“I chose not to have a videographer for my wedding, and had it covered only by photography. I sit here now, barely two weeks out from my wedding, already enjoying my entire wedding photo gallery from these amazing photographers that captured every detail as if they were using video recorders instead! Not only did they guarentee quick turn around on my photos (I think their words were "before you're back from your honeymoon") but the quality of work speaks for itself in the photos. They were such an joy to work with- often splitting up to cover ground and their easy banter with each other puts you right at ease when they're pointing those big cameras at you. I will never be able to thank them enough for making our day so special, and I'll enjoy it with their photos for the rest of our days.”

Two small town photographers that absolutely love, love! We are a couple in Western North Carolina that enjoy the small things in life, like spending time with our dogs and hiking out into the middle of nowhere.

“Sarah and Brad bring something genuine to the table. When you work with a couple who has so much love for not only their work but for each other, it completely elevates the experience and it’s like they are already family. Everything feels natural, unforced, and it’s a true joy to have been both in front of their cameras and along side of them. The laughter is only a bonus to the quality you receive in your final product, and it really makes the time you spent together unforgettable. I live in Kentucky and I am fortunate that they love to travel and work with so many people. If you want memories that you can be proud to show off, Sarah and Brad are the only two that I have ever found that can create unique and beyond stunning images all while bringing their individuality into the mix. I can’t thank them enough for everything they did for me, both personally and professionally. You won’t find anyone better.”

“Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!”

“Carly was absolutely incredible. Going into the day, I was nervous about a particular part and she talked with me on the phone coming up with solutions to avoid drama. 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.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“I could write a whole detailed review just on my engagement shoot. I’ll save you all the time and focus on my wedding, but they went above and beyond, spent the whole day with us, and gave us such stunning engagement shoot pictures! We had three people on our photo and video team (two taking photos and one switching between photo and video), Allie, Josh, and Euclid. They were absolutely amazing and have honestly become friends at this point. They make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and bring such good energy to the day. We ran about an hour behind schedule, and while I felt we had to rush because of that, it was completely to no fault of theirs. They handled it so professionally and with such grace that they somehow managed to bust out all the photos we needed and get us back on track. I had wanted a relaxed, candid feel, but because we were short on time, it ended up being more structured. Still, they made sure to capture all the in-between moments while getting every important posed shot we wanted. I wasn’t sure if I felt we would have everything we were looking for because of the time constraint, but once we got the photo gallery back I was STUNNED. I don’t think I could have asked for more or better pictures! It was everything I could have imagined and better even while running behind!! They are true professionals and people wranglers. We had a big wedding party and my husband has a large family, but they were so organized and on top of everything that we actually finished family portraits early and made it to cocktail hour ahead of schedule. Alli was such a calming presence throughout the day. When I started to stress about running behind, she reassured me that we had plenty of time and helped me breathe and refocus. Even when we realized a few shots were missing due to time constraints, they quickly pulled us aside after family photos to make sure we got them done. They run like clockwork. They know exactly what needs to get done, how to make it happen efficiently, and how to make everything look effortless. Anytime I needed something, they were right there, even carrying my chapstick around for me. All of this AND we got our ENTIRE GALLERY less than a month after our wedding!! This team is incredibly talented, organized, and kind. I’m so grateful to have had them on such an important day.”

I've always held such a high priority on making memories that will last lifetime. This is one of the many reason I started a photography business. Just a little bit about me, I'm 24 years. Married to my high school sweetheart, Noah. We moved to Upstate, SC from our home state of sunny south Florida to start a life as newlyweds. If you are a lover of moody, intimate and timeless photography, let's connect. I would love to work together :)

“Breana was AMAZING for our engagement shoot! My fiancé and I never had professional photos taken of us prior, and Breana made us feel so comfortable, confident and less awkward in front of the camera. I sent her over my Pinterest board with inspo and she literally brought it to life. We shot at 2 locations (a dive bar and a record store) and she was full of creative ideas and executed them perfectly. Breana’s so relaxed but still extremely concise and informative. We are OBSESSED with our engagement pics and cannot recommend her enough!!”

JayDee's attentive and thorough communication made navigating my sister's wedding preparations an absolute breeze. On the big day, he ensured our entire group felt completely relaxed and genuinely at ease, a testament to his clear vision and the team's seamless execution.

Hi, I'm McKenna! The person behind the camera and a hopeless romantic. I describe my photography style as candid, romantic, and timeless. My goal is to make a human connection with all my clients and deliver images that you'll love forever. I started 1828 Collective in 2016 after I realized that capturing relationships and telling love stories was my passion. Four years later I'm so in love with my job that I often forget I'm working. I find joy in capturing love, hearing about how you met, and everything in between.

“We were recently married in June and had McKenna as our photographer and absolutely LOVED her work!! First off, communication was so easy throughout the whole process. She was so sweet and accommodating to everything. We did our engagement photos with her and she drove all the way from Charlotte to Duke! Leading up to the wedding, we had a few phone calls to plan logistics and she was so organized it make the whole process so easy! On the wedding day I didn’t have to worry about anything photo related. She made sure to capture every moment we wanted without putting any added stress on us. If you’re looking for a photographer who also hypes you up to make the process more fun, look no further! Can’t recommend her enough!”

Capturing weddings as they unfold rather than directing how they should feel. My approach is quiet and observant — present enough to anticipate moments, but never interrupt them. The day moves naturally, and the images follow.

“After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.”
