OWNER / LEAD WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER / EST.2006
My lifelong journey as a photographer began early at the Summit Country Day School. I went on to study the Arts at Savannah College of Art & Design & Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles. I finished my studies at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California, where I earned my BFA in 2004 with a double major in Still Photography (primarily film) and Digital Imaging. Since then, photography has been more than a profession—it’s been a lifelong passion.

Photographer & Content creator
Over the past 18 years, we have had the privilege of collectively photographing more than 800 weddings. Through that experience, I’ve honed a style that blends documentary storytelling with artistic composition capturing real moments as they unfold, while also guiding and posing you naturally so you feel comfortable and look your best.
My goal is always to deliver authentic, candid, and timeless images with a soft, natural light that evokes an editorial yet true-to-life feel. I want you to see the real work, from real moments, captured in real conditions.
What sets a great wedding photographer apart is the ability to adapt; whether it’s lighting, weather, or the unexpected. I pride myself on bringing calm, creativity, and professionalism to every situation.
Your wedding day is one of the most meaningful and unforgettable days of your life. I’m honored to play a part in preserving it with the highest quality photography and top-tier customer service, ensuring that your experience is as beautiful as the memories we capture.
805 is Santa Barbara’s area code, our second home and one of our favorite places in the world.

Ava Oleson
She does a wonderful job photographing weddings and engagements and has such a natural way of making our couples feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her images feel candid and effortless, while still being technically beautiful and thoughtfully composed.
She is truly such a joy to have with you on a wedding day and continues to go above and beyond in her work. She’s young, fun and brings a fresh energy and perspective to every wedding, along with a really great eye for fashion, movement and the little moments happening around her.
She is currently studying photography and finance/business at NKU and has been working with Frame 805 for the past 3 years. She has grown so much in that time and has quickly become such an important part of our team. She’s confident behind the camera, incredibly dependable and genuinely loves what she does.
We love the balance she brings, fresh and current, while still understanding the level of professionalism and attention to detail we expect at Frame 805. Couples love her, we love working with her, and we’re so excited to watch her continue to grow with us.
Brenden Oleson
Brenden Oleson is my husband. He's from both New York and California before moving to Cincinnati where he has worked as a photographer for Frame 805 for 18 years.
Brenden has mastered documenting your wedding. He is the one to give credit to our stunning aerial images of the city and venues and most of the groomsman photos.
When he's not shooting weddings, he's working his weekday job as an applications engineer & sales, covering the US & Worldwide.
