Wiz of Oz Photography is hands down the best photographer in the Quad Cities. When deciding on a photographer, I knew that I wanted to go with Teresa from the moment that I looked at her website. Her photos are absolutely stunning and so unique. You will not find another photographer around who has the creativity and vision that Teresa has. The number one reason why I chose her is because I trusted her. There was no need to make lists of the shots that I wanted or the poses that I wanted to do. I left it in her hands and got every shot I wanted and more! She knows what she is doing! All of my pictures are so beautiful. My friends and family were all so impressed! Teresa helped me put together a timeline for my wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly and efficiently which was great, because that was the hardest part of planning! Teresa and her assistant, Shannon, were a blast to work with and made the day go very smoothly. They even stayed longer than the time allotted due to the ceremony being held back by weather at no charge to make sure that I got all of my important moments and memories captured!

Teresa Ousley has been absolutely amazing to work with. She did a phenomenal job on our engagement pictures and helped my fiance loosen up. I strongly suggest having her do your e-pics if she's doing your wedding. It helped us to get to know her and get use to her style. Everything felt SO natural on our wedding day. She went above and beyond, and I was always amazed by her creative spirit. It was 98 degrees on our wedding day and so she constantly made sure my wedding party was comfortable and taken care of, but kept on even with the heat to get the amazing pictures she did. Her backup Photographer, Shannon Colgan, was also awesome! I loved working with her and having her catch the details. It was so nice. By MIDNIGHT on my wedding night (when she left at 10:30), she had up a two sneak peaks. By today (Monday morning), she has up even more. She is amazing and timely and I loved working with her. I am SOOOOOO excited to see all the rest of my pictures and have NO doubt they are amazing.

Teresa was AMAZING to work with! We are 3 weeks out from our wedding and are still waiting for our final photographs, but based on our experience and the photos she posted for us so far, I wanted to share her review. We had a wonderful experience with Teresa both with our engagement session, as well as our wedding. We were BLOWN away by her work and people keep asking us when we are going to post our photos in Town and Country and Vogue, they are that good! She has a wonderfully creative eye and is extremely fun to work with, always making you feel at ease and excited about what you are doing. We really didn't want the typical wedding photos, and wanted something artistic and creative, and Teresa totally did that for us!!! Definitely consider her for your wedding photos, you will not be sorry!

My wedding would have been a disaster with out the Wiz. She kept things rolling and running smoothly when the reception venue did not follow through with their commitments. She went above and beyond to ensure that my day was perfect and the pictures showed it! She was not only professional but showed her commitment to making sure that I received the pictures I wanted. I have gotten nothing but compliments on the quality and depth in my wedding pictures and I wouldn't change a thing. If you want wedding pictures that capture the beauty, emotion and joy of your day, hire Wiz of Oz. Hands down!

Teresa did an absolutely outstanding job photographing our wedding. It was so fun looking through our pictures when we got them back because not only were the expected shots included, but there were so many unique and unposed shots that really captured the day. Her style is so much different than other photographers - not the boring cookie cutter wedding photographs! Day of, she was great to work with. Her experience really shows through; she was organized and calm, even when I wasn't. Wiz of Oz is hands down the best photographer in the QC area!

Erica

We love our wedding and engagement photos! We had a lot of fun taking the photos and my mind was at ease about the photography because Teresa was doing it. I KNEW the photos would be great and capture the essence of the day. I'm so glad that photography was not something that we skimped on as our photos are priceless.

I LOVED working with Teresa and her back up Shannon during and on the day of my wedding. They definitely made myself and my whole wedding party comfortable and made it fun to be able to get the best pictures. The quality of work she does is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone getting married!

Michaela

Teresa had so many wonderful ideas for our pictures. She really has an eye for weddings and I'm sure any other events as well. She did a wonderful job of capturing all the great moments of our day and helped us create lasting memories in the photos she took.
