As a bride once, I know how overwhelming this process can feel.
There are sooo many options. So many decisions. And somewhere in the middle of it all, it is easy to forget what actually matters. 
Choosing your photographer isnt just about style....it is about how you feel.
Because this is someone who will be with you in your most personal moments. 
And the right fit? It wont feel like a business decision. 
It will feel easy. Natural. Like you just know. 
That is exactly what we want for you.

Your  vision and real connection with your vendors can coexist

here's the truth

(and it should)

Our business exists to care for you, to truly see you and hear you.
This isnt about fitting you into a style. It is about capturing who you actually are.
Every couple is different, and that is exactly what makes this so meaningful.
You deserve a wedding day that feels beautiful, intentional, and fully your own, without sacrificing the experience along the way.
And the people you surround yourself with? That matters more than anything.
We're here to walk alongside you in it all. So you can be fully present, knowing it is being captured in a way that lasts.

This is what it feels like to work with us. 

deeply rooted

the most magical days of your life

we can't wait to connect

Perspectives from the Archives

kind words from past clients

I don't even know where to start with Olson Design Photography... literally every shot from our engagement photoshoot and our wedding day are beyond perfect! Whitney and her husband Michael were highly professional and equally enjoyable to be around. She was amazing at directing our awkward selves into beautiful poses, making it look as though we were naturals in front of the camera. Michael was awesome at capturing video clips of our big day and we look forward to watching our wedding day video in the years to come. They also know some beautiful spots around the Boone area for the perfect photo opportunity. Whitney and Michael work together so well and we really enjoyed having them both a part of our wedding team! 10/10 recommend!

Literally cannot say enough about Whitney. She is everything from professional to creative to kind to hilarious. My fiance Ben and I booked her for engagement photos soon after we got engaged. We wanted a snow shoot and she was pumped for that! It would never work out for us to make it to Boone in the snow (covid, sickness, too much snow to drive in). She was super patient and so so flexible with us. We brainstormed more ideas and she was down to try whatever we through at her! I think what sets Whitney apart is not only her artistic eye and ability to produce beautiful photographs, but her warmth during the session. She makes you feel safe to be yourself and she is fully accepting. It's hard to feel comfortable in front of a camera when you're not used to it, but that was never once an issue for us. Seriously, book her today. We've already purchsed a family shoot later this year and we can't wait!

Whitney and Michael are incredibly talented and we feel so fortunate that we were lucky enough to be able to book them for our wedding. I remember being so excited when I found out they were available for our date. Olson Design Photography was my first pick photographer and as soon as you said you were available, I knew we were going with you. We hadn’t even interviewed other photographers, we just wanted to work with you!You guys did not disappoint! Not only are the photos even more beautiful than we could’ve hoped for, but you creatively and perfectly captured all of the details. On top of being the most amazing photographer, neither Tim nor I were prepared for how much of a HBIC you were going to be! Looking back, I don’t know how we would’ve gotten through the day without you! You were always there making sure we were on schedule, had food or a drink and keeping the night moving. You played such an important role in our day and we are forever grateful.

Grace + Tim

My fiancé and I had our engagement photos done by Whitney and had the best overall experience. Let me just start off by saying this woman has one of the best personalities I have ever known. She is bubbly, energetic, kind, and so much fun. She actually cares about getting to know her clients and it becomes a friendship the moment you start talking to her. We emailed back and forth and she asked me questions about me and my fiancé. I told her we liked spicy food and loved going to winery’s and she shows up to our session with a gift of wine and hot sauce.The actual session itself was so much fun. She made us feel so comfortable, played music and just had us laughing constantly. I felt like a superstar by her hype comments throughout the session. I was expecting it to be a few weeks before we got our photos back but she sent me them in a few days and words can’t describe how perfect they turned out!

Whitney and Michael absolutely outdid themselves throughout our whole wedding planning process. We will forever cherish our engagement photos and wedding photos. They went above and beyond on our wedding day - from making sure we had full drinks to giving me hand warmers to hold with my bouquet to showing us sneak peeks during before the reception even started. They captured every detail so perfectly. We will forever be grateful for Whitney and Michael!!!!

Inquire about your day

While we love a good party as much as the next duo, we also believe in days that reflect who you are. Which means sometimes, your wedding celebration looks like ten of your favorite people having a bonfire in the middle of the woods. Or just the two of you and your parents, heading to the courthouse in your favorite vintage dress (that you’ll rewear, again and again). Sometimes it looks like hopping on a plane and heading to your favorite place in the whole world. Wherever your celebration, however your method, no matter your guest count, it is our joy to capture. Our elopement couples tend to invest an average of $2500 with three hours of coverage. Every elopement package includes detailed planning assistance and location decisions based entirely on your vision.
