I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Jenna Rosalie Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Corning, OH

I was the student who had no idea what she wanted to do after High School. As my peers were applying to college with a clear career path in mind, I struggled to choose just one route. I could see myself in so many roles, and yet none of them fit JUST right. In 2011, my son was born and a new path appeared on my map: Motherhood. This role took over and nothing else mattered. The year progressed and my son grew, and grew and grew some more. I bought my first DSLR to document that rapidly growing boy of mine. It wasn't long before those peers from high school came to me to document their lives as well, and my career path was finally chosen.

When I first reached out to Jenna I was very concerned about how our timeline would work, before even hiring her she sent a mocked up time line for what our day would look like. That's the moment I knew I had to hire her- she put my mind at ease. She went with all of our ideas from our engagement shoot including our dog to the day of timeline where we told her we wanted to enjoy happy hour. They respected all of our requests and captured the MOST BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS. People are constantly impressed when I show them our wedding album and they captured the magic of the day while allowing us to enjoy ourselves as well. Any and all questions I had, she answered. I'm a very anxious person and any time I talked to Jenna ahead of the wedding she put my mind at ease.

As for my story; I married my soulmate in 2016 and we have three kids, way too many fuzzy blankets, and lots of adventures.

I strive for my photography to capture those little moments you want to remember. I focus on the emotions and interactions between you and the people you love. I want to give you pictures you hang on your walls and pass down for generations.

Loves musicals, cinnamon rolls + fun socks 🧦 What if you had a photographer who was just as excited as you were about your wedding day? Someone who went above and beyond to make your entire wedding planning journey stress-free and, dare I say it, FUN?! ...and what if you had such a great time with your wedding photographer, that you knew she'd be your photographer for life, for your legacy? Weddings are literally my favorite thing. I love every detail, every moment, and every person that I cross paths with. So when my couples show me they love fiercely, I want to serve them by showing them in a beautiful way what that looks like.

Ashley was absolutely fantastic! From the moment she arrived, her positive and upbeat attitude set the tone for the day. She blended in so seamlessly that it felt like she was part of the family, and everyone was instantly impressed—even before we saw a single photo! When we did see the pictures, we were blown away. Ashley captured every moment so perfectly, from the big milestones to the little candid details that made our wedding unique. Looking back at the photos feels like reliving the day all over again, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also a joy to have around, Ashley is the one. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’ll treasure these memories forever.

The event was my parents 50th anniversary party. The prey was on as they didn’t have any pictures of their original day. The service we received was excellent. She treated my mom like a brand new bride and took warm flattering photos of the event. She really captured the informal and formal well. She has an eye for details and was good about taking pics from all over. Easy to work with and pleasant I’d highly recommend them for any occasion

“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.”

Kristen's style is timeless and true to color. She focuses on capturing the day as it happens rather than focusing only on super posed shots- which I love! Kristen's communication is clear, prompt, and honest- I so appreciated her insight through the wedding planning process and especially in developing the timeline. We also received far more sneak peeks than we expected and I'm still shocked with how quickly we received our full gallery! Kristen, we are so happy you were there to capture our day!

I have a huge love for photography and traveling so by combining both passions I am able to capture memories for couples all over the world!

Booking our wedding photographer was probably our least favorite task. We didn’t want someone who was going to make us pose for a million pictures. We wanted someone who was going to shoot those shots throughout the day that made us look back and say how special our day was with our people. We wanted pictures to piece together the day. We found Danielle and stalked her instagram (naturally) and knew she was the one. Her work speaks for itself, her pictures are beautiful. For us it was so much more than that. We told her exactly what we wanted and she delivered. She provided direction when we needed it, her communication, organization and punctuality was amazing and her second shooter was exactly the same. Danielle is so friendly and made us feel so at ease being in front of her camera. We will bring up her name in a room full of people looking for a photographer- every. single. time.
