Honored to announce that j.olson weddings has been welcomed into Worldās Best Wedding Photos, a collection of artists considered to be the most experienced, talented, and distinctive wedding photographers in the world. My sincere thanks to the team at WBWP for welcoming me into this prestigious group, and for considering my wedding photography to be some of the best in the world.
Trevor & Zoe āØ A celebration that felt more like creating art than documenting a wedding.
Every detailāfrom the delicate flow of Zoeās gown to the expansive landscapes framing their loveāwas an opportunity to push creative boundaries and tell their story in a way thatās uniquely them.
This is what itās all about: crafting something timeless, personal, and full of heart. Thank you to this amazing couple, for choosing me to capture your big day.

It is with incredible joy that I can announce that I have been selected as one of Rangefinder Magazineās 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography for 2020!
This is both an immense honor and a dream come true. It feels like Iāve gone to the Photography Olympics and come home with a gold medal in hand. This means so much to me; more than I can express.
Every year, a secret group of industry leaders and tastemakers nominate hundreds of photographers from around the world for this competition. These photographers submit their 30 strongest images to the competitionāimages that showcase their unique style and signature as an artist.
After a month-long judging process, the 30 winners for the year emerge as Rangefinder Magazine Rising Stars. Some of my favorite photographers are past recipients of the award, and Iām humbled to be counted among them.
I cannot begin to describe the feeling of winning this competition. Getting the nomination is an honor in its own right and I was giddy when I got the word. Then when I opened the email that I had won, I broke down crying. Iāve poured years of work into starting and growing my business, and this award brings an incredible sense of validation to my vision and process.
I have too many mentors, supporters, and amazing clients who I would like to thank. Getting here would have been impossible without your encouragement and opportunities. I have no idea where I would be today without you all on my team. There are a few people who Iād like to give special thanks to as well.
Iād like to thank @amandamariestudio & @roseyredphotography for helping me hone my portfolio.
@_geneoh & @ericlundgren for being the best studio mates.
@levitijerina & @jamesmoesweddings for mentoring me when I was just starting out.
@jeanninemphoto & @beccadilley for helping me get to WPPI and being hotel roommates.
And of course, endless love to Jacqueline Tobin, Libby Peterson, and all the past Rising Stars for pushing me to become a better photographer this year.
And to whoever may have nominated me, Iām forever grateful to have your respect.Ā
Lastly, this award is not just my own. It belongs to every amazing photographer that won this year.
A touch of color? Something blue? Which do you prefer? Do you have a pair of dream shoes? š šø
Enjoy a bit of inspiration for your own wedding day šø
