Liv is also amazing when it comes to arranging her engagement photo sessions, she can make places work for her style of photography and can also give great recommendations for shooting locations if you're not quite sure where you'd like to have your photos taken. For my husband and I we made our engagement shoots into a fun date night with Liv and we have gotten rave reviews of all our engagement photos from friends and family members!
Even though our wedding day is done and over with I am in awe of the amazing photos Liv took of us on our big day and I look forward to keeping in touch with her for fun family photo shoots in the future :)

ergy. It's so easy to have a natural smile/ laugh while she's taking our pictures. She has the perfect poses memorized and doesn't hesitate to help us get the most out of our photoshoot session, constantly having us pose for the perfect shot. And a huge plus is you can't help but become best friends with her, right after you meet her! She texts/emails back super quick and is always accurate with any suggestions on anything such as location spots, wedding details and advice, etc. Not to mention she plans out your ENTIRE wedding day for you. HIGHLY recommend this sweet girl as your photographer for any occasion.
