I photograph weddings because when memories fade, as they eventually do, what you have left are the photographs; physical, celebratory and lasting evidence of what was a magnificent coming together. Wedding days are for laughter and promises and gathering and they are an example of all things good in the world. If that's not worth documenting with full heart I don't know what is.

My husband and I could not be more grateful to have connected with Holly and her capturing our wedding. My husband is a photographer so I tasked him with finding our wedding photographer considering his knowledge. He found the BEST. We had a wonderful time working with Holly. The day was fun and easy. Her and her team were on top of every moment and didn’t miss a thing. We were floored when we received the edited photos. They were even more incredible than we had anticipated.

We feel like we made the best decision by choosing Holly to document our big day. From our initial phone call, we knew we had to book Holly. She is so warm, bubbly, and personable, and made us feel confident that she could make us feel comfortable behind the camera. During our wedding, she was able to bring out genuine smiles in all of us - including the young kids and the more typically stoic members of the family. We knew we wanted someone to capture our big day organically, and Holly did exactly that, and surpassed any expectations that we had. On the big day (as with any wedding), there were so many things happening all at once. However, Holly and her second shooter, Loren, were able to capture all of our favorite moments so perfectly, while making it look so effortless. All of our friends complimented us on how amazing the photos turned out, and how quickly we received them! We can’t stop smiling from reliving those moments now that we have the pictures to look back on. We will cherish these moments forever, thanks to Holly and Loren! Thank you!!

Holly did an incredible job capturing our micro-wedding on the Sonoma Coast. A week prior to our wedding, Holly unfortunately experienced a knee injury which left her in a boot. Not only did she communicate this with me in advance (and apologized profusely!), but she brought an assistant, second shooter, and a scooter to make sure she was able to capture all our important wedding moments. In one memorable moment from the wedding, Holly hopped up the stairs at our reception barn on one leg to make sure she captured a group family photo! That is just one example of the professionalism, dedication, and energy Holly brings to her work. We had so many family members tell us how much they enjoyed working with Holly, and we were absolutely thrilled with how beautiful our photos turned out. I’m so happy we chose Holly to help capture our wedding day, and would hire her again in a heartbeat.

I would give Holly 10 stars if I could. Holly did an amazing job with our wedding photos. She is so kind, enthusiastic, and easy to communicate with. I’m not one who does a lot of photography sessions, but she made everything feel natural. She was helpful with planning our timeline and ensuring we had time to capture all the shots we wanted. She brought the BEST energy to the wedding itself- I’m so grateful she was there that day. She really captured the spirit of our big day and all of our loved ones. All of our photos turned out wonderful. We’ve received so many complements. She was able to edit them in under 3 weeks, which is unheard of. I can’t recommend Holly enough. It’s so important to work with people you trust for your wedding, and Holly is that person.

Holly is wildly talented and clearly loves her work! She captured such special moments from our initiate wedding ceremony and fully embraced the artistic vibe I was after. Looking back at our photos, I’m mesmerized by how well everything came together and how the natural landscape shines through.
Not only is Holly an excellent photographer, she’s also a good human being and a pleasure to work with. Multiple guests commented afterwards how fantastic she was at putting them at ease.
On your special day, you want everything to go smoothly and Holly delivered in spades. She arrived at the site shortly before we did, was communicative throughout the process, and sent us sneak peeks of the photos in no time. We would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Holly's website is very thorough when it comes to explaining her vision, which I found very reassuring. She was fantastic to work with in person, too! She has a great sense of humor and made the pictures much less taxing than I was expecting. She made sure to capture every moment we wanted and even more! Our guests also really enjoyed her presence! She was especially great working with the kids in the wedding party and the difficult family members. I strongly recommend her!

When I tell you this woman's talent and eye are absolute perfection, I mean it. Not only is so SO EASY and comforting to work with, her shots are phenomenal! She is attentive, punctual, soothing and gets along with everyone.
I went a little outside of the norm and hired her in addition to another photographer/videographer. This was a new experience for her which now looking back was unnecessary. One would have been enough. She worked professionally with the other photographer and videographer.
Her prices are amazing and she is there for you every step of the way. **Do not skip the golden hour shots. They come out AMAZING!!! Thank you Holly for making this extremely special, nerve-wracking occasion come out so memorable. đź’–đź’–

Holly was a dream come true to work with! Her photos came out so beautifu! All the guests loved them. She has incredible energy and she is so fun to work with. Her process and website is very professional. The pictures were ready days after the wedding. The quality was fantastic. Our photos in the vineyard during sunset looked like they were out of a magazine. I highly recommend working with Holly for your wedding!

I can’t begin to explain how grateful I was to have Holly as our wedding photographer. We booked her to take our engagement photos, to capture getting ready photos, and wedding photos on the day of our wedding. All the photos turned out INCREDIBLE. She has a way of capturing the natural beauty of a moment and backdrop that creates a stunning and organic photos. Neither my husband nor I are particularly comfortable in front of the lens, so we were nervous going into our photos. However, Holly made us feel like we have known her forever. She made us laugh, interact, and pose in ways that were natural to us which made our personalities shine through in the moments she captured. Her infectious personality carried over into the wedding where she was efficient and personable and made our guests and family feel comfortable. I can’t imagine better photos captured of our day. From engagement to wedding, I was lucky to have Holly there capturing all the moments we didn’t want to forget and I will continue to use her in the future.

Words cannot describe how amazing Holly is! She made our wedding truly a night to remember. Her photos are gorgeous and demeanor fun but the true thing that set her apart from the rest was her ability to be our friend, confidant and right hand! She is utterly professional and takes any tension out of the day. From the engagement photos to the wedding- the whole process was so amazing! I would happily use her for any future event in my life! You won’t regret signing her on to your next event!!

Holly was amazing! She was professional and communicative during booking and really upbeat and fun during our wedding. I especially liked how well she worked with the kids during the family photos. She even went above and beyond for me afterwards and edited a few custom shots for me. I would highly recommend her services.

From a local wedding coordinator's perspective, Holly is a true pro! She is kind, patient, flexible, and super responsive during the planning process. She's on my list of trusted recommendations for newly engaged couples! I have loved all the galleries I've received following weddings (super quick turnover too!) Love working with Holly and you will too!

We contract Holly B for our wedding photos. Our experience with her was beyond perfect. She is incredibly professional at the same time than warm and friendly. She is funny and has a beautiful energy and this helps a lot for those who are shy in front of a camera (like us).
My family doesn't speak any English and she doesn't speak Spanish but she made herself understand for my family portraits. This reflects a lot of patience from her hahah. This brought some funny moments but the pictures turned out beautiful.
We didn't have a party and our style was more "casual photos". We thought we didn't want golden hour pictures but she insisted that it would be nice, we said OK! We missed the golden hour because one of the our toast was longer than expected, but that was okay with us. We did "blue hour" pictures and we were just around 10-15 minutes away from our guests and we are sooo glad to have these pictures now!
She came with Ashley. She also was a beautiful person, really sweet and professional.
We are really grateful for their work and art!
Our wedding was Saturday evening and Monday evening we received our sneak peak. There were a looooot of pictures, more than expected, and we still had more coming. We received the rest around 10 days after!
So grateful and so happy.

Absolutely worth it! Holly was amazing!!!! I can't recommend her enough. She was professional yet laid back and fun. In stressful moments she made sure to give me space. But her and Lauren managed to capture moments I wasn't even aware of. I loved both of their styles. It provided me with such a diverse group of pictures, and yet their styles complement each other really well. My advice is to take the leap and do the package that includes her and Lauren for your wedding and other events. You will not be disappointed!

Holly sent us a questionnaire to assess our photography needs, kept up communication, and was flexible with any last-minute changes we had. She exudes warmth and charisma that helped my husband and I feel comfortable on our big day! She combines technical expertise with creativity to capture those special memories. I highly recommend Holly to anyone seeking a photographer who will take incredible photos that will capture the essence of your celebration!

Holly photographed our wedding in late April and was everything we could have asked for. I didn't want the full event photographed but wanted family shots, bride/groom portraits, friends, and the venue. She delivered and then some! She worked with our timeline, communicated efficiently, and was a joy to work with throughout. Not to mention, the pictures are beautiful. Couldn't recommend more!

Holly was wonderful!! Just who you want if you're in North Bay and you want to work with someone with great value for the money. Holly is kind, accommodating, understanding, and gives great suggestions for shots while also being sure to get anything you would like or is meaningful to you. She made us really comfortable (and we can be quiet people who are not used to taking photos). She was easy to reschedule with when there was rain, and again when we were sick. She delivered the photos in record time, within the week! So easy to download and have and share for anything. Would highly recommend!

Holly was incredible! She seamlessly worked her way around our family and everyone enjoyed her presence. Her expertise and creative ideas shined bright in our photos. We loved the classic approach to composition and editing. You can easily get lost in a sea of trendy filters, poses and editing styles that will definitely cost you - Holly's philosophy supports classic and timeless photos that won't ever go out of style at a great price point. 10/10 would recommend Holly B.

Holly B. was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was extremely accommodating with our budget while making sure we got the photos we wanted. I really appreciated her calming presence. I was a total stress ball the morning of our wedding, but when she arrived I somehow felt like everything was going to go smoothly. None of my anxiety came through in the photos & we had an absolutely beautiful wedding. All of the photos came out gorgeous. I highly recommend the lovely Holly B!

Holly was fantastic!
She completely understood my vision of the photos we wanted for our wedding. She was not only a amazingly talented photographer but all the guests raved about her fun out going personality. She made guests ( and my now husband ) who don't love to be photographed feel comfortable and relaxed. Capturing amazing candid and posed photos.
Love her. We have also used Holly for family portraits - I have a 13 year old and we all know how teens can be. Again Holly won her over and created a space and captured our family.
Hire Holly for your next event, family session, wedding or anything you photography related you will not be disappointed
Cheers,
Karly

Working with Holly is such a joy, if you can book her for your wedding you won't regret it!! She has such an amazing energy, my family continues to compliment her even a month later. Her pricing is incredibly fair for her quality of work and turnaround time. You can tell that she absolutely loves what she does and that love comes across in her actions and photos. I'd gladly book her again! đź’—

Holly is AMAZING! I don't have enough words to describe how happy I am with our wedding photos. From the very beginning we knew we were in the best of hands. We had great communication, she's extremely organized, and the photos came out so beautifully. The difficult part is deciding between them as we have so many favorites. I would recommend Holly B Rose Photography in a heartbeat. Not only did she capture so many great moments with such creative talent but her natural demeanor was so reassuring as my nerves were already running high on our big day. It was so helpful to hire a second shooter too as we were then able to capture our friends during our family shoot. Lastly, it was awesome to get all of our images and not be pressured into purchasing certain ones, prints, etc. She was certainly one of our favorite vendors, hands down. Don't wait . . . hire her NOW. She will book up before you know it and I guarantee you will be thrilled with your wedding day photos from Holly.

Holly came highly recommended by multiple people we knew, and we were lucky enough to get her for our wedding. Everything about working with Holly was great. Communication was easy, she understood our vision and was able to deliver exactly what we were hoping to get from our wedding photos. She gave great direction and made my husband and I feel totally at ease in front of the camera. She also really came through when it was time to do wedding party/family photos. I was amazed at how she was able to herd cats like a total pro, getting kids to look into the camera and keeping "that one uncle" from slipping away back to the appetizer table. The photos came back quickly and we were blown away by not only the quality, but how she was able to expertly capture the entire vibe of our wedding day. Thank you Holly!

Holly is a fantastic photographer and an absolute joy to work with and be around. She brings so much integrity into her work and really cares about your experience, making sure she knows what you hope to capture, which is not something every photographer does. You'll immediately feel that you can trust her with the special responsibility of shooting your big day. In addition to providing plentiful photography packages and options, she is professional, prompt, and carries with her a remarkable sense of warmth, playfulness, and confidence- perfect for corralling large families or kids for amazing portraits. Tons of our guests commented on how much they liked her and felt comfortable having their picture taken as a result. From the busy bodies to the quiet sweet moments with my now husband to all the little details, she was there capturing it all. Our photos turned out beautifully, and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much, Holly!!

Holly B Rose is AMAZING! Her photos are beautiful and capture much more than just us two. She was super helpful recommending local vendors and working with us on our timeline and her prices are so reasonable! She is fun, communicative, and professional. She made us both feel comfortable and took the time to learn about us as a couple and how to make us laugh and relax in photos. I recommend doing engagement photos with her too, it was great to meet her in person before the wedding day. I can’t recommend Holly enough. We are so happy with our wedding + engagement photos and the overall experience she created!

If you are looking for someone to capture a special time in your life then look no further! Holly photographed a friends wedding, and after seeing how amazing those pictures came out I couldn’t wait to hire her! Holly shot my maternity and in home newborn pictures and both the experience and end result are more than I could have dreamed of! Holly is so kind and really makes the whole process so easy and fun. I am not a big fan of pictures of myself, but have never felt more beautiful than in the pictures she takes. She provided us with the most perfect set of photos to document these special times and I can’t wait for our next session with her (which we already scheduled!) She is organized, punctual, and had the photos out to us so fast! We thank her so much for a priceless treasure that we can look back on forever!

I reached out to Holly only a month before my wedding and she graciously was able to squeeze us in for our intimate wedding in Sonoma County. Holly was wonderful to work with. She has what it takes to keep the family photos together and organized and makes sure you don’t miss a shot from your pre-requested shot list!! She captured a beautiful day and evening and I can’t wait to work with her again!
