We absolutely 100% recommend Olivia to be your wedding photographer!!! She was amazing in every way. Before the wedding she was very communicative and had regular phone calls with us to plan out the schedule of the day. During the wedding day itself, Olivia was not only professional, but she was also super friendly and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and helped us to ease the high pressures of the day. She guided us through the poses and was super encouraging and kind. There was a portion of the reception where we were trying to get a photo with every table of guests one by one, and Olivia remained so patient even when it was like herding cats. After the wedding, she was super fast in editing the photos and getting them to us. We were blown away by the quality and quantity of the photos and we loved her airy style of editing. You definitely won't regret hiring Olivia to be your wedding photographer!
I don't think we could've picked a better photographer! Olivia was so amazing leading up to and the day of our wedding! She is such a sweet genuine person, and made us feel so comfortable on one of the biggest days of our lives. Not only is her work SO beautiful, she quickly returned our gallery to us, too! Our portraits are stunning, and she also captured so many great candid moments! HIGHLY recommend working with Olivia!!
Olivia was the absolute best person we could have chosen for such an important part of our wedding. From our first conversation she made me feel excited about one of the things I was most nervous about! She was so sweet and is so passionate about her work. On our actual wedding day I felt like she was one of my bridesmaids- helping and encouraging me and making sure everything was absolute perfect. The relief of having someone so professional, personable, and kind as out photographer that day was one of the best gifts we could have received. She captured our wedding in a bright, happy, and natural way and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for the same in their wedding photographer. Thank you Olivia!!!
Olivia was the absolute best!! We loved working with her and the photos were better than we could have ever dreamed. On the day of, she helped keep us calm, built us up about how the pictures were coming out and was so efficient/friendly with our family and the bridal party. Everyone is obsessed with the photos and we are looking forward to having them in our homes and remembering the day for the rest of our lives. The lighting is beautiful, she made us feel comfortable and she captured photos of all of our loved ones.
Olivia was perfect- organized, on time, professional, kind and a pleasure to work with. She made sure we got every picture we asked for and kept us on time. She was easy to work with and we felt very comfortable around her. We also loved the photos! Her style is soft and bright, perfect for our shore wedding! I would highly recommend her.
Olivia is incredibly responsive, flexible, professional and genuine from start to finish. We fell in love with her work immediately based on how natural and unrehearsed every photo looks as well as how incredibly well she captures and highlights the ambiance and surrounding nature. She provided such a fast turn around time too, we were highly impressed! She exceeded everything we dreamed of. When we saw our wedding photos, we felt like we relived our wedding day all over again. We received so many thoughtful compliments about the photos from friends, family and professionals in the wedding industry! Highly recommend Olivia and her second shooter Kelsey. Kelsey is bubbly, thoughtful and made the groomsmen so comfortable as they got ready for the wedding. Olivia and Kelsey worked SO well together and captured every moment (even moments we never knew were possible).
Olivia was absolute perfection in every way. From our initial meeting with her all the way through receiving our photos shortly after the wedding, she was so helpful and supportive. She handled herself professionally and was so sweet throughout the whole process. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and not only gave us beautiful staged photos, but also captured so many sweet candid moments from our day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding photographer. We are so thankful for her and the beautiful moments she captured for us.
We just had our first baby and asked Olivia to do a family session for us. Again, she went above and beyond and took the most beautiful family photos. She has been such a gift to our family and I can't wait to book our next session with her!
Olivia is a very genuine and infectious photographer--her personality pulls out those who are not as photogenic (my husband hates photos!! She made it so much fun!). She has a vision and knack at what she does capturing special moments. We released lanterns into the creek at our venue which weren't floating the greatest due to the water level; to our surprise, she placed lanterns in the shape of a heart and had us sit in the heart for a stunning image! She took something that wasn't working out like we hoped, and made it even better!! It was one of the sweetest things and was unlike anyone else's wedding photos! We loved working with with her for our engagement photos (which really prep you for the day of events) and for our wedding photos! The finished product is in a very high resolution making the images great to print! We highly recommend working with her!
Olivia of Olivia Rae Photography is hands down one of the best photographers in the wedding business! She is the first vendor I booked for my wedding. Her pictures turn out absolutely beautiful, with a light and delicate touch. She also includes engagement photos in her packages which helps her to get to know you as a couple as well as get comfortable and natural being photographed. She captured every detail, big and small, so perfectly. Olivia returns your photos quickly as well. She is one the most genuine and kind people, who is amazing at what she does!
Olivia was incredible to work with from beginning to end. If you are looking for an engagement/wedding photographer, look no further!! Olivia is responsive, organized and incredibly hard working. Plus, she's a joy to be around! She listened to us and made great suggestions based on her years of experiences. Olivia helped create an incredible wedding photography experience for us without stress or worry. We were in such good hands and we knew it! We will forever treasure our engagement and wedding photos thanks to Olivia Rae Photography!
I don’t even know where to start. Olivia and Zack are AMAZING! Not only as professionals but individuals as well, they are the sweetest people. First: picture quality is terrific; if you’re looking for light, airy, whimsical photos, look no further. My pictures look like they came straight from a page off Pinterest! Also, the printed picture quality is top notch and a very affordable price through her website. My wedding album that came with my package is gorgeous and was packaged so nicely, I (almost) didn’t want to open it! You can feel the love she has for her profession. Second: we felt so at ease working with them! Our engagement session was a bit untraditional being at an amusement park, and some photographers that I interviewed were not too keen on shooting there, but that did not deter Olivia and she jumped right in and took that as an opportunity to show off some creativity, and we were left with very creative and beautiful shots! Even my husband, who hates getting his picture taken, felt super comfortable in front of the camera. This was a great way to get to know one another before the big day. Third: Olivia is super organized (and punctual) and between her and my day-of coordinator, I did not have to worry about a thing on my wedding day. She developed the timeline of the day, and everything went very smoothly. Olivia was with me and my bridesmaids while I got ready, while Zack was with my husband while he got ready. My ONLY regret: that I did not get a picture with Olivia and Zack during my wedding! I really cannot say enough nice things; our wedding photos were the most important part for us budget-wise, and after our first consult, I knew we were in good hands with Olivia. So thankful for her and Zack, we are beyond impressed with their services and the engagement and wedding photos!
To Olivia and Zack: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your kindness, patience, and for being such a huge part of our wedding day. We are so grateful!!
Olivia was absolutely amazing! I had so many ideas as a bride and she helped me make them into a reality but put her professional beautiful twist on it! We could not be happier with how not only our wedding photos ( which was BEAUTIFUL) but our engagement photos turned out. I would recommend her 10/10 for sure!
Olivia and Zach were a fantastic team! Leading up to the wedding, Olivia made sure to ask important questions and to note special moments we wanted captured on our wedding day. She reminded me what to bring to get detail shots. Olivia and Zach arrived on time and took charge throughout the day, making sure to keep on schedule while still capturing every special moment and making it seem easy. Olivia made us feel comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day. She gave us direction, but also let us express ourselves. Olivia and Zach were both super sweet and professional. We received the pictures back before the estimated lead time which was also a bonus, and we love them! Brides to be, check out Olivia Rae photography!
Words cannot express how wonderful Olivia and her husband are at what they do. We had a large wedding with lots of opinions and directions and Olivia took everything in stride. I have gotten compliments from random strangers on Facebook groups to family to coworkers all expressing how absolutely incredible our photos are. Her style is very soft and almost every photo is frame-worthy. She took care of us through our Engagement Photos all the way until the wedding and beyond. She is courteous, kind and responsive. We received our photos less than two weeks after our wedding. I can't say enough good things about Olivia.
Olivia and her husband, Zach were by far our favorite wedding vendors! I fell in love with Olivia's work about a year and a half before our wedding and knew I had to have her capture our engagement pictures and wedding day. From my first email inquiring about the process, Olivia was so sweet, helpful, and professional. When we met for our engagement pictures she instantly put my now husband and I at ease. He and I had never posed for pictures before and were not accustomed to PDA, so we were both super nervous to have to be lovey dovey in front of a stranger and camera. However, Olivia made us feel like old friends and had us smiling and laughing immediately. My husband really hates taking pictures, but he even admitted he had a blast. When it came time for our wedding, Olivia helped me out with wedding prep recommendations and our day of timeline. Originally I did not plan on doing a first look, but after chatting with Olivia I decided to have one and we were so glad we did! It was so nice to have that private time before our church service to talk with one another and Olivia captured such great candid shots! She really went above and beyond my expectations on our wedding day! And to top it off, we got all of our edited wedding pictures while we were still on our honeymoon! All of our friends and family keep commenting how our wedding photos look straight out of a magazine. I can't recommend Olivia Rae Photography enough!
Olivia Rae Photography deserves 5++++ stars! We worked with Olivia Rae for our June 2018 wedding at Moonstone Manor in Elizabethtown, PA. Photography and videography were some of the most important aspects of my wedding day, so I was very particular on whom I wanted to capture our day. After many hours of researching photographers, reading reviews and looking at their work, I knew I wanted my photos to have a bright, romantic, fairy-tale look to them. Olivia’s work was all of those things! On her page it said she loves all things gold and sparkly; my wedding was rose gold/gold and definitely sparkly! I knew we would work great together!
I started corresponding with Olivia a little over a year before our wedding. Immediately from the start, Olivia was interested in getting to know our story and us as a couple. Olivia’s personal interest in her clients sets her apart from other photographers in the industry. There were multiple other photographers that I had inquired about hiring for our wedding day, however I got the feeling that we were just a number and a transaction to them. Olivia Rae Photography did not give us that impression at all! We already had our engagement pictures taken in the Bahamas where we got engaged, so instead of doing an engagement session that was included in the package, Olivia worked with us on a custom package for our day. Looking through wedding pictures and ideas on Pinterest, I loved the sparkler time-lapse photos. I expressed to Olivia how I would love to do one of these. She took on this task, practiced it and perfected it so we could have these magical photos! The photo of the time-lapse sparkler surrounding us is one of my favorites, it looks magical! I have so much appreciation for her that she took the time to practice this special kind of shot and was able to do it for our day.
With Olivia’s precise attention to detail, she was able to capture those details of our day that were unique to Zach and I and our story. Olivia checked in with us every few months up until the wedding to see how things were going. She was so helpful in answering questions along the way, even if it wasn’t even about photography but about other details of the wedding. Olivia outlined a schedule for the wedding day, which helped the day run so smooth. Once we had the photography schedule established, it helped us with many other components and timing of our day.
Aside from the beautiful work Olivia and her husband Zach create, they were absolutely wonderful to work with on our wedding day! They were both so calm and collected the entire time and never got flustered, even when we got behind schedule. During the reception they were always near us to grab pics/candids with family and friends. I have gotten so many compliments on our beautiful photos, and I still look through them at least once a week because I love them so much! Brides, choosing Olivia Rae Photography for our wedding was the best decision, don’t miss the opportunity in working with her!
Olivia and her husband Zach were so amazing on our wedding day. Olivia made every second of wedding g planning easier and helped make our wedding day run smoothly. Plus, her pictures are amazing!!
Olivia and her husband, Zach, were more amazing than I could have ever asked for! From the time we booked with Olivia to now (when we recently received out photos!), Olivia has been a dream to work with and has always given me peace of mind and has honored any ideas or requests I had! Olivia is very timely in answering to emails and made my planning process so much easier. She provided me a day of timeline that I was able to add to and share with the bridal party and my family. There is not a single negative thing I could say about Olivia and her beautiful work! She posted some sneak preview photos the morning after the wedding, which was exciting because I was able to show these to friends and family. She had a very quick turnaround for editing and sending all of our photos. The quality of her work is impeccable and every single person I have spoken to has raved over how beautiful the pictures turned out! I am excited to continue to work with her to create our physical wedding album and I know it will be just as beautiful as everything else! Olivia provided suggestions throughout the planning process and lots of information that helped me to plan and made the day proceed effortlessly :) She and Zach were so helpful all day and made sure I was happy and comfortable. We sprung a few last minute ideas on them and they didn’t even bat an eye! They always had a smile and made John and I very comfortable and relaxed throughout the day. I am so so thankful to have worked with Olivia and would highly recommend her to any and all brides!
I highly recommend Olivia for wedding photography!! She is not only super talented but sweet and professional! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and special throughout our engagement and wedding shoots! Our engagement pics are fabulous and I am dying to see the wedding pictures!!!
When I booked Olivia Rae Photography for my engagement and wedding pictures I knew I would be getting amazing photography because I had thoroughly reviewed her work her online--BUT what I didn't realize at the time, is what an amazing experience I'd have with her even outside of the end product of our pictures! I'm only a month into booking her & I've already been floored by her helpful advice, sweet care package (loved it!!), and her thorough communication and warm professionalism. Couldn't be happier with my choice!
Working with Olivia Rae Photography was a dream come true!! We first met Olivia during our engagement shoot and she instantly made us feel comfortable and so special. We knew we made the right decision!
On our wedding day, her kind personally and genuine smile kept me grounded and kept the nerves away. We had rain in the forecast all week, but I knew Olivia would make it work! She emailed me to go over options and sent wishes for a clear day (which thank goodness we ended up having). She got to know our personalities and captured them so well in her photography. Olivia truly makes you, your husband, and your families feel like the most important people on your special day!
Olivia was incredibly responsive to any questions that I had and our pictures were available SO fast! She also gives you tips for sharing and ordering pictures, which was above and beyond. There are not enough positive things to say about Olivia Rae Photography.. My bridesmaids and friends were dying to get her information for the future! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
