About Holly Castillo Photography

Holly Castillo Photography

Film and Digital California Wedding Photographer

I am a California-based wedding photographer specializing in hybrid 35mm film and digital coverage for couples who value authentic, emotional storytelling. With over 10 years of experience, I takes a documentary approach—focusing on real moments, natural movement, and timeless imagery. Based in California, I offer fully customizable, a la carte collections including full-day wedding coverage, intimate elopements, engagement sessions, additional photographers, and optional Super 8 films. My work is ideal for laid-back, intentional couples drawn to the texture and nostalgia of film with the reliability of digital.

I'm a very "go with the flow" photographer in terms of posing. I don't believe in forcing couples into situations that they aren't comfortable with. If you do have some specifics in mind we will do it, but if not, I'm happy to direct you and let your natural love and happiness shine through. I work a lot with the scenery and atmosphere of your venue to find the best places for photos, and I do a mix of editorial posing and freer prompt-based directions so you can really focus on each other and be in the moment rather than be micromanaged. I am a lover of candids and nostalgic film vibes, and base my work off of point and shoot 90's film.

    An All-in-One Star!

    We booked Holly for Digital Film Super 8 for 2 hours for our courthouse ceremony and family pics before. She was without a doubt the best price for everything she offers and knocked it out of the park. We were blown away by her film scans and she captured the day so perfectly with the Super 8 footage. I don't know how she did it all! She was super flexible, accommodating as our party ran a few late, and overall had a really chill vibe to what could be a stressful day!

    Best experience!

    My fiance and I just received our engagement/family photos from Holly and we are so so happy with how they turned out! Holly made us immediately feel comfortable upon meeting her and made our photoshoot experience better than we could have imagined! She will also be our wedding day photographer and we could not be more excited and put at ease knowing she will capture all of the moments we have and more! Could not recommend Holly more!

    She is a delight to work with. My team loves her.

    I’ve had the pleasure of working with Holly on a couple of weddings, and it is always such a delight! As a wedding planner, I truly appreciate vendors like her...reliable, responsible, professional, and always bringing such a calm and positive energy to the wedding day. She helps everything flow so smoothly for both the couple and the entire vendor team. Her photography style is absolutely stunning... timeless, nostalgic film-inspired imagery that feels both romantic and effortlessly editorial. That classic film look is so popular right now, and Holly captures it beautifully while still making every gallery feel authentic, emotional, and unique to each couple. She has such an incredible eye for detail and captures all those meaningful in-between moments so naturally. Holly is experienced, organized, easy to collaborate with, and truly wonderful to work alongside. Couples are absolutely in amazing hands with her!

    The best wedding gift I ever gave

    I hired Holly as a gift to my sister for her wedding and I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! From the start, she was responsive, clear and proactive — exactly what you want when you’re coordinating something this important. Also, what my sister wanted was quite specific: hybrid digital and film coverage, and a mix of candid and posed portraits. Holly handled all of it without missing a beat. She came to the wedding completely prepared, and on the day itself she was so easygoing that she just blended in — you forgot she was working. That relaxed energy made such a difference, especially for the family portraits where you’re trying to wrangle everyone together. The sneak peeks came through and genuinely made my whole family emotional. The film shots in particular are stunning. There’s a natural warmth to her work that you can’t fake. I would recommend Holly to anyone planning a wedding or special occasion without hesitation! If you’re looking for someone who’s talented, professional, easy to be around and clearly loves what she does — she’s your person!

    Beyond Iconic

    Holly was the best investment of my entire wedding. She not only delivered incredible engagement photos but the most magical wedding photos I could have ever hoped for - and I’ve only seen the sneak peeks! Her editing skills are also so precise and iconic - I love all the photos and she nailed the photos of my and my fiancee, which was my priority. Her energy is also so down to earth and relaxed which made me and my fiancé feel at ease with the photos. I look forward to having another party just so I can hire her again :)

Real wedding inspiration featuring Holly Castillo Photography

Show all photos
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. I do offer a sneak peek gallery around 1-2 weeks after your wedding as well.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. All images are edited in the style you see on my portfolio and website.
As soon as you know what your definite date is I would recommend reaching out. I book on a first come first serve basis. Most couples book between 6-9 months out.
In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
I am a true hybrid photographer. I use film throughout your wedding day not just as a highlight. You will receive film and digital images and can add more film if desired.
