Hi, I’m Alaina! I’m a portrait photographer in the North Georgia area (+ available for travel) offering photography sessions for couples, individuals, graduating seniors, and intimate weddings + elopements.

We did our engagement shoot and wedding with Alaina, and it was the best decision I made for our wedding by far! I love her style and the photos are simply timeless. I'm thrilled to have such beautiful photos of the best day of our lives so far. Photoshoots are always awkward for both of us because we have no idea what to do, but Alaina made us both feel comfortable and at ease. She's wonderful to work with. And her husband, Justin, is nice too!

My love for photography is my passion. I take it with me everywhere I go, I capture pictures of my daily life and I print those pictures once a month, I know it will be worth it when I'm old and look back at life. Being a wedding photographer is a very emotional/technical thing, it is a challenge to create technically correct, well-composed, perfectly lit, beautiful images all day long, every weekend. Wedding photography is not for everyone, but it's for me! I love that challenge. Bring it on!

I knew from the moment I spoke to Andrea about photographing our wedding, her communication was prompt and assertive. They provided clear information about their process and timeline, and were quick to respond to any questions we had. She helped me through the craziness of having a Covid wedding! She was so helpful and supportive of any changes we had to make! On the day of the wedding, Andrea and her team were professional and organized, capturing all the important moments with an artistic eye. The photos they delivered beyond exceeded our expectations - they beautifully documented our special day with a creative and distinctive style. We are thrilled with the end result and would highly recommend Andrea de Anda Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience. BOOK HER NOW!

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.

“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.”

On top of that they were very adorable and always so easy to work with and understanding. I could honestly keep going on and on about how wonderful they are personality wise and work wise.

My name is Anthony Stalcup and I’m a Georgia-based photographer with 20+ years of experience in just about every discipline of the craft. While spending the largest part of those years as a photojournalist, editorial photographer and wedding photographer. I have been honored to receive multiple local and national awards along the way. It was in those areas where I honed my skills to be put into any situation and come out with images that tell a beautiful story.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I was looking for a photographer, I really wanted someone who could do video as well and thankfully Anthony offered both for a reasonable price. He was a great photographer and really put me at ease when things didn’t go quite the way they were supposed to. Anthony really knows how to make you feel beautiful on your wedding day! Even though it was “busy season,” his turnaround time for wedding pictures was fast! I really liked how he didn’t over edit our photos like some photographers do. Him and his videographer (I think his name was Davonte) really put in a lot of time and work to capture my wedding! If you choose him, you won’t be disappointed!!

Her patience and loving approach with our baby were remarkable. The photos came out amazing, too! Just about everyone who saw the pictures asked about the photographer. I highly recommend Hannah for her outstanding work.

I shot my first wedding July 2007 on eight days notice for a family friend. It was exhilarating. I fell in love with documenting and creating memories for my first bride and groom, Nicki & Jay. They loved my work. I found my professional calling. In 2009, I opened the business and started officially offering my services as a professional Atlanta wedding photographer. Since then, I’ve prided myself on caring about your special day more than any other vendor participating in your wedding.

Danielle was so much fun to work with for my surprise engagement at Chateau Elan! The photos turned out absolutely wonderful. She captured our personalities beautifully, and the quality was above and beyond. We were also thrilled that she was able to take so many photos with our family and friends who were with us that day as well. I was so shocked by the proposal that I kept wiping the tears off my face, but she was quick to step in and help me wipe my face without losing all my makeup! We were in a slight rush to make it to a surprise dinner that my fiancee set up, but she was able to take us to all the best spots within a limited time frame. She also did a great job at suggesting poses that were comfortable for both of us. Dani is awesome and I couldn't recommend her more for your surprise engagement! :)

I chose not to have a videographer for my wedding, and had it covered only by photography. I sit here now, barely two weeks out from my wedding, already enjoying my entire wedding photo gallery from these amazing photographers that captured every detail as if they were using video recorders instead! Not only did they guarentee quick turn around on my photos (I think their words were "before you're back from your honeymoon") but the quality of work speaks for itself in the photos. They were such an joy to work with- often splitting up to cover ground and their easy banter with each other puts you right at ease when they're pointing those big cameras at you. I will never be able to thank them enough for making our day so special, and I'll enjoy it with their photos for the rest of our days.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!
