Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,845
  • Serves Altoona, PA

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

When my wife and I were planning our wedding, we were initially hesitant to book Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. since they were not a local company, and we didn't get to talk directly to the photographer or videographer until the day of the wedding. That being said, what sold us was their website/gallery, their professionalism when getting a quote, and that our venue vouched for them. OLAS' team's communication was responsive, quick, and thorough, putting us at ease. We had planning calls and surveys leading up the day of. Jasmine T did a stellar job setting us up to look our best, and she had her work cut out for her, because she was dealing with two brides, two dresses, and an outfit change! Jasmine was also great about following our instructions from the survey and planning meetings. For example, we had included pictures in front of a wall of donuts at the venue, but we later changed the wall of donuts to cannoli's and forgot to tell OLAS. Turns out the venue threw in the donut wall back in without telling us. Jasmine brought us to the wall, and it made for a great surprise and cute pictures. Jeremy did an amazing job on the videography and editing. Watching the highlight video made us cry because he really captured our best moments and those real smiles in the midst of the stress and hustle and bustle of the wedding day. OLAS gave us complimentary rush photos and video without us asking which was a 2-3 week was turn around. Despite our initial trepidation, we are so happy we booked OLAS. They went above and beyond to make our special day memorable for a lifetime. We are so grateful for their talent and highly recommend Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. to any couple looking for breathtaking photography and videography.

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

**TO CONTACT: VISIT MY WEBSITE. I AM NOT ACTIVE ON ZOLA.** Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

Finding the right wedding photographer is very important! Each of my clients (turn friends) are extremely special to me. We will find a time to grab a coffee and discuss what you envision for your wedding day, talk details, timeline, colors, and so much more! Together we will create photographic memories that will never be forgotten.

Rachel photographed our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and I had an amazing experience working with her! Her work is incredible and she captured our memories beautifully. Her timeless, classic style is exactly what I envisioned. She made everyone feel so comfortable, she even learned the names of our immediate family members (my MIL still raves about how much she loves Rachel)! We enjoyed spending most of our wedding day with her, she is lovely and made taking lots of photos so fun. She was also very experienced in creating a photography timeline and helped prioritize what was important to us on our wedding day. I highly recommend Rachel for all your photography needs!

We are Ryan + Jillian, a husband and wife photography team. We fell into wedding photography after our own wedding when Ryan's best man/cousin Sean passed away. Receiving our wedding photos while helping plan the funeral was the greatest gift we could have ever gotten. At that moment, fully understanding just how fleeting life truly is, that started our love affair with wedding photography. We love how wedding photography does not have to be corny or grossly over staged. It can be candid, genuine, and provide amazing couples with images that they will cherish for a lifetime.

Several years ago I had the privilege to see behind the curtain to just how magical the portrait process and experience is with Jillian + Ryan of With Love & Embers. We were all working together on a progressive elopement that occurred in parts along a waterfall hike, so in between the stop for vows, or exchanging of rings, I got to see how they create comfortable and visually powerful photos with their couples. Nobody was feeling awkward or posed, Jillian + Ryan have a way about them that builds rapport and trust with their couples--people know that the photographer thinks they are beautiful...the setting is beautiful...their connection and relationships are beautiful and worthy of fine photography. In all the years that I've watched photographers work and also my experience being photographed, I can't stress how important it is for the people being photographed to not only feel comfortable but also feel confident that they are at their best. With Love & Embers is one of my favorite photography teams, they don't just take pictures, they create beautifully composed moments of connection and then photograph that!
