Allison Sent on 07/28/2019Grateful, Amazing, Worth It, Wonderful
To be honest, my husband did not want to hire Olga, nor any photographer to come to our destination wedding.. he thought it was a bit "extra". Needless to say, Olga came and before the weekend was over, hubby was singing a different tune.
Olga kept the party on time, moving along and was more than jsut a photographer. Olga was a planner, makeup artist, DJ, director and more.
Her photos speak for themselves- they are beautiful! My favorite part of looking through every photo is truly seeing my friends and family's personality. The memories, emotions- they were all captured so perfectly.
I have now used Olga for my boudoir photoshoot (totally recommend doing, btw!) our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, wedding week and have already booked her for our upcoming maternity and newborn shoots! The photos that she took of me and my husband together, are the most precious photos we have ever had together. I see them and still get all the feels that we were having that day. The emotion was captured and that, to me, was the most important.
With so many photographer options, we still feel the best about sticking with Olga. Her work is worth it all! -

Alena P. Sent on 08/25/2023Amazing Experience with Olga!
My husband and I recently got married and had the honor of having Olga capture our day. We couldn't have made a better choice! Olga is such a talented professional. Not only did she capture our day, including all of the small details, but she was so easy and fun to work with. She is kind, cares about her clients, and aspires to make your vision come to life. I would highly recommend Olga to anyone looking for not only great photos but also a wonderful experience! -

Tina Sent on 07/30/2019Amazing photographer!!!
There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Olga is!!!!!!! I am extremely self conscious and insecure and Olga made me feel beautiful!!!!!! Our engagement photos were awesome and I can’t wait to see the wedding photos! She pays so much attention to the details that you want to remember and does an amazing job of focusing on what your strengths are! I just love her and she is forever our photographer!!! -

We are so lucky to have found her. Our life is captured so beautifully. I know I'll look back at these photos one day and be glad I took the time to do the shoots!!!

Sarah Sent on 09/14/2011Olga is absolutely fantastic to work with! I loved her from the beginning! She has extremely competitive pricing, and the photos you get from her are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Know in advance you will only be getting photo discs, so if you need your photographer to give you prints, don't bother calling her.
I worked with Olga for both engagement photos and wedding photos. She knows what looks best in photos, and she will work with you to make sure you get your moneys worth. I ended up with almost 900 photos from my wedding day!!
Plan on meeting with Olga a few times. She likes to meet with the couple before committing to their wedding. Then she likes to stake out the photo locations so you can be efficient on your wedding day!
Since she is such a pro in the business, she has all sorts of suggestions for other vendors if you need help looking!
I plan on using Olga for all future portraits of my family! LOVE her!

User1191275 Sent on 06/07/2013We enjoyed working with Olga and as a couple we loved her personality. Her photos (at least our engagement photos...haven't seen the wedding ones yet) are good. She is not the most responsive vendor so if you are looking for a photographer that will shoot specific shots you saw on Pinterest, she may not be the one for you. I sent example pictures for our engagement shots and I don't think we ever referenced them. I didn't do that for the wedding because I didn't think it would matter. For us, we were more easy going on that end and it wasn't upsetting.
Our guests at the wedding were slightly put off by Olga's sometimes abrasive approach. My husband and I didn't take offense to it because we knew she had a job to do on a time crunch and if she wasn't assertive it would have taken forever. And in her defense, people did not listen all that well:)
Also, it will take a while to get your photos. I know that some photographers get them out very quickly, but Olga works alone and seems to shoot many weddings, therefore, expect to wait for many months. Our contract says 3 months, I believe she recently changed it to 4. I'm thinking they will be worth the wait.
Also, you get two CD's - one black and white and one color. The images are high quality and can be printed to a large size - very important! Be sure to ask you photographer about this! Many CD's you get can only print 8x10's clearly.
We were very happy with Olga, love her pictures, and enjoyed working with her. She is very professional the day of and shows up on time giving you your full 12 hours...yes, 12 hours! -
User1282471 Sent on 08/12/2013Overall, we were very disappointed with hiring Olga as our photographer for our wedding. First of all she lost our engagement pictures and we had to retake them less then 2 month before our wedding. And then some of the pictures from our actually wedding were lost as well. I thought since it happened with the engagement picture that she would really be on her "A game" for our wedding; but we were wrong. And trying to get ahold of her after to get our wedding pictures (which she told us 2 months) took around 4months and we are still waiting on pictures today that her company lost/misplaced that we will never see. Besides that she is impossible to get a hold of. I had to try voicemail (that was always full), email, and Facebook before she ever responded. As a client I felt this was very unprofessional and made my wedding feel not very important to her.
For the pictures she missed a lot of key moments at the ceremony and reception. Also, several member of our wedding party and guest complained that she was not friendly, rude, and hard to find at the reception portion of the wedding; which I agree from lack of pictures. I was very disappointed and would not recommend her to anyone. This is the only part of my wedding that I wish I could have a do-over with! -

AVOID OLGA AT ALL COSTS!!! SHE DELETED OUR NEWBORN SESSION AND WAITED WEEKS TO TELL US.
She is CARELESS, UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE. Do NOT use this woman for any important event in your life.
Olga was recommended to me by another local Milwaukee photographer to photograph my newborn twins. At 7 weeks old they were already older than most other babies sitting for a newborn session (due to my son's NICU stay) and I was assured Olga was great with older babies. The shoot day went great, she set up nice shots and the babies cooperated wonderfully.
Fast forward a month, I have not received any communication from Olga and the photos were supposed to have been sent to us 2-3 weeks after the shoot. I emailed her multiple times and sent text messages. FINALLY I got a response with the worst news. SHE DELETED THE SESSION AND ALL THE PHOTOS WERE LOST.
Photos I cannot get back. A moment in time I cannot get back. Devastated was an understatement.
In her explanation, she labeled our shoot as "twins" in her computer and deleted the session thinking it was another client's session. I can't believe how unprofessional that is, someone who does this for a living being so careless. She also waited WEEKS to let me know this happened. I could have found another photographer in the meantime since my babies were still so small, they looked like newborns. But she robbed us of our photos and the chance to fix the problem.
She said she would refund us the $700.00 I paid (I actually had to send the Venmo request to her since she wasn't sending the money right away) and she offered two free photo shoots as an apology. I felt like this was a fair compromise even with how upset my family was, at least we could have some nice family photos with the twins now that they're older.
Guess what, SHE REFUSES TO ANSWER MY EMAILS. Completed ghosted us, no response, no nothing. I got one text saying she will "email me tomorrow morning" and that was a month ago.
She is CARELESS, UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE. Do NOT use this woman for any important event in your life.Wedding Society's reply:
Dear Ala, I want to start by expressing my deep disappointment in the tone and content of your review, as it appears to contain inaccurate and defamatory statements about both my professional capabilities and personal character. I appreciate your feedback, although I must express my disappointment that you chose to share your thoughts on an unrelated platform, potentially impacting my reputation in an unfair manner. I would like to begin by apologizing for the unfortunate incident surrounding the deletion of your newborn photos. I take full responsibility for this error, and I deeply regret any distress it may have caused you. The deletion of your folder was one of the very few mistakes I have done in my 15 years of being in business. Please understand that my intention was never to diminish the significance of those captured moments or undermine your trust. I truly recognize and appreciate the emotional value attached to newborn photographs. Upon discovering the deletion, immediate action was taken to rectify the situation. I promptly issued a full refund to ensure that you were not financially impacted by my mistake. Furthermore, I personally reached out to you to express my sincerest apologies and offered complimentary sessions as a gesture of goodwill and an opportunity to create new memories for you and your family. I understand that these attempts to make amends may not have met your expectations, and for that, I apologize for any further disappointment caused. I would like to emphasize that I am an experienced photographer who takes great pride in providing excellent care to all my clients and the number of clients and years in business reflect the quality of the service and the level of photography that I provide for my clients. That's why another reputed photographer referred you to me and I can't express the amount of guilt and distress I have felt knowing that I've let you down. Client satisfaction and professionalism are at the core of my business values, and it is disheartening to hear that you feel otherwise. While I understand your frustration and disappointment, I wish that you would've approached this situation with respect and understanding.
Wishing you and your family all the best.
Olga
