About Sweetbay Photography
Opal Gaines
I am a Mother, Poet and never-ending dog trainer of my 3 spoiled fur babies. I grew up around photography, my grandfather was a photographer and this has always been something I loved to do. I love people and I have a ton of fun working at events. I am always excited to capture these moments for people and proud to share my results afterward. Photographing people and moments over the years is my true calling in life. Gives me great purpose and I really do enjoy it.
One of the things that sets me aside from other photographers is my flexibility and accommodations. I often go out of my way to accommodate what my couples are looking for. In growing my business, I learned what people needed and offered what felt right, rather than what was typically sold. I am here for the memories I capture. You will find me to be honest and fair in all aspects of my business. My talent is apparent in my portfolio and feedback from couples who have had the pleasure to work with me and my team. I am a lot of fun, I work hard and take great pics! Within the last 16 years I have received 5 star reviews on every platform.

BOOK SWEETBAY!
Have you ever met someone you just instantly clicked with? That was meeting Mrs. Opal Prince. From our very first conversation, Opal completely understood my vision--and more impressively, she worked with me through every indecisive moment and my very type B planning style. She never once made me feel underprepared or behind; instead, she offered thoughtful suggestions, filled in the blanks when I couldn't quite articulate something, and genuinely partnered with me every step of the way. We first worked with Opal for our engagement session, which I was admittedly nervous about--especially since my fiancé has a five-minute photo stamina at best. Not only did Opal make the experience comfortable and fun, but she even brought in her husband to help manage our wild dog so we could get a mix of shots with and without him. When I say our pup couldn't have been in better hands with someone we had just met-l mean it. The session was full of laughter, reassurance, and ease, even as our dog did his best to cause chaos. And the photos? They were turned around quickly and completely blew us away. I had several people text me photos of our Save the Dates, amazed by amazed by the stunning pictures Opal captured. Those engagement photos will be treasured for the rest of our lives--and then came the wedding... Opal and her partner, Wing, perfectly captured the energy of the day--Wing with my fiancé and his groomsmen, and Opal with me and my bridesmaids. You can truly feel the personality and emotion, which I fully attribute to the energy they bring. Their calming, friendly presence makes it feel like you're just hanging out with a friend--not posing for a camera. Our wedding day brought its fair share of last-minute weather pivots, and while Opal's role was officially a photographer, she effortlessly became so much more. I found myself turning to her again and again, and every time she was there--calmly helping, offering direction, keeping me on track. Though she was not our coordinator, she filled that role in such a natural way, and I am so grateful for her presence on that day. I can't imagine not having Opal or Wing with us for future milestones. They are the kind of photographers who make even the most camera-shy person feel confident and beautiful, offering clear guidance and capturing magic along the way Book Sweetbay Photography!!! You will NOT regret it!
Such a great experience!
Opal did an amazing job on our engagement and wedding photos! We were nervous because neither my husband nor I enjoy having our pics taken, but opal put us at ease and got some incredible shots! Highly recommend!!

Opal was beyond amazing, she did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She is such an amazing photographer. Super professional and knowledgeable. Also very down to earth so you connect easily. Cannot wait to see our wedding photos!!️
Best wedding & family photographer!
Opal was amazing to work with from the start. She was warm and friendly upon meeting to discuss what we were looking for and was so fun and easy to be around, it felt like a long-time friend was capturing our special day. She suggests poses for portraits and gives as much direction as you ask for, but her specialty is capturing the truly candid, natural moments of whatever she’s photographing. She’s done our engagement, wedding, maternity and newborn photos and we’ll work with her for years to come!
