"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 PHOTOGRAPHERS OUT THERE. do yourself a favor and pay for great photographers!"
Emily + alec | black star farms
"We absolutely loved working with Oden and Janelle photographers Erika and Eric. The months leading up to our wedding, Janelle was extremely responsive, organized, and helped us feel ready and prepared for our big day. She gave us lists of important items we needed, was prompt with responses, and helpful in figuring out our timeline. During Covid, trying to figure out the right time and place to do our engagement shoot was also tricky, as we live out of state.
Erika and Eric are a husband and wife team and we loved shooting with them- they were fun, had great ideas, and made it such an easy going and relaxed part of our day. Overall, this was the vendor team that we were most pleased with. We received our beautiful pictures in a more than timely manner and could not be happier with how they turned out. Would definitely recommend."
"the vendor team we were most pleased with!"

"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 for our day"
kristy + spencer | ciccone vineyards
Oden & Janelle were an absolutely essential and perfect addition to our wedding day. As one of the very first vendors we selected, they stuck with us for nearly 2.5 years of wedding planning and were very flexible and helpful in dealing with COVID changes, and staff changes during that time.
Not only were they amazing during planning, we could not imagine our wedding day without them. They did an absolutely perfect job of managing the entire wedding party, making sure we were keeping to our schedule without ever feeling rushed. We even finished our wedding party photos ahead of schedule and were EARLY to our cocktail hour!! We had a blast working with them. These two are absolute pros and we could not recommend them highly enough!"
"ABSOLUTely essential & perfect addition to our wedding day!"
NICOLE + SHANE | CICCONE VINEYARDS
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!
"IT FELT AS IF WE WERE HAVING OUR PHOTOS TAKEN BY OUR FRIENDS...The best vendor decision we made was selecting Oden and Janelle as our photographers"

"We highly recommend Oden and Janelle Photographers. Their team is awesome to work with - very friendly and professional. Our engagement and wedding photos are absolutely stunning! Erika and Eric captured all of the joy and love from our wedding beautifully. You won't regret using them!"
"you won't regret using them!"

Oden and Janelle went above and beyond to make our wedding experience smooth, fun, and memorable in more ways than just the photographs. They truly care about each couple they work with by getting to know them on a more personal level and finding that connection. Oden and Janelle are a power house couple and we can see that through the way they work together so seamlessly and lovingly! We absolutely loved that we got to meet them ahead of the wedding through our engagement session where they had us laughing and truly enjoying the moments.
They were SO helpful with providing recommendations to other vendors, restaurants, etc. in the area! I am someone who loves the little moments in life and that is something that is also very apparent in working with Oden and Janelle. The process was smooth every step way, it allowed us to feel confident in letting go and knowing our wedding would be captured exactly as we had hoped!
"oden + Janelle are a powerhouse couple...they went above and beyond!"
Christina + matt | castle farms
The best photographers ever!!! From the beginning Oden + Janelle helped to make my husband and I feel so relaxed. When we met in person they were so kind and funny! They made us feel completely taken care of and confident in our decision. We left our engagement photos knowing that these two were the perfect team for us.
O+J truly captured the love between my husband and I. As we were looking through our gallery we found ourselves giggling and tearing up while recalling all of the moments of our special day. Our guests continue to tell us how fabulous Oden + Janelle were while capturing our wedding photos. They could not believe how much care they put into making sure they were getting fantastic shots. We would choose O+J one hundred times over! They are truly masters at their craft. When we start to have children and begin to take family photos we know who we will be coming to. Thank you for everything Oden + Janelle! We couldn't have asked for a better team!
"the best photographers ever! we would choose them a 100 times over!"
jennifer + chris | black star farms
"O+J are awesome! Our wedding photos turned out amazing. 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."
"If there is one thing you are going to splurge on for your wedding, Oden + Janelle should be it!"
kirstie + kevin | the homestead
"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!!!"
"Oden + Janelle are the BEST photographers around!"
lisa + justin | hagerty center
"I can honestly say that I did not recognize the importance of having great wedding photographers until I went through getting married myself. Oden + Janelle went above and beyond all expectations. From getting to know us, to being very responsive to texts/emails, making a timeline for the day of and being a joy to hang out with all day, I cannot say enough good things about them.
They asked us what we wanted from our pictures beforehand, and then on the day of the wedding they took control and made sure we had hundreds of amazing photos, both candid and staged. We received innumerable compliments on both Oden + Janelle and our photographs from friends and family!"
"Oden + Janelle went above and beyond all expectations."
megan + matt | black star farms
"It by far, was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. They kept everything on track for us and also kept us very calm. I don’t know what we would have done without them. So many people told us that our photos belong in a magazine.
We know that Oden and Janelle will take many, many more family photographs throughout our lives. We feel like we have made life-long friends. We truly love Oden & Janelle."
"If you are looking for wedding photographers, stop looking and book Oden & Janelle! You won’t be disappointed."
mallory + josh | Hagerty center
"The best decision we made about the entire wedding was choosing Oden + Janelle. You get so much more than amazing pictures. With these two it was basically impossible for anything to wrong. We don't know how we would have made it through the day without them. They capture the moment and get the action."
"The best decision we made about the entire wedding was choosing Oden + Janelle."
regina + george | ciccone vineyards
"As with any wedding we had a few things go wrong, and they were both there in a pinch offering suggestions and their help. We truly cannot recommend them enough, we plan to work with them for many years to come!"
"We love Oden + Janelle so much! They are incredibly talented, fun, unpretentious, real and funny."
kristen + scott | peninsula room
Oden and Janelle are amazing! I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Our engagement and wedding photos were absolutely incredible. I was blown away by their professionalism, but also by their friendliness. It was like having our best friends take our photos!
They were so easy to get along with and made my entire day of photos seamless. You will not regret having Oden and Janelle by your side on your big day!! They are amazing.
"it was like having our best friends take our photos!
morgean + greg |crystal mountain
"If you're reading this, you have probably looked at a million photographers and are very overwhelmed by the choices. My husband and I both felt that our entire wedding day moved smoothly because of Oden + Janelle. Picking Oden + Janelle as your photographers is the easy part; choosing your favorite photos they capture won't be."
"Picking Oden + Janelle as your photographers is the easy part; choosing your favorite photos they capture won't be."

"Oden + Janelle are amazing! They were willing to go above and beyond for us including coming to Chicago to do our engagement photos and on the day of spent 25 minutes helping me get red wine out of my dress! They are such an amazing team and do such great work, stop looking and just book Oden + Janelle!"
"stop looking and just book oden + janelle!"
emily + trevor | hagerty center
"Oden + Janelle are amazing at capturing candid moments. They are fantastic to work with, the whole process was so much fun and we loved all of the photos! They are such a pleasure to be around, they were so much more than photographers for us. It felt like one of our friends were with us, they were phenomenal!"
"Oden + Janelle are amazing at capturing candid moments."
amanda + kyle | brengman brothers
"It felt like we were hanging out with a couple of friends. They also went so ABOVE AND BEYOND what you would ever expect and helped out with so many aspects of the day, helping to make everything run smoothly. We received so many compliments on their friendliness and professionalism. I cannot tell you how many times we heard "you're photographers are amazing" or "your photographers are the best."
"Oden + Janelle were incredible. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience."
