I only just got married a few weeks ago but I'm bursting at the seams with how much I want to recommend Oli so here we go!

Best photographer ever. No doubt.

For context, we live in the UK but got married in Melbourne. Planning a wedding from the other side of the world is hard work to say the least, so when I say that hiring Oli was the best decision I made about this wedding (besides... actually getting married to my husband I guess) I really mean it.

You can tell from the photos on his website and socials that he's some kind of magical wizard with the camera but I really was was blown away by the previews we've had so far and can't wait for the full gallery. Oli has an eye that just somehow always sees those precious little moments that otherwise slip away in your memory - the unreal emotions of that day are now captured forever in the most beautiful way and there's really no words for what that means for us. He is a true artist in ways that I have yet to see in any other wedding photography.

But more than being a photo wizard, Oli was such a gem in finding our other fabulous vendors, through his incredibly useful website and direct recommendations. For planning a wedding from so far away this was invaluable, and every vendor we spoke to raved about him.

Finally, as someone who is admittedly very socially awkward, shy, and uncomfortable with attention - Oli was a totally relaxed presence on my stressy day and immediately put me at ease. You definitely need someone like that on your wedding day and Oli brought those chill vibes, we only met in person on the day but I felt like he was an old mate and instantly made me comfortable.

Ok so this is getting long now but basically, if you're thinking of Briars Atlas for your wedding, stop thinking about it and just do it. You won't regret it, and like me, you'll probably want to get married twice just to hire Oli again. DO IT!

Oli is such an easy-going, but very professional photographer/artist.  He was inconspicuously taking photos during our wedding.  My husband, our guests and I remarked on the moments he's captured and how amazing the final outcome of his work.  He was also very accommodating on some minor adjustments and worked well with other vendors (who by the way, speak highly of him). I highly recommend Oli to capture that special moment in your life.

The most talented, exceptional, hard working photographer. Our experience with Oli was just amazing. A genuine passion for photography and capturing every part of our special day. A true artist. His communication leading up was also 10/10. Would definitely recommend !

I knew that I always wanted Oli to photograph my wedding before I had even commenced planning. I had long admired and loved his work and knew that he would capture our big day in the most spectacular way that also represented who we were - he did not disappoint!!
Oli brought the whole package to our wedding - professionalism, creativity and hilarity - and has left us with incredible lasting memories of our most special day.

Oli is absolutely awesome! He was so much fun to have around on the day of our wedding and made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your big day, and we are so glad we chose to spend it with Oli.

We are beyond happy with the photos. Oli is a true master of his art and caught so many beautiful and magic moments. He has his own wondrous unique style that puts him leagues above other wedding photographers.

Choose Oli. You'll be so happy you did. I wish I could give him 10 stars!

What a guy to get to shoot with. I worked along side him at Jess and Kevin's wedding and quickly understood why he's in another league all together. His photography and people skills are incredible, however I learned he'll freak out with the bridesmaids when there's a spider in the house...

Hand on heart, Oli Sansom of Briars Atlas is, hands down, one of the most respected photographers in our industry.    (Actually, his reputation extends far beyond Melbourne, where I work as a Celebrant, as he’s in demand worldwide!)

Oli’s attention to detail and creativity is exceptional, he’s unobtrusive during ceremonies (celebrants and guests love that about him) and he’s a genuinely awesome person.  If Oli's available, book him immediately!

Oli was our wedding photographer and my wife and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

He knows exactly when to hang back and capture moments as they unfold—he also knows when to gently guide things so that you get the most out of your location and occasion.

At all stages—from our initial enquiry, through preparations, and on the wedding day itself—Oli was an absolute pleasure to talk to and work with.

When we received our photos, we were delighted with their quality and with the moments that Oli had had the intuition to capture.

There is no sense in which you will regret booking Oli as a photographer in any capacity or for any occasion.

Every image Oli shares with the world is so vividly unique with the power to disarm you and leave you feeling like you wish you were a fly on the wall at THAT wedding! He is also a wonderful human being and the kind who will become a life long friend after shooting your wedding!

This guy is a legend! Seriously. Just contact him already. Thanks Oli for all your inspiration and support of my business. Nothing is ever too much to ask and the way he helps his community is inspiring.

About

Briars Atlas
Photographer Briars Atlas About me

We're a dirty little secret. We're wedding and elopement photographers based in Melbourne, Australia, but working all over the planet... and just like that restaurant in a city that all the local chefs go to at the witching hour 'neath shroud of moonlight, most of our couples are, photographers: specifically, wedding photographers. We think that says it all. Whether you’re planning a small elopement or large wedding anywhere on this earth, if you value good things made with attention and care in a world that increasingly values the opposite, then you're in the right place... and there’s probably something great we can make together. We don't know what it means to cut corners. It's nice that this approach has had us featured in Vogue, Martha Stewart and countless other jazzy publications for both celebrity and backyard celebrations alike, but it's even nicer than that is knowing that it constantly draws us to folks who... simply like to feel cared for. So, you're in great hands. Make an enquiry to find out about our meticulous planning processes, and discover things such as analogue film inclusions.
