We love our clients and your wedding day is just as important to us as it is to you. More from Wuthering Heights. Not a soul knew to whom it belonged, he said; and his money and time being both limited, he thought it better to take it home with him at once, than run into vain expenses there.
The most empowering, exhilarating experiences…..
I had lost my way and was unsure how to find it again. I made it my mission to help other women and through that found myself. To celebrate that I had a photo shoot with Olessia who is a magician, supporter of women, light extraordinaire, all round amazing human.
She has shown me in a light I didn't know existed.
Olessia captured my personality and business image perfectly. I asked for a strong but approachable, trusting and fun while still professional photo package and with an incredibly professional approach Olessia worked with me to deliver on my list of wishes.
My brand is my business and now with my photo's telling the right story I am sure to be a success.
Olessia is warm, kind and patient and makes you feel completely at ease during the whole photoshoot. She really does create magic with her photography and I am still in awe of my results.
Thank you so much, Olessia, for transforming me, helping me with imagery that I can use for my business and giving me something that I will always be able to look back over anytime
Olessia is a professional in every sense - she proactively provided information in the lead up to the shoot, was calming and patient with me and my family on the day and ultimately produced amazing images that we will have forever. I've come away with great memories from the shoot and stunning photographs that capture my family perfectly.
I had the best of both worlds with a private shoot just for me in the morning, and my family joining a few hours later. The images are exceptional and the hardest part is making the selection!
I have always taken my photos sideways - I'm so awkward in front of the camera!!
A fully guided shoot with Olessia was truly enjoyable, so happy I agreed to this day of a unique kind of pampering! She really has the eye to capture beautiful images. I'm absolutely delighted with the results and her photos are all over my professional website.
She captured the 'me' that I really love!!
Olessia made me feel special and glorious during the whole photo session…
I would like to THANK YOU for making me feel comfortable in front of the camera and for capturing these precious moments so perfectly!!!
Olessia, your ability to put me at ease and direct me to capture the best shots made it such a wonderful experience.
Thank you!
The whole experience of the photoshoot with Olessia McGregor Photography, wardrobe styling, professional makeup and hair, posing….. was amazing! I felt so glamorous that day! What a wonderful way to escape from every day routine….
Olessia knows how to make you feel confident, graceful and relaxed. She made me feel like a movie star of the day!
The pictures Olessia did for me are priceless and will be awed again and again…
