Once Like A Spark Photo + Video

Our pictures are wonderful, and we didn't have to break the bank for them! Our photographer meshed right in with our day. She helped us navigate hiccups and ensured that we got every picture we wanted. The whole team at OLAS is super talented and their communication is amazing.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kate Weinbender for our wedding in Columbus, Ohio and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment she arrived, her energy was infectious—she made everyone feel so at ease and truly added to the joy of the day. Not only did she capture breathtaking moments, but she also went above and beyond by helping me bustle my gown, which was such a thoughtful and kind gesture. Her attention to detail and commitment to making the day perfect were truly evident in every shot. I’m so grateful for her incredible work and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented and personable photographer!

OLAS made a feel so relaxed. It wasn’t like they were intruding. They were just part of the group! Our emails were answered so quickly. We always felt like our concerns were heard and helped form our plan/schedule for the day. We are in love with our photos and videos. My favorites are the candid photos. It really shows our love and the joy from that day.

They were incredibly laid-back, which made the entire day feel relaxed and effortless. They worked seamlessly with the photographer and were a pleasure to talk to. The entire process was smooth, and the detailed, easy-to-follow timeline was incredibly helpful for me, as well as for coordinating with other vendors. It perfectly captured the essence of the entire day from start to finish! I was especially thrilled with the stunning drone footage of the venue.

Wonderful experience, cannot recommend them enough! We had such a great experience with OLAS! Our photographer, Jasmine, was a very calming and helpful presence during the day. She was professional and patient and worked collaboratively with us and our families to adjust to our shot needs and any other minor chances. She also gave clear directions on how to pose! The photos came out really wonderful - we love the warmer tones and Jasmine captured the joy, fun, and touching moments really well. The OLAS team was very professional from beginning to end and we appreciated the level of detail through the planning process.

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!

I cannot recommend OLAS more - we had such an incredible experience with them. The communication from the planning stage to the day of (and even after with some video edits we requested) was so organized and timely. They worked with us to craft a custom schedule of our day. We loved our photographer so much that my sister requested him to photograph her wedding this year, and it was so nice to see him again! The photos came out perfectly - from the engagement session, our welcome event (Sangeet) and wedding and reception. Captured perfect candid moments and the editing was perfect - not overdone. For the price, there is no better value out there. We loved OLAS and have recommended them to so many friends who also had great experiences.

Our photographer was super high energy and made the day feel really easy with keeping us on schedule. Everyone loved her energy and was happy to have her as our photographer. We loved the couple portraits! They were very sweet and romantic. Also loved all of the bridesmaid pictures. The colors of the day were so beautiful. Everything from planning to the wedding day was great!

Our photographer and videographer were all so nice and easy to spend the day with! They had great direction and were able to take the most beautiful pictures and videos for us! I loved all the pictures we got back- they worked with lighting and angles and were able to really make the most of the venue and the pre-ceremony pictures! During the planning process, the communication was great, great, great! If I had any questions, they were answered right away. I only wish we had more time but everything went so well with the time that we did have and they all did an amazing job! We would 10/10 recommend OLAS.

We had two events in two different cities and loved that we were able to have the same photographer for both! We loved her creativity and ability to direct our shots. The communication during the planning process was great and I think the OLAS team does. Great job coordinating everything. We would 10/10 recommend OLAS & are so happy we went with them for both events.”

Throughout my entire wedding process, OLAS were the easiest vendor I worked with. They communicated quickly and efficiently, they knew exactly what they had to do on the day of, their photographs were gorgeous, and most importantly for me: their value was priceless. I had a very specific vision in mind for our wedding photos, and OLAS were able to go above and beyond for them. I appreciated how easily our photographer corralled family for group photos, he swiftly she could capture photos of people who aren’t always happy to be in front of the camera, and how quickly she got our photos back to us. I’d gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Our photographer Caroline was so nice and accommodating! She made us feel so comfortable which is not easy as I am not a photogenic person. We loved having her at the wedding. She fit right in with the crowd so she got some amazing pictures. We love all of our photos but especially the ceremony shots and the candids from the reception. The planning process was amazing- no notes. We wouldn’t change anything!

Our experience with OLAS was great! Both our photographer and videographer were so friendly and we received all of the photos and videos we were hoping for. We loved the diversity of images we got from throughout the day. I wish there had been more time but there’s nothing we would change!

“Our photographer really took the time to connect with us, and we found that we shared a lot of common interests! She made us feel very comfortable, and completely followed our desires for candid and more relaxed photos. She was amazing at posing and directing us, as well as going with the flow and capturing what was happening in the moment. We couldn’t be more happy! We love all of the photos taken outside- our couples, wedding party, and golden hour photos feel so genuine and organic and I think that’s what our photographer really excelled in. Our golden hour photos specifically are very romantic and magical- definitely our favorites! I cannot give enough praise to the level of communication given during the planning process. Wedding planning is hard and it gets tricky to keep track of everything. From Darcy at the start getting us booked to Hannah throughout the planning process, I was so grateful for the texts and emails keeping me updated and on track. I am very grateful to have found OLAS, and have already recommended them to my friends getting married next year.”

Our photographer and videographer were really personable and we felt comfortable around them! We liked the movement captured in the photos during the Cocktail Hour couple’s photoshoot. The photos of our dip and my dress flowing looked gorgeous. Everything looked nice. The communication during the planning process was great and everyone was so helpful throughout the entire process. They even edited some of our photos flawlessly. We would 10/10 recommend OLAS. Thank you for the amazing photos and videos!

We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from. We received our photos quickly, and they were beautifully edited and of exceptional quality. Be sure to check out OLAS—and definitely ask for Victoria!

Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!

Our photographer and videographer were very nice and the editing was perfect! The communication throughout the entire process was perfect and we wouldn’t change a thing. We would 10/10 recommend OLAS.

Our photographer and videographer were so friendly- when it rained they even asked our venue if we could come in early. Though the rain cut our outdoor photo time short, the lighting in all of our photos was our favorite. During our planning process, the communication was amazing! We would 10/10 recommend OLAS.

Our photographer was Graham and he was great! As a solo photographer, he managed to capture a lot of shots that we weren’t expecting to get. He had a great sense of humor which was especially needed on a wedding day. I love the muted browns and green tones from our photos even though the venue was a golf course. I’m really glad a majority of the photos of my husband and I were in the woods near the course as they perfectly depicted our October wedding. I also enjoyed being able to have a thorough discussion of the timeline and expectations for the day of and after the day with Hannah.

We definitely recommend OLAS. Our favorite photos from the day were our fun wedding party pictures! Everything was explained clearly during the planning process and we wouldn’t change anything from the day. We received our wedding day photo gallery promptly at the time we were expected and it was a good surprise on our honeymoon.

Our favorite part of working with our photographer and videographer was how warm and welcoming they both were! They listened to everything we asked for and made us feel very comfortable. We got all of the photos we asked for and loved the emotions that were captured in them. The use of natural lighting was also great. Would definitely recommend them!

The photographers went with the flow. With me not knowing everything that I wanted exactly that was very helpful.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Once like a spark!! From start to finish, their professionalism and warm personalities made everything so seamless. My favorite part of working with them was how comfortable they made us feel in front of the camera. Neither of us are particularly comfy in front of the cameras, and kinda camera shy, but they managed to capture the most natural, joyful moments while making us laugh and feel at ease. The images themselves are absolutely stunning—every detail, every emotion, and every little glance was captured beautifully. My favorite photos are from the golden hour session; the lighting, the composition, and the way they captured our love felt like something out of a dream. Those photos are not just pictures but memories that feel alive. I have them hanging everywhere in my house now! Communication throughout the planning process was exceptional. They were always quick to respond to questions, provided helpful tips for the timeline, and made sure they fully understood what was most important to us. On the day of the wedding, they blended in effortlessly while also giving gentle direction when needed. One photographer even helped me with my dress when the strap was broken. I can’t recommend them enough—they exceeded every expectation!

I wouldn’t have changed a single thing! The genuine candid emotion in all of the photos was our favorite part- it brings us right back to that day. Our photo & video team was happy to be there and made the day complete. The communication was amazing and they are the greatest!

We absolutely loved working with OLAS! Our team (photo & video) was so adaptable to the venue and had great ideas for shots and making the most of the location. I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. We’re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!

Everything was great and we received all of the photos we had hoped for. They came out great and we love the way our photographer got the beautiful backgrounds behind us. All of our questions were answered quickly throughout the planning process. The whole experience was great from the planning to our photographer on our wedding day. we wouldn’t have changed anything.

Our photographer was on time and very professional. When I was running behind, she improvised on the spot! I love the pictures that she captured of me and my husband by the pond. The communication during the planning process was top notch and our experience was more than we could have imagined! We would 10/10 recommend OLAS.

Both our photographer and videographer were very nice and patient! Our pictures were very clear and we received everything we were expecting. The communication during the planning process was awesome and we loved working with the whole group from OLAS! We would 10/10 recommend them for your wedding.

Our photographer made everything so easy- she was very friendly and down to earth! I loved all of our pictures and the communication during the planning process was perfect! We would 10/10 recommend OLAS!

Our photographer was very professional and he created a relaxed environment for family and couples pictures. He didn’t interfere too much and kept his distance throughout the ceremony & reception but still got great photos! I loved how clear the photos were and the backgrounds that the photographer chose! The communication during the planning process was so quick and clear and they were so patient when we weren’t exactly sure what we wanted. We would 10/10 recommend OLAS!

“Our photographer was super helpful, always easy to find, easy to talk to, and receptive to our ideas. Our favorite images from the day are the intimate & romantic ones of us as a couple. The whole OLAS team was easy to talk to every step of the way. The directions and communication was clear and easy to do. We would 10/10 recommend OLAS!

Our photographer was wonderful, personal, creative, and a pleasure to work with! The photos were all edited beautifully- we loved all of them. The communication during the planning process was great and we would 10/10 recommend OLAS!

The photography on our wedding day was very easy and didn’t feel awkward. Fast, too, with the family photos. There was one photo in my gallery of the my moms iPhone when we were FaceTiming my grandma that was so sweet. A lot of people got the shot of me holding up the phone but that’s the only photo where you can see my grandma. I’ll treasure it forever. During the planning process communication was very good, fast, and clear. So many wedding vendors are so slow at responding, so it was refreshing to have one that responded quickly. The price point is unbeatable. Before we landed on OLAS we really wanted to hire an independent photographer. It was so difficult though because our initial photographer ghosted us after we paid the deposit and then it was too late to find anyone reputable. A couple of available photographers were very slow in communication. We wanted to avoid a company because we had heard bad things about going that route but OLAS seems to strike the perfect balance of the benefit of an organized company that knows how to run a business but with a personal touch, quality, and good price. It was such a relief. We would 10/10 recommend OLAS.

I had a wonderful time working with Once Like a Spark! They were so communicative and made sure that every photograph that I wanted was done. They did a phenomenal job and I would recommend them immensely!

Our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for and more! It was great celebrating with friends and family and having a team of vendors, like OLAS, who fully support LGBTQ+ couples. We could truly be ourselves and enjoy this special moment together. The OLAS team was wonderful in capturing all our special moments and the full day of celebrations. Plus the turnaround time to get all the content back was very efficient! We couldn't have asked for a better team and would 100% recommend OLAS to others!

Our photographer was so laid back and made us feel very comfortable - we love that in our photos she made us look like movie stars! There was great communication with the team, and we wouldn’t change anything. We 10/10 recommend the OLAS team!

Graham our photographer and Ian our videographer were both phenomenal. We can’t stop looking at all our pictures and the videos they are so beautiful and we could not ask for anything better. Graham, Haley (2nd photographer), and Ian were so kind and made us feel comfortable the whole night! We truly loved working with them all. The lighting is perfect and just how I envisioned my pictures and videos to look, and we would not change anything about the day. Communication was perfect and the team was always very responsive. Thank you so much for everything! We will always look back on these photos and videos and be so happy with them!!

Our photographer, Emma, made us feel comfortable rather than awkward, which was amazing, and I actually got more photos than I expected! I loved the fairytale look of our gallery, and how the photos made us look like a country prince and princess. Overall, everything was perfect!

I cannot express enough how helpful and lovely everyone was each step of the way! From Darcy, to hannah, to my photographer Lindsay. I always received quick responses and I was able to communicate with them so easily! They were so kind and fun!! Lindsay did an incredible job capturing the happiest of days and I couldn’t be more thankful!

We had a fantastic time with Once Like a Spark - glad we chose this company. OLAS has the best onboarding process we've experienced (and we've dealt with quite a few photographers/videographers between our engagement, destination wedding, and separate reception ceremony). I loved the reminder emails and the wonderful questionnaire. Hannah was great to work with prior to us meeting our photographer; she was always responsive, kept us on top of our deadlines, and quick to troubleshoot. Monica, our photographer, was so lovely! She brought calm, professionalism, and creativity to the event, particularly at a moment when things could've become quite stressful. The second photographer, Katie, was also great. And the photos are absolutely lovely. I've written OLAS about their turn-around time to receive photos back, particularly for priority editing, and they immediately let us know that they will be making an effort to shorten this in the future. Definitely the right choice!

I loved working with this company! The process was seamless from start to finish from our initial call to receiving the final photos. Our photographer was Courtney and we loved her! She fit in seamlessly like a friend/ guest of the wedding and was very professional. The value was absolutely worth the price we paid. Our photos were beautiful from both our engagement shoot and our wedding.

OLAS was OUTSTANDING! The planning process and wedding day itself went off without a hitch and they made everything so easy for us. They captured all the special moments including some surprises that we had in store. We really can't recommend OLAS enough!!!

We used Once Like A Spark for both photography and videography. While the company's communication is generic and automated, we LOVED the photographer we chose and the videographer that was assigned to us. Our photographer, Emma, was excellent at giving directions as my husband and I didn't know how to pose. She also did excellent with the group photos and ensured everyone was seen/knew what they were doing. She had great communication and was amazing to work with! Emma and our videographer, Joe, worked extremely well together. Joe was funny and prepared. I was concerned when I did not have the name or videographers information a week before the wedding, but the company was quick to respond and provide me the information.

We hired Graham to photograph our wedding day and it was the best decision. Graham made my husband and I feel so comfortable and gave just the right amount of direction while also allowing us to be ourselves. Hannah at OLAS was also so helpful in the planning process and would always respond so quickly to any questions we had. Hannah and Graham both took the time to understand our priorities and we can not thank them enough.

They were incredible and made the pre wedding photography and videography planning so easy! Our engagement photos were spectacular and I’m so excited to see how the wedding video and photos came out! The photographer and videographer were so great and organized we were able to get ahead of our photo timeline and enjoy the wedding to get more candid shots!

OLAS captured my 2 day wedding. I had a huge wedding and a big family and they did a wonderful job handling everything and getting the most beautiful wedding photos. My wedding video makes me cry everytime I watch it!! It’s so beautiful. Their team was professional and Nick took the most breathtaking photos. We could barely even tell we were taking pictures we were having so much fun! It felt so easy. They also did content creation for us and it was so perfect having professional photos and videos I could access from my phone and my husband and I could stop looking at them our whole flight to our honeymoon. We were even more blown away when all the edited photos and videos came back. Thank you for capturing our day and making it magic!!

Everything about our experience with olas was wonderful from day one! Our photographer Jen was so sweet and always made us feel comfortable and we couldn’t recommend her enough. Even when we had to change our wedding to a later date, we had no issues getting everything in order for it. Thank you olas for a great experience :)

Where do I even start?! OLAS was such a wonderful choice for our wedding photography. The whole company is incredibly organized and helps you along the process of wedding planning. They have different people that assist in different ways, and it felt so smooth! I was at complete ease with them. We had the pleasure of having Rebekah do an engagement shoot and our wedding! Rebekah is a ROCKSTAR! She was so calm, cool, and collected while making sure to get all the most amazing shots and being so incredibly patient. She took her time with us and truly showed how much she cared about having our wedding photographed beautifully. We are so thankful for her! By the end of all the festivities, we felt like we were truly good friends with Rebekah. We laughed and genuinely had a great time with all of the photos! And we got ours back SO SOON. When I say we got so many photos back… we got SO MANY!! I truly can’t recommend OLAS and Rebekah enough. ♥️

OLAS was wonderful to work with! They listened to what we wanted and fulfilled our wishes! Thank you to Peter for doing a fabulous job with the videography. He had more than one camera set up to get all the angles needed for the finished product. He also had a drone that we requested, which captured our beautiful venue from up above. Darcy and Hannah were wonderful to work with as well and answered my emails in a timely manner. Thank you to OLAS for being apart of our special day!

We absolutely LOVED working with OLAS and our photographer, Rebekah. It was smooth, easy and they didn't leave a single detail out. They kept us informed when we had payments due or had to fill out any pre-wedding forms. Rebekah was incredible and just had a great vibe. She helped make the day feel so relaxed.

Working with OLAS was such a great experience! Darcy and Hannah coordinated everything up to the wedding, and they were both responsive to emails and phone calls. Their forms made the process quick and streamlined which I appreciated. The day of the wedding Laura M. was a delight to work with, and her photos were beautiful - exactly what we were hoping for. The photos arrived well within the window we were promised and fit the vision we had talked about with the OLAS team.

OLAS was great to work with through the entire process. They are very professional and easy to get in touch with. We spoke woth several of their photographers and found a great match for us with Laura who did our engagement photos as well as wedding photos. Loved their service and would highly recommend!

We had an amazing experience with OLAS! They were great at communicating, easy to work with and took great photos. 10/10 would recommend!

It was such a pleasure working with OLAS for our wedding photography and videography. I can honestly say they did an incredible job. Page (photographer) and Steven (videographer) were amazing to work with. They were very efficient, organized, and also very flexible. They gave us the perfect amount of direction when posing, to produce very natural, candid-like pictures/video. They were passionate about their work, and willing to go the extra mile to get the perfect shots. The pictures came out beautifully!! I literally can't stop looking at them, and I couldn't be more pleased. Overall, I would highly recommend booking OLAS for your wedding. You'll be happy you did.
