I grew up in a small, rural town in Southern Michigan where I married my high school sweetheart. I first dabbled in photography in high school but perfected my craft while living on a Marine base in California where my husband was stationed. It was here that I was able to capture special moments for friends who became family and those wanting memories to last forever. I have since moved back to my hometown, where I raise my two beautiful daughters with my husband. Quickly, I learned that weddings are my passion in photography and I want to continue to help others capture the best day of their life! I simply love love!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chelsea goes above and beyond each time she was hired by myself or family for photography services. The day of my wedding, we had to change getting ready venues and Chelsea was more than flexible with the sudden change. Chelsea worked along side a videographer whom she never met with ease, and they both captured some of the best moments of my day! Chelsea has also photographed my engagement, two family sessions, and my niece and nephews 1st birthday photos. Each time, the quality of photos is excellent and she can make ANYONE laugh and have a good time! If you want to hire a fabulous photographer and friend, Chelsea is your girl!

Sycamore Lane Photography

  • Serves Athens, MI

I'm crazy about family and love and togetherness. I embrace each moment, each stage, and each day. I am a lover of Jesus. He is my inspiration, strength, and courage. I love life and all its intricacies. I don't get blown away by every little change instead I grab hold of the fascinating, glean what is true, hold close what is important, and learn from all that comes my way. In a nutshell, I'm a storyteller with a coffee in one hand, camera in the other with my family gathered close standing out in a wide open field wondering at the glory of nature. ​

From our first conversation with Sycamore Lane Photography, we knew we were in good hands. Jenn was responsive and professional throughout the planning process, which made us feel confident and calm leading up to our wedding day. On the day itself, she made the whole photo experience stress-free by organizing all of our family combinations efficiently and keeping everything running smoothly. Jenn paid close attention to the inspiration photos we shared and made sure to capture all the key shots that mattered to us. Her experience and thoughtful approach took so much pressure off our shoulders, letting us focus on enjoying our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to document our wedding.

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process.

Awarded Best of Zola
When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we were initially hesitant to book Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. since they were not a local company, and we didn't get to talk directly to the photographer or videographer until the day of the wedding. That being said, what sold us was their website/gallery, their professionalism when getting a quote, and that our venue vouched for them. OLAS' team's communication was responsive, quick, and thorough, putting us at ease. We had planning calls and surveys leading up the day of. Jasmine T did a stellar job setting us up to look our best, and she had her work cut out for her, because she was dealing with two brides, two dresses, and an outfit change! Jasmine was also great about following our instructions from the survey and planning meetings. For example, we had included pictures in front of a wall of donuts at the venue, but we later changed the wall of donuts to cannoli's and forgot to tell OLAS. Turns out the venue threw in the donut wall back in without telling us. Jasmine brought us to the wall, and it made for a great surprise and cute pictures. Jeremy did an amazing job on the videography and editing. Watching the highlight video made us cry because he really captured our best moments and those real smiles in the midst of the stress and hustle and bustle of the wedding day. OLAS gave us complimentary rush photos and video without us asking which was a 2-3 week was turn around. Despite our initial trepidation, we are so happy we booked OLAS. They went above and beyond to make our special day memorable for a lifetime. We are so grateful for their talent and highly recommend Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. to any couple looking for breathtaking photography and videography.

They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible.

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.

I cried watching our highlight video because it felt like reliving the day all over again. They caught the moments I didn’t even know happened. My heart felt so full seeing it. I would recomend them a thousand times.

Hey, I’m Savannah! I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016, and somewhere along the way, it became the love of my life (well, one of them). I’m all about honest storytelling—documenting the real stuff, the in-between moments, the things you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is documentary with a creative edge, and my approach is simple: get to know you, show up with intention, and create photos that feel like you. If you’re into big feelings, warm tones, and someone who will hype you up while also fixing your flyaways, we’ll get along just fine.

Sokol & Co Photo was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Savannah was prompt and straightforward with communication in preparation for our special day, from our first call to the engagement photos to the wedding day itself. Their work was truly outstanding - breathtaking and authentic. Savannah and Andy helped coordinate everything seamlessly throughout the day, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted without feeling overwhelmed. The final photos captured the joy and emotion of our wedding day perfectly. We're thrilled with the beautiful memories Sokol & Co Photo was able to create for us.
