take a look into working with the olive branch collective photography during a wedding in dayton, oh. your big day is very special to us!

Hello, I'm Emily Cassel.

I have been taking photos for over three years and created The Olive Branch Collective Photography back in 2021. Being behind the camera brings me an immense amount of joy! I enjoy meeting new people and getting to be a part of their story.

I am a stay at home mom to three beautiful girls and when I am not taking pictures, you can find me outside exploring with them. (Usually with my camera in hand!)

Hi, I'm Bethany Loy.

Hi, I'm Bethany Loy.

While my love for photography began long before meeting Emily, I have been a part of The Olive Branch Collective team since 2023 and began by jumping in to help take pictures at weddings. I have enjoyed photography for years and the art of it all. I love capturing the story telling of photographs. Capturing memorable moments alongside my best friend is also a plus.

I am also a stay at home mom to my son and my little girl on the way!

Wondering what to expect during your session?


As a photographer, we strive to capture all the raw and beautiful moments on the other side of the lens. We believe your photo session should be laid back, fun, and something you can look forward to! Photo sessions can be nerve wracking for some and that is why we will come prepared with many poses and prompts so you can be comfortable.

Editing Style

Our editing style is very minimal and true to life. We want your photos to be natural and timeless so you can love them for years to come.
