Once Like A Spark Photo + Video

she made everyone feel very comfortable on the wedding day. OLAS as a company is so organized and amazing at communication. They were always available to chat and checked in periodically over the year between booking and the wedding day. I was never stressed about not having enough info or trying to hunt them down. Highly highly recommend especially Lisa and Julia we wish they could photograph all our big life moments

process easy because they have shot so many weddings. The photos were candid, but not cheesy; elegant and timeless. I chose Jen for my shooter and she did an amazing job. She was able to capture our day perfectly from start to finish. She was so personable and made me super comfortable. I am so ecstatic with how the photo's turned out, I would highly recommend using OLAS.

red OLAS and chose Tyler to as my photographer because he shot a friend’s wedding and I just loved the images. I am so glad I went with them. Tyler showed up right on time on my wedding day and he was very calm and professional. He had memorized my wedding party’s names beforehand and was able to direct the bridesmaids and groomsmen into position by name for the all the photos. He got all the shots that I requested and more. The pictures are just incredible. Also, everyone I have dealt with at OLAS has been energetic, upbeat, and SO HELPFUL! This is a wonderful company, book them and you will not regret it!

ers themselves, Page and David, were wonderful! Page and David were so professional, punctual, and just overall fun to be around! They took our requests and comments into consideration, always making sure we got the shots we wanted, while also making sure they got the best shots with everyone as well. I definitely would not change hiring (once like a spark) for our photography team- they are the best!

s amazing. She also captured movement and lovely moments of us. We love how natural everything turned out to be. I hired them for my wedding as well. Also, I find communication with them very smooth. Alicia always returns my email promptly. Very happy! Will update regarding my wedding photo and video in the future!

dding. She did whatever it took to make sure we got the shots that we wanted captured. Our wedding photos turned out amazing, and I cannot thank the OLAS team enough!

hotographer, and while I was initially very nervous about not speaking to the photographer himself prior to the engagement session and wedding day, the woman who handles the paperwork and initial conversations was super helpful and conveyed my many concerns about the locations of photos and my family dynamics to Graham and his people, who was very helpful and comforting during the most stressful day of our lives. Our photos are beautiful, and we are so in love with them. Thank you for capturing our special day!

me from all the rest with the quality of their videos. On the day of my wedding, Peyton & his 2nd shooter were amazing to work with! They both had great personalities and what I truly loved most is they weren't in the way, they were just off to the side collecting this footage not knowing the beautiful work that would come of it. We got our highlight video WHILE WE WERE STILL ON OUR HONEYMOON and I was STUNNED with the result. The highlight video moved me to tears all over again and the compliments we got from friends and family and even strangers were outstanding. For those looking for a videographer for their wedding I would just want to let you know how essential a videographer truly is. There is so much you miss on your wedding day and so many parts you want to relive, and having this video to look back on is such a gift. Spark Weddings are phenomenal and my husband & I are over the moon with our video footage. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

t! Highly recommend!

We got so many compliments on our engagement and wedding photos and that is because he is incredibly at what he does! He does the perfect angles and makes even the most not photogenic people look great. OLAS is great and David is even better!

ly amazing. At our engagement shoot she made us feel welcome and less awkward (we are NOT good at pictures) and during the wedding she maneuvered the family members around and stayed so on schedule! We were ahead of time even. It was AWESOME! Then, on top of the amazing photographer, you have the incredible team behind her planning the event and executing things on time too - the amount of detail that went into the day of timeline was phenomenal. Our videographer said it was the best one he'd seen. Needless to say, they are fantastic, and I recommend them SO MUCH <3 Thanks OLAS!

ivered my wedding video early and I can't stop watching the highlight reel that Alden created. So happy I made the decision to book with (Once Like a Spark) Photography!

I could tell we had tons of memorable shots! During the ceremony and reception, I swear I never saw him once - but looking back at videos people have sent me he was EVERYWHERE! I loved that he seamlessly worked through the crowd to capture moments without even being noticed. I chose Isaac based off of recommendations from two coworkers and I will continue to recommend him as well. I have zero complaints and based off how gorgeous our engagement shots were, I know our wedding photos will be just as wonderful.

nta! We LOVED working with Jen, her talent and vision were on the exact same page as ours and we could not have been happier! Thank you!

ding. We couldn't have picked anyone better!

g our engagement shoot, which was a surprise proposal. Alyssa W. performed the shoot with such grace and joy; and the engagement photos were absolutely wonderful. We received so many compliments and cheers from our family and friends on how beautiful and amazing our photos were. We can't wait to see the photos for the wedding with all the details we missed while being the queen bride and king groom of the day. We had a great experience working with every member of the OLAS team we were in contact with. Each person was very kind, professional, and personal. It sometimes felt like we were the only wedding on their agenda, but I know they are a growing and very busy Company. They were very timely in responding to us and diligent in obtaining the important details needed for our special dates. We're so happy and blessed everything came together beautifully. The OLAS team did a superb job and we are grateful for the wonderful part they played in making our special day truly special; and most of all memorable. It was the most beautiful day! We've already referred your Company to a couple of brides/grooms!

Most importantly, they are surprisining w

eir first time hiring professional photographers. So quick to respond as well. Once Like a Spark was one of our best wedding investments!

edding day questionnaire to ensure that the shot list is completed to the best ability. The planning call that occurred with Alicia in the month prior to the wedding was so informative and eased many of my nerves about the timeline of events. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Lisa as our photographer. Her pictures were unbelievable!!! She also made us feel very comfortable during the entire process and took our requests to heart. I highly recommend Lisa and the OLAS team to capture your engagement photos or wedding day photos!

r been in front of a camera. Leading up to the wedding Alicia was an absolute life saver, adjusting the schedule to meet our needs even after our meeting and making suggestions for what has worked for clients in the past. Lisa did our engagement photos and they came out PERFECTLY, and Lisa and Sarah did our wedding photos which we cannot wait to see! We couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire this company!

ite pictures are ones that OLAS staff suggested I take, like the first look with my parents. I highly recommend OLAS!

perience! We had our wedding in Atlanta and we both live in Chicago so the best part was that OLAS is national so we were able to take our engagement pictures with Isaac in Chicago and our wedding was shot by Nikki with an assistant in Atlanta. For our engagement session, Isaac was fantastic! He provided great suggestions where we could take the pictures and definitely captured the look and feel we were going for. For our wedding day, Nikki was fantastic by staying on schedule, taking all of our shots that we wanted and creating that romantic, whimsical look for our wedding photos. We are so happy we went with OLAS as they were great with communicating with us and keeping us posted throughout the year and executed our pictures beautifully. We look forward to receiving our video footage as well too! It's a great price for an unbelievable quality and we recommend OLAS to anyone and everyone!

et and patient. I decided to go with OLAS because they were reasonably cheaper than most photographers. Ultimately, you get what you pay for and it's important to have quality photos from your day in addition to staff that genuinely care about you. When working with other members of OLAS I felt as if the exchange was not genuine and that I was a bother. I was very disappointed with the final engagement photos I received. When I decided to cancel and go with a local photographer who seemed excited to work with us they sent me an email "wishing me the best." No interest in understanding why I was canceling or what they could do to help. You can never retake your wedding photos. I suggest spending the extra money to get quality photos that capture your special day.

great shots (literally walked on cliffs and through thorn bushes at our engagement photo shoot) and always had such an upbeat and great attitude about it all! Graham was scheduled to arrive at our venue to start taking photo's around 1pm on our wedding day and he was there at 11am to get the lay of the land and scope out great photo spots- that meant the world to us and says a lot about the pride and dedication he takes in his work! He made myself, my fiance, our families and guests feel so at ease when he was capturing photos throughout the day and was very attentive to what the weather was doing outside and stealing us quickly for some great shots when the fog was hitting a certain way and when it started to rain. I was drawn to Graham's portfolio originally because of his use of natural light and the weather and was so happy he took that approach at our wedding as well. My fiance and I are so excited to see how the photos come out (especially after a few photos Graham showed us on his camera) that we actually we emailed the next morning asking if we could add on the "rush editing" option to our package to receive them sooner and of course just like every other time the OLAS team (Alicia in particular) responded promptly and let us know that would not be a problem. The communication and the way that OLAS relays important info and tips engaged couples need to know really is outstanding and my fiance and I could not be happier with OLAS and/or Graham!

ct shots and he did not disappoint. On the wedding day, the professionalism was top notch. My family and friends felt so comfortable having him around for our very special moments before and after the ceremony and Graham and his team did not smother us or bagger for photos but instead where settled in the background taking everything in as naturally as possible. I would absolutely recommend Once Like a Spark and Graham specifically, you will not be disappointed!

the only memories you’ll have so don’t make the same mistake I did. The editing quality is extremely poor. It appears that they did not use photoshop on any of the photos (we had even paid extra to have the photos edited earlier) and it looks like they just slapped a filter on the photos. They do NOT give you a ton of variation (this could have been due to our photographer as well- I did feel that he was a bit rushed with us on our wedding day) for instance, I only initially got about 4 photos of me and my bridesmaids all together in a certain location, EXCEPT in 1 of them one of the bridesmaids was washed out (like, glowing) and in the other photo, another bridesmaid was blinking. This was my experience with most of the photos. None of the flyaways on my hair were edited out. (Gross but just to give an example) I had a pimple on back the day of my wedding that wasn’t edited out either. Again, every wrinkle, every fly away hair, every imperfection was kept in every single photo. They even gave me a photo (the only one in that pose) where my husband eyes were half closed. I told them all of this when I received my photos. I asked if I could look at some of the other unedited photos to see if there were any that I liked better (they said no, but ok fine) I asked this all very nicely, and was then ghosted for about two weeks until I reached out again. They said that they would have their editors take another pass at the photos. I only received an additional 15, and 4 of them were the exact same photo. This was after 2 months of back and forth. Brides, save yourself the grief that I went through and go with an actual photographer who will be there on your wedding day AND will edit your photos for you. I

top of things, which is such a reassurance amid all the craziness of wedding planning. Not only that, but everyone is so personable that you immediately feel welcome and like you’re chatting back and forth with friends. As far as price is concerned, we benefited from an awesome promo and got the engagement shoot free. Even if we hadn’t, the prices are competitive and far less than some independent photographers I contacted. Our photographer, Rebekah, was FANTASTIC. She made us feel comfortable, was so professional and gave great, clear direction. The pictures were edited and sent to us in an online album pretty quickly, and I LOVE that we have the rights to all our pictures and can easily share the album with loved ones. Photos or otherwise, OLAS is hands down one of the best vendors I’ve ever worked with. Can’t thank them enough for making us feel truly special and doing such a fabulous job!! Bonus points for being so willing to incorporate our sweet kitty into our photos :)

of administrators and editors. They take a seriously long time to edit (which they do tell you in their contract) but the big surprise is that they outright refuse to give you your unedited photos at all. They bizarrely wanted to tell me that all raw files are completely unusable... which is not true. I do give them credit for letting me out of my contract but now I’m back to square one finding a photographer. Save yourself the grief and go with an independent photographer who can give you what you ask for.

and my now-husband is not one to sit and pose for pictures and she made us both feel so comfortable! The OLAS team was so great about communicating with me and letting us know what the next steps were and what we should be preparing for. We opted not to have a wedding planner OR day of coordinator so as you can imagine things can be unorganized, BUT the OLAS team and Monica stepped in and made it very planned yet so much fun and I cannot wait to get our pictures back! Monica showed us a few as the night went on and if just on her camera looked great the actual prints are going to be fabulous!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!!! 10/10 recommend!!

e for photos (we look awkward, no matter what). Our photographers, Isaac and Victor, did a great job of working with us to create natural photos that are perfect. From day one, this whole team made our lives easy and we felt like we did not have to worry about any aspect of the photography for our day!

out with 2 photographers for the price of one but it was perfect because we had the entire day from 2 different perspectives. Even 7 months pregnant, Jenna was a ball of energy always thinking of new ideas for photos. 3) They came early and scouted out the area. Our original location was bleached with sunlight so they had another site already in mind which was perfect. I trusted them completely and the photos turned out beautifully. 4) They were SO NICE, punctual and easy to work with. They easily felt like people you would want to hang out with outside of the event. Also my husband and I are really shy in front of the camera - they made us feel so comfortable and really reflected our true selves in our photos. 5) The prices were some of the best that I found with a ton of perks. 6) You OWN the photo rights - no watermarks, signatures etc. You are emailed a website 6 weeks after the wedding (can pay additional for rush photos) - you can download and post ANYTHING on social media because they're your photos. Also they backup the photos for like 10 years. 7) The packages are great - in addition to 6 hours of photography we could opt for a free engagement session vs. additional 2 hours at the wedding vs. prints. We opted for the additional 2 hours because 6 hours FLIES BY and we would've missed most of the dancing. Would 10000% choose OLAS and Jenna & Eddy again if we had to do it all over. They made our day so special.

was beyond amazing. He was very easy to work with, he worked well with my other vendors as well . Tyler made sure he captured all the photos and ideas I requested of him . He handled time mangement very well. Our engagement picture got great reviews from friends and family. I absolutely know that our wedding photos will be the same. I was recommended by a friend and I recommend Oncelikeaspark to anyone who is looking for an amazing photographer. Thank you for making my day so amazing!

LOVE, as did my husband. Our dream look to photographs. My husband and I are both very picture- oriented people who take photos of everything! When we met with the team, via phone, and met with Graham- Our FANTASTIC photographer, we felt like part of their little "family". Their charm, work ethic, professionalism and sweet and sincere care about what they do helped make us know this was a good choice. Our engagement photos done by Graham were the talk of the town, and the day of our wedding, we could just tell how perfect our images would be. Graham has an eye for a good camera shot, and he was so much fun to work with, allowing us to go along with whatever felt right in the moment for the picture. Their entire team I cannot talk enough about. We LOVED working with Graham, Alicia, and everyone else and know you will too.

advantage of a discount they were offering, whereby we were able to have a second shooter included in our package. This was hugely attractive for us, as we were not planning to do a first look, and we wanted to keep the party rolling (and the portraits to a minimum) after the ceremony. From the get-go, everyone at OLAS was a delight to work with. Their online portal was easy to use, their account management team was friendly and responsive, and they made the process of planning wedding photography a breeze -- even for a couple that typically shies away from having our photos taken. I wondered how their process would work on the wedding day itself (I spoke with someone from OLAS, not the photographer directly, to brief her on our wedding day preferences), and I was so pleasantly surprised that the execution was flawless. Our talented photographer Bethany had copious notes, and she knew exactly what we wanted (and didn't want). What's more, she really respected our preferences and didn't push us into too many posed portraits, opting instead for literally hundreds of amazing and beautiful candid photos that we cherish so much and truly can't decide which ones are our favorites. Bethany and her second shooter rolled with the punches and made us feel relaxed and at ease. After the wedding, the OLAS team was just as responsive as they had been before -- and they even sent us additional photos when we noticed there were a few we thought might have been taken but weren't in the original gallery. They went out of their way to provide excellent service, and we are very appreciative! Highly recommend this company.

amazing job!

to planning and organizing your day, which is separate from the photography staff, who actually shows up on your wedding day and is informed by the planning staff. Their model is effective and we had an incredible experience, though I wish we had been able to meet and get to know our photographer before our wedding day. Tyler was outstanding from start to finish. He was organized and kept things on schedule without being pushy or loud. He was great to work with in every setting from the first look, to the portraits, through the ceremony and reception. We are absolutely in love with our wedding pictures, and we plan on using OLAS in the future to photograph other milestones. If I had to do it all over again, I would use OLAS without a doubt.

s, and has set us up with a photographer for our wedding and engagement pictures that is perfect for us. We are so excited to begin further working with them! Engagement Pictures: Wonderful!!! We loved our experience with Greta, and our pictures were beautiful!! Wedding Pictures: Waiting to receive them - can't wait!!!

sions with my husband about photographs, and we discussed not doing some of the traditional photos. Alicia did not try to convince to change our minds, which I loved. Tyler was a fantastic addition to our day. He was engaging and a calming energy. I loved I could speak my mind to him and help create beautiful pictures. We also had a second shooter, Brianna, and a videographer, who were all fantastic!

de everything very easy and made me feel like I could trust them. We worked with Jennifer and she was phenomenal! Thank you OLAS!

andid dance moments with my nephews). Our engagement photos were awesome as well, I cannot recommend them enough. In addition to the great photos- they are professional, organized, and great communicators, all for a super reasonable price.

The quality is amazing. I would recommend OLAS over and over. Thank you!!!

attention to detail before the wedding and day of greatly lifted stress off of me. They suggested things I never thought of and it was perfect. Jen was my lead photographer with Rhett and they were so much fun. They made us laugh so the poses were natural and not fake. It was a lovely time and I highly recommend!

eived them all a few weeks later, I was blown away. They were stunning! Molly fit right in throughout the whole day, almost like I had hired an old friend to photograph the wedding. I highly recommend this company, and Molly, to anyone!

ughout the whole process. I always felt informed on what the next steps were. My photographers on the day of (Nikki and Paige) were EXCELLENT. Despite them feeling under the weather they were able to take so many great shots and kept to our timeline. I am in love an OBSESSED with my wedding photos and feel like they were worth every penny!

ember 2016 as well. From the very beginning, they were great to work with. The process began with a conversation where we discussed our vision for our wedding and logistical details, then looked at photographers in our region (they have photographers all over the country) to decide who we wanted to go with. The same photographer, Stefanie, did our engagement session and wedding, and she was absolutely great. The rest of the staff at OLAS were terrific as well, helping coordinate all of the details and being totally flexible as our needs changed. It's a great company that helps make real connections between their clients and photographers, and I highly recommend it!

or photography (Graham) and videography (Skylar), and the experience was so perfect for us! Between working full time, grad school, and planning a wedding, their coordination system was a huge plus for me. Their prices are hard to beat, too. We thought the videography was a little more expensive than we were looking for, but it was totally worth it. At the last minute our grandparents couldn't come and the video truly captured every moment for them. I think Graham and Skylar worked really well together, too. Also in terms of printing pictures after the fact, Shutterfly worked well for our family copies, but the OLAS prints are definitely better quality.

uly can't rave about him and this company enough. You will be taken care of and get the pictures that you want. On top of that the quality of every picture I've seen come from any photographer from OLAS is phenomenal. We still get people telling us how beautiful our wedding pictures are months later. I highly recommend OLAS and if you can swing to get Tyler as a photographer than do it.

my mind and exceeded my wildest expectations! I feel like I got such a steal from OLAS in terms of the price vs. service because the service was INCREDIBLE. I will recommend them to everyone! I plan to use them again in the future for any other photography needs!

aphy as a whole is lacking! I also have little complaints with the planning process. The minute by minute scheduling of the wedding day photo-timeline was a bit stressful, but Alicia and Darcy were both great to work with. Where I (as well as my husband, AND friends and family) have a major issue is with the wedding day experience. Our photographers, Jon & Kaye, were a significant disappointment. We all felt like they would much rather be anywhere else than photographing our wedding. They did not seem to be enjoying it, and certainly did not make any of the rest of us enjoy it either. In fact, the consensus was that they were pretty unfriendly. They also lacked creativity, which I expressed in planning that I desired in a photographer. To provide a few examples of my wedding day frustrations: - until I (the BRIDE) reminded them, they almost forgot to take a picture of my something blue! - there is no picture of the bride and her brother (a groomsman) - there is no picture of the bride and the mother of the groom - details (that I expected a photographer to notice) were overlooked such as the groom's jacket is unbuttoned during many bridal party portraits - they almost forgot to take groom with bridesmaids and vis-versa until my bridesmaid reminded them - at one point I asked for a particular pose and they acted like I was speaking another language - the bridal party portraits felt VERY rushed (and thus uncomfortable) - WORST of all... we have only ONE location of shots of the bride and groom. Less than 50 individual images, 15 of which I don't even like how they placed us. At the risk of sounding vain, this was supposed to be OUR day and we have so few good portraits of us to show for it. I've shed tears over it, no bride wants that.. Lastly, I sent all these thoughts and more directly to the OLAS feedback request two weeks ago, and have not heard a word back. Not a single acknowledgement of our disappointing experience. In summary, we could not in good conscience recommend Jon & Kaye to anyone.

ery single member of Once Like a Spark that I spoke with was extremely professional and helpful. Tyler, our photographer, was especially wonderful to work with. He had amazing visions for photos and when I got them back- quickly, I might add- they were better than I could have ever imagined! The day of the wedding he was extremely efficient and got all of the complicated family photos we had asked for taken care of quickly and effortlessly. He also did an incredible job of capturing every moment of the night that we may have otherwise missed. The day before the wedding I remember talking to my bridesmaids trying to make sure every detail was taken care of for the day of and one of them asked, what about the photographer? Do they know all the details and exactly what kind of pictures you want?" and I remember saying that I felt like that was the one thing I was not concerned about at all because OLAS was so throrough with details throughout the wedding planning process. Wedding planning is crazy stressful and not having to worry about anything with OLAS made everything go so much more smoothly. All of my family and friends are raving about our photos. I am more than pleased with this company and would recommend them to anyone who needs a photographer!

as got wedding photography figured out. They have a specific person who handles each part of the process. There were no communication break downs along the way. The whole thing was executed perfectly and seamlessly. Their packages are extremely affordable...in fact so affordable, that I was suspicious at first of the quality of work we would receive. I don't know how they do it, but they do it all beautifully. We mostly talked to Alicia leading up to the wedding/engagement shoot, and our photographers were Kait and Jonathan for our wedding in Baltimore. Kait is an awesome and personable. She is easy to talk to and work with. They were hands off during the event.. to a point where I didn't even notice them there which is nice. Not intrusive at all. At the same time, they helped direct us during our couple portraits after our first-look. They were everywhere they needed to be and captured all the things we wanted them to capture. My girls were all running late getting ready , including myself, and during that time, Kait focused on capturing shots of my accessories, flowers, dress, etc. She found things to do while we were running late without any direction from me or my mom. They even reminded us during the evening about a night shot we wanted to take outside while everyone was busy on the dance floor. I was overall nervous about the final product since the day was such a whirlwind and I was worried they might not have had a chance to capture it all. They got every moment, from beginning to end and they did so beautifully. The candid shots of the dance floor are so vivid and alive. The ceremony pictures are stunning. They truly captured the feel of every moment.

A Spark captured the most AMAZING moments! I remember how stressed and tired I was the day I got married, a million things were going wrong and I thought I would cry, BUT you would never know from the pictures! Our photographer Marissa was a superstar, even though I could swear the day was falling apart, she managed to capture so many true moments of joy and happiness (it's written all over our faces) that from here, the whole day seems perfect and magical. Having OLAS at our wedding was the best decision we made and we will be reminded of that for years to come!

o we had a replacement couple at the last minute. I liked them, but I liked how the owner of OLAS had already solved the problem prior to contacting me. They were very professional. It was a bummer that we didn't get to work with the couple that we had already gotten to know, but we still enjoyed the new couple. Overall, I would hire them again for sure! They spent a lot of time talking with us and making sure we were comfortable and confident in what we were getting. I loved the communication!

fessional. I will DEFINITELY be using them for all family photos for years to come! HIGHLY recommend.

er, Kait, would be perfect for us. OLAS has not disappointed. Throughout the entire process, OLAS was organized, thoughtful, and a breeze to work with. They even made it easy to have our engagement photos done in New York and our wedding in Virginia. I wanted our engagement session to capture the feeling of an afternoon in New York in the fall, me and my husband's the favorite season in New York. Kait absolutely achieved that, and the photos wonderfully honor the years my husband and I lived in the city. They're beautiful and so cherished. As for the wedding photos, we just got them back (see http://tinyurl.com/qgzcnv3) and I am blown away. I love candid moments that capture emotion, and for posed photos, I prefer a pretty, editorial style. Kait nailed it on both counts, and the editing team at OLAS perfected it. The bridal, couples, family, and wedding party portraits are stunning. They are exactly what I wanted and yet more than I could have imagined. Kait made a few key suggestions that even made our getting ready photos gorgeous. The reception photos of our guests are amazing as well. Kait captured authentic, joyous moments among our friends and family, and it's been so fun to see all these moments that we didn't get to see in person. As a testament to how much I love OLAS, I've already recommended them to two of my very best friends (I'm a bridesmaid in both weddings). Shawon, one of their New England photographers, did a gorgeous job on one of those weddings this past June. She's also doing the other wedding next June - no doubt it'll be gorgeous as well!

a Spark. Great company!

I wanted to book OLAS and Graham. We LOVED the team approach. The process was so smooth from our first contact with Ashley Steele to the professionalism and promptness with which Alicia addressed all of our requests, questions and planning through to how wonderful Graham and Shawon were to work with on the day of our engagement photo session and wedding day. We could not be happier that we booked with OLAS and we would recommend them to our family members and best friends a bazillion times over - they were THAT good!! Graham's OUT OF THIS WORLD talent was also so far beyond our wildest dreams. Our engagement photos were stellar and we have no doubt in our minds our wedding photos will be the photos of our dreams. Graham was a dream to work with as well: personable, respectful, considerate, kind, relaxed, funny and just an overall incredible human being. My husband and I loved every single second we spent with him during our engagement photos (for which he roughed it through Weir River Farm in freezing, windy weather) as well as during an unexpected snow fall on our wedding day at the Saphire Estate. He put both my husband and I at ease and we could not have asked for anything more. Neither of us had any clue what we were doing during our engagement photo session or on our wedding day but with his company and direction, we breezed through both feeling confident, relaxed, happy and excited. Shawon was just as amazing to work with. She was kind, funny, professional, considerate, respectful and personable and we were so happy with our decision to add a second shooter for our wedding day. We know with the talents of both Graham and Shawon, the memories of our wedding day will be preserved in the best possible way! Thank you!!

our wedding date. The first photographer was prompt in arranging a telephone interview, but the second photographer, Nikki, skipped out on the interview, claiming computer problems and illness, so we had to reschedule. At first we thought nothing of this. Stuff happens. But we soon saw this was a pattern. Strike 2 - we chose Nikki. We liked her work and, once we were able to conduct the originally ill-fated interview, she seemed sweet and charming. From there, we started the planning process for our engagement session. Once Like A Spark prefers you work through an intermediary - in this case Alicia - to arrange dates/times/ locations. Through a series of back and forth, we decided on Cagle Farms, one of a couple of corn mazes Alicia had suggested. We also requested an evening shoot, so that we could get sunset photos and s'mores pictures at the corn maze. Alicia approved these requests, but just 4 days before the date scheduled for the shoot, Nikki (through Alicia) came back and said she couldn't do either the Cage Farms (too far for her to drive) or an evening shoot (she'd made plans that night.) She wanted to change the shoot to a corn maze closer to her house, and shoot in the morning so she could keep her plans. We said this was unacceptable. Outfits and makeup appointments had been purchased. Approval had already been garnered from Alicia and from Cagle Farms. Unacceptable. Strike 3 - After some back and forth between Alicia, Nikki and ourselves (we began requesting to speak with Nikki directly, instead of just through Alicia, as we thought that perhaps some of Strike 2 may have been the result of miscommunication at the middle man level), we decided to compromise. We chose Stone Mountain park because it was closer to Nikki, and agreed to a morning shoot. We were still shaken by Strike 2, but willing to give it another go. My fiance cancelled her previously-scheduled makeup appointment, and we got up extremely early to get dressed, ready and out the door in time for our 9 a.m. shoot. As we walked out the door at 7:51 a.m. (1 hour and 9 minutes before we were supposed to begin shooting) we received a text message. It was Nikki. She said she was sick and that she needed to cancel. She also said she felt like it was too cold that morning to shoot (again, she chose the morning shoot). We were furious. We called Once Like A Spark that moment to complain. It was a Sunday. We did not hear back from Once Like A Spark until Monday, at which time they said they'd have to schedule a time to speak with us. They chose the following evening as the time to speak with us (two days after their photographer cancelled on us at the last second). They listened to our complaints, and apologized (thus the rating of two stars instead of one). They offered to reschedule the engagement session and throw in an additional session for free. They also offered rush delivery on our wedding photos. But the damage was done. We no longer trusted their photographer or their business model. We terminated the contract with Once Like A Spark and haven't looked back. There are too many wonderful photographers in and around Atlanta to put up with being given this kind of run around. I wouldn't recommend this company.

e) and saying that I was satisfied with the photos would not even come close to doing this company justice! They are perfect! I would also like to add that the customer service deserves beyond 5 stars! They are so sweet and very easy to communicate with. I cannot wait to see my wedding photos when we tie the knot in ten months!! They are the perfect company to choose and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone! Thank you OLAS!!!

he wheels running smoothly and to provide updates to next steps, when products were finished, etc. They were willing to discuss and accommodate our desired engagement photos location, which were out of the coverage area. For the wedding, we had several touch points (everything from emails to forms to phone calls) around desired photos we would like, the schedule, and any details that the photographers should be aware of (i.e. family dynamics etc.) The 2 shooters for our wedding were great. Not only did Shain know how to pin boutonnieres which ended up being a lifesaver, they were well-dressed and blended into the wedding attendants so they weren’t sticking out. It was also great to have the redundancy so we could see the wedding from various views. I wish we had extended photography for another hour or 2 to get more of the partying, but overall, very good value for the money, when comparing to similar packages and photo styles of other companies.

shots that we would want. Her personality was awesome and we appreciated how hard she worked and how much fun she was. Lots of people commented on the great shots she was getting throughout the ceremony and the reception. We loved OLAS and Krista! Thank you to all of you and we cannot wait to see our photos soon.

r you get married that just seems like forever to wait until you get a sneak peak but it was well worth the wait.

r us. She managed to capture our personalities and our love beautifully. So thankful to have found OLAS.

different people who were all tasked with making sure we got amazing photos. This worked out really well, since everyone had expertise in their roles, and it meant that our incredible photographer, Graham, only had to focus on taking pictures, and not all the extra coordinating and administrative work. Everyone I worked with was like a friend. Ashley, the owner, conducted my intro call, and she seemed truly excited about hearing my wedding plans, and honored to be a part of it. Alicia, our coordinator, was so willing to answer any questions and hash out details. Graham, our photographer, was so much fun! I know we got great pictures, because we spent our entire engagement session and wedding laughing with him! Above all, everyone at OLAS made me feel like my wedding was an important and unique event. I would hands-down recommend them to any bride.

end OLAS to anyone!
