We used O&H for our wedding &we are SO HAPPY!
If you're on the fence about using this team for your wedding.Please read on.
When I got engaged, I remember searching for photographers with the most reviews & the largest companies, thinking well ...there are so many reviews so they have to be the best! THIS IS NOT TRUE AT ALL SO DO NOT BASE YOUR DECISION OFF OF THAT! I did just that, initially signed a contract with a large Chicago-based company. Little did I know, I was told that it was a "team" of photographers & my initial Skype meeting was with a sales rep (I thought he was the photographer & LOVED his personality but then learned that they "match you up with photographers" and we weren't actually talking to our photographer). We did our engagement photos with our photographer & I was so unhappy (outdated/extremely awkward poses, VERY slow pace). I remember telling my fiancé that we will be so disappointed with wedding photos if this is what they are going to look like.
We have a large family, we weren't doing a "first look" & I needed/wanted a photographer that was going to take candid photos quickly, efficiently, &beautifully. Even tho I signed a contract with a big company, my fiancé & I decided to start looking at other photographers. Wedding photos are FOREVER and SO IMPORTANT! I personally love candid looks. When I came across O&H photos & searched through her albums, I absolutely loved them. Fortunately, she was available for my date. We met on FaceTime, never meeting in person or doing a prior shoot! I canceled my contract (not even receiving a refund) with the other company &decided 5 minutes after FaceTiming Heather that I wanted her as my photographer. We met the day of my wedding& they were personable&SO fun to work with. After this experience I've learned to support and trust smaller companies - especially O&H,they genuinely CARE about their clients and THEY KNOW WEDDINGS.
They helped make my day run smoothly&I'm SO HAPPY with my beautiful photos - they even got them to us within 30 days! (other companies take months)I'm pretty sure they are superhuman.
I cannot say enough about Heather & Ron. They are SO ORGANIZED (which helps with my Type A personality). They keep in touch with you throughout your timeline- sending questionnaires to get to know you, the vibe, what you're looking for, what photos you want to have&they even ask about potential family drama/uncomfortable situations (it's a good heads up: divorced parents, weird step-parents, any drama that could affect your wedding day!) I found this helpful to have that communication to help prep for the big day!
Since we were not doing a first look, Ron took the photos of the groomsmen & Heather was with the ladies. When it was time for the ceremony, they worked together to get beautiful angles and capture EVERY LITTLE THING. They captured small details, the big picture, and so many amazing bride/groom photos where I can't help but go back and look at them and smile. They were quick (awesome since we had a tight timeline), they told us how to pose (we aren't too comfortable in front of the camera but the photos made me feel like a model), they keep the flow moving and they help with anything! My bridal party&family loved them. My husband & I are so happy.
Heather & Ron I will forever be grateful for all of your help. I will always refer couples your way & look forward to using you in the future<3
