Once Like a Spark Wedding Co

Weddings & Events

A wedding day is a moment many people dream about, hoping to remember it with clarity and share it for years to come. Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was created with this understanding in mind and has spent the last 17 years helping couples capture the moments that matter most. Founded in 2008 by two sisters—one entering the work as a photographer and the other as a bride—the company began with the belief that a wedding should feel genuine, joyful, and centered on the couple’s story. As a women-owned and women-run company, they have supported thousands of couples across the United States with a process built on care, responsibility, and consistency.

The Values that Shape the Company

The values guiding Once Like a Spark photography shape every part of the team’s work. These principles—connection, integrity, quality, agility, accessibility, kindness, and assurance—define how they approach planning, communication, and wedding-day documentation. Couples who choose the company are welcomed as part of a larger community, not simply as customers. This focus on connection helps create an experience that supports couples emotionally and logistically.

Whether a celebration takes place on a Denver mountainside, in the center of Boston, or in a garden setting in Atlanta, the company’s all-inclusive approach helps couples bring their wedding vision to life. With options for photography, videography, DJ services, and content creation, couples can select packages that match their budget and preferences. Each offering is designed to help couples feel confident and prepared, knowing that their memories will be preserved with care.

In the Beginning

When the founders first built what is now known as Once Like a Spark photography, they wanted to offer two essential things. First, they aimed to provide photos and videos that could bring couples back to their wedding day each time they were viewed. Second, they wanted to reduce the stress that often surrounds wedding planning. They saw how overwhelming the process could be and set out to create a more organized and supportive experience.

From the moment the company opened, this mission has guided its work. Over time, the business grew into a national team of photographers, videographers, DJs, and content creators. Behind this creative network is an in-house planning team that coordinates details, answers questions, and supports couples through each stage of their wedding journey. This combination of creative professionals and planning specialists helps relieve pressure on couples and allows them to focus on what the day represents.

Capturing Moments Across the Country

Today, Once Like a Spark Photo + Video serves more than 37 markets across the United States. This broad reach allows couples to benefit from a blend of local familiarity and the structured support of a full-service creative company. Local photographers and videographers understand their region well, while the wider planning system ensures organization and steady communication.

Throughout the planning process, couples work closely with planning specialists who help guide the experience from beginning to end. These specialists assist with scheduling, answer questions that may arise, and help anticipate needs the couple may not yet have considered. From the initial consultation until the delivery of the final gallery or video, the planning team works behind the scenes to keep everything clear and manageable.
