    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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!

    Words can not even describe how amazing of a team Jessica and Critty are! From the moment we met we knew that they were the perfect fit for us. They truly went above and beyond what we expected from our wedding photographers. They are extremely approachable and easy to work with. We really appreciated all of the hard work and effort that they put into making this experience feel personalized and special. Although we live in New Jersey, they kept us involved over Facetime and email. This was so helpful while planning a destination wedding in Charleston. We could not be happier with our engagement and wedding pictures. We can look at our photos and really feel the love and happiness from our wedding day. They are so focused on making sure you have the best moments captured on film. I HIGHLY recommend choosing Jessica and Critty to be apart of your day. Not only will you have a very talented photography team there for you, but you will have the most genuine, caring couple supporting you throughout the day!

    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.

    We could not recommend the Smiths more! There are not enough words to describe the experience we had with them. We love how natural all of our photos are and they truly captured our relationship. They are so personable, laid back, and knowledgeable about what they do. You can truly tell they are so passionate about their work and it is shown in the prints, photos, and demeanor. We are so thankful we had them for our day and will continue to use them for family pictures to come!

    Jessica and Critty were absolutely amazing to work with! They were on top of everything every step of the way (and even went above and beyond to help coordinate with our planner). They made the photo shoots so relaxed you just felt like you were hanging with your best friends, yet they captured every moment so perfectly! My favorite thing that they did during our reception was they pulled us away for a few minutes and created time for us to take a moment and take everything in. We will remember and cherish those moments forever! We cannot thank you enough!

    If you want to make the best decision for your wedding, go with the Smiths!!! The Smiths were perfect! I hate photos of myself but I want to put wallpaper all over my house with their photos! They captured all the moments we were looking and so many that we didn't even know were happening. I received so many compliments on the photos and a lot of people didn't even realize they were at the wedding because they just blended in. I loved how they took the time to get a list of the photos I wanted and captured in a style that was "us." I am not one for those cheesy photos but felt these photos captured us and our moment!!! I wish I could get married every week or at least have them follow me around documenting my life! Love them both and will definitely be using them again as a family photographer since it will be hard to compete with perfect!

    The Smiths have been my go-to photographers for all my family pictures and my wedding was no different. The pictures are amazing and I'm totally in love with them. The Smiths worked in all our requests and captured all of our special moments. They did all that without being obtrusive - I barely knew they were around but they were quietly in the wings capturing everything. Thank you for the amazing momentos of our special day!

    The Smiths Do Love is not just the name of their business, but an apposite reflection of their care and interest in more than the event. Jessica and Critty demonstrate their own chemistry as they mingle with guests, assess the wants, needs, and emotions of each person surrounding the betrothed.

    Dan and I had a more personal link to Jessica and Critty via the work relationship that turned into friendship with a natural ease. Critty was able to see my own personal development in the office as I adjusted to being (finally) out of the closet. With such open grace and compassion he helped me feel comfortable in the Charleston area and then after finding out I was engaged to Dan and the wedding date was set, he offered us the most incredible gift-- professional photography of our otherwise modest backyard wedding.

    Jessica and Critty went above and beyond what was necessary at any point to accommodate the dynamic personalities within my family, knowing that in an unconventional wedding there would be opportunities for creative shots. From our cats to the Norwegian Kransekake, they knew exactly what to focus on with their lenses.

    Their skill was demonstrated in the seamless mingling among guests, assistance in the operations and flow of the all-day open house approach we decided to have. There is no doubt that their goal is the experience, the love, and making the day perfect for the happy couple.

    Dan and I cannot speak highly enough about how positive the day went and how much it meant to us to have the support and wonderful photos from the best day of our lives. We are writing this review from our honeymoon in Madeira, reflecting on the power of our wedding day and the friendship that empowered us to step into the rest of our lives. We will forever appreciate the Smiths and what they did for us!

    Jessica and Critty did our wedding photos and they absolutely blew us away. They were so easy to work with, helped us stay in our budget, and let us choose exactly the services we needed. They also shot our engagement and bridal portraits. We were so nervous for our engagement pics but they put us at ease immediately and we had a blast! We hung out and talked for an hour afterwards! Also, Jessica worked a miracle at my bridal portraits! Everything was working against us, the weather, the traffic, the mosquitoes...but Jess kept me calm and got some absolutely amazing shots. And of course on the day of our wedding they could not have been any better. Jess and Critty both went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied and soaking in the moment. They told us at the beginning of the day that they would make us cry and definitely did! Throughout the day they would remind us to stop and take a moment to realize how special the day was and to reflect on all the wonderful memories we were making! They went above and beyond to make sure our day was special! They felt like old friends by the end of the day and we know that they will be our friends for life! And of course the pictures are perfect!!! They captured all the emotion and love we felt that day and my heart skips a beat every time I look at our photos. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer!

    I honestly couldn't say enough great things about Smith Photos + Ink We had the pleasure of working with Jessica and Critty and they were extremely professional! We live in CT and got married in Charleston so most of the planning was over Facetime and it was so easy to work with them! We felt Jessica and Critty really took the time to get to know us and understand what photos were important to us and they captured all of moments that we really wanted. The photos that we received are absolutely GORGEOUS and we received them earlier than anticipated. Again, they were such a pleasure to work with! We would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

    We were so happy and fortunate to have had Jessica and Critty captured our very special day. Not only they are amazing photographers and artists who love what they do, they are incredible people. We enjoyed working with them greatly! From the very first meeting Jessica and Critty made it very easy and comfortable for us. They genuinely wanted to get to know us, hear our ideas and thoughts, learn about our plans for the wedding and make sure they know our closest family and friends.
    On the day of the wedding Jessica and Critty were with us and our guests at all times taking pictures but not intefering with what was going on. The results are amazing! They managed to capture moments and emotions associated with them and tell a story about our wedding day in a intimate natural way. Every time we look at our pictures we relive our wedding day over again. We highly recommend them!

    Jessica and Critty were awesome and did an amazing job taking our engagement photos in Charleston. Everything from ironing out the location/pricing details, organizing hair/makeup, the shoot, and receiving the photos were just as expected and could not have gone smoother. These two were a pleasure to be around, made the photo session relaxed/fun, and anyone would be lucky to work with them.

    We hired Smith photos + ink for our engagement and wedding photos. From the beginning Jessica was great to work with - super fast communication, answered all our questions, very affordable, and truly captured the look we wanted. She walked around with us for hours in downtown Charleston for our engagement photos and got almost every look from my Pinterest board. We got all of our pictures back quickly and through a super easy online download. Jessica had her husband, Critty, and an assistant to photograph our wedding and we got so many awesome pics back. They were with us the whole wedding day, and they treat you like a close friend and not someone who just hired them to show up. We have loved working with them from day 1 and we will definitely have more photoshoots with them in the future

    Jessica and Critty are absolutely amazing! Our Engagement and Wedding photographs turn out absolutely perfect. We could not have asked for better pictures. They truly represented who we are as a couple. We love all of them! Jessica and Critty were also super easy to work with. They have an awesome way of making us feel totally relaxed and normal while being photographed. We love that the majority of our photos are action shots and not too posy and staged. We will no doubt be using them for any other major events in our lives!
