Wil Cushman Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Shelby, AL

Growing up my father was a professional photographer. He shot everything from wildlife, to sports, to products. He gave me my first camera when I was in high school and that kicked off my passion for photography. My wife is a very talented artist, and we are raising a beautiful little girl who is a burgeoning artist herself. I am based in Birmingham, Alabama and will photograph weddings across the Southeastern United States. I am also an LBGTQIA+ friendly wedding photographer. I believe that celebrating all love is beautiful and love the opportunity to capture it for you!

Wil was amazing to work with!! He went above and beyond to make my vision come to life! Great communication and service and he got my photos back to me super quickly. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved working with OLAS! Our team (photo & video) was so adaptable to the venue and had great ideas for shots and making the most of the location. I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. We’re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!

I’m based in North Georgia, but always happy to travel wherever the love (and the good vibes) take me... I believe wedding photos should be the kind you hold onto forever ..the ones that make you feel something every single time you look at them. If you’re loving my work and feel like we might be the right fit, I’d love to connect! I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can really get to know my couples. You’re not just another booking to me.. I truly care about creating a connection, capturing your story, and hopefully becoming friends along the way (besties if we’re lucky!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Bohemewinterphotography was absolutely perfect for our surprise engagement photo shoot. From the very beginning, Ivanna coordinated seamlessly with my fiancé to plan and execute the surprise proposal—and she captured the exact moment he asked and I said “yes.” She even flew from Georgia to Florida to be there for us, which speaks volumes about her dedication and professionalism. Her communication was quick, reliable, and incredibly thoughtful, making the entire process stress-free (even with all the secrecy involved!). She went above and beyond by scouting local locations in person to find the perfect backdrop, ensuring every detail was just right. The photos are stunning—professional, creative, and full of emotion. She didn’t just take pictures; she captured a once-in-a-lifetime moment that we will cherish forever. The experience was seamless, joyful, and truly memorable. If you’re looking for a photographer who is detail-oriented, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in telling your story, Bohemewinterphotography is the one. We couldn’t be happier.

If your idea of a perfect elopement or micro-wedding involves a wild location, a quirky Airbnb, or just tossing tradition out the window—hi, hello, I might be the photographer for you. My company is Southeast based, but absolutely not glued here. I’ve photographed love stories all over the U.S.—NYC, Denver, Vegas, NOLA, Savannah, etc.

When my wife and I decided to elope, it was last minute. I was scrambling to find a photographer, flowers, even a place to do it. Enter Jennifer. She was so kind She patiently worked with me while we scrambled, and even helped me with someone who did our florals. She was a fountain of information for places in the area for eloping. Meeting her in person was like meeting an instant friend. She snapped the most gorgeous photos of us, fought the setting sun and the park we chose closing for the evening. I can’t wait to book her for our big wedding!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, and for the past 25 years I’ve photographed weddings with the same calm, observant approach. That experience taught me how to anticipate moments, work quickly in changing light, and capture genuine emotion without getting in the way. I focus on the natural moments as they unfold, keep portraits relaxed with gentle direction, and make family photos organized and efficient so they do not take you away from your wedding for long.

Roman Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From our very first interaction, Roman's communication was comprehensive, timely and incredibly helpful as we planned the details of our small, backyard ceremony. We had never hired a photographer before, and he was very helpful in asking us questions and sharing information proactively. On the day of, Roman captured the event seamlessly - he knew exactly when to step back and let moments unfold naturally, and when to jump in to get the perfect shot. We're so grateful that he noticed us FaceTiming my grandmother so we have beautiful photos of her presence, even though she couldn't attend in person. The final photos are absolutely stunning, and the value for the quality of work was excellent. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Roman Photography and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
