MICHAELA & LUCAS
"My husband and I booked Shania and Justin to shoot our wedding day and they are absolutely the most sweetest, kind, and patient photographers that you will ever meet! Justin and Shania are very knowledgeable at taking photos. They helped us posed, and never once leaving us confused of what to do next for a photo or never once feeling awkward. They gave us very clear directions and always made my husband and I feel like we were on top of the world! They put all of their hearts into what they do, you can tell they love what they do! They were only supposed to shoot our wedding for up to 8 hours but ended up staying for 9-9.5 hours because they wanted to stay and take more photos, never pushed to leave earlier once. We can’t ever imagine choosing another photographer. They made everything run by so smoothly and I thank them so much!"

"These two are such a blast to work with! Even though my fiance and I aren’t the most comfortable in front of the camera, they helped so much with poses, lighting, encouragement, and making the whole experience so fun. I love how they truly captured our genuine smiles and joy in the moment. Looking back on these pictures always puts a smile on my face! Would highly recommend Oleson Photography for ANY occasion!"

FAQ
do you offer other packages for weddings?
We only offer a full day, 8 hour coverage for weddings. The reasons are personal as Justin and I only had 4 hours of coverage at our wedding day. We had no idea that weddings almost ALWAYS go longer than you plan. If you are interested in reading more of the story as to why we only do full day coverage click HERE
Are the travel expenses included in your packages?
Yes. We are located in Sterling, AK. Travel fees apply to sessions located in Nikiski, Girdwood, Seward, Homer, Anchorage, Wasilla, Palmer, and beyond. Travel fees do not apply to Kasilof, Kenai, or Soldotna.
do you give any tips as to what to wear for our photo session?
Yes we do! We also mention colors to wear and avoid based on the season. We advise against graphic t-shirts, logos, and neon colors. Don’t wear too tight or too baggy of clothing.

How do i prep for my family shoot with small children?
We love getting inquiries from families with kids as they turn out to be the most precious images ever! But the only way we can help those kiddos bring out their genuine smiles is a mixture of different things. Our blog HERE goes into how to prepare your family for your session with Oleson Photography
