My now husband and have been joking that 'next time' we get married, we'll be sure to bring Haley (and eachother!) back for that wedding too. We loved having her as a part of day; she was present but not overbearing and only interrupted the flow of the day if absolutely necessary to get a shot that we had requested. She was pleasant, great with the flower girls and ring bearer to get them to walk slow and smile, and was full of joy for us as we celebrated. Our photos were perfect, and she even got some nice ones of my dad who hates pictures. She also worked with us to make sure that we had time for wedding portraits and to actually attend about half of our cocktail hour. Overall is was fantastic and reasonably priced for the area too.

Hey my name is Taylor Pickle. I’m a photographer based in Birmingham Al. I’ve been doing photography for 2 years. I would love to take your wedding pictures and capture your memories! I would love to be apart of your special day! 🤍

Taylor was called in at the very last minute when our wedding photographer woke up sick the morning of. She did a fantastic job and not once did I see her stressed! We have quite a few kids and she captured them all beautifully. The photos of our ceremony and reception were stunning as well and really captured the day well. Both the indoor and outdoor pictures were beautiful. Nothing was edited in an unnatural or unflattering way, and I enjoyed the mix of grayscale and color images she provided us. Absolutely recommend her!

cat lover • seafood snob • cherry blossom • beach obsessed I'm so happy that you've landed on my little corner of the internet! It's such an honor to have you here. I am a native Texan! I moved to Alabama around 2018 with my husband and daughter. I have been doing photography for around 12 years! I photograph a lot of different things, but I like to keep my focus on weddings, maternity and portrait work. I have been blessed to have traveled all over the world to take pictures! Europe, Hawaii, and Many other US states. Please don't hesitate to ask if I will come to your state, because I will.

I had a great experience working with Laneishia. She was very professional and informative when it came to discussing the whole process with me. She was quick to respond to any questions I had, and she was amazing to communicate with when it got closer to our wedding date. The day of, she was on time and her personality is just amazing to be around. I was anxious but she quickly had me at ease! My husband and I both felt very comfortable around her and her assistant. She was open to doing different photo poses and ideas as well. I received my sneak peek just a week after the wedding and it had a lot of great shots included in it. There were only two things I was super Bridezilla about, the photos and the cake, everything else I was flexible on. And Laneishia more than delivered! I was blown away by how perfect she captured our day!! I gush about her every chance I get, because these photos more than exceeded my expectations. You won't regret working with her, she's amazing!

Krista Suzanne Photography

My friends would describe me as a sunny and bright person, and that’s how I photograph. I love capturing joy and making sure that the session feels that way too. I am the youngest sister of four girls and it have always been surrounded by creativity (and girls borrowing all my clothes). My favorite thing is bringing that creativity and fun to my sessions, and I can’t believe I get to bring my passion to my job each day.

My husband and I loved getting to work with Krista for our family and couples photos. She's such a joy to be around, so sweet and is super reliable. We felt like we could trust her with our memories and really enjoyed her easy direction for when we were in front of the camera. Plus the final images are perfect and are printed all over the walls in my house!

Hey Y'all! Thanks for stopping by! I am a bright, colorful, and classic wedding and lifestyle photographer located in Birmingham, Alabama! I believe in love and marriage, and think it is something to be treasured! I love capturing joy in people's lives, so I believe that is why capturing weddings and families are my favorites. Especially since becoming a mother myself, weddings and family sessions have even more importance to me now than ever! I consider it an honor to capture memories for my clients- whether thats on your wedding day, your anniversary, welcoming a new baby, or your children's milestones.

One of the best investments of our wedding was choosing Chelsea as our photographer! I've had so many people tell me that our photos are some of the best they've ever seen, and I couldn’t agree more. Chelsea is one of the kindest people and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, both for our engagement and wedding photos. She even went above and beyond to use her own dress to wipe something off my husband’s suit when we didn’t have any napkins around! Her second shooter on the day of the wedding was also amazing and a joy to work with. They captured every moment and more than I could have imagined! Chelsea is truly gifted at what she does, and you can tell how much she loves it. Trust me, you want her as your wedding photographer! I cannot wait to use her again for future family photos!

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.

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!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.
