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 :

My family had a mini session with Holly this past February, and she was wonderful! Within 30 minutes she captured a variety of shots and made everyone at ease with her warm manner. She is both friendly and professional, and was very easy to work throughout the process. Her work speaks for itself - the photos turned out fantastic!

We had a mini maternity photo session with Holly Castillo which exceeded all expectations. Holly was thoughtful about our poses, professionally directed us and was open to our requests. She had the photos completed and in my inbox a few days later, and they were stunning! I loved the lighting, the moments Holly captured and the overall style of her photography. Her skill level and work melted my heart and brought me to tears. I loved the photos she took, they were breathtaking portraits of our family and soon to be daughter.

The photos turned out beautiful and on the actual day, she and her partner just came in and got right to work! I didn't even realize they had arrived at first. Very professional and personable. Highly recommend.

Holly is an amazing artist. She has an eye for beauty. Before we even hired her for our daughter's wedding we were blown away at her photos. So easy to work with and she has fantastic ideas. We just LOVE her! Can't wait for her to take our grandbaby pics too, someday. (Hopefully soon)

Holly is amazing! She took pictures of my son and was able to keep him occupied and engaged which is often times hard for little ones. The photos came out amazing! Would recommend her for weddings, kids photos, family photos, etc.

Holly Castillo is very professional and fun to work with. We did a sunset photshoot for our wedding anniversary before moving and our pictures came out beautiful. I would definitely work with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and amazing photographer.

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! We can't recommend her enough!

Our experience with Holly was unique, but in a great way! Several months before our wedding, she let us know that she was pregnant. However, she took care of hiring an associate photographer (Natalie) that was amazing! And she is still going to take the time to edit our photos even though she literally just gave birth. Thank you!

Holly is a beautiful person and a great photographer! Not only are her results gorgeous, but she's fun to work with. My fiance and I did an engagement photo shoot with her last month, which we had won in a giveaway! My fiance can be a big goober and hard to manage in photos because he's too busy goofing off but she was able to work and get him to focus for a few shutters at a time The way she works with lighting and the tones she uses in her photography really makes them stand out. I love her candidness about her business!

Holly was amazing with my five kids who were in varying states of wanting their pictures taken. She let them be themselves as she did her work, and I got some great pictures that really capture my kids at this time (and that have them all looking at the camera at the same time)! Looking forward to booking with her again.

Holly did an excellent job capturing our son's first birthday. I forgot she was there (which is a good thing!) and she was able to capture candid moments that we otherwise would have missed. The quality of the photos she delivered were excellent and she was professional, courteous, and prompt with the delivery of the final edited photos.

Her prices are very reasonable and she is so sweet. My two year old son was having a temper tantrum right before we went to the photoshoot....I was worried he was going to be hard to photograph. She worked with him and the pictures came out AMAZING!

We hired Holly for my daughters 18th birthday /graduation party. We couldn't be more pleased with her! She was professional from start to finish. She was flexible and easy to have at the party and always there to get great shots! She has a 'no problem attitude' which goes a long way with me!Her photos were beautiful and creative. I would recommend Holly for anyone who wants an excellent photographer to capture the most special moments.

Amazing hidden gem, don't pass her by. We are so happy with her photos. Sweet, professional, on time, and she did photos I will forever cherish. Great family or event photography. We are so happy with our photos, and you will be too if you give her a chance.

Holly was so great to work with. She came to our location and worked so well with our kids. We were so pleased with the pictures she got of our family and we will definitely use her in the future.

We booked Holly for our family photos and she did so great! Our 1.5 year old son was being less than cooperative but Holly was so patient and friendly. Somehow she still managed to get some great shots! Also very quick to get our photos to us and really easy to download them.

My husband and I booked a sunset beach photo session and we could not be any happier at how our photos turned out! She made us feel comfortable during our entire session capturing specials moments that made for beautiful photos for us to cherish for years to come. You will not regret contacting Holly Castillo Photography. We highly recommend Her, She's amazing!
