About

 

I am Olga, a wedding photographer based in Olney, Maryland.

My love for photojournalism originated in my home city, Saint- Petersburg, where I studied cultural arts and photography. That is when I fell in love with the beauty of classical art and the interplay of light and color.

After moving to Maryland over 15 years ago, I kept my passion for visual arts and studied film at the New York Institute of Photography.

 

Nine years ago, a friend asked me to shoot my first wedding, and I was blown away! Since then, I've been enamored with the art of wedding photography.

 

My daughter used to assist me as a model and second shooter until she pursued her passion in media and graphic design.

 

We share our home with my husband, who supports my photography career, even though it often means I am not home on weekends or holidays, and 2 rescue black cats, Sasha and Sam.

 

I find creative inspiration during my favorite moments – walks in the park at sunrise. The tranquility of nature and the quiet surroundings fuel my creative energy.

meet the Team

Jehan, the second photographer, and Glen, the videographer. Teamwork is key in photography and videography – it's all about coordinating, sharing perspectives, and ensuring we capture every angle, adding that extra flair to create a killer visual story.

Jehan is a master of interpersonal communication. He has the knack for making the wedding party burst into laughter.

Glen works discreetly and subtly, almost like a fly on the wall, yet he doesn't miss a single detail.

Meet Vlada, my fantastic video editor! Over the 2 years we have worked together, she has been the main force that assembles all the moments into a great story. Fresh out of Film School in Krakow, she's all about storytelling and has a killer eye for detail.

Katerina, assistant. wedding dress fluffier, with a repertoire of 10 moves to make that train look picture-perfect. She got biceps of steel from lugging those heavy equipment around. Total powerhouse behind the scenes!
