About

I am a photographer based out of Troy, NY who specializes in photographing intimate weddings and elopements with a focus on client collaboration. Having a degree in photojournalism has definitely influenced my photography style! I aim to document those raw and unstaged moments as they unfold and step in when needed. My style could be described as authentic storytelling coupled with artistic and bold portraiture. My services are geared towards ensuring everything that makes your day yours is documented for you to cherish. I’m adventurous, and will literally climb and suspend myself in a tree or row out on a canoe to get the best shot (I've done both!) I also love to travel and am happy to work with you wherever your day unfolds.

If you’re looking for a photographer to tell the story of you & your partner’s love in an authentic & modern way, let’s talk!

A JOY to work with

Olivia shot our engagement & wedding photos and holy cow she is insanely talented and such a joy to work with. We're two people who have never had professional photos done before and weren't super familiar with being in front of a camera, but Olivia made the entire process so easy and fun for us. Not only is she a lovely human with a warm personality and easy demeanor, she also has amazing vision for capturing everything from the big moments to the details in a way that is so candid, dreamy, and authentic. We will treasure the photos she captured forever. If you value photography and are looking for a master of their craft, work with Olivia!

P.S. Our friends & family were so wowed by the engagement photos Olivia took of us that a) they've been using them as inspo for their own engagement shoots, and b) my brother already hired Olivia for his own wedding. She's THAT good.

Olivia is the best!

We hired Olivia for our wedding after she did a fantastic job photographing our friend’s wedding. We couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out. She nails the documentary style and takes classic timeless photos. She also was incredibly easy to work with. She was responsive to our questions and answered emails quickly. She was also an absolute delight on our wedding day. She put us at ease and it shows in our photos. We’re so thankful we have these beautiful mementos from our special day!!

Truly cannot recommend Olivia more highly

Not only does Olivia take the most stunning photos, but her care and professionalism are unmatched. She is a great communicator, very well organized, and a talented and creative artist. We felt completely supported by Olivia throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day, and trusted her completely throughout. She took on more responsibility than a photographer needs to and was helpful from the moment she arrived to the moment she left. Most of the vendors from our wedding were great, but there were only two (Olivia plus our florist) who deserve far more than the five stars we’re limited to—we’d give Olivia ten if we could!

Olivia captured our day perfectly!

We couldn’t have dreamt up a better photographer than Olivia! She has such a creative eye and took absolutely stunning photos. We were able to work out all the details prior to the big day which helped things to run smoothly and on time. She was very professional and made us feel so comfortable from the first time we chatted with her. We loved how she provided a calm presence on our wedding day!

We can’t get over how incredible Olivia’s photos turned out. We will truly cherish her photos for a lifetime! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Amazing experience with Olivia Nadel photography

Thank you thank you to Olivia for the most amazing experience working together planning and enjoying our wedding in Manhattan, NY. From our very first emails and video call, Olivia was kind, thoughtful and I could immediately tell she would get along with our families and guests. The prep questionnaire and scheduling tools were professional and thorough without requiring too much from us as a couple during the planning process. Olivia's style is super versatile and having seen her work span from vintage, farm-style events to city weddings (like ours) I'm confident she would knock any event out of the park. Highly recommend!

Talented and wonderful to work with!

Olivia is a talented and passionate photographer, an absolute joy to work with, and overall kind person. She recently photographed our September 2022 wedding, and we would whole heartedly recommend Olivia Nadel Photography.

Before the wedding we had a few calls to discuss our backgrounds, wedding details, desired aesthetics, particular shots, etc. During this Olivia was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I got a real sense of her passion for photography and her experience of wedding photography. She also took the time to understand us as a couple and what exactly we were looking for. She gave us insightful recommendations and guidance as well and offered a roll of 35mm film which we thought was very unique. Olivia also came to meet us in-person a few months prior at the venue to discuss location shots and final details. She really went above and beyond to make sure we were all fully prepared for the big day.

On the day of, she was extremely calm, focused, organized, and punctual. She knew exactly where she wanted to take photos for family, portraits, first looks, etc. She was able to wrangle in my 3- and 4-years old nieces for some photos as well! Olivia made me, and my husband feel very comfortable throughout the day, plus we stay on schedule! She kindly directed us in some poses and other times let us act natural, so we’d have a combination of posed and candid shots. We now have wonderful memories to look back on all thanks to Olivia. She is an expert at artfully capturing precious moments that will be cherish for a lifetime!

10/10 Recommend!

We absolutely loved Olivia and her work and would recommend her to anyone! From start to finish she was so easy and friendly to communicate and coordinate with. Olivia has a calm, relaxed-but-in-control approach that was so reassuring to have throughout our wedding weekend. She photographed our welcome party and wedding day and we are so pleased with her work during both events and with the finished photo products. My husband and I didn't know what types of shots we wanted, but she scoped out our location beforehand and came up with ideas for the perfect backdrops. She also created a day-of schedule that guided us and ensured we got the photos we wanted. We love the mix of candid and posed pictures and the way she edited and pulled everything together. Thank you, Olivia and Mike!!

Wedding Photographer Review


Olivia was amazing to work with. My husband and I first met her for our Fall engagement shoot when we were both very uncomfortable in front of a camera. But with Olivia’s easy going and fun personality and creative photography ideas were hugging and kissing and acting like lovebirds in front of the camera in no time!
From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Olivia was always quickly responsive to anything we needed. She was super open to all of my ideas on what I wanted to get on camera on our wedding day. We held our wedding on my parent's property and I had planned everything myself. That means that I did not have a wedding planner or anybody the day of to make sure things ran according to plan. I was very fortunate that Olivia stepped in on that regard! We had met before the wedding to go through the day’s timeline, and not only did Olivia complete all of her photography duties, but she helped the day run smoothly and kept me on track the entire day! She was honestly a lifesaver.
I was so happy with the final product from Olivia. Only a few days after the wedding we received beautiful sample photos from her that held us over until the entire gallery was finished. Now that I have the complete photo gallery, I have littered my entire house with wedding photos! I cannot get enough. She made our wedding day look like a fairytale. If anyone has had any doubts on using Olivia as your photographer, this is a sign to book her immediately! You will not be disappointed.

Five Stars!!! Elopement and Reception

Working with Olivia has been an absolute pleasure! We worked together at our Wedding Part 1/Elopement in June 2020 and with Olivia and Mike at our Wedding Part 2 reception in November 2021. For our June 2020 Wedding Part 1, Olivia travelled to the Lake George NY area for our ceremony. She was extremely helpful, professional, and reminded us to make it official and sign our marriage license! 😊 Olivia was very accommodating when I asked her to take photos afterward in the Lake Placid NY area and hike to get the photos. We went through different hike options and her input made for the best pictures! It was a very special day and we were so happy to share it with Olivia!

We had the pleasure of working with Olivia Nadel and second shooter Mike at our wedding part 2 in November 2021 - it was an absolute blast!! They effortlessly took care of getting all of the moments of the day on camera for us to cherish for years to come! We were so happy to have them with us and make us feel at ease during it all. They worked so well with all of our vendors - KOWE, Conway entertainment and Browns Brewing to name a few. Seriously - they are the best!!

Throughout planning 2 weddings in the pandemic, Olivia was extremely accommodating and ready with help and answers. We cannot recommend Olivia Nadel Photography enough!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
