Taylor consistently goes above and beyond to prioritize the comfort and experience of the bride and groom. One moment that stood out was when the bride began to overheat during outdoor photos. Without hesitation, Taylor offered her personal travel fan to help the bride cool down—an item she carries not out of obligation, but because she genuinely cares. This thoughtful gesture, though small, speaks volumes about her character and sets her apart from others in her field. What truly makes Taylor exceptional is her attention to the emotional dynamics of the day. At one point, a member of the bridal party appeared visibly disgruntled. Taylor subtly picked up on the tension and addressed it with such grace and discretion that it didn’t disrupt the flow of the celebration or the photo timeline. Her ability to read the room and respond with professionalism ensures the couple’s day remains smooth, joyful, and stress-free. Overall, Taylor’s thoughtful nature, attention to detail, and commitment to her clients make her an outstanding choice for any special occasion.

She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from. We received our photos quickly, and they were beautifully edited and of exceptional quality. Be sure to check out OLAS—and definitely ask for Victoria!

Hey, I’m Savannah! I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016, and somewhere along the way, it became the love of my life (well, one of them). I’m all about honest storytelling—documenting the real stuff, the in-between moments, the things you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is documentary with a creative edge, and my approach is simple: get to know you, show up with intention, and create photos that feel like you. If you’re into big feelings, warm tones, and someone who will hype you up while also fixing your flyaways, we’ll get along just fine.

Savanah and Andrew are two of the sweetest souls with an eye for every picture you could possibly need. From our first discover call until the big day, everything was handled with ease. Pictures can be awkward but they make it comfortable! They also think of all the small details you’d want but don’t think of. If our big day didn’t fit in their schedule, we would’ve moved it to fit on theirs. My pictures turned out better than I could’ve expected and I got sneaks right away. Everything was 10/10 and I couldn’t be more grateful they were a part of my special day.
