I don't know where to begin to describe how phenomenal Olivia is. We worked with her for both our engagement session in NYC and our wedding in Chicago. Her work speaks for itself i...
n capturing your engagement/wedding weekend with all the moments from big to small, posed to candid. She doesn't miss a moment! As a human she is so warm and friendly. I really appreciated all of her clear communication on needs from us, next steps, as well as all her thoughtful recommendations along the way. Her expertise shines through in her attention to detail in every step of the process from your first phone call to the final photography delivery. I'm an art director professionally and Olivia is the person I trusted implicitly with any creative decision. Don't sleep on having her do your wedding album. It's worth every penny.
Olivia and her team were really great to work with and we ended up with truly stunning photos. The process was quick and painless, and she made everyone feel comfortable and relaxe...
d. Olivia made great suggestions for photo locations, and was very thoughtful and strategic about the light, positioning and other details for our posed photos. Her team also captured unexpected candid moments, reactions and personal details that we really love. We highly recommend Olivia and her team!
I'm so so happy we chose to work with Olivia for our wedding day! She was such a pleasure to be around and did a great job at organizing all of the shots and herding the wedding pa...
rty and family around! She arranged such beautiful pictures and was super helpful in figuring out where we wanted to take pictures around the city. I received a sample set of pictures within only a few days (I was amazed!) and the full set only a few weeks after the wedding. The whole process of working with Olivia was seamless and organized. Highly recommend! One of my favorite wedding vendors :)
My husband, our families and I cannot stop talking about her and her work - we all agree Olivia was hands down the best decision we made in our wedding planning. We truly feel hono...
red and spoiled that we got to work with her. She is SO incredibly talented, beyond belief - that is clear when you see her work (and her frequent wedding industry mentions/features/awards!!!) but she’s also the most genuine, kind-hearted person! She spends so much time getting to know you, your family, your vision for the day, your interests, your concerns, etc and literally dedicates herself to making your experience with her as personal as possible. We are truly still in shock and awe of how she so perfectly captured every moment, emotion, and feeling of our day. She made it artwork! We can relive all these special moments all over again, some of what she captured we both weren’t part of and get to experience and appreciate it after the day - it is the greatest gift!!! I really can’t tell you how grateful we are! Olivia will be your best decision!
Olivia photographed our wedding in July 2021 and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. She is so thoughtful, communicative, and takes such care with your special day throughout...
the planning process, day of, and afterwards! She was so open to requests, patient, and worked so well with our broader vendor team. After having to postpone our original date in 2020 due to covid, we were nervous about rescheduling process but Olivia was so flexible and worked with us through all the madness that the pandemic caused. Our wedding day with Olivia was so wonderful - so relaxed, and everyone had such a great time taking pictures! We're now a few months past our wedding and have absolutely stunning photos that we look at quite often, and we are so grateful for Olivia and her talent! Her pictures capture the biggest and smallest moments in the most special way - they literally take you right back to that moment in time and you feel all the feels all over again. She's one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding and we would choose her again in a heartbeat!
As the saying goes, "a picture is worth 1000 words" and this could not be more true when it came to the photos taken by Olivia on our wedding day. Working with Olivia was a joy fro...
m the moment I met her at our initial consultation to finalizing our wedding album. She is smart, fun, engaging, and truly a professional. She knew how to capture the emotion of our guests, the ambiance of the venue, and the love shared between me and my husband over the course of our wedding weekend. On top of capturing the most stunning images, she was just a joy to be around. She provided direction, was strategic in group shots, and found some of the most action packed moments on the dance floor all while being calm, fun, and personable. You can tell Olivia loves what she does and her passion for capturing a special moment. I could not recommend her more and hope to work with her again in the future!
I cannot put into words how amazing Olivia is. She so beautifully and authentically captured our wedding. She was able to capture the emotions and details so perfectly, allowing us...
to relive the day. Not only is Olivia incredibly talented, but she is such a delight to work with - fun and professional. If you're looking for a photographer - look no further!! I highly recommend working with Olivia!
Olivia was amazing!!! Her photography has an amazing blend of artistic and natural. We are thrilled with our wedding photos (and engagement!) and would recommend her over and ove...
r again. She was worth every penny. She is also personally amazing. We had a great time working with her and she made us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Truly top notch!
I just can not say enough about our photographer without sounding mildly obsessed. Her eye for detail and beauty in things that not a lot of people see, really show throughout her ...
photos. Every photo that you look at on her blog or in your own portfolio makes you want to plaster your home with each and every one of them. She truly captured each and every candid moment between my husband and I, our family members throughout the day. Her background is in fine art which you can see throughout her photo style. She is also the sweetest , most professional person that makes you feel very at ease on a crazy wedding day or during your first photo shoot together during the connection session. I am definitely not the only one that notices her talent as her photos have been featured in numerous magazines. Thank goodness my best friend caught a glimpse of her blog when my now husband I were just engaged. I need a bigger house to host all those lovely wedding photos. It's almost a little sad we won't get to work with her again in the near future, but I hope other brides that value photography as a top priority for their wedding, get the opportunity to work with Olivia. There's always her blog to keep up with all of her sessions:-)
