FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR WEDDING?

Yes. Most of our travel is between Massachusetts, Rhode Island and the rest of New England (shout out to New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and Connecticut!). However, we love new adventures and would be happy to join you anywhere on the map to document your special day. HOLP has photographed in NYC, Philadelphia, Mexico and Portugal, and hope to expand that destination list so send us a message.

WHY DO YOU INCLUDE AN ENGAGEMENT SESSION IN ALL YOUR COLLECTIONS?

Engagements sessions are more than just an opportunity to get photos to use on stationery or to display at your wedding. We use them as a couple of hours to hang out, get to know each other, observe you together and get you out of your comfort zone. We want to get you warmed up and ready for your wedding day so we don't take up too much of your day with photos and let you get to your party quicker. 

HOW MANY WEDDINGS HAVE YOU PHOTOGRAPHED?

Today was a fun day to come up with this number! As of March, we have photographed over 150 weddings! Let’s assume every wedding had an average guest list of 150 people (sometimes more, often less), that means that we have celebrated with over 20,000 people the marriages of these wonderful couples.

WHAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?

We both use the latest in Nikon professional DSLR bodies, a variety of lenses as well as external lighting to create dimension. Film coverage is available, and is shot on both Nikon and Pentax camera bodies. And super cool camera harnesses.

HOW MANY PHOTOS SHOULD WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE?

The number of images received is variable, based on a number of different things, like size of bridal party, size of guest list, weather, venue flexibility, etc. However, we always, always document your day from the moment we get there until the moment we leave and strive to get you images from every moment, whether you remember it happening or not. Our average is 600-800 images per wedding, with some receiving a little less, and some receiving more. 

HOW WILL WE RECEIVE OUR FINAL IMAGES?

All of our clients receive their images through an online gallery for easy viewing, sharing with family and friends and downloading. Portrait sessions take about 3 weeks to be processed and weddings can take up to 8 to 12 weeks, and often longer during busy season. We pour our love and energy into every photo. It’s worth the wait!

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY DOCUMENTARY FILM?

Our documentary films can take up to 6-9 months to produce, but we aim to get them to you much sooner! Please refer to your dedicated timeline.

WHAT IS YOUR "STYLE"?

Our style is rooted in "moments" based photojournalism and heavily influenced by fine art photography, capturing natural, organic moments as they happen. Our imagery is fun, clean, bright, timeless, luxurious and emotionally captivating. It's not always the big picture that takes a lot of planning and time to execute that will be your favorite. It's usually a number of the smaller, less pivotal moments that tell the story that will speak to you on a deeper level. (Mike is the king of the candid moment — it may have something to do with his ninja-like qualities.)

HOW DO WE BOOK YOU FOR OUR WEDDING?

Once you have a date set, we can move forward with booking. To reserve your day, we require a signed contract and retainer. Shoot us a message to get started! 

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE NOT AVAILABLE?

We are often booked for a date before some couples have a chance to reach out about their wedding day - fear not! You can still book HOLP. We have a team of outstanding photographers at the ready to stand in our place on your wedding day and capture amazing images. We have galleries of their work at weddings to share with you, from start to finish to share with anyone who inquires about a date that we’re not available. Shanna still does all the editing, so you get that signature HOLP look with photographers that know and love our style.

WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE TO KNOW?

Mike is always in a suit. I'm always in a dress or in equally fabulous attire. We want to blend in with your guests as much as possible and become a part of the background. We keep our gear on us, and avoid any bulky, attention getting equipment. We enjoy hors d'oeuvres and base our favorite venues on their quality of finger foods. And cake. We really love cake (and donuts.) A Shirley Temple is a treat for Shanna and Mike likes to laugh at her dance moves while taking photos.
