The BEST there is!

We had been looking for a photographer a couple months before we found OC. We looked at website after website and were disappointed to see most of the packages available were rather bland and “cookie-cutter.” We were particularly disappointed to see that booking a photographer seemed akin to just getting someone scheduled to take pictures.

How pleasantly surprised we were when we first sat down with OC!

If you want someone who brings passion instead of templates to your wedding…someone who is an artist instead of someone who is just there taking pictures for five or six-hour blocks...then look no further than OC. When he told us he doesn’t charge by the hour—he charges by the event, I thought we’d merely have him for a little longer than expected. He was there from the minute my makeup started going on until the last dance of the evening. His endurance is impressive. He not only captured multiple angles of every moment, he included an extra location and never missed a beat—the entire day! Wedding days are long—and ours was no exception. He was there all day during the wedding and several meetings leading up to the big day. He is a true professional.

And really, by the time our wedding was over and we got the pictures, we knew OC and his brilliant work well enough to highly recommend him to everyone for a variety of events. He is absolutely the best there is.

Prodigious

OC Yousif is one of the greatest photographers out there. We finally got our photos he pictured every single moment that we hoped will be captured. The timing, angle, where both like something out of a magazine.My husband and I are usually not photogenic , but OC Yousif made us look like a fairy tale couple. He also did an incredible job keeping us on our time schedule. He was very punctual and made sure we were on track for everything. With how hectic our wedding day was that is something that we really needed and he made sure he delivered on that. We highly recommend him and we'll be very sure that we use him in the future. I feel like he is going to be well-known and famous for his work in the future so I'm glad we caught him to work with him when we did.

Amazing wedding photographer

We can’t say enough good things about OC. He made our wedding photos a fun and enjoyable experience. OC has a vibrant, warm, and friendly personality. He was great at giving us poses and instructions to make sure we looked our best. We were extremely happy with the quality of his work.

Wedding photos

10/10 would recommend OC for your wedding photographer. He exceeded our expectations in every way, it was such a pleasure working with someone so well rounded.

Great communication skills, responds quickly and is easy to talk to. Listens and adds his professional input when needed, this was much appreciated because I can be indecisive. Oc is also friendly and confident in his work which put us at ease.

Prompt, was early the day of my wedding ceremony. Efficient and got my wedding photos back to me edited quickly.

Professional and very talented at what he does. I can tell he is passionate about his job and this really reflects in the quality of his work. OC worked well together with Fadi who assisted him with lighting equipment. We felt we were in good hands with both of them.

OC was able to guide us in posing for each photo, he was very patient with us. We would be lost without his directions to be honest, he corrected our posture, the way my hair lied, where we held our hands and bouquet, etc. Bless his heart for constantly fixing my dress train, this really made all the difference in all the photos.

The quality of the photos blew me away especially for the price. I am not the most photogenic person so I was so worried prior to going into the photoshoot but there really was no need to stress. I was so blown away by my photos, they were so dreamy and breath taking. OCs photo editing is also on point. I loved that he was able to put together a quick video with highlights from our wedding photos.

Lastly, I really admired OC as a person he was very thoughtful. Whether it’s offering a ride, Starbucks pick me up-he is the type of person who puts others first. Hope to work with OC again one day in the future : )

OC Yousif is Professional, Friendly, and Flexible

We absolutely loved working with OC! We initially met him last year and we liked his personality right away. He was honest and I liked his past work. What sold me was when he explained to me he charged by the day, not hour which is not the norm, but he was right, a wedding doesn't just last a few hours!
He responds very quickly and had great ideas that I hadn't thought of yet, showing he has alot of experience. Unfortunately since our wedding was postponed, we decided to elope. I changed locations and dates multiple times, but OC was always very flexible and responsive during this. During our elopement shoot, he even went above and beyond to take many photos of us, and I'm so grateful he did, because I loved it all! He made us feel comfortable and excited for it and took great shots, as well as some funny ones.
I cannot wait till our wedding reception to have even more memories photographed by OC, because I know he does his best to capture it all perfectly.

Top Of the Line Photographer

We have nothing but great things to say about working with OC. From the beginning it was easy to see his passion for photography and knowledge of his trade. We initially met OC at the bridal bazaar and instantly knew he was our top choice based on our interaction with him and his portfolio. Before signing any contracts he was upfront and honest about what to expect in hiring a wedding photographer, and never pressured us into anything. Hiring OC was the best decision we made for our wedding process. During our engagement shoot, everything transitioned smoothly between shots. He made the occasion fun and light hearted while still seeing that focus behind the lens, making sure the moments were captured. He remained in contact with us throughout the editing process and lead up to the wedding; our familiarity working with OC allowed us to feel comfortable knowing our special day would be remembered perfectly.

On the day of the wedding, OC and his crew arrived and began taking landscape and set ups shots before our bridal party arrival. When we did, he was eager to work his craft while never making us feel taken aback from the moment. We can’t say enough about how easy it was working with OC, let me say, he conducted and captured our first look, WITH PERFECTION!! OC worked with us throughout the evening, making sure we captured shots with those we wanted as well as him following the events of our reception.

His post production detail was quite evident upon our receipt of our digital copies, his pictures were absolutely beautiful! Let me summarize by this; OC has a great personality, works with you and listens to what it is you are looking for, and of course, the results of his craft are absolutely amazing! Thank you so much OC for being a part of our day and documenting it so well. Not only will we look back on our pictures for the rest of our lives, but we made a friend in the process.

Friendly, Funny, Flexible, and Fantastic!

OC was one of our favorite vendors!! We met him at the Bridal Bazaar and are so glad we did. He was so flexible in finding a package that would work for our needs and budget. He was exceedingly nice (and funny) throughout the whole process. He did both our engagement and wedding photos which were absolutely amazing. He had no time limit for our package and went way above and beyond to get all the locations we wanted for the engagement and to get such great photos from morning to night at our wedding. We had many compliments not only on the photos, but OC being so friendly and fun at the wedding! We would highly recommend OC to everyone. He is the best!

OC Truly Captured the Magic!

To say we loved OC is an understatement. My husband and I had such a great experience working with him and would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat!!! Working with OC on our special day was honestly our favorite part of the day.

OC was extremely professional but also had such a fun personality. He helped keep our mood upbeat with lots of laughter, which is greatly appreciated since we did have several mishaps throughout the day.

His pictures came out beautiful! The lightening, the crisp clear images, and the fun natural poses all contributed to such gorgeous pictures that we will enjoy for a lifetime. He truly listened to the type of photos we wanted (light, fun and goofy) and captured it all perfectly. I'm shocked that the quality of his work was as affordable as it was. OC even did some last minute photoshop (due to a venue mistake) for no extra cost!

Our wedding had some mishaps and most of it seemed like such a blur, but OC was our shining light to the madness of the day and we couldn't be more thankful for choosing him as our photographer! Thank you OC!

OC is the best!

OC photographed our wedding in June 2019 and he was one of the best vendors I hired. He spent the entire day with us and made sure that all my needs were met (including a Starbucks run). He paid attention to the specific pictures I asked for and made sure to capture all the details of my perfect day. One of the things that stuck out to me about the quality of his work is when I had guests leave early and OC quit eating his dinner so he could capture some pictures of the guests and myself; I thought that was very admirable and really showed that he puts his clients first. I felt so worry free having OC there and I am so very appreciative that I have his work to look back on and remember my beautiful day. Hiring OC is one of the best decisions a bride can make!
