• Words just don’t do any justice when it comes to Hilary’s photography! She went above and beyond for our engagement session, bridal portrait, and wedding day! Her attitude is always thoughtful, cheery, and uplifting. She makes you feel so at ease in front of the camera. She was early for every meeting and stayed as long as needed. Her professionalism outshines all of the rest. Her photography is outstanding. We truly do love EVERY single picture she took throughout the entire process. She captured so many special moments, and we couldn’t thank her enough. If you want dreamy wedding pictures that you’ll swoon over forever, Hilary is your girl! Trust me, you will not be disappointed.~Chessica

• I would highly recommend Hilary for your wedding or event. I was so comfortable knowing she was in charge of the photography for our wedding. She was very organized and had everything planned out so I didn’t have to think about it. The photos turned out amazing. She captured every important moment. She was also flexible and stayed later than we originally thought to capture our send off! ~Kate

• Hilary was our wedding photographer last September. She captured the moments perfectly! Very nice easy going personality. She is now our family photographer. I highly recommend Joyful Hearts Photography to anyone for all occasions. ~ Deborah

• My experience with Hilary was amazing. She was wonderful and took gorgeous photographs. My husband does not like to take pictures but Hilary even helped to put him at ease and get the best shots. I have already recommended her services to a couple friends who are getting married this year. We are currently pregnant and most likely will be using her again in the very near future. ~Jessica

• Hilary is simply amazing! She not only did an amazing job with my wedding portraits, but she captured every single moment we had planned! Our pictures turned out amazing and we got them back quickly! Everyone was quite impressed with Hilary. I received complements from family members and friends about her! They all said she “knew what she was doing”. My pictures are beautiful, and she captured every moment, even ones that I didn’t know happened! She spend time with me while I was getting ready, spent time with my bridesmaids, and spent time with the groom and his groomsmen! I could not have asked for a better photographer! I am the happiest bride!!! I would recommend Hilary to any bride who is planning her wedding! You will get the quality you want/expect from a photographer and you will get your pictures fairly quick! I can’t wait to book Hilary for every single exciting event in the future (pregnancy, new born, anniversary, ect.) Thank again Hilary!!!!!! YOUR AMAZING!~Amy
