We believe in crafting timeless wedding imagery rooted in refinement, intention, and authentic connection. As a globally recognized luxury wedding photography brand, our work is dedicated to documenting meaningful moments with an editorial yet natural style. 

Now, we are proud to extend our passion and expertise to a broader audience through our second brand, Oliver & Co. Built on the same principles and standards as The Hancocks, Oliver & Co offers couples in the greater Lynchburg, Roanoke, and Charlottesville areas an opportunity to experience exceptional wedding photography at a more accessible price point.

Our commitment remains the same: to preserve the beauty, emotion, and connection of your wedding day in every image.

The Heart Behind the Brand

We are bringing the style and standards of the hancocks to our local wedding industry! This brand was created to serve couples in the roanoke, Lynchburg, and charlottesville virginia areas. 

The name was inspired by our sweet little boy, Oliver. We will sadly never hold him this side of heaven but he will forever have a place in our story and our home. 

The team is a collection of highly skilled professional photographers who have been trained by the owners, James and Emily Hancock. 

The team has a combined experience over 25 years in the wedding industry photographing events of all kinds. No matter who is your lead and second photographer at your wedding, you can rest easy knowing you can trust our team to document your day to the fullest!

Our team's process is deeply personal and client-focused. So you'll have the opportunity to meet and speak with your lead photographer about one month out from your wedding. We pride ourselves on fostering genuine connections with our couples, creating an experience that is as seamless and intuitive as it is unforgettable.

Guided by our core values—refinement, storytelling, and intentional service—we have earned the trust of central VA's leading wedding planners and wedding venues!
