We love Linda!

Linda is a wonderful photographer! She really goes all out to help you and your loved ones have the best day possible, while not being "in the way" at all on the big day. She is punctual and gets the job done.

Amazing Photographer!!!

Linda was amazing, flexible, and still respectful of our day. She got great shots, dealt so well with everyone wanting their own pictures, had great ideas for how to pose/etc., and I got so many compliments from my guests at how personable and helpful she was. Highly recommend!

So much more than a photographer

My fiancé and I met with Linda after getting engaged and immediately felt comfortable with her. We loved our engagement photo session with her (she knew our dog was our baby and got some incredible photos of our little spaz posing like an angel) and looked forward to the magic she would work for our big day. Unfortunately, covid came along and we had to postpone our wedding multiple times. Linda stuck with us every step of the way and communicated with us quickly and openly to help us secure a new date. Out of all of our vendors, we knew we couldn’t lose Linda, so we ended up picking our final wedding date based on her availability.
Our wedding day finally came and Linda and Shawn were incredible. Not only were the pictures everything we could have dreamed of, but they helped with so much more than that - pinning boutonnieres that our flower delivery girl didn’t help with, pulling bobby pins out of thin air after my dad accidentally ripped my veil out of my hair (seriously, I had no idea Linda would have an emergency supply kit on her), wrangling drunken groomsmen for pictures, etc. She was not just a photographer, she was a full on wedding coordinator. On top of all of that, Linda got us a preview of a few pictures before leaving for our honeymoon the next week and had our entire collection done quickly.
*Bonus points: as a plus woman, I don’t always love every picture of myself, especially candids. Without really communicating that to Linda, she managed to get the perfect angles that minimized my least favorite parts of myself so that I could fall in love with every single photo from our big day! I cannot wait for her to photograph our family in the future.

An amazing photography experience!

We loved Linda Rivard photography! My husband and I were married during Covid and they were so flexible and able to accommodate exactly what we needed for our big day(s). Linda and Shawn were so fun a sweet and had great ideas for unique photos as well as traditional ones. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants beautiful photos!

10000% would recommend!!!

We had worked with Linda at a previous wedding where both of us were in the wedding party. We knew on that day that we wanted to hire Linda for our own wedding. She is absolutely amazing and prompt with communication. We did our engagement photos with her as well and she got those back to us quickly. Her assistant Shawn is amazing as well. On the day she will wear as many hats as she needs to. She is not afraid to step in when she needs to, will help without prompting (my bustle was complicated!!) and basically doubles as a wedding coordinator. She gives you a specific timeline and is flexible depending on what your needs are. When given a photo list she somehow is able to wrangle everyone and make sure all of them are taken in a timely manner. On the day she took us to a couple of parks that a lot of people go to for photos, but she adjusts based on elements such as weather, and if she sees a spot that she thinks would be amazing. It was a very hot day and she made sure we stayed in the shade as much as we could. She found a cool spot at the second park and immediately got us to take photos there. She was amazing the whole day, answered questions, and helped out with other things when needed. She was amazing and I highly recommend her for whatever event you have planned!

Summer wedding!

We loved having Linda and Shawn shoot our wedding! They were amazing to work with and made our day perfect! They captured each moment so perfectly. From family to friends, each shot turned out great. They were great with our kids and made them feel comfortable and got amazing smiles out of them. I couldn’t recommend them enough. We now look forward to all our family shoots with Linda! Amazing photographer!

Linda and Shawn were so great to work with. This is the third wedding Linda has photographed for my family and her work NEVER disappoints!! Linda has great communication and is easy to get ahold of by either email or phone. She tells you exactly what to do for photos and makes the day easy and so memorable. I was able to give Linda a list of specific family photos I wanted and she was able to get all of them in a quick matter of time (since I had a lot) Linda’s work is beautiful and I highly recommend her!!! Thank you Linda for capturing all the special moments of Braden and I’s day!!

The BEST! Beautiful, quality photos at a great value and personalized to you. HIGHLY recommend!

We were so lucky to be referred to Linda. We meshed so well with her personality-wise and felt so comfortable with her during the shoots. She adjusts her process and approach to meet your needs and is wonderfully talented! She was extremely responsive and helped us organize our wedding day, which changed a lot throughout the course of the months leading up to our day, due to COVID. She was also very supportive and flexible with us during the ups and downs of the pandemic. Our photos turned out far beyond our expectations. She was able to capture emotions and feelings from a couple who doesn't take a lot of photos. We loved the final product and the experience as a whole and would absolutely recommend her and retain her again in the future! Thank you, Linda!!

10/5 Stars!!!

I cannot speak highly enough about Linda Rivard and her assistant. Linda did our engagement shoot and we quickly got to know about her and her sweet dog. She is very personable and professional! She eased us into the whole process and we were able to become very comfortable with her which helped get some really unique shots. Her and her assistant Sean on the day of the wedding stepped up to every occasion. Sean was fixing my bracelet before I even met him that day! They had a really funny competition going on to see who could get the best shots for every pose. Very fun and light hearted! On my wedding day, it poured all the way until we got to the reception. We had to scratch pretty all of our plan A photo-op stops. Linda assured me we would get great pictures at Ameristar Casino which is covered and she was right! The photos her and Sean were able to capture on a last minute photo spree were awe inspiring. She matched the photography style I liked to a T and it made the whole day enjoyable. Also, let me assure you that she will take charge of every situation and make things super smooth for the whole day. I cannot thank her enough for making my entire day spectacular!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
