Champaign and Urbana wedding photographer | Holly Birch Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hey! Thanks for coming to my blog! If you're here as a bride or groom, I hope you like what you see. I'd love to meet with you in person to talk about your wedding day and how I can help you. I love photographing weddings and hope that shows in my work!

    Things I love: the Illini, the color orange, lobsters, my husband, my son, weddings, my Nikon D700, socks, my dogs, Johnny Cash, American Idol, my iMac, The Sound of Music, Hereford cattle, a pair of good-fitting jeans, the Food Network, & macaroni and cheese (and my Grandma Hazel wants me to add her in here too).

    Scroll down to view images from recent weddings and sessions! Also, be sure to "like" my Facebook page to keep up with announcements & specials!

Hey blog readers! I know many people read my photo posts over here, and many others also ready my Facebook fan page posts, so I’m trying to close the gap a bit. If you are reading this, would you please “like” Holly Birch Photography on Facebook? As a fan, you’ll get more up-to-date announcements, sales, and just day-to-day tidbits of information (in fact, there’s a sale going on there right now!). Thanks so much!

Here’s a photo from my most recent engagement session which I will hopefully be finishing and posting in the next couple of days.

Wedding album proofs | Champaign iHotel wedding photography

I just finished up Adrienne + Kevin’s wedding album proofs, and I thought I’d post some page samples for my blog readers.:)I really love the way the images from this nighttime winter wedding turned out, and I’m even happier to add their album as a sample to my collection for wedding consultations. Adrienne + Kevin’s album will be a 12×12″ 24-page album with a black cover (though they’re considering match their wedding colors of navy and champagne) and a square metal cameo on the front. It’s going to be gorgeous!

Urbana Business Association headshots | Downtown Urbana

I had the privilege of photographing the staff of the Urbana Business Association this winter. And although Katie is leaving at the end of the month, I’m excited for future opportunties to work with the staff there. Thanks Cynthia, Katie & Cody!

These photos were taken at CU Studio Share.

Ainsley + Tim | St. Matthews Champaign wedding photographer

I had the privilege of second shooting a wedding on Jan. 14 with Nashville photographer Meishach Moore. The wedding and reception were held at St. Matthews Catholic Church in Champaign, and we went to the University of Illinois quad, Smith Hall and the Union for some photos in between the two. Here are some of my favorite images!

Elegant Bridal Expo | Champaign-Urbana wedding photography

I want to give out a big shout-out and hello to all the brides who came out to the Elegant Bridal Expo today! I got to meet many of you, but some I know I didn’t, but I would still love to hear from you if not! I still have some remaining 2012 dates available, and plenty left in 2013. Just shoot me an email or call me anytime (217-737-0971) if you have questions — we’d love to get you into the studio for a consultation too if you want to chat in person.

Also, don’t forget about the Bridal Bucks special! You can redeem your Bridal Bucks at Holly Birch Photography for up to 10% off your wedding package (packages 1-3 only). The Bucks are valid for a month, but my packages will be changing some starting next Sunday. To book a date, I need a $500 deposit and signed contract.

I will also have a BOUDOIR SPECIAL starting on Saturday 1/15. Be sure to check back for that! It would make a great Valentine’s day or wedding gift!

I can’t wait to hear from several of you that I talked to today! I hope that we can set up a meeting and get you on the books!

THANK YOU!! -Holly:)
And here’s a look at our booth in case you missed it… we love the way it turned out!
