We are committed to helping people find their voice and tell their unique stories through photography! Every story is unique and it is our goal to get to know you so that we can document your story authentically. If you're looking for super posed photos of your day, that's okay but Im probably not the best fit! But if youre a fun-loving couple that oozes chemistry and can't keep your eyes (or hands) off of each other, and you want that captured genuinely, I'm your girl!

What can I say other than they are ‘outstanding’ having you both capture moments that we will look back on and treasure forever, is SO incredibly special. The dream team duo! I could not be happier with the end result and we would happily recommend them to anyone. I cannot recommend them more to be at the top of your guest list. Not only were the quality of the photos perfect, the communication was the BEST. They really helped move our timeline along and stayed on top of everything and really captured the day the way I saw it. I have never been so happy to have them on our team, thank you so much!

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.

The communication throughout the entire process was great and we’d definitely recommend OLAS. We aren’t great at posing ourselves so we loved that our photographer and videographer’s ability to come up with great poses and backgrounds! We loved how all of the photos showed everyone’s genuine emotions of the day so well!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

We used her for our engagement shoot, and for our photography and videography on our wedding day! Our sneak peeks were AMAZING and exactly what I wanted! Our amazing photographer day of, Ali, was quick to put out small fires and think on her feet, all while making sure we were happy and didn’t need anything! Whether we needed encouragement, direction or even another drink, she was there! So many people told me they were impressed with how much our videographer, Jackson, captured EVERY moment! He was constantly moving around, getting different angles, and getting different perspectives of our day. Overall, my experience with Moonrae Photography was excellent, and I have nothing but positive things to say about the company, and it’s lovely owner!

Hi there! My name is Tonya, it’s great to meet you! I am a mom to two kiddos who loves capturing memories. If you’re here, that means congratulations are in order on your engagement! Wedding planning, while stressful, is such an exciting journey leading to the start of your lives together. My hope is to capture those moments for you to relive over and over again throughout your lives. I have been photographing weddings since 2018. It’s a joy that I can’t put into words. Seeing two people love one another, capturing the creativity of each individual and unique wedding, it’s something I love having the opportunity to do!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tonya was incredible. I got engaged December 2019 and was looking to book a photographer pretty early on. Then the pandemic began and my plans changed, slowly at first, then drastically. Tonya was caring and understanding of my situation even before i was an official customer. She kept my date closed in her books until i was finally able to pay in full. She's a very sweet person and so easy to get along with. She's versatile in her editing style and is great if you are looking for something "light and airy" or something a little more "moody". Booking Tonya was hands down the best decision i made with my wedding (second only to picking the man i married).

My mission is to freeze your milestones forever in time. I vow to make our experience together comfortable, full of laughter and unique to you! I truly mean it when I say that I want to be your friend. I will get to know you, encourage you and cheer you on as you navigate life.

Awarded Best of Zola
McKenzie was everything I could have asked for in a photographer. I spent a lot of time looking through photographers in the area, as having nice photos to look back on was super important to me. We don't live near where our venue was, so I was a bit nervous about not being able to meet the vendors ahead of time, but this was not a problem at all. McKenzie was very communicative and video called me for our meetings, was up front about the costs and payments, and honestly just so so sweet. I genuinely felt like she was just as excited about my wedding as I was. Her positive attitude was so reassuring and I knew right away that we made the right choice. On our wedding day, she gave great direction for posing, which was super helpful as our bridal party (bride & groom included) were not very experienced working with a professional photographer. I have a pretty big blended family, and McKenzie was so helpful organizing everybody and making sure everyone looked their best for photos (even making it work when some family members made things complicated). We had a videographer as well that McKenzie had never worked with before, but you couldn't tell that they had just met that day, as the worked so well together. When people were at risk of interrupting our photos, she kindly asked them to move, and snuck me out for sunset photos during the ceremony with ease. We had our "sneak peek" photos sent to us only a few days after the wedding which were so sweet to look at during our honeymoon. She even included a sweet card in our card box. Not only is she talented, but she is kind, helpful, understanding, and it felt like I was working with a friend (despite basically being strangers). These are photos I will have to look back on to remember these moments forever and I am so grateful I chose the right photographer. I would highly recommend McKenzie to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any service she offers.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am going to try and get off my soapbox for this review but I make no promises. Hiring Jessie Harris and Wildcrest Studios for my wedding was the single best decision I have ever made, except for marrying my husband. We had a small wedding, with a small budget, a very specific vision, no planner or coordinator, and no freaking clue what we were doing. From my first phone call with Jessie I knew that she was something special. She is experienced, organized, diligent, detail oriented, creative, kind, patient, and funny as heck. She truly listens to what you are hoping for and - somehow, despite all odds - she makes it happen. She LITERALLY threw off her shoes and climbed into Lake Michigan to get a shot of my husband and I on a dock at sunset. She kicked the groomsmen out of the area during our first touch because it was ruining the moment and I was too emotional and nervous to say anything. She drove across the state to shoot a pre-wedding reception for us. Alex, the second shooter, tied my husband’s bow tie for him before he walked down the aisle… and my brother’s… and my dad’s… and I’m pretty sure half the groomsmen’s bow ties too. She helped us create the timeline for our wedding day. She even gave us advice on what to pick for our first dance. And, to top it all off, she has provided us with the most unbelievable and stunning engagement, reception, and wedding day photos I could have imagined. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I feel when thinking about finding Jessie and Wildcrest Studios. Do yourself a favor and at least send an inquiry. Or don’t, and I’ll keep her all to myself :)

We worked with Ashlyn for our wedding vow renewal and she was able to capture every idea that came to my head! She was all in and awesome to work with! Very easy going and easy to communicate with also! So happy we went with Willow & Rove to capture something so special to us!

Hi! It's nice to meet you. I would shake your hand, but I'm more of a fist-bump type of gal. 😃 I have worked full-time as a math and special education teacher for over 20 years, and nearing my 40's, decided to pursue photography since it has been a life-long interest of mine. In 2019, I completed a digital photography degree and while it originally started as a hobby, my work gained a following so I decided to make things official in 2020. Over the past couple of years, my focus has been on photographing families in addition to couples in love. Getting a couple who's madly in love in front of your camera is pure magic!

Sarah photographed a wedding on my property this past fall. She was professional in all written and verbal correspondence and also respected my wishes regarding which locations were not to be used for photography. I would be happy to work with her again.
