About · Founder-led · Illinois
Matthew & Marcus Holley
We're brothers and Illinois-based visual creatives with 15 years behind the camera between us. What started as one of us shooting for fun in his early twenties became a shared practice: commercial and brand photography, aerial work, portraits, real estate, and wedding coverage — always as a two-person team, never solo.
We care about the geometry of a frame as much as the feeling it carries. Whether it's a campaign launch, a listing that needs to stand out, or a couple's wedding day, the standard is the same: it has to be unmistakably good. Some lanes are established; others are growing with honest labeling on the work.
Marcus is FAA Part 107 certified and leads marketing strategy — Google Ads, SEO, and business growth — for both Holley Creative and Holley Studio. Matthew also works in 3D design and brand identity, and founded Holley Studio, where he helps companies build AI-powered workflows, digital marketing systems, and full creative pipelines. Both sides of the work inform each other.

A Different Kind of Session
“Having a son with autism it is definitely hard to get good pictures of him — let alone find someone who can deal with some of his rather interesting mannerisms — and Matt did both. He is so easy to work with and fast. Great job!”
— Sarah B., Family Portraits
