Oden + Janelle Photographers

of them throughout the entire process. In addition to being incredibly professional and organized, they all were very committed to making sure our wedding was captured perfectly. Early on, they asked a lot of thoughtful questions about us as a couple and our vision for our wedding day. I especially appreciated the questionnaire they provided, which really helped us think through the day and the details we wanted to be photographed. They were always responsive to any questions I had throughout the planning process and were there to help every step of the way. Our final photos were exactly what we had hoped for! They captured all of the important moments from the day (plus some details we were too busy to notice!), as well as a lot of candids of all of the people we love. We couldn’t have asked for a better photography team for our wedding and I’d highly recommend E&E and O&J to anyone!

responsive. We worked with 2 of their associates, Erika and Eric. They were amazing beyond belief! We connected with them so easily and they totally captured our love in the best possible way. I would recommend all of these people to anyone!!!

for our big day! They make you feel so comfortable and amazing at what they do! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional, fun and easy going photographers for their big day!!

was the easiest decision to make after seeing their portfolios. They were incredibly flexible, understanding, professional, and fun to work with. I truly enjoy their creative eye and their candid style of photography while still getting the essential classic pictures into your album. I also truly appreciate their more natural approach to photography in general, making sure the shot itself has the proper lighting, composition and color. Starting with all of the prep and materials they provide for you for your engagement shoot, you know you are in good hands. They are supportive throughout your whole planning process and work so well with all of the other vendors. My friends and family absolutely adored them and want to hire them for their own events! Once I received the pictures, I shared them with many of my wedding guests and they only had the most complimentary things to say about Oden and Janelle's work. I highly recommend Oden and Janelle - their attention to detail and cohesiveness as a team gave me so so many pictures to admire for many years to come!

t together for us and how seamlessly they captured all aspects of our big day! The photos were stunning!

The photos came out really well and have no complaints -- we would highly recommend this company for anyone's special event.

ole wedding planning process. Eric and Erika captured both our engagement and wedding day photos. We are so happy with how all of our photos turned out! Eric and Erika made our wedding day flow with ease and knew how to balance taking photos with allowing us time to relax with our guests. They were calm, cool and collected which is just what you need on your wedding day! We would highly, highly recommend booking with Oden and Janelle! We are beyond grateful we had them and E+E as part of our amazing vender crew!!

ys having an upbeat and positive attitude. We loved that they take a candid approach in their photography style capturing the in-between moments that are genuine and not posed. It was a destination wedding for us and they were very helpful in making our day go flawlessly while planning from afar with date changes having postponed a year from 2020. The album from the wedding day captured all of the precious moments and they had a few unique and special shots for us that were some of our favorites. They perfectly toe the line between being professional doing their work and also wonderful to have in the social mix of the wedding atmosphere. We even had a number of guests tell us how wonderful they were. Overall I highly recommend Oden and Janelle Photography!

Erika and Eric captured all of the joy and love from our wedding beautifully. You won't regret using them.

l ready and prepared for our big day. She gave us lists of important items we needed, was prompt with responses, and helpful in figuring out our timeline. During Covid, trying to figure out the right time and place to do our engagement shoot was also tricky, as we live out of state. Oden and Janelle were more than accommodating, even trying to squeeze a session in on their vacation in California where we were currently living! Erika and Eric are a husband and wife team and we loved shooting with them- they were fun, had great ideas, and made it such an easy going and relaxed part of our day. Overall, this was the vendor team that we were most pleased with. We received our beautiful pictures in a more than timely manner and could not be happier with how they turned out. Would definitely recommend.

ever imagined. If I could give them more stars I would. You will not regret hiring them to capture your precious moment!! :)

that convey the love and joy of the day in a style that is natural and romantic. As we flipped through our gallery we were flooded with emotions and felt like we were reliving the day. Their attention to detail is unique and all the important elements of the day were captured. It was wonderful to see photos of our guests enjoying the celebration as it is so hard to take in those individual moments on the day of. We also loved the candid shots and that many of our photos were not posed. They were so easy to spend the day with and made the photography portion of the day feel relaxed and most of all fun! We will treasure our photos for years to come and are so grateful for O+J!

ng planning and were very flexible and helpful in dealing with COVID changes, and staff changes during that time. They were available to help us out with advice throughout the entire planning process and created our day-of timeline and coordinated with our other vendors to ensure that we got to do everything we wanted to. Not only were they amazing during planning, we could not imagine our wedding day without them. They did an absolutely perfect job of managing the entire wedding party, making sure we were keeping to our schedule without ever feeling rushed. We even finished our wedding party photos ahead of schedule and were EARLY to our cocktail hour!! We had a blast working with them and absolutely can not wait to see the final photos (the sneak peak they sent us was already amazing). These two are absolute pros and we could not recommend them highly enough.

nd Erika were with us on our wedding day. To say that the pictures we received were beyond our expectations is an understatement. Neither of us had ever taken pictures before and Oden, Janelle, Eric and Erika all made it so easy. Oden and Janelle and their team were so easy to work with and with only a little description of what kinds of pictures we were looking for knew exactly what to shoot. Their communication leading up to the shoot and our wedding was amazing! Everyone was so comfortable to work with. They were able to capture pictures that described each moment and edited them in such a beautiful and natural way. I HIGHLY recommend Oden and Janelle and their team!!!

ng staged and perfect. As soon as I found Oden and Janelle's website, I knew that they would be perfect for the job. After our virtual "meet and greet" happy hour, my husband and I had fallen in love with their personalities and knew that we would not only love their pictures, but would love spending our special day with them by our sides the whole time. Our engagement photo session was filled with nothing but laughs and smiles all thanks to Oden cracking jokes and Janelle being so sweet. We felt like our love story was one they were genuinely excited to be a part of, and they captured our excited energy perfectly in the photos. On the wedding day, it felt as if we were having pictures taken by friends. Our wedding party could not stop raving about how fun Oden and Janelle made the day! They worked quickly and purposefully to make sure the picture taking felt effortless and natural, rather than time-consuming and draining. And when we got our wedding photos a few weeks later, we were brought to tears with the way they captured the raw beauty and sentiment of such an unforgettable day in our lives. The best wedding vendor decision we made was selecting Oden and Janelle as our photographers, and I can't wait until our family grows and we meet with them again for more family photos!

l we knew our search was over and we had found our wedding photographers as Oden and Janelle truly care about each couple they work with by getting to know them on a more personal level and finding that connection. Oden and Janelle are a power house couple and we can see that through the way they work together so seamlessly and lovingly! Oden always had us laughing and Janelle always had us smiling from her sweet personality! We absolutely loved that we got to meet them ahead of the wedding through our engagement session where they had us laughing and truly enjoying the moments. With us being from out of town, Oden and Janelle were SO helpful with providing recommendations to other vendors, restaurants, etc. in the area! I am someone who loves the little moments in life and that is something that is also very apparent in working with Oden and Janelle. From the sweet note in the mail, the wine during our engagement session, and the thoughtful wedding gift our hearts were full throughout the whole process. Even with our wedding having to be rescheduled, the process was smooth every step way. Through constant communication and recommended timelines, it allowed us to feel confident in letting go and knowing our wedding would be captured exactly as we had hoped! We just received our photographs and we can honestly say a picture speaks a thousand words!

hen she mentioned light and airy, we perked up as that definitely sounded like us! Once we viewed Oden and Janelle's work, we knew they were it. It also helped we spotted a coworker in their photos who raved about how fantastic they were. Well the work and reviews didn't lie. We couldn't be happier with Oden and Janelle. They were fantastic and easy to work with, their photos came back amazing and the turn around time was quicker than stated at the beginning which is an absolute added bonus!! Now we're just sad we had to cancel our engagement shoot!! Would recommend them 10/10!

he camera and they made us feel so comfortable. We have had a TON of compliments on the wedding photos. Would recommend 10/10!!

ee months later. Most compliments include a phrase about how the photos look “like they’re from a magazine.” We have so many photos to choose from, and our gallery was sent to us even sooner than the anticipated date. We are very happy with our experience.

nd Janelle is sweet. I love that Janelle starts the day off capturing the girls getting ready and that Oden captures the guys getting ready. They captured every moment that I wanted-- and then some. I got HUNDREDS of beautiful pictures and I am struggling to pick which ones to place in our home. We got out pictures back so much sooner than they predicted. Not only were my groom and I obsessed with them, but our bridal party thought they were so much fun and so funny! Even my guests reached out to me to share how amazing they were. The photos are easily accessible online for you and your guests. Do your self a favor and be willing to pay for great photographers- they are so worth it! The day goes by so quickly and can be a blur but they capture everything you thought you forgot. I can't believe the photos that I received I get to stare at for a lifetime! I have nothing but nice things to say about these two :)

th, know what they are talking about, and do quality and professional work! I literally cried the first time I looked at our wedding day preview photos because I just loved them so much!

smoothly. They day of they helped us relax, cracked jokes, and made sure to get some AMAZING shots of our wedding. They were also fantastic helping us pick our the best spot for our first look and golden hour photos! I truly can't recommend them highly enough! THANK YOU Oden and Janelle!!

the photos! Their communication was impeccable as well and is something that is much appreciated while planning a wedding. It was so nice to have the 2 of them be able to help both the bride and groom on the day of our wedding. If you are looking for amazing pictures, friendly people and a smooth process, then look no further than Oden and Janelle!

ecommend!

before engagement photos. When we met in person they were so kind and funny! They made us feel completely taken care of and confident in our decision. We left our engagement photos knowing that these two were the perfect team for us and we ended up with some amazing engagement photos! On our July 27th wedding day at Castle Farms they went above and beyond capturing both candid and posed (but still candid looking) photos perfectly representing our day. O + J truly captured the love between my husband and I. As we were looking through our gallery we found ourselves giggling and tearing up while recalling all of the moments of our special day. They even stayed a bit longer than planned in order to capture our sparkler sendoff because it was pushed back a bit by another group using the same area. Our guests continue to tell us how fabulous Oden + Janelle were while capturing our wedding photos. They could not believe how much care they put into making sure they were getting fantastic shots. We would choose O + J one hundred times over! They are truly masters at their craft. When we start to have children and begin to take family photos we know who we will be coming to. Thank you for everything Oden + Janelle! We couldn't have asked for a better team!

sm, but also by their friendliness. It was like having your best friends take photos of you. They were so easy to get along with and made my entire day of photos seamless. You will not regret having Oden and Janelle by your side on your big day!! They are amazing.

ent pictures, we knew we had made the right choice. My then fiance stated that he didn't realize taking pictures could be so fun. Oden and Janelle's energy put me, my husband, and my wedding party at ease during pictures at our wedding. We did a first look at their suggestion, and we are so glad we did! They made sure to prioritize US all night long, and that really made a difference. Also, we've gotten so many compliments on our "preview" pictures so far. We HIGHLY recommend Oden and Janelle—our absolute favorite vendor to work with!

the best shots without being in the way. They are so professional, have great organization and communication skills, yet know how to have fun with the wedding party! Every photo is my favorite and looking through them is like reliving the day all over again. I can’t wait to look at these photos for the rest of our lives. They turned out absolutely perfect and I would pick Oden and Janelle all over again if we had to do it again! Thank you for the memories!

pture our wedding was easily one of the best decisions we made for our day. My husband doesn't particularly enjoy getting his picture taken and they made even him feel (and look) so comfortable and natural in front the camera. I now have a huge gallery of gorgeous photos from my day: posed, candids, and details. Vendors and even the hotel we stayed at are asking to use photos for their media because they captured everything so beautifully. THANK YOU THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for the amazing work that you put into our wedding! From the website you made us to the gorgeous engagement shoot and the incredible wedding gallery: thank you! Would recommend 100%

turned out beautiful, they were able to capture us and our family and friends in candid moments. Highly recommend them!

, working to really get to know you and make you feel comfortable with them. Oden & Janelle also took our engagement pictures, which was great to get to know them prior to our wedding day. They are so professional and great at what they do - they are very responsive and open to helping with all of my questions and helping with organizing the wedding day. It was great to have the two of them there to be able to capture every thing on our wedding day, and it felt like they were two of our friends there taking pictures. We have gotten SO many compliments from guests from our wedding about how fun Oden & Janelle were on the wedding day! The online access to all of the pictures is great and allows you to print and display the pictures as you want - they are high quality photos and we will cherish them for many years to come!

ment photos and they were perfect!! These two are the best! They made sure every little part of our wedding was captured and I could not ask for better pictures!! If you want the best here it is!

ly fulfilled our wishes!! We had their associates Brian and Cathy shoot our wedding and they were awesome. They kept things moving, were creative, and caught so many heartfelt moments. They were constantly on the move for the 9 hours we had them! We couldn’t have been happier with the photos we received. We couldn’t pick a fovorite as there were too many great ones to choose from! We also had pictures taken at a few locations and really wanted the scenery around us to be a part of the photos as well. Brian and Cathy really captured the beauty of Charlevoix, MI! Overall, couldn’t be happier with the final product we received. Thank you O + J!

atient, flexible, and got back to us so quickly with any questions we had. They are so friendly, easy going, and their work is so creative and stunning. And all of the pictures came out absolutely beautiful. We are so thankful that we have these special pictures to preserve our memories forever. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I highly recommend them!!

. On our wedding day O + J were so organized and efficient that everything was seamless and smooth. I cannot recommend them enough.

tion and joy of the day with all our bride and groom photos and also fit in all the posed family photos in record time so we could get back to the party. Most of all, they made us feel so comfortable and natural and it really shows in our photos. When you’re choosing your photographer, you want someone not only great at taking pictures, but who’s company you can enjoy too since you’ll spend as much time with them as you do your husband on the big day. Oden and Janelle are fun, kind people and we genuinely enjoyed the time we spent with them during our engagement session and wedding day. We would absolutely recommended them. Plus, our best man and his fiancé hired them for their upcoming wedding after meeting them and seeing their work during our wedding. When your bridal party likes your photographer so much that they hire them for their own wedding, it’s safe to say you’ve got the best.

out them, and I am so glad that we picked them! They really took the time to get to know me and my husband, and that meant so much to us. By the time the wedding came around, they felt like friends! They go above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, and take the best pictures. They captured everything about us so perfectly. If a picture is worth a thousand words, I could write a book about how amazing they are. We wanted someone that could capture my and my husband's funny personalities and they did just that. I can't count the number of times that guests at the wedding came up to us and said how amazing our photographers are. Booking Oden and Janelle for your wedding would be the best decision you make!!!

all expectations. From getting to know us, to being very responsive to texts/emails, making us a timeline for the day of, and being a joy to hang out with all day, I cannot say enough good things about them. They asked us what we wanted from our pictures beforehand, and then on the day of the wedding they took control and made sure we had hundreds of amazing photos, both candid and staged. I received innumerable compliments on both Oden and Janelle and our photographs from friends and family and I would highly highly recommend them as wedding photographers.

ee that Oden and Janelle could really capture 'that moment' and emotion in all their photos. This was a requirement for me as my husband and I are both pretty camera shy haha! After a fun Skype date, we chose them to photograph our engagement and wedding. We were both nervous for our engagement shoot because we had never gotten our photos taken professionally before. Oden and Janelle quickly eased all our nerves, we felt like we were taking photos with our friends! Oden is very outgoing and was always making funny and cute comments to make us laugh. Janelle is very precise in her direction but manages to make all the photos look so natural and not posed. We welcomed the directing as we are both not models! Our engagement photos turned out so beautiful that we couldn't wait for the wedding. As the date grew nearer, Janelle was always very responsive to all my questions through email. On our wedding day Oden began with the guys and Janelle was with me. I was worried about how the day was going to go and being in front of so many people but Janelle made me feel better with her kind words and she made taking photos with my bridesmaids fun. Then we had our first look where Oden and Janelle captured some of the most AMAZING shots of just the two of us. We had kind of a large wedding party but they still managed to get everyone together for excellent group photos! It was SOOOO helpful to make the timeline so we could keep everything on task but still get all the photos we wanted. All our photos turned out great from the ceremony and reception. We have received so many comments from friends and family on how beautiful our photos are. Oden and Janelle were always on the go, not only trying to get those little moments of us but of our guests as well. We hope to be able to work with them in the future, wherever life takes us! Oden and Janelle - we can't thank you enough for capturing every detail and emotion on the first day of our lives together. We will cherish these photos forever. You truly are the best of the best!

nding a friend or hiring someone newer. TRUST ME, you want to go with Oden and Janelle. This was by far the best decision I made about the entire wedding, besides marrying my super hot wife of course. With Oden and Janelle you get so much more than amazing pictures. With these two, it was basically impossible for anything to go wrong. I do not know how I would have made it through the day without them. I can't express enough how happy I am that we found Oden and Janelle. These two do not only deliver a ton of amazing photos, but they capture the moment and get the action. These two know what they are doing!

photos don't look overly edited and fake, so it just enhances the natural beauty of the photo, making the photos they give you so beautiful! Before our engagement photo session my husband and I were a little nervous, but once we started working with Oden and Janelle we quickly realized that we had no reason to be. They are fantastic to work with because they helped us pose and said funny jokes. The whole process was so much fun and we loved all of the photos! That positive experience made us excited to get our wedding photos done. The day of the wedding they were their fun and friendly selves - they are such a pleasure to be around! Janelle worked closely with me on my bridal portraits and when the morning became hectic as everyone was trying to get to the venue on time Janelle was so much more than just a photographer for me. It felt like she was one of my friends and captured great shots that morning; what more could I ask for?! At the ceremony and reception both Oden and Janelle were phenomenal! My husband, family, friends, and I all love all of the photos so much! We will cherish them for years to come. We love Oden and Janelle and we hope to use them as our photographs for any and all future professional photographs as our family grows!

now you so they can showcase what is important to you when capturing those special moments. The engagement photos were so impressive down in San Diego, just simply stunning! They have incredible energy and compliment each other very well. I can't say enough about them. We were so impressed with their talents and accommodations for us! The wedding website they put together for us was so convenient and helpful for guests. Couldn't have asked for a better group of people to capture our wedding! If you are looking for photographers, book Oden and Janelle!

in Mexico. We did a video chat and I think immediately after we booked them. They were both a pleasure to work with and did one amazing job capturing our day. We never felt awkward, we all just had a good time capturing some memories. Even the bridal party loved them. They were a joy to be around and made everyone feel comfortable. And the pictures!! They seriously all turned out amazing. I loved every single one of them from the serious photos down to the funny face ones. They captured everything! Thank you Oden and Janelle for capturing Darren and I's most perfect day!
