a family member whose wedding she recently shot. Holly has a romantic and relaxed style to her photographs that I fell in love with. She and Amber captured every moment that I could have imaged and more on our wedding day. She was with us for however long we needed her to be on our big day, no questions asked. It was such a relief knowing that I could put my full trust in her and Amber to capture the most important days of our lives. Holly started with our engagement pictures. Our session was full of laughs; my husband and I had a blast! From the time between our engagement pictures and our wedding, Holly remained in contact often to ensure my “vision” for my wedding day came true. If I had questions, she was immediately responsive and always informative, offering suggestions and recommendations that were beyond helpful! I love her and Amber’s creativity and their ability to quickly adjust if there is a change of plans (weddings never go exactly as planned! Haha). We received both our engagement and wedding photographs quickly as promised. They were flawless! Every month since our wedding, I have made a point to sit down and go through all of our pictures because I just love them so much! I would 100% recommend Xpression Photography! We are so thankful for Holly and what she provided us with to cherish with our families for the rest of our lives! She truly exceeded our expectations!!
