“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.”

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!!!

My husband and I cannot recommend Ali enough to anyone looking for a photographer!! We first got in contact with Ali last year for our planned wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to have our big day, BUT we were lucky enough to transfer her services over to my sister and brother and law! After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!

Evan took our vision and ran with it, creating the most beautiful images and capturing everything with such an impressive artistic eye. He cares so much about his craft that he even threw in film and polaroid shots (something we REALLY wanted, but it was not in the budget). My husband doesn't love being in front of the camera, but he has never felt more at ease. Evan is not only endlessly talented as a photographer, but he's a wonderful mix of professional and cool, calm, and collected.

From the very beginning, our engagement session was an amazing experience. He was punctual, professional, and incredibly respectful throughout the entire process. Before we even started taking photos, he took the time to ask exactly what we wanted and carefully went over every detail to make sure nothing was overlooked. I really appreciated how attentive he was to our vision. Another thing that stood out was his communication and turnaround time. He arrived early for our session, and although we were told to expect our photos in about a week and a half, we received them in less than a week. That level of efficiency, without sacrificing quality, was such a pleasant surprise. He was also very personable, easygoing, and made us feel comfortable the entire time, which made the session so enjoyable. We absolutely love our engagement photos, and after this experience, I am even more excited for him to photograph our wedding. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and reliable photographer!

We have a full time team that has covered weddings for 18 years with a unique style. We love sunset and a moody sky! Our edits are very close to true to color with just a bit of drama and spice! We are an easy-going team that can roll with the punches when necessary while also making decisive decisions throughout the day. We offer multiple levels of service for photography and even offer videography as well.

I literally just finished texting Krista that she is the absolute best human ever after looking at my wedding album for the first time. The teasers were incredible, but after looking through the entire gallery, I am ABSOLUTELY FLOORED with the photos. My husband and I eloped in Charleston from Maryland and I contacted easily 15 photographers. Several of them were at least twice the price and their quality paled in comparison to Krista and her all star team. After having our initial phone call, I knew I had to have Krista be a part of our wedding. We chatted for an hour and I felt like we were friends from another life and it turned out we had very similar lives and just completely hit it off. She is tell it like it is, but insanely professional at the same time which is VERY hard to pull off. She is a ray of sunshine, genuinely adores what she does and gives all of herself to make sure she delivers and she CRUSHES it. Stephanie was absolutely amazing too and Krista's husband and his partner created the most magnificent wedding video for us. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND MAKE THE EASIEST DECISION OF YOUR ENTIRE WEDDING PLANNING BY BOOKING KRISTA AND HER TEAM!! you will be the happiest ever!!!!

She is truly one of kind and the sweetest person you will ever meet. We had rain that had us skip some pictures before hand, but she was able to make it up later so efficiently and I never felt rushed or stuck behind the camera because she just made it seem so fun. She made our pictures turn out perfect despite some of the implications of rain. In the reception she was so interactive with the guests; everyone said how much they enjoyed her presence. She offers this keepsake box that is just so special and she got us our pictures SO fast. I can’t wait for more life events to be able to have her take more photos for us in the future.

My husband and I are not big picture takers and are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but Maria was the best person to walk us through the steps. We first met her for our engagement photos and she made the process so much fun. We all laughed so much and it made my husband and I that much more excited for our wedding! On the day of our wedding, Maria was energetic and welcoming to everyone. She gave clear directions and made sure everyone was comfortable. She sent us the perfect sneak peak photos as well.

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.

Mae Krell Photo was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, they were communicative, professional, and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. As a queer couple where one of us is plus-size, we were nervous about being in front of the camera, but Mae put us right at ease. The photos they captured are absolutely beautiful - they have such an artistic eye and really highlighted the love and joy of our special day. We had never had professional photos taken before, but Mae made the entire experience comfortable and affordable. We would highly recommend Mae Krell Photo to any couple looking for gorgeous, personalized wedding photography.
