  • Serves Chesapeake, VA

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We were so pleased with OLAS and glad we hired them for our wedding. By far one of the easiest vendors we worked with. They were prepared, communicative, and always available for questions. We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography. Both did an amazing job and we were so happy with the results. OLAS also took the time to understand our needs and the unique cultural components of our ceremony (Indian Catholic ceremony) that needed attention. Highly recommend this company for your wedding. We were also so happy with the video quality - it was like watching a movie!

I'm a wedding and dog photographer based in the Northern Virginia/DC area with a focus on capturing fun, candid, colorful photos of the people and pups you love! I'm always willing to travel, especially back to my home state of New York.

We hired Megan to shoot our engagement photos last year and our wedding photos this spring. I truly could not recommend a better photographer! She's a great choice if you're looking for someone who can make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We wanted photos that were beautiful but not overly produced (i.e., represented the day as we and our guests actually saw it), and Megan was the perfect choice for that. She is kind and highly communicative, and is great at capturing both posed and candid moments. If I could go back in time, I would choose her again in a heartbeat!

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

Hi, I'm Sophia, a 27-year-old wedding photographer living between DC and San Francisco! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — vibrant, authentic, and joyful.

Intimate wedding photographer originally from the coast of VA, but now based in the North Georgia Mountains & love finding new adventures while exploring the outdoors. When I am not hidden behind my camera, you can find me hiking up a new mountain with my fur babies, eating tacos, or spending quality time with my little family. I started out capturing families, then realized that my heart is completely drawn to love & the bond that two people share. I describe my photography as bold, intimate & sincere. I enjoy capturing the small, yet sometimes unseen gestures & reactions as well as the pure romance between two people on their wedding day.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.
