Absolutely THE BEST photographers out there. The two are a married couple and they are just so comfortable together. It really seems like they love what they do. Oden is silly and Janelle is sweet.
They captured every moment that I wanted, and then some. I got HUNDREDS of beautiful pictures and I am struggling to pick which ones to place in our home. We got our photos back so much sooner than they predicted. Not only were my husband and I obsessed with them, but our bridal party thought they were so much fun! Even my guests reached out to me to share how amazing they were.
Do your self a favor and pay for great photographers- they are so worth it! The day goes by so quickly and can be a blur but they capture everything you thought you forgot.

"Absolutely the best out there!"
Oden and Janelle were amazing! From my first conversation I felt so heard, they were always so responsive. Associates Erika and Eric covered our day and they were amazing beyond belief!
We connected with them so easily and they totally captured our love in the best possible way. I would recommend OJP to anyone!!!

"Amazing beyond belief!"
Oden and Janelle were absolutely fantastic! I am so happy that after many hours of searching for the right photographers, I landed on them. I was a very indecisive bride - but this was the easiest decision to make after seeing their portfolios. They were incredibly flexible, understanding, professional, and fun to work with. I truly enjoyed their creative eye and their candid style of photography while still getting the essential classic pictures into your album. I also truly appreciate their more natural approach to photography in general.
My friends and family absolutely adored them and want to hire them for their own events! Many at my wedding had the most complimentary things to say about them.

"The easiest decision you will make"
We absolutely loved working with OJP. They were extremely responsive, organized and helped us feel ready for our big day. E+E captured our day and we loved working with them! They were fun and made it such an easy going and relaxed part of our day. Overall OJP was the vendor team we were the most pleased with. We would definitely recommend them!

"our best vendor team!"
Working with OJP was a dream! We were thrilled with both our engagement session and wedding photos, and loved working with all of them throughout the entire process. They are incredibly professional and organized, and very committed to making sure our wedding was captured perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better photography team for our wedding and we would highly recommend them to anyone!

"they were are dream!"
"O+J are awesome! They captured the emotion and joy of the day and also fit in all the posed family photos in record time so we could get back to the party. They made us feel so comfortable and natural and it really shows in our photos. When you’re choosing your photographer, you want someone not only great at taking pictures, but who’s company you can enjoy too since you’ll spend as much time with them as you do your husband on the big day. They are fun + kind people and we genuinely enjoyed the time we spent with them during our engagement session and wedding day. We would absolutely recommended them. Plus, our best man and his fiancé hired them for their upcoming wedding after meeting them and seeing their work during our wedding. When your bridal party likes your photographer so much that they hire them for their own wedding, it’s safe to say you’ve got the best."

"the best!"
My top priority was finding a photographer who focused on capturing the intimate emotions of the day rather than the day looking staged and perfect. After our virtual "meet and greet" happy hour, my husband and I had fallen in love with their personalities and knew that we would not only love their pictures, but would love spending our special day with them by our sides the whole time. We felt like our love story was one they were genuinely excited to be a part of, and they captured our excited energy perfectly in the photos. On the wedding day, it felt as if we were having our photos taken by friends. Our wedding party could not stop raving about how fun Oden and Janelle made the day!
The best wedding vendor decision we made was selecting Oden and Janelle as our photographers, and I can't wait until our family grows and we meet with them again for more family photos!

"The best vendor decision we made!"
Oden and Janelle were the perfect photographers for our wedding. From the beginning they were incredibly professional, communicative and clear about their work, always having an upbeat and positive attitude. We loved that they take a candid approach in their photography style capturing the in-between moments that are genuine and not posed. It was a destination wedding for us and they were very helpful in making our day go flawlessly while planning from afar with date changes having postponed a year from 2020.
They perfectly tow the line between being professional doing their work and also wonderful to have in the social mix of the wedding atmosphere. We even had a number of guests tell us how wonderful they were. Overall we highly recommend Oden and Janelle Photographers!

"The perfect photographers"
I had heard about them from a friend going to a wedding where they were the photographers. I heard nothing but amazing things about them, and we are so glad that we picked them! They really took the time to get to know me and my husband, and that meant so much to us. By the time the wedding came around, they felt like friends! They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable, and take the best pictures.
They captured everything about us so perfectly. If a picture is worth a thousand words, I could write a book about how amazing they are. I can't count the number of times that guests at the wedding came up to us and said how amazing our photographers are. Booking Oden + Janelle for your wedding would be the best decision you make!!!
