She's patient and knows exactly when to pause, creating a calm and enjoyable experience. Samantha works so well with kids that my daughter often asks, "When are we going to see Miss Sam again?"

She showed up with very short notice and gave us the most amazing photos. She is the sweetest and most down to earth woman you will ever meet. She treats you like family from the moment you meet her.

I would recommend her to anyone looking for quality work.

He was more than happy to work with us and gave us a lot of confidence that he was the right pick. Kevin was friendly and flexible throughout the entire process. My, now wife, and I didn't want a stressful photography schedule for our wedding as we wanted to actually enjoy our wedding. Kevin came in and gave us exactly what we wanted. Easy going, friendly, and a damn good photographer! When taking photos Kevin really captured us, and that's what we wanted. We were able to get a sneak peek at some of the pictures and we are thankful that we will have these beautiful pics to remind us of that special day. Thank you Kevin for capturing our special day and being a part of it!

When we initially began searching for vendors for our wedding, I came across Holding & Co Photography here on WeddingWire. As I continued my search, I kept comparing every other photographer's pictures to the images captured by Julia and Kevin. I knew that I would not be happy if we settled with anyone else, and I'm glad I listened to my gut! Julia and Kevin have an innate ability to capture beauty, light, and emotion with their cameras in such an artistic way that it's as if every picture could be printed in a magazine. I have gotten so many people telling me that our photos are the best wedding photos they've ever seen. Not only are Kevin and Julia true artists, but they are incredible people as well. With COVID and CA wildfires, not only was our original wedding plan changed, but our second, third, and fourth plans were as well. The Holdings were there for us through every obstacle that came in our way with supportive words and promises that they would make it work no matter where we got married. Choosing Holding & Co Photography was the #1 best decision that we made regarding our wedding. The images that Julia and Kevin captured on our wedding day and our subsequent post-wedding adventure shoot will be with us for our lifetimes and will always remind of us the incredible people who were there to make our day memorable. You will not be disappointed in hiring them to document your day.

A Truly Exceptional Photographer -- Jamie Lee We had the…read moreabsolute pleasure of working with Jamie Lee for both our Catholic wedding ceremony and our secular ceremony plus reception the next day. We could not be more grateful for the experience he gave us. From the very beginning, Jamie made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, something neither of us expected being. His friendly, calm presence set the tone for the entire day, and we never once felt rushed or overly posed. Everything felt natural, effortless, and genuinely "us." Jamie has an incredible eye for capturing moments that are not only beautiful and meaningful but artistically composed. He combines technical expertise with thoughtful preparation, ensuring he captures the best possible shots in any setting, indoors or out while never compromising our comfort and making sure we simply enjoy the experience of the day(s). He has this remarkable ability to blend into the background while still catching every important detail and in a beautiful, photogenic way. He was flexible, extremely punctual, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. His turnaround time on editing and delivering our gallery was impressively fast, yet he never sacrificed quality. We were especially grateful for how respectful and mindful he was of the church and its religious boundaries. He navigated everything with such professionalism, patience, and care. Even after a long day, his attitude never wavered. He remained positive, helpful, and fully committed to getting the perfect shot. Jamie never felt invasive or overstepping; instead, he felt like a trusted partner who truly understood our vision. He worked so seamlessly with us and our families (and dog too!) that it felt like he had been part of our journey all along. We cannot wait to continue working with him in the future. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, kind, reliable, and genuinely invested in making your most important moments unforgettable, Jamie Lee is the one.

Jamie was very communicative throughout the process and easy to work with. We had him take photos for our engagement shoot and for our wedding day. The product for both was spectacular. We love his style, which matches his professionalism and even elevates the scenes from your wedding day. We had a great engagement shoot with Jamie, which gave us confidence that he would be the perfect photographer to work with for our wedding. We did a couple nearby locations for our engagement shoot, which let us get beautiful photos and see how Jamie worked. He was very calm, professional, and enjoyable to be around the entire time. He has a great eye for what poses and backgrounds will make a good photo. After a photo shoot, Jamie works extremely hard and fast to get your photos to you. He had a private online gallery of all our photos edited and ready for us to view the next day after our engagement shoot! The speed was incredible, and it was great to be able to see our photos so soon. Leading up to the wedding, Jamie worked with us and with our coordinator to map out his photography timeline for the day. He gave valuable input from his past wedding experience, and he listened to what shots we wanted to get for our wedding. We felt relaxed knowing that he had a plan for the entire day of photos. On the wedding day, he worked tirelessly over 12 hours to capture every single moment in detail throughout our wedding day. Every picture was perfect. It's a difficult feat to maintain high quality and stay that focused every single second of the day, but Jamie managed it extremely well. He brought an assistant photographer to help capture other shots and angles as well. Jamie worked great with our videographer and coordinator throughout the day of the wedding. These vendors are around you all day, so you want a good group. Jamie was fun to be around and really added to our day as well. After the wedding, Jamie was again extremely fast in preparing our photos. He prepared our online gallery again within days with all our wedding photos (1500+). They were all stunning! Additionally, he put together a slideshow of the best photos with music in the background, which provided a great recap of the day. Jamie worked with us to prepare our wedding album, and he was very communicative throughout that process as well. He gave us a great starting point and allowed us to comment and make changes on which photos and layouts we preferred from our gallery to be in the album. Jamie is the best photographer and a joy to work with. We're so happy that we had him as our wedding photographer, and you will be too!

From the very beginning, Meg was our point of contact. She was very professional and incredibly quick to respond to any questions we had. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Every question we had was answered quickly and clearly, which made planning so much less stressful. Our lead photographer was Kevin. We met at our engagement shoot where he made us feel completely comfortable (we can be quite awkward!). The engagement photos came out beautiful and people loved our save-the-date photos! The wedding day was super hectic but Kevin was super PRO with handling the chaos. Dan was also great as our second photographer -he is always smiley! They were calm, reassuring, and knew exactly what they were doing. The photos are absolutely stunning, beautiful, light and airy. The lighting, composition, and attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again, from the big moments to the small candid ones we didn't even realize were happening. We cannot recommend them enough!

Once we met our photographer Jenna, we felt the same way. Jenna was an absolute pleasure to work with and she was so patient, kind, and funny! We're clueless with poses, but with her personality she made our photoshoot experience enjoyable and not awkward at all (first look/couple portraits, family and wedding party portraits). She gave professional advice throughout the day and followed our timeline as well as requests for specific shots. Our photos came back within the quoted time frame of 6-8 weeks and they are amazing. We're thankful for Jenna capturing special moments and highly recommend her and the KLV team!

If you want to re-live your big day over and over again years later, James is your guy! My wife and I had never done a professional photoshoot. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera. After interviewing 5 different photographers, we knew from our first conversation that James was the one. He is incredibly friendly, easy going, and knowledgeable. We agreed to do an engagement session, 1 location for 90mins to see if we'd be comfortable working with James. It couldn't have gone better. Initially, we were a bit stiff, but James gave us tips on how to act naturally, suggested poses and hand positions that made us feel and look relaxed. The time flew by and we actually ended up going to a second location with a wardrobe change. Overall, it was about 2 hours. James did not mind at all. In fact, he probably could've gone longer if the sun hadn't set on us! Our photos were edited and received in less than 2 weeks! James was kind enough to print a large poster and sign that shipped to our house in just a few days. He price matched any package/prints from other photographers. Having gone through our engagement session seamlessly, we hired James to shoot our wedding as well. He and an assistant were on site for 10 hours, tending to our every need and keeping us on our timeline. After our planned family/wedding party photos, we hardly even noticed them working as we proceeded with wedding events. After the wedding, we received many compliments on how great James was and several guests asked for his contact information. Within a couple of days, we received a preview of about 20 photos highlighting our big day. We were thrilled! Every important moment was captured so elegantly! The full magazine of photos was available for download in about 1 month. James then worked with us to print a high quality photo book for our coffee table. You can't go wrong with James--his high quality work and work ethic speak for themselves. There is no substitute for how easy and stress free he made us feel, so that we could truly enjoy ourselves knowing that he would capture every single moment candidly. Do not hesitate to hire James, it will be the best decision you will ever make.

From our first communication, he was extremely professional, flexible, and kind, always making sure he understood what I wanted and adapting to each location, timeline, and change with ease. He photographed both ceremonies with incredible attention to detail -- from candid moments of me with my husband, family, and friends, to emotional highlights like walking across the stage, and even the quiet, heartfelt moments in between. His eye for storytelling brought every part of the day to life. James made everyone feel comfortable, and his warm presence truly added to the celebration. He treated both graduations with care and dedication, and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to help preserve these milestones. If you're looking for someone reliable, talented, and genuinely passionate about their work -- James is the one. Thank you again for capturing these beautiful memories that my loved ones and I will treasure forever!
