It found us in the middle of one of the hardest ones.
Michael had just lost his job, our only income at the time. Our youngest was diagnosed with epilepsy, and I was navigating an autoimmune diagnosis of my own. Everything felt uncertain, like we couldn't catch our breath.
But in the middle of it, I kept reaching for my camera. And When I looked back through the photos, I saw something I hadn't noticed in the moment: joy. Connection. Us, still showing up for each other in the chaos.
That is when it clicked. Photographs aren't just images.
They're Proof.
Proof of love. Proof of resilience.
Proof of the moments that carry you through.
We didn't find
photography
in an easy season
our story
And that's exactly how we see your story.
Not just the big beautiful moments, but the quiet ones too.
The ones you didn't even realize were happening.
The way someone looks at you. The way it all felt.
The moments that pass quickly,, but somehow stay with you forever.
Because one day, those are the ones you'll come back to.
This is why we care the way we do, and why it means so much to be invited into something as meanigful as your story
Since then we have...
Captured over 200 weddings since 2018
Cried at 200 out of the 200 weddings
(whitney, It's Whitney)
drank over 6,756 diet cokes in our late night editing sessions
danced our hearts out at every single reception
We want you to have that same feeling when looking back at your photos.
The kinfd that take you right back.,not just to how everything looked, but how it felt.
Because no matter the season of life you're in later, those moments become anchors. A reminder of what matters most.
That's why we approach your day with intention, care and a deep respect for what it all means.
Why this matters for you
The feeling We're After
The honor of capturing your story is never forgotten.
Tell us about your day
I've always been drawn to the moments that feel real..... the ones that don't try too hard, but somehow mean everything.
I love love. I love raising my boys. I love watching people fully step into one of the most meaningful days of their lives. There is something about a photography that lets you hold onto those moments in a way that nothing else can, and that is what I'm chasing.
Once upon a time I thought I would be a kindergarten teacher ( even went to school for it), but deep down, I think I always knew I'd end up here
Also we have officially moved past my Justin Timberlake phase....which has freed up a lot of space in my heart for your memories. My eleven year old self was convinced that I was going to marry him and maybe I became a tiny stalker ( ask me how the cops almost got called on my pre teen self)
Whitney Olson
Lead Photographer,
(Creative) Brains of the Operation,
(Your) Personal Hype Woman,
(Former) Justin Timerlake lover,
Forever Michael's girl + mom of three
true connection lights up my soul
Michael is the other half of the "we" and the steady presence behind it all.
He is in charge of everything you don't see, and somehow everything you need, right when you need it
.
While Whitney is capturing the emotion., Michael is reading the room, tracking the timeline, the light, and the groomsmen about to do something worth capturing. He is our calm in the chaos, our behind the scenes problem solver, and the reason your day flows the way it should.
Also, yes he is the mastermind behind those cinematic drone shots and the (undefeated) champion of making sure you have a drink in hand ecaxtly when you need one.

Intentional Artist,
Second Shooter (First in Our Hearts),
Crowd Favorite,
(Licensed) Drone pilot
Most known for always taking care of our people (aka you)
walked grandmas back to the reception,
Sprinted for forgotten rings (mid ceremony)
Re-sewn a brides dress sleeve back on
And quite literally given the shoes off his feet to a groomsman that had (accidentally) only brought slippers.
Michael is an absolute pro at doing WHATEVER it takes to make your wedding day run smoothly
