It was the absolute best decision to have Angela as a part of our wedding day! My husband and I are not spotlight people; we generally steer clear of big crowds staring at us and we're both pretty awkward about getting our photo taken. When I... first reached out to Aster + Olive, we planned to have a small weeknight wedding, but felt it was important to have some nice "proof" of the day. We still weren't thrilled about posing for photos, but felt we would regret it if we didn't have photos to look back at. Angela's response was enthusiastic, warm, guiding and understanding. She answered all of our questions before we could even think of them. We left the conversation feeling like Angela "got" us; more than that, maybe we might be excited to have our photo taken. Fast forward through a pandemic, re-configuring and re-scheduling our day more than a few times, we decided to elope in our friend's backyard. Angela periodically checked in with us, ensuring she could still be part of our day and still cheering us on. On the day of, Angela walked the venue with us, helping us pick the spot where we would get married (I forgot to mention we're also terribly indecisive!) and just made us feel comfortable. She's easy to talk to, made us laugh on more than several occasions and never posed us in any way that didn't feel like "us." We were so grateful to have someone photograph us that made us feel understood and celebrated. When we received the link to our photos--well, it was the same: they perfectly told our story, celebrated who we are and how beyond happy we were that day. I cannot highlight enough how grateful I am that we prioritized a good photographer for our wedding—and that photographer could be Aster + Olive.
