Once Like a Spark Wedding Co

Weddings & Events

A wedding day holds meaning for couples who hope to remember, share, and look back on their celebration for many years. Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was founded with this understanding and has spent the past 17 years helping couples document the moments that matter most. The company began in 2008 with two sisters—one who brought her experience as a photographer and one who approached the work from the perspective of a bride. Together, they believed a wedding day should feel comfortable, joyful, and faithful to each couple. As a women-owned and women-run business, they have supported thousands of couples throughout the country with a process shaped by care and clarity.

The Values that Shape the Company

The values at the heart of Once Like a Spark photography guide the team’s work across every wedding they serve. These values—connection, integrity, quality, agility, accessibility, kindness, and assurance—have shaped the company’s approach since the beginning. They influence how the team communicates, plans, and documents each celebration. Couples are welcome as part of the Once Like a Spark family, and the company consistently works to meet their needs with respect.

No matter where a wedding takes place—whether in the mountains of Denver, in the city of Boston, or in the gardens of Atlanta—the company’s all-inclusive model helps couples bring their vision to life. With options for photos, videos, DJs, and content creation, couples can choose services that match their preferences and budget. Each package is designed to help couples feel supported, knowing that every critical moment will be documented with steady attention.

In the Beginning

When the founders first imagined what would eventually become Once Like a Spark photography, they wanted to offer two essential things. The first was high-quality work that would help couples remember their wedding day clearly anytime they looked at their photos or videos. The second was a planning experience that reduced stress and helped couples move through their wedding preparations with greater ease. They understood that weddings often come with unexpected pressure, and they wanted to build a process that felt simpler and more supportive.

Since the company opened its doors, these goals have remained central. Over the years, the company has expanded from a small team into a nationwide group of photographers, videographers, DJs, and content creators. Behind them is an in-house planning team that coordinates communication, scheduling, and preparation. This structure ensures couples receive guidance throughout each stage of the process—from initial planning to the final delivery of their photos and videos.

Capturing Moments Across the Country

Today, Once Like a Spark Photo + Video is active in more than 37 markets across the United States. The company combines the strengths of local professionals with the reliability of a full-service creative team. Couples benefit from working with someone who knows their area while also receiving consistent support from an established planning process.

From the first consultation to the final gallery, couples work with planning specialists who help guide the experience. These specialists anticipate needs, support decision-making, and provide a steady point of contact. Their work behind the scenes allows couples to focus on being present on their wedding day rather than managing details.
