Hey yall! I am Laura. I am a lover of Jesus & ALL people. I am obsessed with sunrises, a collector of junk & antiques, a wife & mother, & an artist. You will always hear a mix of Dolly, Loretta, Jinks, Randy, Waylon & Willie playing near me as well. As a family we love to travel, camp, hunt, & enjoy the outdoors. Please take me out WEST! One thing I have learned in the past 12 years is that I was created to see God's beauty & to share this experience through my work. Whatever you find here that is good, or beautiful is not to my credit, but God's.

Laura has a great eye for detail and is super fun to work with! We love our wedding photos so much and will cherish them forever!

“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 feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! 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! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

I see beauty in the subtle details as much as the wide, epic scene, while I see glory in the mundane in-between moments as much as the heart thudding highs.

Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Brayley was hands down the easiest and one of the best hires for our wedding. I found her through the Zola website as a photographer with five stars. I reached out, and she got back to me immediately. Her communication skills were top-notch, and I hired her that same day. My fiancé and I live in the Carolinas, and despite the three-hour time difference, we always felt in the loop, heard, and understood. From the first email to the wedding day, she was amazing. Now let's get to the important stuff... the wedding day. She was incredible. She got all the shots I wanted and then some. We were able to get all the photos done in a timely manner so that we could get back to the party and enjoy ourselves. Brayley captured both staged photos and the best candids. We cannot wait to get the rest of our album back. If you're thinking about hiring Brayley... DO IT!

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 12 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

She’s simply the best photographer you’ll ever meet, blending creativity with flawless technique. She dives into your story, captures your essence, and brings it to life in every shot. Everything feels natural, and the results are nothing short of breathtaking. Honestly, I could write a book about it, but this is something you have to experience for yourself. One thing’s certain: she will absolutely blow your mind.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

From the very beginning, David went above and beyond - meeting with me every few weeks to help scout the perfect location, coordinate timing, and make sure every detail aligned with the vision I had for the proposal. His excitement and passion were clear from day one, and it made the entire experience feel personal and intentional. We ended up proposing in the mountains, and the photos he captured are absolutely epic. David didn’t just take beautiful pictures - he managed to preserve the raw emotion and joy of that moment, not just for me and my fiancée, but for everyone who was there. He delivered a sneak peek of our photos a few days later, and we received the full gallery of edited photos just three weeks later. Every image exceeded our expectations. David was prompt, professional, and genuinely excited to be part of the moment. I can't recommend David highly enough!

I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar. One fateful day, a friend reached out to me requesting engagement photos for her and her love. My iPhone and I were absolutely honored at the opportunity! After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

Anya is a highly talented photographer. I struggle with following simple directions, which may be due to the language barrier as English is not my native language. However, Anya was extremely patient with me. I hired her twice for my wedding and graduation pictures, but I actually worked with her three times, including engagement photos, the wedding, and the graduation shoot. She made me feel like a celebrity in all the pictures. I highly recommend her to everyone.
