Get to know Angela…

Hello my name is Angela and I’m the founder behind Aster + Olive Photography. Jen, my lead associate photographer and I have been proudly shooting weddings and portraits for almost 10 years. I’m blown away by how amazing this journey has been for us. It all started with taking a photography class in high school. Developing film and seeing my images come to life was complete magic. Photography was definitely my first love. At the same time I was also drawn to the world of fashion. It was a tough decision to make but ultimately I ended up pursuing a degree in fashion design and graduated with a BFA from FIT in NYC. After many years of career changes and life events, I switched gears, returned to my first love and started up A+O. The path that lead me here has helped me tremendously. I’m so grateful for it all.

I met Jen shortly after I started shooting weddings. I knew the moment we met we had the same vision. Our esthetics and approach to photography are seamless. We both believe the connections and friendships we make with our clients is just as important as the photographs themselves. We’re both storytellers. We know the importance and value the photos have. It bends time and lives on for generations. It’s an honor we hold dearly to our hearts.
