Colleen is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is clearly very passionate about what she does, and it shows in her work and while you work with her. Colleen took the time to get to know my husband and I over zoom and during our engagement shoot, and she made us feel so comfortable taking photos. On our wedding day, she worked so well with the entire wedding party. We had so much fun working with her! My entire wedding party has nothing but great things to say about her as well as her assistant, Jamie.

“Our photographer really took the time to connect with us, and we found that we shared a lot of common interests! She made us feel very comfortable, and completely followed our desires for candid and more relaxed photos. She was amazing at posing and directing us, as well as going with the flow and capturing what was happening in the moment. We couldn’t be more happy! We love all of the photos taken outside- our couples, wedding party, and golden hour photos feel so genuine and organic and I think that’s what our photographer really excelled in. Our golden hour photos specifically are very romantic and magical- definitely our favorites! I cannot give enough praise to the level of communication given during the planning process. Wedding planning is hard and it gets tricky to keep track of everything. From Darcy at the start getting us booked to Hannah throughout the planning process, I was so grateful for the texts and emails keeping me updated and on track. I am very grateful to have found OLAS, and have already recommended them to my friends getting married next year.”

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Enclave Light & Sound Ward 3 Media. From the very first call, everyone just felt real, fun, organized, and totally on our side. Our DJ was amazing he read the room so well and somehow kept both my college friends AND my grandma on the dance floor all night. Not once did we feel like the music was cheesy or forced. It honestly felt like hanging out with a really talented friend who just gets what you like. The photobooth and lighting made everything look next-level without feeling over the top. Ward 3 Media was just as incredible. The photographers/videographers were super chill. they blended in, gave direction when we needed it, and captured moments I didn’t even realize were happening. I’m obsessed with how natural everything looks in the photos and our video literally made me cry (in the best way). My favorite little moment: during portraits, my veil flew off (OF COURSE) and instead of panicking, our photographer laughed, helped fix it, and somehow turned it into this super cute, candid series of photos that ended up being some of my favorites. Total lifesaver. Overall, the whole team felt kind, professional, and genuinely excited for us — not just another wedding on their calendar. If you want vendors who bring great energy AND deliver insanely good results, I’d pick them again 1000x.

She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun!

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!
