OLAS LOVES :: *love day*
Hello OLAS lovelies!
You didn’t think we were going to let Valentines Day come and go without a special edition OLAS LOVES blog post did you?! Not a chance! We olas-ers work in a company whose whole purpose is to celebrate love and do our very best to capture it for lifetimes to come. Thus, since we absolutely love, “love day” (obvi!) –> we’ve decided to give you a little gallery of some our favorite/sweetest olas moments this year. Get ready for some seriously amazing couples shots and soak in the love.
Happy Valentines Day OLAS family!! We heart you.
Tracey + Efren::Engagement::California
When Tracey + Efren contacted us about shooting their November wedding in California, we were SUPER pumped. They were getting married at a really cool venue, and both just had a super-fun vibe about them. Not only were they high-school sweethearts (and dated for 13 years) but they were laid-back, and wanted photography that really all of the “in the moment-ness” of their wedding day. We knew it would be a great day…and it was! But we’re making you wait for their wedding pics…and are bringing you their AMAZING engagement photos today instead! Our absolutely killer Cali photog, Michael, headed out for an engagement session in June that included an amazingly diverse variety of backgrounds all across San Francisco….and it made for some AWESOME photos. Tracey, Efren, and Michael started with some really beautiful, bright, city graffiti – we’re seriously loving the pop of colors in this set! From there, it was time for a quick outfit change and some shots with some of the gorgeous city architecture, the skyline at dusk (oh.em.gee) and the lushness of a city park. And, of course, any amazing e-session ends with a food truck! Enjoy these gorgeous photos of precious Tracey + Efren, and stay tuned for their wedding photos soon!
Anthony + Christy::Surprise Proposal::Atlanta
When Anthony contacted us and asked us to participate in his proposal to his then-girlfriend, Christy, we were beside ourselves with excitement. Would we be a part of it? You BET we would!! Anthony had decided to propose to Christy at FAB (French-American Brasserie), an amazing restaurant in Atlanta, and knew that he wanted beautiful photos of the whole experience that he and Christy could treasure for a lifetime. Jen, one of our absolutely amazing Atlanta photogs, was chosen for this covert operation, and Anthony set up his plan. Jen arrived to FAB early and was placed at a table directly facing where Anthony and Christy would be sitting.
Anthony and Christy came in, sat down, and Jen acted like a normal diner until the second the Anthony got down on his knee. Then BAM! Jen got to work doing her thang….and we are all in LOVE with the result. We are so blessed that Anthony asked us to be a part of this….and that after this experience Christy and Anthony asked us to shoot their wedding as well! Enjoy, sweet OLAS fam, and leave Anthony and Christy some love!
Vonda + Donny::Engagement in Virginia
Ya’ll….we LOVE this engagement session. Seriously, love, love, love this engagement session. Vonda and Donny are horse people, living in horse country in Virginia, and knew that they wanted to incorporate the equestrian look and feel into their sessions. OLAS co-founder Cali came out of mini-photography-retirement (ha!) to shoot this amazing session in the countryside of Virginia at Vonda’s beautiful farm and oh.em.gee. We are SWOONING. Their session was filled with their beautiful property, their precious farm animals, and a sweet evening romantic dinner. Sweet Vonda and Donny are getting married next week in Keswick, Virginia….and we know their wedding is going to be just as beautiful as this session!

Lindsay + Alex::Engagement
We’ve been on a bit of a wedding kick lately, and we figured it’s time to bring you some engagement goodness for this Monday afternoon. Most of the country is unseasonably cold and trying to stay warm….so we knew today was the day to bring you Lindsay + Alex’s engagement photos. Our extraordinary husband and wife photog team, Philip + Anna, met Lindsay and Alex on what had to be the absolute HOTTEST day of the year in Atlanta, so we’re hoping some of the warmth of the day emits through the computer wherever you are (what, this can’t happen? I thought it was 2011?) We LOVE the light, airy feel of this session, and some of our fav shots are the ones where you can faintly see the Atlanta skyline in the background. Love, love!! We’re so excited about shooting Lindsay + Alex’s big day at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in June 2012….we love these two! xoxo
Katie + Matt – Engagement
Happy Friday, OLAS lovies! We hope you all have had a fabulous week, and have fun plans for the weekend! To kick off the weekend a little early, we have the really adorable engagement of Katie + Matt (shot by our amazing Carla)! Tying the knot next April, these love birds spent a lovely Spring day playing one of the best games of all time: Scrabble 
We are also in love with the little field they found – beautiful trees and a rustic wooden fence?? What more can we ask for? Just about the cutest couple we’ve ever seen, here are just a few of our favorites from Katie + Matt’s engagement session! Congratulations – we can’t wait to work with you again in April!
We know we’ll be grabbing a scrabble board and taking it to a beautiful park this weekend….and if you’d like to join us to chat about your own engagement session, be sure to contact us at info@oncelikeaspark.com! xoxo
