"I just want to be friends. Plus, a little extra. Also, I love you." Dwight Schrute

i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
-E.E. Cummings
I’m Holly Castillo—a film and digital photographer with over 10 years of experience in the wedding industry. I'm a wife, a mom of three, and a storyteller at heart.
As a documentary-focused wedding photographer, I search for the fleeting moments that standard shot lists overlook: the quiet details that you spent months planning, the stolen glances, the raw emotion of your family and friends, and everything in between.
With 12 years of marriage under my belt, I know firsthand how photographs appreciate in value over time. I practice what I preach—my own home is filled with photos from all aspects of my life- especially my wedding day.
My goal is to make sure that you feel completely at ease. I guide you seamlessly when needed, then step back to let your day unfold naturally. I don't rely on forced posing, and I never view my couples as props to pad a portfolio. I am here to genuinely help you, capture fleeting joy, and deliver an elevated, timeless document of your real story.
