Meet Tabatha, owner and lead photographer of Hollenbeck's Photography. Hollenbeck's Photography is a veteran and woman owned photography business that was established in 2013, specializing in weddings, elopements, and destination weddings. What started out as a hobby turned into much more....
"Photography has given me the pleasure of capturing the emotions and relationships in such a unique beautiful way. It allows me to connect with my couples and get to know how to help them make their day go by more smoothly. I enjoy helping you create an authentic interpretation of your wedding day by documenting the emotions and details that capture who you are, and your love for one another. I also love adventures so no destination is too far to capture your story!"
Just Something About a Love Connection..
Tabatha began her passion for photography a decade ago with a simple Kodak camera. While Tabatha loves to photograph all kinds of subjects, she is particularly drawn towards weddings and elopements. As she says "There is just something about that love connection that is unforgettable and seeing the emotion that a couple have for one another throughout that day." When she isn't behind the camera, you can find her expanding her craft through both independent study and also mentorship from her fellow photographers to keep her skills sharp.
What Makes Hollenbeck's Photography Different?
"When you book with Hollenbeck's Photography I like to take the time to get to know my couples to better serve their photography needs and preferences. I know that each wedding and elopement is unique so each one is customized based on the couples style and preference. Getting to know my couples through various consultations and questionnaires allows me to make every couples photography dreams come true. I pay close attention to important wedding details; not limited to lighting, poses and setting. You would not think that hand placement or spacing between people would affect the outcome of a photo but it makes a huge difference. This is actually the most important and what sets me apart from other photographers. During a wedding I do not just take posed photos in fact those are mainly for family formals and maybe a few bridal portraits. I personally prefer more in the moment candid photos and most of my couples also prefer this. This ensures the photos capture and represent their most natural selves. I work to create a comfortable and relaxed environment for couples. Who wants to be stressed out on their wedding day when it is supposed to be a day of enjoyment especially for the bride and groom."
What does Hollenbeck's Photography Offer?
Hollenbeck's Photography offers a range of packages for elopements and weddings that are customizable to suit various budgets and needs.
