Wedding Photographers
here’s the thing…
One second you’re zipping up your dress or straightening your tie, and the next you’re hugging your grandma goodbye on the dance floor and walking off into the sunset.
You’re in love and planning a wedding — and suddenly your camera roll is full of centerpiece screenshots, venue inspo, and possibly your fiancé making “just one more spreadsheet.”
You want photos that feel like you — not stiff poses or awkward prom hands — but real moments.
Wind-tangled veils. Teary parents. Champagne fizz. The split second before the kiss when the whole world holds its breath.
We’re Olea & Co — a husband-and-wife, veteran-owned photography team based in Southern Maryland and serving Maryland, Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and beyond. We specialize in storytelling wedding photography that’s emotional, reverent when it matters, and joyfully unhinged when the dance floor opens.
From weddings at historic churches in Southern Maryland to vineyard celebrations in Loudoun County, Catholic nuptial Masses, backyard I-do’s, waterfront estates on the Chesapeake, historic D.C. rooftops and everything in between — we’re there documenting the loud laughs, quiet prayers, salsa-dancing tías and those sacred in-between moments most people miss.
This page is a collection of real wedding galleries — not styled shoots, not Pinterest fantasies — but real people in love. Click through a few. Notice the way they look at each other. Imagine yourself there.
If that makes your heart flutter just a little — you’re in the right place.
Just Two People in Love (and Us, Happily Third-Wheeling)
You bring the sparks, we’ll bring the cameras. Engagement sessions are the sweet spot where real connection meets cinematic storytelling—no stiff poses, no awkward prom hands, just the two of you being, well, you. Whether we’re wandering the cobblestone streets of Georgetown, chasing golden light through Calvert County fields, or stealing a few quiet moments by the Chesapeake Bay, we’ll capture the laughter, glances, and chaos that make your love story yours.
Because these aren’t just engagement photos, they’re the first chapter of your wedding story.
Small moments. Big feelings.
Photos that will outlive the cake.
