About this vendor
My name is Claudia Oliver, Miami, and Washington DC wedding photographer.
My unique style has been influenced by Elegant Modern Fashion Magazine and Fine Art photography.
With 12+ years of experience as a wedding photographer and more than 200 wedding photographs, I've mastered the ability to tell your story, capturing candid moments as they unfold.
I have two studio locations—Miami, Florida and Washington DC.
How my clients describe my style?:
"I found your Instagram through the Knot and was struck by your ability to capture warmth and beauty through photos. There is a drama and contrast to your photos without being excessively retouched or staged in appearance. Finding the mix of natural and artistic seems to be a challenge in wedding photography and I am so impressed by your ability to create drama without sacrificing the “realness” of the day. We could only hope for such a commemoration of our day."
When searching for wedding photographers I knew I wanted traditional, classic, and timeless pictures. When looking for different vendors that hit these keywords, you came up and the pictures are exactly what I was thinking of in my head (which is hard to do because I always have a ton of ideas floating around).
I'd love to meet and hear your story. I take pride not only in my craft but in delivering professionalism, customer service and most importantly building a relationship with you! I'd love to meet and hear your story.

Claudia was great the entire process. She was helpful in answering all questions and making sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire process. The engagement session was really great; she helped to guide us and got amazing shots. She was also super helpful during the wedding preparation process and had great tips for group photo shots and really capturing those special moments on our wedding day. We are thrilled at how our wedding photos turned out, and would recommend Claudia to any couple.
Simply Amazing
Claudia is incredibly talented and passionate with her work and it definitely shows in her photography! We had our engagement photos taken in DC and Claudia, without hesitation, changed her own plans last minute to accommodate our request for shooting first thing in the morning at 7am. Claudia was so flexible and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. She was simply amazing on the day of the wedding and we received so many compliments from our friends and family about her. Claudia truly did a spectacular job and we (as well as our family & friends) absolutely love our engagement & wedding photos! We are so happy to have worked with Claudia and we highly recommend her!
I am super happy with my pictures from Claudia. In my search for photographers, I really wanted someone who could provide really bright and fun photos, and Claudia definitely delivered. The pictures are bright, colorful, and elegant, which was exactly what I wanted. The weather was pretty gross out that day, but you can't tell at all. Claudia also had a lot of great ideas for poses and angles, and was very hardworking during the wedding. Lastly, she made sure to get all of the photos that I requested which was really nice.
Claudia was very creative with her shots and the pictures turned out amazing. She took advantage of everything the venue offered. We are so happy with the large number of pictures available to us.
Claudia is AWESOME! we hire her for my brothers wedding and she did an absolutely wonderful job! We love the pictures, the pictures she took are not just any picture they all capture the story behind them it's fantastic.
We worked with Claudia for our September 2017 Engagement Session and at our wedding in April 2018. Claudia was great to work with! She was very thorough getting all the pictures and angles she could in the time permitting, she was also great working around our schedule and getting almost all of the pictures we had hoped. Claudia was a professional throughout but fun to work with as well! We can’t recommend Claudia enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
My husband and I knew after the first time we met with Claudia that we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. Her energy was undeniable. She did not disappoint on the day of! They say that you need to make sure you like your photographer, since you will be with them the most and I absolutely love Claudia. We had a great time together and she really did everything in her power to get the pictures she thought would be the best. She is very passionate about what she does and it shines through with all of her effort. I am beyond satisfied with Oliver Photography Studio!
Claudia Oliver is amazing. My wedding photos are beautiful, timeless and stunning. She is very knowledgeable in the photography, she knows the latest photo trends and still know how to keep your photos classic. She capture photojournalism at it's best. She was punctual, and was dedicated to getting the job done. I would highly recommend her for the job.
Claudia was so great to work with! She did the photography for my wedding & I cant praise her enough! Her work is amazing! We will forever treasure our photos!
Claudia photographed our wedding at the University of Maryland, College Park campus this past weekend. I cannot say enough positive things about her, her work style, and her photographs!!! She consistently goes the extra mile to get the best lighting and angles - at one point she was even laying on the floor to get shots of us with the beautiful dome ceiling in the chapel after our ceremony. She instantly put everyone in our bridal party at ease and we loved how she gave direction. She even calmed me down when I was panicking that we wouldn't get to the chapel on time!!! She made sure to check in with us periodically during the reception to see if we had any specific photo requests. She also made it a point to capture groups who were taking pictures on their iphones so that she could get a professional shot. Our guests couldn't help but notice how great she was too. I can't wait to see the photographs!!! You can't go wrong with Claudia as your photographer and we can't thank her enough!
Claudia is an amazing photographer! Once I met her, I knew she will capture my wedding pictures with the smallest detail. She was very patient to listen to my requests since the first interview and took the time to show me everything she has done. She is a very talented photographer and does not rush during the photoshoot, instead she takes the time to capture everything we wanted and beyond. Claudia is always easy to reach and has a great sense of humor! I will recommend her to all my friends and family!!
Claudia was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding (and engagement) photos! Very professional, and of course had great tips for how we should act/pose to make the photos look natural. On top of everything, we had a huge gallery of photos to look through and choose from, with many different options from each of the locations where pictures were taken. Would absolutely recommend Claudia if you're looking for a professional wedding photographer who will capture all of the moments from your big day.
If you're lucky enough to come across Claudia Oliver's page, do yourself a favor and book her IMMEDIATELY. I've never met another photographer who cared so much about every single picture they take. Claudia puts everything she has into the pictures for your special day and it shows. She came to Mexico for my destination wedding in February and everything went extremely smoothly. She had wonderful advice and suggestions on how to pose and how to make sure we were looking like our best selves in the pictures. She also did an engagement session for us in DC prior to our wedding. It was a great experience getting to know Claudia and working with her on both days. The engagement session really helped us get to know one another and become familiar with her style. We were absolutely blown away when we got our engagement pictures back and knew immediately that our wedding pictures would be just as good if not better! Last night my husband and I spent over two hours laughing and smiling while looking through the many photos Claudia sent of our wedding day.We looked amazing in all of them-- You will be so happy and grateful if you choose Claudia to photograph your special day!
Claudia is AMAZING! You cannot go wrong booking her for your wedding! Both my husband and I loved her work and working with her. We have only gotten our engagement photos back so far and are waiting on our wedding photos from our March 28th, 2015 wedding, but we know they will be beautiful. Claudia was easy to work with and gave us great direction. We had a very large wedding and she accommodated both families with all the photos they wanted. Thanks for everything you did for Jerry and I Claudia we will continue to recommend your services. Can’t wait to see our wedding photos soon!
Claudia Oliver was absolutely amazing I am stunned that she was truly able to capture all of the emotions of our wedding day.
When browsing photographers in the DMV area and looking at the work they do it is clear that Claudia's pictures are leaps and bounds superior than any other photographer. I was inlove with the pictures she had taken of other couples and we knew immediately that she was the one we wanted to photograph for our wedding.
I definitely gave Claudia a challenge by telling her I only wanted 15 minutes of formal pictures after the ceremony because I didn't want to miss any part of the reception. Probably not her favorite request, but it is amazing all the moments she captured, especially given the EXTREMELY short amount of time I gave her.
Claudia has such a good eye and was able to immediately know what angle would get the right shot. I couldn't be more grateful to have her be our photographer. She took the time to understand who we were as a couple and how to convey that accurately in photographs.
With all the stressful decisions that need to be made leading up to the wedding, we didn't think twice about booking Claudia. I couldn't possibly recommend her more.
Words just cannot express!!! Claudia Oliver Photography is amazing!!! I wish there was a way to give Claudia herself a million stars--because 5 just isn't enough! Claudia's passion, drive, focus and talent are just a few of the very many incredibly professional qualities about her and her work. She paid attention to each and every single detail, moment and memory, making our wedding day experience so profoundly special. We consider ourselves very blessed to have had her capture the most important day of our lives and we wholeheartedly endorse her as a professional photographer, creative director and talented artist. If you want the best of the best, do yourself a favor and hire her immediately!
I would definitely recommend Claudia Oliver Photography for your engagement and wedding day photos. She is a sweetheart and takes pride in her work which is evident from all of her amazing photos. My now husband and I had our engagement and wedding photos taken by Claudia.
We loved how she captures the scenic and landscape views using natural lighting. We took our engagement photos in Washington DC at the Washington Monument and they turned out spectacular. Also, I mentioned to her that I would like to take some pictures with the cherry blossom and she managed to find only a few trees that were still blossomed and those pictures were incredible. She will do her best to accommodate your wishes.
She is very driven and determined to take beautiful photos for you. She made sure she captured pictures with our family first before went on tour guest and that was important to us. She worked tirelessly to make sure she captures all the little details like place cards, table setting, venue, my bridal suite, and hubbys groom area. We had individual photos taken along with our first look, the ceremony, and the reception. We couldn’t ask for more. She exceeded our expectations.
Honestly, her prices are affordable when compared to other photographers in the surrounding cities. When you choose Claudia, you chose quality not quantity. I absolutely recommend Claudia!
Hiring Claudia was one of the best decisions i made. At our initial visit, she spent time finding out what features i would like minimized or accentuated. She understood we are not comfortable in front of a camera and suggested we do our engagement pics with her as well as a way for us to get comfortable with each other and to get comfortable in front of her camera. We did our engagement pics a month before the wedding and that was a fabulous and beneficial experience. On our wedding day, she took charge and everything went without a hitch. I had provided her with some ideas i had found on pinterest and she recreated all of them. Most importantly, she captured many candid photos which conveyed so much emotion. Some made my cry and some made me burst out laughing. I really got to relive my wedding through the photos she took. We had a sparkler exit and those were fabulous as well. The value?! Worth every penny. In fact, i think she's underpriced. Go for it!!!
Where do I start, great photographer, great personality, very helpful, Every confident in her work, calmed me when I was freaking out, captured every special moments of our big day. Amazing pictures and poses takes a plain pictures and turns it into a beautiful portrait. Me and my husband are very pleased with her work and would definitely recommend her to all our friends.
Hands down Claudia was my favorite vendor with whom I interacted on my wedding day! So happy we hired her! She is extremely talented with lighting! I'm not comfortable having my photo taken but I longed to look like a super model in my wedding pics. Miraculously, Claudia made it happen! She has such an energetic, fun personality. When she began to photograph me she told me to loosen up with a glass of champagne and the rest was history. She worked tirelessly throughout our entire wedding day carried multiple cameras and flashes all over the vineyard. At one point I felt so bad that she was working so hard I offered to help her and she refused. When she wasn't photographing us she was photographing our families. We would hire her again in a heart beat!

Claudia did a great job photographing our engagement and wedding photos. She pays attention to detail and does whatever it takes to get the perfect shot. You can tell that she truly loves what she does. I highly recommend her.
Claudia Oliver is a pleasure to work with; she is personable yet professional. She was able to pace the day perfectly when formal portaits were done and accommodating towards us for our elderly relatives.
She was able to get all of the photos we had requested and even more. We are beyond grateful for the memories she was able to give us.
The wait the photos is completely worth it; be prepared for the wait time as disclosed in the agreement you make with her.
I would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer that definitely delivers on quality.
I don’t really write reviews but Claudia truly deserves it!
I found Claudia Oliver through this website and from the minute I met her, I saw and felt her passion in photography. Our wedding is not until May 2015 but I just got the photos from our Engagement session and my fiancé and I were totally blown away. She has a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. If you are going to book Claudia for your wedding, you definitely have to book an engagement session with her in order to see her style and get comfortable with being photographed.
Being in the Meetings and Events industry, I have very high standards in the vendors that I work with. Claudia has truly gone above and beyond my expectations. She is excellent to work with, very friendly, flexible and will really work with you to make sure she captures those special moments.
We have 6 months to go before the wedding and I can’t wait to work with Claudia again! Will definitely be writing another review after the wedding and will definitely be recommending her to anyone who needs a photographer. Thank you Claudia!
