I had the best experience with OLAS! From engagement photos to the wedding, Graham was our photographer and he was excellent! He is super quick and officiant. We wanted to make sure we would have ample time with our guests at our wedding and not waste too much time on photos and Graham made that happen. He was so quick it almost didn't seem like I was even ready for the photo to be taken, but sure enough when my sneak peaks came back, they were all breath taking and amazing, I can't even choose one. He knows what he is doing, the right lighting, the right camera settings, and captures the most special moments that we will forever cherish and relive through for the rest of our lives. The entire entourage, including the videographer was also so amazing, friendly, funny, and engaging. Thank you OLAS for capturing the best day of our lives!

  • Serves Hale, MO

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, and for the past 25 years I’ve photographed weddings with the same calm, observant approach. That experience taught me how to anticipate moments, work quickly in changing light, and capture genuine emotion without getting in the way. I focus on the natural moments as they unfold, keep portraits relaxed with gentle direction, and make family photos organized and efficient so they do not take you away from your wedding for long.

My wife and I used Roman Photography's services for our wedding in 2015 - we absolutely adore the the photos. Our fun and family were captured beautifully. We loved the work so much, we contacted Roman again ten years later to do our anniversary photos. Roman came out and did another magnificent job. He kept things playful and light (we're both uncomfortable in front of the camera) but still professional. I can't recommend Roman Photography enough!

I believe that photography should be more than just a following social media trends or taking a quick photo for your profile picture. Photography to me is an artform and something close to magic. My goal with every couple is to create photos that act like a portal back in time to that moment. I want to capture your day so timelessly and authentically that you can feel the way your partner looked at you, feel the chills that you got from the words spoken to each other during your vows, and get those excited goosebumps all over again.

When looking into a photographer for my engagement photos I was so nervous due to lack of exposure being in front of a camera. Both my fiancée and I had an AMAZINGLY comfortable time with Stephanie. Not only did she listen to EXACTLY what we wanted, she found an amazing venue for us to capture them. We spent one of the hottest days frolicking around KC’s botanical gardens capturing some nature shots. Stephanie guided us through all of the photos and posing effortlessly, making sure to capture all the shots we wanted. She was even amazing with keeping all of our personal items together while we posed. I HIGHLY recommend choosing this company for any photo needs. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!!
