โ€œWe absolutely loved working with OLAS! Our team (photo & video) was so adaptable to the venue and had great ideas for shots and making the most of the location. I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. Weโ€™re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!โ€

He was super helpful in helping us pose and very skilled in the ways he used lighting to capture our best features. He captured really genuine moments with such skill.

If you value connection, authenticity, and images that tell a storyโ€”not just pose for oneโ€”we might be the perfect fit.

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œMy husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously canโ€™t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didnโ€™t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since theyโ€™re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldnโ€™t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and Iโ€™m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! Theyโ€™re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say โ€œawww,โ€ and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!โ€

Awarded Best of Zola
โ€œWe hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!โ€

I spent 10 years as a photojournalist covering news, sports, and political campaigns, and for the past 25 years Iโ€™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.

โ€œRoman Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From our very first interaction, Roman's communication was comprehensive, timely and incredibly helpful as we planned the details of our small, backyard ceremony. We had never hired a photographer before, and he was very helpful in asking us questions and sharing information proactively. On the day of, Roman captured the event seamlessly - he knew exactly when to step back and let moments unfold naturally, and when to jump in to get the perfect shot. We're so grateful that he noticed us FaceTiming my grandmother so we have beautiful photos of her presence, even though she couldn't attend in person. The final photos are absolutely stunning, and the value for the quality of work was excellent. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Roman Photography and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.โ€

โ€œWords cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding dayโ€”the most important day of our livesโ€”they didnโ€™t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didnโ€™t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didnโ€™t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They donโ€™t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way thatโ€™s truly extraordinary. And I just donโ€™t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied toโ€”one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like weโ€™d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I donโ€™t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldnโ€™t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.โ€

โ€œAfter my fiance and I got engaged, we immediately felt a boulder of wedding to-doโ€™s fall on our shoulders. We sat down and noted our priorities and finding a photographer was on the top of our list. We started the journey of looking for a photographer and became incredibly overwhelmed when searching for a quality and quantity shoot all while being affordable and timely. Many of the photographers in our area were over budget and I didnโ€™t feel as if we were getting enough product for the price! I started asking for recommendations and I was given Laurenโ€™s name. When I looked at her media page, I was immediately impressed. I messaged her for inquiries about prices and her availability and was over the moon about her response. There was no other photographer in our area that was more affordable and more flexible than Lauren! She accommodated my fiance and Iโ€™s busy schedules and got us in that week (with prices you just canโ€™t beat - did I mention that already?) My fiance has never been the type of person to voluntarily get in front of a camera - so I knew he was feeling a little hesitant, but Lauren could not have been more warm and inviting. While on the way to the location, my fiance and I were looking at pinterest for poses and how to take photos - simply because we had no idea what we were going to do for an hour in front of a camera. It was such a relief when she reassured us of things to do during our session. Instead of poses, she asked us to complete prompts - which created a fun relaxed environment. None of the prompts felt forced and as a result, all of our pictures had genuine expressions. I canโ€™t say enough good things about Lauren and her passion for capturing genuine smiles. She was honestly just a fun person to be around and was constantly uplifting us. It was truly so much fun having her capture our love!โ€

A little about me.. I am guilty of constantly working because I LOVE MY JOB!! I throw my ALL into my work and work super hard to create images that I myself would want to hang on my walls!

โ€œVIDART came to our office in Rockford to shoot headshots for the whole team. Great setup, fast, friendly. A couple folks blinked but he retouched everything nicely. He even gave us different crops for LinkedIn vs website. Delivery was faster then quoted. Very happy with the results.โ€

Your wedding is not a performance. It's the way you look at each other when no one's watching. Your hand finding theirs without thinking. My couples care more about whatโ€™s real than what looks good on a grid. They want gorgeous photos but also want them to mean something. The couples I work with have depth. Their stories have weight. They want someone behind the lens who sees them. Not just how they look, but who they are. Presence over performance. That's the closest I can get to naming it.

โ€œFrom the moment we met Danielle, we knew we were in the best hands. She has an incredible eye for framing the most beautiful shots, capturing moments in a way that feels both artistic and deeply personal. But what truly sets her apart is her ability to improviseโ€”whether it was shifting plans on the fly, working with unexpected lighting, or finding the perfect backdrop in an instant, she handled everything with such ease and creativity. Beyond her talent, she is simply a wonderful person. She made us feel so comfortable, like we were with a close longtime friend. She handled wedding day stress with grace, never letting any hiccups take away from the joy of the moment. Her calm, positive energy was exactly what we needed. If you are looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also kind, adaptable, and truly invested in making your wedding memories as beautiful as the day itself, look no further. We are beyond grateful to Danielle for capturing our day so perfectly - we think the pictures speak for themselvesโ€

โ€œHaving Leah shoot our wedding was epic!! She really captured the mood of our wedding and took the reins, finding the most gorgeous spots around the venue for our photos. Looking back at the photos we were in awe, she captured all of the most special moments, even when we werenโ€™t aware of her presence!

โ€œAllie was our photographer for the day and she did absolutely amazing. She fit right in with my family and friends, and guests thought Allie and I were long time friends. With our wedding being a bit unique with timing and events, Allie did not hesitate to give direction, help where needed, and kept me cool calm and collected. She even jumped in the bounce house with us, truly going above and beyond! The sneak peeks of the photos were breathtaking and brilliant. She did a marvelous job of capturing the moments, stolen kisses, and my loud eccentric faces.โ€
