I have worked with Bonne for years. We have worked together on weddings and I witness her professionalism and creativity as she shoots, always making the bride and groom feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not only have we worked together, but Bonne has done portraits for me on many different occasions and the photos are so special to me. Bonne has a great eye for composition and light, and always makes me feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera.

Once Like a Spark Wedding Co.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,845
  • Serves Athens, AL

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

After being given a long list of wedding photographer vendors from our venue, Once Like A Spark really stood out to us not only because of their name but also because their portfolio of pictures was exactly the vibe we were looking for in our wedding photos. This company was extremely easy to work with and their communication was awesome! They have different team members designated for each stage of planning so you know you’re getting the attention you need during a stressful time. We used OLAS for our September 2023 wedding. We opted for a second photographer after originally booking only one and they made the addition seamless to our contract! You are able to choose your primary photographer and we chose Matt (a former Bruins photographer, which my husband loved :)) and he could not have been more professional and focused the day of the wedding! Our second photographer was wonderful too! Both were detail oriented and made us so excited to see the shots they got! We received our gallery 5 weeks after the wedding, which was earlier than we expected, and were totally blown away! Our photographers nailed it! We cannot recommend OLAS enough! 10 out of 10 experience!

  • Serves Athens, AL

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

Emma was an absolute dream to work with! Quick to respond to messages; very helpful with location scouting and wardrobe choices. She promised to have our gallery edited and delivered within 2 weeks of our shoot date and she did not disappoint! My fiancé and I are absolutely in love with our photos - they're everything we had hoped for, and then some! I sent Emma a plethora of inspo photos on Pinterest and now I feel like I have my very own Pinterest board of photos that are all of me and my fiancé - they are perfection! We hope to work with Emma again in the future - cannot recommend her enough!

I'm Autumn. Baker, reader, musical-lover, photographer. I love experiencing art in every form, and I'm discovering I love creating it too. For so long there has been a bubble around art, and a body guard dictating who can or can't enjoy or create it. I'm all about bending, breaking, and recreating ancient and archaic rules. There is no one saying what you can or can't create. And if there is, I'm right there with you to block out the noise. With me, you can recreate the stuff of dreams. Absolute magic.

Autumn did a wonderful job photographing our wedding. She also did our engagement photos. She is very professional but also knows how to have a good time. She is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. She was always on time and always kept in touch with any updates and what we had scheduled with her. I would recommend her if anyone is looking for a photographer. The photos came out lovely. Thank you for being apart of our special day.

When my hair and makeup team was running late, LaDonna stepped in with her calming presence and expert experience to ensure I remained poised and picture-ready. And my husband, who is typically camera-shy, raved about how comfortable and at-ease Demetrius made him feel, resulting in some of the most genuine and joyful photos we've ever seen.

EDITORIAL MEETS DOCUMENTARY If you're looking for a photographer who captures the little moments and preserves your day in the way it happened, while bringing in the feel of curated images and an elevated experience, you're in the right place. Images will be created by curating artistic images with posing & prompts, while eliminating the feeling of your day being a production and capturing the real things as they happen. True-to-life and true-to-color is the vibe here to give you photos you'll want to share and hang on your walls until the end of time. If you're looking for magical, intentional photos that just scream you, let's connect.

Hannah is an absolute professional. She takes her time, listens to what you want, offers you suggestions when you don't know what to do or to improve upon your ideas, takes care of any and all editing, and presents you with an end result that is exactly what you've hoped to receive and more. We've used Hannah for several shots and will continue to do so. Honestly, there is no reason to look for anyone else. We've yet to have a bad shot or a bad experience book her while spots are avaliable!

AMANDA. ARTIST. EXPLORER. COFFEE DRINKER. TIME MACHINE. So you just got engaged and you need a photographer. Documenting all that love is a wonderful gift for yourself and everyone who loves you. My superpower is being able to see your beauty the way the people who love you do, and then capture it in awesome photos of you so that you can see it too. And there’s no awkward posing or fake smiles involved. Just goofy fun and bad jokes, and you being yourself. So come see the world through my eyes. And maybe you’ll decide you’d like to see yourself through my eyes, to see yourself the way the folks who love you see you.

Amanda’s work speaks for itself. Her photography isn’t just a snapshot in time - she creates true art. She’s also super calm and easy going (a major plus on what can be a hectic day). From her portrait and group shots, to shots during the wedding, to still life shots of the cake, rings, or outfits, to journalistic style shots of the reception, she captures it all with a beautiful eye. What I love most is that her style is unique, with such stunning use of light and shadow. Her photography was easily the best thing we spent money on for our wedding. I highly recommend Amanda Summerlin Photography.

Hi! my name is Jackson Donald, and I grew up in Jackson, Mississippi where I have photographed most of my weddings. I'm now located in Tupelo, Mississippi where my wife, Anna, and I raise our family. I have loved wedding photography for many years, and am eager to share the special day with you!

Jackson was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. His communication style was easy, responsive, and kind, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of the work was truly stunning - he captured our special day in the most gorgeous, memorable way. Despite the rainy weather for our outdoor wedding, he made the most of the moody, dreamy conditions, and managed to capture breathtaking photos between the rain storms. The whole family felt comfortable with him, and he was able to capture us all naturally and beautifully. We could not be happier with the incredible photos that will allow us to relive our wedding day for years to come.

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, Texas, & now Mississippi!! What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I also just got married on August 31st, so I know how it feels to be both a service provider and a customer! My style of photography is more candid with a documentary style approach, but I do love a good editorial moment!

Angelina was a God send. She made my day feel so special she was so professional and friendly! She made sure to capture a lot of candid moments for us and the poses she suggested didn’t feel awkward or forced. The angles, the editing and the sheer amount of photos shows how much she made my day a priority. Thank you again!
