OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with throughout the wedding process. Their quick and efficient communication gave me the peace of mind I needed when it came to wedding photos. I had a very specific vision for our imagery, and OLAS and our photographer were more than accommodating as I neurotically guided some photos. Our photographer came equipped with a great attitude and even better skills in capturing our day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photography experience.

Where do I even begin... first, Heather was absolutely phenomenal! She was able to fit us in with probably the shortest notice ever. She was also able to work with our budget. Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience

She was able to capture him laughing and smiling. Made all the poses look natural. When we saw the photos, we were moved to tears. They reflected who we truly are as a family.

The communication leading up to the day was incredible- we had our own text chain with the whole team and could ask questions at any point. They were constantly communicating amongst themselves the day of, to keep our day on track but also willing to switch directions on things if needed and took any suggestions we had to heart. We received our engagement pics back within a week and received our wedding pictures back in under 2 weeks and were blown away at what they captured.

New to St. Louis and planning a wedding was a stressful combination. We did not know what vendors to book for our wedding day, or have any family or friends in the area with recommendations, so we went with a company called George Street Photo and Video. Thank God we did, because they put us in touch with Brooke who went above and beyond my wildest dreams!!!! From day one, Brooke was a joy to work with. Neither my husband or I had been in front of a camera before for any type of photoshoot, and we felt awkward and uncomfortable ... for about 2 seconds. Brooke made us laugh, talked us through poses and how to make them look natural, and took a lot of time and care to get to know us. Needless to say, we were thrilled with her work and went into the wedding day feeling calm and confident that she would capture our day perfectly. Between the engagement shoot and the wedding, Brooke was easy to get a hold of via text and email. She is responsive and full of excellent ideas. With 100 weddings under her belt, she has a wealth of knowledge. TRUST HER to make decisions, and she will blow your mind with the final proofs. She gets to know you intimately, finding out what matters most to you (like family backstories and tradition) and what your vision is. Best yet, she is able to execute it with precision amidst the chaos of wedding day. Her kindness, passion for photography and storytelling through this medium, and organization skills are unmatched. She is the kindest soul, and someone I hope to stay in touch with to photograph life's greatest moments in the years to come. Brooke, thank you for everything. You are one of a kind, and we are blessed to have met you!!!

Where do I even start? Jessica is probably hands down the easiest person we worked with on our wedding. We unintentionally scheduled our wedding on Mother's day and this was obviously an important day for her, but she worked with us anyway. She worked through our foolishness (my husband and I are incapable of being serious in most situations), and often would join in on the fun. She also provided a schedule of events which was incredibly helpful for me as I had no idea what I was doing. Jessica is an amazing photographer, but that is not really the best quality here. She is an amazing person all around and I highly recommend her!

I'm a film & digital photographer based in the Midwest but traveling internationally to capture heartfelt moments and authentic love stories with a cinematic and nostalgic feel. I started out with travel photography but my passion for portraiture and timeless romance led me to specialize in creative, artful weddings, destination weddings, and intimate couples shoots for intentional couples who want something beyond the traditional, cookie cutter photo vibe.

Stacey was a dream to work with! She was quick to respond from the minute we submitted an inquiry to weeks after our elopement. She also scheduled an initial zoom meeting before even signing anything which was very personable and helpful to meet the person you might want to hire! For the day of, we had an intimate elopement with only 3 friends. Stacey made us feel so comfortable and like she had known us for years even though we had just met in person that day! Stacey gave us directions on what to do for the pictures, but not strict posing which made the pictures seem so much more natural, candid, and real. She is a gem of a human and so friendly. After the elopement, Stacey provided us with sneak peeks almost immediately. And when we were delivered the final pictures, we were blown away. Every single picture was PERFECT. We also requested some photos on film, and every single one of those were perfect as well. Could not be happier with choosing Stacey to photograph our day that we’ll remember forever.

From details before hand to your final gallery afterwards, I can’t wait to plan this very special day with you and to make sure that the memories are ones you get to cherish forever.

Jill made sure to capture all of the most precious and intimate moments! I was blown away to see all the special moments she captured and we will cherish them forever. Throughout the day, we got so many beautiful photos that truly captured each person's true self. The photos of us and us with our wedding party are so beautifully posed to highlight my dress and the diversity of our wedding party.

I believe that photography should be more than just a following social media trends or taking a quick photo for your profile picture. Photography to me is an artform and something close to magic. My goal with every couple is to create photos that act like a portal back in time to that moment. I want to capture your day so timelessly and authentically that you can feel the way your partner looked at you, feel the chills that you got from the words spoken to each other during your vows, and get those excited goosebumps all over again.

When looking into a photographer for my engagement photos I was so nervous due to lack of exposure being in front of a camera. Both my fiancée and I had an AMAZINGLY comfortable time with Stephanie. Not only did she listen to EXACTLY what we wanted, she found an amazing venue for us to capture them. We spent one of the hottest days frolicking around KC’s botanical gardens capturing some nature shots. Stephanie guided us through all of the photos and posing effortlessly, making sure to capture all the shots we wanted. She was even amazing with keeping all of our personal items together while we posed. I HIGHLY recommend choosing this company for any photo needs. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!!

I’m Nikki. A Florida-based wedding photographer documenting the wild, sacred, beautifully imperfect parts of getting married. My approach is documentary, nostalgic, and a little bit undone. I’m there for the moments you didn’t plan for: your dad trying not to cry, your friends losing their minds on the dance floor, the quiet five minutes alone together, the weird little in-between moments you won’t realize mattered until years later.

Nikki was my college senior picture photographer. I wanted to do 3 very different photo shoots, as well as incorporate my college friends and my dog. Nikki was able to execute my vision perfectly!!! She knew the perfect locations and captured the vibe I was going for in each session perfectly. I am very detailed oriented and she made sure to capture all the small personal details I wanted included as well. These are my favorite pictures I’ve ever had taken. She was so encouraging and made me feel extremely comfortable behind the camera. Whether you are wanting something more traditional or something completely unique, Nikki will execute it beautifully!!

With over 6 years of experience and 4 years shooting professionally, I bring passion, flexibility, and a strong customer service background to every session. I began in nature and architecture photography before discovering my love for capturing people. Since then, I’ve photographed weddings, concerts, corporate shoots, and events for brands like Title Boxing and Mercedes of Chesterfield. My portfolio includes maternity, engagement, senior portraits, boudoir, and charity events such as Pedal the Cause and 5 Acres Animal Shelter.

We have worked with SAJ Media Group for some of the most special milestones in our lives — our engagement, wedding, and maternity photos — and they have been absolutely amazing every single time. They are an awesome team: incredibly kind, always willing to listen, and so easy to work with. From start to finish, the experience has been seamless, professional, and deeply personal. They truly take the time to understand your vision, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and capture the most authentic, beautiful moments. Their creativity, attention to detail, and ability to capture pure emotion is unmatched. We love that they don’t just take pictures — they tell a story. Each session has given us timeless images we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t recommend SAJ Media Group more for anyone wanting photographs that are as meaningful as they are stunning.
