Olivia Wenzel Photography

and eye for detail created such beautiful shots while getting ALL the key moments that we loved. In addition, she had a medical emergency the day before, but made sure that back up plans were all in place before we even knew something was wrong (luckily she could still be there!)- immensely grateful for her thoughtfulness and professionalism. The biggest downside is that we have SO MANY good pictures to choose from, and we can't stop going through them and narrowing down what to print! Thank you Olivia!

the wedding. I am very happy with the way all of our photos turned out, and will use her in the future!

y moment. I HIGHLY recommend Olivia for whatever event you're looking to capture. I've never been someone who is at ease in front of the camera but she made me feel comfortable and confident while working with her, which I really think shows in the photos. Also - for the brides and grooms out there, Olivia will wrangle your family into whatever photos you want with a smile on her face the entire time. During family portraits I was getting a little antsy with difficult aunts and uncles, but Olivia herded everyone together quickly and efficiently so people could enjoy cocktail hour. I am so grateful she was able to capture our wedding so beautifully.

id a walk through with us at our wedding location since she had not worked there before. She gave us some great ideas for unique things to do at our wedding too! Day of the wedding Olivia was great. Timely, organized, kept our schedule, and had great calming energy. We used her for a classy photobooth she brought and I loved the pictures we got. Her second shooter Colleen was great. I am really happy and we absolutely love the photos.

azing job working with our rather large wedding party (18 total attendants). I love the way she staggered/layered the bridal party in our group pictures so that everyone's face is easy to see and it isn't too wide of an angle. Olivia did the same with our family portraits. I have so many favorite photos that are just artistic gold. I feel like so many of the pictures could be a magazine cover - but they're my wedding photos! We've had several of our friends/family mention that they can definitely tell we had a quality photographer. There were some bumps in the road regarding scheduling with our engagement photos, but in the end we were still able to get amazing fall photos to use for our save the dates. Olivia was so professional and a pleasure to work with. I really believe she helped to make sure our day went smoothly and really went above and beyond. She even set aside time to tour our venue a few days before our wedding. We were able to scope out some different spots for photos and spend some time getting to know each other.

g style and I have gotten so many compliments on my photos.

ds and family!

g colors and timeline. She even went to our location the day before our wedding to scope out the best photo locations. And she is dog friendly!

it throughout the day to ensure we got all the shots we wanted. She provided the perfect amount of direction and posing while also capturing all the little candid moments (even caught the surprise jello Easter egg shots at the end of our reception!). Our photos turned out better than we could’ve ever imagined and we are SO in love with them! If you are looking for elegant, timeless photos (along with all the special moments) and an easy to work with photographer, then Olivia is your girl!

, too. She was very sweet and made everyone feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

g too aggressive. She went above and beyond to take beautiful photos of us for our engagement, shower and wedding. We could not recommend her enough. Thank you Olivia!

agement photos in October 2020, she made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day in October 2021, she was a calming presence and provided great direction. Her second photographer, Nadia, was also great! They both captured our special day perfectly and the photos are something we will cherish forever. I’ve had several people reach out to be after posting photos on social media asking for her information. I would recommend Olivia to anyone who wants classic and stunning wedding photography.

see the quality and effort we received. Olivia delivered our photos late, and gave us no communication, I actually had to reach out to her after the delivery date to see where they were and she didn’t get back to me until a week later. Olivia has given us so many ridiculous excuses as well as changed her story/reasoning for things multiple times. Olivia has continued to provide awful communication, ignoring our emails for weeks at a time, on several different occasions. After months of trying to come to a resolution, Olivia has only offered us a $150 refund out of the $2,500 we paid her. All while claiming she did her job to the best of her ability. We will never have photos of the most important part of our wedding to share with friends and family. I am surprised at how many good reviews she has, the service we received has been so poor it seems almost impossible to believe other reviews. I have went back and forth on leaving this review, but if I am able to save just one couple from having to deal with this catastrophe it will be worth it. To add to it all, if we want to fight to get our money back we are going to have to take her to small claims court. If you want more information or have questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

all breathtaking. We couldn’t be happier. Highly, highly recommend Oliva. She was able to get all the shots we wanted. Thank you!!!

f, but I am beyond happy with ALL of the photos Olivia captured. She captured every detail and all the special moments, from my our first look, to our parents reactions during speeches, and so much more. Our day was documented perfectly. Throughout the entire process Olivia was so organized and easy to work with. She helped set my timeline and on our wedding day I never felt rushed. We had an overall incredible experience with Olivia and I would HIGHLY recommend having her photograph your events!

ve! On the day of the actual wedding, she and Chyane were absolutely amazing. We had a large bridal party (18 total) and they did an amazing job of getting everyone together and getting every single picture that we requested. To top it off, by the end my bridal party and I agreed that it truly felt like we had known Olivia and Chyane forever. They were so friendly and sweet!! I can’t wait to see the final pictures, Olivia showed me a few completed photos the day after and they were PHENOMENAL! Another great thing about Olivia is all the detail photos she takes, so not only do you have photos of your bridal party and guests but also every aspect of the wedding. I took a lot of time to plan everything perfectly and to be able to have photos to look back on everything is absolutely amazing. I truly cannot recommend Olivia Wenzel Photography enough. Thank you so much Olivia and Chyane for making my wedding day so incredibly special!!

sense of how we were posing and get excited when we nailed a great shot. We bopped all over NYC for our shoot and she was so wonderful and down for all of it. Ahead of our shoot, we spoke extensively and held a call the morning of to go over last minute details and discuss wardrobe. She was so present throughout the entire experience and I would work with her again in a HEARTBEAT. Plus, I kind of just kind of want to be her BFF.

cope out the best spots and made us feel very comfortable during our event. She gave subtle suggestions for how to pose and took the most natural looking romantic photos. Her photos are very organic which is the main reason I chose her as our photographer. Because of the pandemic, she had a lot of events scheduled, so our pictures took a little longer than normal, but once we received our pictures, we were thrilled and our album turned out amazing! I would recommend Olivia to any bride I meet.

nd how beautiful the photos turned out. I plan on hiring for every single one of my future Michigan events.

and I would ask Olivia to photograph any future events! Thank you for capturing the best day of our lives!

t photos. Since it rained on my wedding day, my husband and I were unable to get outdoor photos at our venue which broke both of our hearts. However, Olivia offered to have us come back the next day to take all the photos we wished we had. We took her up on the offer and are so grateful for the day-after session photos. Absolutely stunning!! If you are looking for an incredible photographer that is affordable, dependable, and a pleasure to work with...then book Olivia!! You will not regret it!!!
