About

Olive & Co provides genuine imagery with all the feels for the wildly in love. You want a different wedding experience that is only yours, and you should have that kind of adventure.

You deserve to have your wedding day be a true reflection of your relationship and to enjoy every moment of your intimate and unique wedding day. Without the outside opinions, expectations, or low key drama. Rather than a big production engineered by what magazines, blogs, and everyone else thinks a wedding should be. You don’t have to be part of the “big machine” of the wedding industry.

Imagine having a wedding day where you promise your life to your partner and be truly focused on the each other and your relationship. Imagine sharing your vows in total intimacy, expressing your genuine self without fear of judgement. Ugly crying is allowed here. Here, you can choose you and your partner and this intimate experience.

You don't have to do your wedding the 'traditional' way.

It’s my greatest honor to give my all to you on your wedding day. I place ourselves in your shoes, say goodbye to my life and practice to serve you at my very best. I document this day exactly the way it is. I want you to look back on these photos and remember what you felt and what took place in those moments of your wedding day.

Life is hectic, messy, beautiful, and real. And it's happening fast. This means I get one chance to preserve the authentic way you were together on this day. Ie believe weddings photographs should matter because life matters. This is your real story and this day is a tiny view of it all. It is my job to tell that, and tell it well.

They completely understood our vision

Jess and Critty are more than we could have dreamed of for photographers. They shot our rehearsal dinner and the full day of our wedding. We got married on the one August day in North Carolina that was 70 and raining. So needless to say there was lots of adjusting. Jessica and Critty were amazing throughout the whole process and kept the focus on what truly mattered to us. From the talks we had before the wedding day to the photos we received after we could not have imagined better people to have part of our big day. My husband brings two kids to our marriage and we were very focused on their comfort and enjoyment of the day. Jessica and Critty kept that in mind, they never pushed, and seemed to catch all the right photos. Throughout the process I think we all became friends. The portraits they did for us are stunning and coming from two people that are not photogenic that says a lot. They got shots of us in the rain after the wedding that capture the day so perfectly. I cannot emphasize enough how impactful it was to have photographers that really understood our vision, honored it, captured it and truly made it better. Thank you both!

100% recommend!!

We can't recommend Jess + Critty enough! Not only do we absolutely love our wedding photos & have them displayed all throughout our house, they were extremely great and easy to work with. They provided constant communication with emails, facetime, texts which made planning a destination wedding so much easier.
They took the time to get to know us as more than just clients and day-of we were at such ease that we felt like we were being photographed by friends rather than someone we hired. They're a great team and we'd definitely hire them again for future photoshoots. 100% recommend!

I can't recommend them enough!

If I could give Jessica & Critty 100 out of 5 stars, I would.
When we made the decision for a small destination wedding I didn't think through many details other than we wanted to be in Charleston, SC. Jessica took the lead on finding a perfect location, suggesting a florist and even recommending her favorite restaurants around town. I'm not being dramatic when I say we could not have done this without her. The prep before the wedding was immensely helpful but I can't speak more highly of how wonderful they made us feel during the ceremony. They helped when we needed direction but also encouraged us do our own thing which made for the perfect, relaxing day. Their gorgeous images speak for themselves. Olive & Co are absolutely the photographers you want to share in your wedding and I'm so excited for every bride & groom that get to know and love them like we do!

Beautiful photos and fantastic to work with

We had such a fantastic experience working with Jessica and Critty (Olive & Co) and could not be happier with how our photos turned out from our wedding day. We would recommend them to anyone. Not only are they fantastic photographers who take beautiful photos, but they managed to capture some of the incredibly personal, sweet, and thoughtful unstaged moments and we absolutely love being able to have those fun moments forever. They are also fantastic people who put significant time and effort into getting to know you before your wedding, so they can help capture your personality, without it feeling forced at all. We had a small wedding (30 people) and with such an intimate setting, they fit right in among our friends and family. They were also instrumental in identifying locations in Charleston that fit our aesthetic for photos without being too touristy. They are also timely, responsive, and do a great job of managing expectations and timelines in advance. We had such a great experience working with them and would highly recommend them.

Gorgeous photos & special to work with

Love them!! Jessica really takes care to get to know her couples up front and learn what is important to them, and then focuses on those things. We had a very small wedding and just wanted to have fun and feel comfortable - and this was the perfect photographer for that. She put in tons of work to help things run smoothly on the day and made it look easy. Our photos turned out gorgeous, but also very us. Our sweet, silly, and unique moments were all captured beautifully. Could not be happier with our decision to go with them!

The very best

The Smiths are hands down AMAZING. Out of all the vendors we hired for our wedding, they were by far the best. They became way more than wedding photographers throughout the whole process, going above and beyond every step of the way. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and super super talented. They work together seamlessly and are so fun to be around! Our engagement photo session was SO much fun and the photos turned out better than I could have imagined. As far as the wedding day, they made sure everything ran smoothly and on time, and I'm positive it wouldn't have worked so well if we didn't have them there. They both fit into the day so well, it was just like having your best friends with you, but snapping pictures the whole time :) Jess saved the day dozens of times and Critty kept everyone laughing and at ease. One of their most impressive talents is the way that the capture the experience of your wedding- not just the standard wedding photographs.
We truly couldn't be happier that we chose them as our photographers, cannot say enough good things about them, and could not recommend them more.

Jessica + Critty are amazing. They bring passion, thoughtfulness, and emotion to everything they do. Our engagement and wedding photos were perfect - capturing our essence as a couple without being posed or uncomfortable. They took the time to understand our relationship and carried that through the entire process. They were part of our wedding, not just our photographers, and now, even new friends.

Jessica and Critty were the absolute best throughout our whole wedding adventure! After meeting with them and getting to know them and their style we knew that they were the ones we wanted to capture our wedding! They are truly genuine, down to earth people that will go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. They check in on you often and offer so much support. Charles and I really wanted the candid moments of our day captured with us interacting with our bridal party, family and guests and Jessica and Critty definitely delivered! We highly recommend choosing them to be a part of your special day!

The Smiths are absolutely incredible. They are everything and more that one would desire in a photographer. They are very responsive, always more than happy to answer any questions, and are truly dedicated to making sure you have the best experience possible. I am completely in love with the pictures from our photoshoot and am still in shock at how they captured our affection for one another in such a raw and natural way. Jessica is very sweet and made us feel so cared for and at ease during our session. 100% recommend!!

Our wedding pictures were more than we could have ever hoped for. Jessica and Critty are the absolute best! They captured so many genuine, joyful moments on our special day. Beyond the day-of experience and flawless final product, the Smiths really went above and beyond leading up to our wedding day by sending little notes of encouragement, helping us finalize scheduling details, and recommending alternate venues when our original site fell through. From our first meeting over iced coffee, we felt that they really wanted to get to know us as a couple. We took advantage of doing our engagement shoot with the Smiths as well, and we could not have felt more comfortable in front of the camera. Jessica and Critty really created an atmosphere that allowed our personalities and relationship to shine through the photos. We are planning to have them photograph us many more times in the years to come!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
