Mak was amazing from start to finish. He answered all my questions ahead of time, which made planning so much easier. On both our engagement session and wedding day, he made everyone feel comfortable right away. His humor helped guests relax, and the photos feel so natural because of it. He also gave great direction with posing, which we really appreciated, and still captured so many artistic, candid moments. Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out absolutely stunning.

McKenzie is amazing! She made taking wedding photos so much fun — even the people who normally hate pictures (my now husband) were laughing and having a blast. She’s super chill and easy to be around, but also somehow keeps everything perfectly on time (a true wedding-day miracle). Nothing felt staged or awkward — she captured all the real moments and emotions while keeping the vibe light and natural. If you want photos that feel like you and an experience that’s just as great as the pictures, McKenzie’s your girl!

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.

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!

It's so hard for us to pick our favorite pictures to get framed, we love them all! Jessica is a true pro and an absolute pleasure to work with.
