Lena is an amazing photographer to work with. She was responsive and will icing to meet at our desired location for the shoot ( it was a little beach walk). Lena was very positive and her work is impeccable. She photographed our family and dog which was amazing. We will cherish these photos for ever. I highly recommend her.

Lena and Neil were amazing! I was concerned about lighting for an outdoor wedding and Lena send me examples and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. She made sure our vision was met and was so easy and stress free to work with. Highly recommend booking for any occasion, they are a great team!

Lena was amazing! She took photos of me & my family, and we were beyond happy with what she did! I was traveling from Canada, and she was very responsive with communication and helpful with ideas. Very pleased with her photography!

Our experience with Have and To Hold exceeded every expectation and more! They did both photography and videography for our wedding on 7/11 and offered flexible packages and prices depending on our needs. The whole experience was so well catered to us. They truly made us feel like we were their #1 priority and communicated very well in the months leeding up the wedding and after. The quality of our photos and videos were phenominal and were delivered in a very timely manner. We are so lucky to have found such great people to work with and capture all the special moments of our amazing day that we'll get to relive FOREVER! Thank you so much for your whole-hearted, genuine committment to capturing our love story so beautifully. We will be using them for all of our photography needs as our family grows.

Selena was amazing! She was super flexible and was willing to work with my budget. The process was easy and user friendly. The Pinterest board she created it for us was super helpful too. She even showed up early and take extra pictures for us. The photos turns out absolutely gorgeous!! Love love love

Selena and Niel were so awesome to work with! Both were very nice and accommodating to our requests. We recently received our pictures and video, and Wow! The quality of both is just amazing! If you're thinking of skipping the video, don't! Pictures are great, but if you really want to relive the day, you won't be disappointed with the video! I cry every single time I watch it! Thank you Selena and Niel for your amazing work! We can't thank you enough!

Awesome! Just awesome! I wanted my wedding to be easy, relaxed, and stress free. She fit into this seamlessly. My photos came out great it was well worth the money!

To Have and To Hold Photography was amazing! Our videographer cancelled on us before our wedding THREE days before and I was in a panic! I reached out and she was very responsive and able to do my wedding on such short notice! By far, the video we received exceeded every expectation of mine! We had told her how we envisioned the short highlight film and she did exactly how we wanted. We almost didn't go with having a videographer and I'm so happy we did! So glad to have these memories to cherish. Also, her return time was great - we got our video while still on our honeymoon! The video quality was very high quality as well.

HATH / Selena was amazing. She did my engagement party shoot at the Botanic Gardens and turned the photos around in less than a week! All the shots were beautiful, capturing every moment of the event. She was flexible with us (I was late as usual), she had her recommendations as well as listened to our wants and needs. She even did a small video clip that I absolutely loved!! She is professional, quick and efficient, and just overall lovely to work with. I definetly be recommending her to my friends and family for all local events. Highly recommended.

Selena and Neil were very professional. They arrived early, were sympathetic to our needs (they videoed a funeral for us) and weren’t in the way or distracting at all. The video quality was a bit disappointing. They professionally edited it and that wasn’t a problem but some of the video was a bit blurry and had focusing issues and the video was shaky at times even when on the tripod. It also seemed to have a blueish cast to the video in parts. I think for the price we paid we received a good product but it wasn’t quite as smooth or refined as we had hoped it would be.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Have and To Hold Photography. From the very start, Neil was meticulous in his attention to detail, making sure that he had all of the various elements of our event. We received the digital images just a few days after the event concluded, which made our attendees very happy as well. We were so happy with the service, we hired the company to capture the memories for another event as well. Highly recommended!!
