BEHIND THE LENS
Artful storytelling, anchored in faith and fueled by love
Our Story Begins with Heart
Our work is built on a simple foundation: that your story is meaningful, and it deserves to be remembered with honesty and heart.
Rooted in our faith and a shared love for storytelling, we come alongside you to capture the real, unscripted moments — the quiet ones, the joyful ones, and everything in between.
Through every photo and film, our hope is that you see the beauty in your story just as it was always meant to be.
Hey, I’m Oana
The founder, lead photographer, and storyteller behind OANA Creative Films & Photography.
Photography and videography have been the language of my heart for as long as I can remember — a way of preserving the beauty, the wonder, and the small sacred moments that make up a life.
Rooted in my faith, I see creativity as one of God's greatest gifts — a way to reflect His love, His artistry, and His attention to the details of our stories. It’s not just about capturing what a moment looks like, but what it feels like — the way your heart raced, the quiet tears, the bursts of laughter that words can’t quite hold.
It’s my greatest joy and honor to step into these moments with you — to witness, to celebrate, and to create something lasting, something true.
A few things about me:
— Lover of golden light ✨
— Most likely to tear up during your vows
— Coffee enthusiast ☕ (and always down for an iced latte!)
— Obsessed with capturing tiny, fleeting moments that often go unnoticed
a friendship by faith
Some of the best stories begin when you least expect them.
Mikaela and I first crossed paths at church — brought together by our shared love for Christ. What started as casual conversations quickly grew into a deep friendship built on faith, encouragement, and a shared heart for creativity.
As we spent more time together, it became clear that God had placed a mutual vision on our hearts: to use our gifts to serve others, capture beauty, and tell stories that reflect His love.
What once was just friendship has now become a beautiful partnership — one fueled by faith, creativity, and a love for every sacred moment we get to preserve.
Meet Mikaela
My second shooter, creative partner, and dear friend.
Mikaela brings an incredible eye for detail, a heart for people, and a calming presence to every shoot we step into. She’s the one catching the small, tender moments you didn’t even know were happening — the candid smiles, the quiet exchanges, the pure joy.
Her passion for storytelling matches mine, and together we move seamlessly to capture every angle of your story with care and creativity.
A few fun facts about Mikaela:
— Loves finding the dreamiest natural light 🌿
— Always the first to tear up during first dances
— Favorite coffee order: iced caramel latte
— Believes the best photos happen when you aren’t trying
Together, we’re not just capturing moments — we’re preserving memories that feel true to who you are.
