No one is better than olga polo

Olga and her team’s work speaks for itself — it is the highest quality, it has its own defined style, and it effortlessly captures the immensely powerful emotions during the most special moments of your lifetime. Leading up to my wedding, I found myself saving my favorite, dream wedding photography and Olga was the common denominator of all of these photos. From the first time my fiancé (now husband) and I met with her, we were beyond impressed. Olga is a visionary, understands and works with your vibe, and is the most fun, lively, and brilliant spirit. Olga and Victoria were the dynamic duo that took our engagement photos and afterwards my husband and I were on a high — even before she posted the most special pictures of our lives, the shoot itself was one of the most incredible experiences during our wedding journey. They gave us perfect direction on how to move while capturing authentic, candid photos of us — plus, we had an absolute blast. Once the pictures were shared with us and posted from the engagement shoot, no matter where we went, everyone was talking about them. They’re stunning, genuine, heartfelt, and incredibly special to us. Olga and her team has a gift unlike anything I’ve ever seen or experienced before. Victoria took the lead on our wedding day photos along with Ali and Vlad and I’ve only seen previews, but I’m already blown away. I have full confidence we will look back on these and cherish them for the rest of our lives. My husband and I will absolutely be reaching back out to Olga and her team for every milestone ahead of us and I could not recommend her more. It feels amazing to how found such a gem and talent. Full out sprint, do not walk, to book them!!

Captured it all!

Olga was simply fantastic! For two people who have no good pictures together prior to our marriage, she made us look amazing. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured big and little moments of our elopement. Because it was just the two of us this was really important to show our friends and family our special day. Positive, upbeat, professional, and an amazing photographer!

Best Decision

Olga Polo is excellent! I planned my wedding which took place in the Cincinnati area while I was living in New Jersey and working with Olga was very easy, she was flexible meeting with me when I was able to visit town and was able to coordinate and finalize plans with me over e-mail. I also couldn’t do an engagement session or getting ready photos that day but her warm personality and ability to dive right in made me feel like she had been with us the whole time, she didn’t miss a beat.
She is so creative and knows how to improvise. We took outdoor wedding party photos before the ceremony at a local park and with a few minutes to spare, Olga suggested an even better outdoor setting since she knew a beautiful nearby flower/garden location. Those pictures ended up being some of my favorites. She also offered awesome suggestions for the groomsmen to incorporate their gifts as props!
She has great energy and gave great directions and ideas for poses and kept the whole process fun and she never made me feel nervous if I was running behind schedule. My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos and we cherish the photos themselves, as well as the memories we made during them. They still take my breath away even though I’ve been married for a year now. I can’t thank her enough for capturing our wedding in such a beautiful way. I highly recommend her to everyone – you can trust that your photos will be great if you go with her! I continue to follow her on Instagram and her photos are always amazing. Thank you, Olga!

BEST DECISION - We will use Olga for life!!

Olga completely blew our minds with all of our photos. She brought out expressions in my husband and I that I never knew could be captured. Our wedding was 4 months ago and we are still receiving compliments on how great our photos turned out. She made me feel so at ease when I was stressed for the big day, reminding me to breathe and to have fun - her compassion was huge! I felt like we had known her forever throughout the entire process. She took so many great photos that we didn't even need a videographer - she caught everything through photos. I will cherish our wedding and engagement photos forever and I can't wait to use Olga for every monumental moment in our lives! Olga was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. Olga, I cannot thank you enough!!

Beyond my expectations

Olga Polo is the absolute best. Her gallery of pictures online and the pictures from her Instagram confirm that. What those things don't show you is how amazing she is to work with. I have never met anyone more passionate about their job. She makes the entire experience so fun. From the moment she entered my hotel room on my wedding day, I felt energized. Her energy is absolutely contagious. She helps you relax and makes you smile genuine smiles with her compliments and interactions. Her attention to detail makes for amazing photographs. She is creative with her poses and gets so excited about the things she sees through her lenses. Words cannot even capture how amazing it was to work with her. If you are considering her for your wedding or other lifestyle photography need, you better book quickly. I am absolutely lucky and thankful to have worked with her on my wedding day and will continue to book her services for any other photography sessions that arise in my lifetime.

Olga and her partner truly captured our essence

I am still beyond amazed by these pictures. We keep getting compliments. My sister-in-law, who isn’t even engaged, said “I want her to photograph my wedding.” I struggle with seeing myself as beautiful and after these pictures I feel like I actually am gorgeous! She did a combination of posed portraits and exquisite candid photos to really capture who we are as a couple. For the ceremony and reception, we were able to see moments we didn’t even know were happening! Olga also did a wonderful job managing everyone and making sure we didn’t get overwhelmed. We loved when they took us out of cocktail hour for a few minutes to capture stunning photos in the sunset. We would have missed this opportunity otherwise. Her style is completely unrivaled and I am still floored by how wonderful everything turned out. She also gave us a sneak peek a couple weeks after the wedding and our full edited photos about a month after the wedding. I cannot recommend Olga’s photography enough and I feel truly grateful she captured these moments for us to have forever.

Outstanding work, super professional and creative

Olga is an outstanding wedding photographer. Super professional and personal. She did an amazing job at capturing our wedding! The first look, ceremony, family photos, and bridal party photos turned out extraordinary. I have looked at them over and over again! She really did a great job at capturing the moment of the reception. She was able to get a lot of guest photos that I am super excited to share! Olga is absolutely amazing at what she is doing, she truly has a special talent and a creative eye, plus super easy to work with! We would recommend her to everyone!
Thanks, Olga, for creating such a special memories for us!

It was great ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Olga shot both our engagement photos and wedding photos, and I could not be happier with how they turned out. My wife and I are not models. I don't know how to pose in front of a camera and just assumed taking photos was going to be an awkward, uncomfortable experience. Then we got the photos back, and we were blown away. We didn't look awkward and uncomfortable. We looked relaxed and happy. Olga has an uncanny way to immediately put you at ease, direct you without "posing" you, and truly show off your personalities. We found that we actually enjoyed the photoshoot process, rather than dreading it, thanks to her fun personality, great support, and ability to capture the little moments. And her photos are stunning. I've received so many compliments on the photos. You can truly tell that she puts time and care into editing her photos. And, despite the time and effort it takes to edit photos, still managed to get us a "sneak peek" of photos over the wedding weekend! I did a ton of research on all my vendors while planning my wedding, and I don't think there's another photographer in Cincinnati that even comes close to Olga. You won't be disappointed if you choose her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
