I’ve spent the last 13 years photographing weddings with my husband Brandon. We’re based in the San Francisco Bay Area where we spend our spare time working on our fixer upper mid-century home, gardening, getting lattes at our favorite local coffee shop or chatting around the firepit with our golden doodle, Maggie, taking the lead on entertainment.
We approach weddings in a different way than most photographers. A husband and wife team with film and digital photography, we capture the luxurious and lighthearted moments. Guiding you so you don’t feel posed, but rather, feel like you’re truly enjoying the time of your life with a laid back, yet uplifting style. We’re hands on when you need it, and tucked into the background when an unobtrusive approach is the answer. We want you to enjoy every single moment and to feel entirely at ease with us at your side.
We prioritize timelessly styled photography and an overall experience that is rounded off by joy and intention. The goal? A radiantly unique, light-filled and softly sophisticated experience that renders true to life imagery from your wedding. Not only brightening your wedding event while we work together, but adding more splendor to the minutes, months and years that follow. All thanks to photographs that bring you straight back to emotions that started it all.
Our work has been featured on Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes, Brides, and more.

We really cannot say enough wonderful things about Olivia and Brandon! They are the dream team and made me, my husband, and the entire bridal party feel so comfortable the entire day. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photographs - seriously, I look at them almost every day. We are thrilled with our decision choosing Olivia because we have timeless, elegant, fun, and candid photos to look back on for the rest of our lives! They guided us throughout the day as needed but always took into consideration what we wanted. We planned our wedding from all the way across the country and felt so confident in this team because they frequently checked in with us prior to wedding day to ensure we were on the same page. It made for a seamless day where my husband and I could just enjoy our special day. We highly recommend booking with Olivia for any occasion!

Great photographer and very focused!
Olivia and her husband were beyond helpful, not to mention their wonderful photography skills. They would help answer any questions we had and helped to really reduce stress for our "big day". Their personalities really help brighten our moods constantly. They both would always have a smile on their face while taking photos and from this, I really felt that they were very passionate about what they do. We love all the photos and were happy to work with you both!!

Olivia is amazing!
Olivia was one of the first wedding vendors we hired and we absolutely made THE BEST choice with her! She is so sweet and made us feel so comfortable at our engagement shoot as well as on our wedding day. The pictures we received are just stunning! I cannot stop looking at them! Olivia is so knowledgeable about not only photography, but about weddings in general! She was so organized the day of our wedding. Everything with her just flowed with no stress between, the multiple location for the photos and rounding up all the wedding party. I cannot recommend her enough! Hire her now!

Wonderful people to work with
I am truly so glad that we booked Olivia to photograph our wedding. We got our full gallery a few weeks ago and all of the photos turned out better than I could have imagined! Olivia and Brandon did a great job capturing all of the special moments from our big day and had great energy and direction. They struck a great balance of giving us direction and also capturing all the special little moments. It was simply the best experience.

Best decision we made!
Booking a photographer for our wedding was one of the most important and stressful decisions in the planning process. Well, it was stressful until we found Olivia. We feel in love with her aesthetic right away. After looking at a full gallery, we knew she was the one we wanted to photograph our wedding instantly. It was very apparent that she had an amazing aesthetic eye and a perfect documentary style that truly captured the feelings and emotions of such a special day.
Working with Olivia from start to finish was nothing less than a dream. Not only did we get an amazingly talented photographer, but she was professional, kind, prompt to respond to any questions, and always there to give guidance. On the big day, we had no problem putting all our trust in her to call the shots, and we are so happy we did. We just got our wedding gallery back and are in awe! Every picture in absolutely stunning.
The only issue you will run into when booking Olivia is trying to decide which photos to frame, because every picture is frame worthy. I recommend you do as I will, and just lean into making wallpaper out of all of the photos… there really is no other option! In summary, we can’t say enough kind things about Olivia. She is amazing, and you should book her immediately for any of your photography needs.

My 2-cents in 3 tips (Read #3 - trust me)
I found Olivia on instagram because of her whimsical editing skills - her photos are just so dreamy and exactly the aesthetic I was looking for when I was dreaming up our special day. When you are a novice bride you focus in on looks. But what you don't realize (or at least I didn't) is that there is SO MUCH MORE you should be paying attention to. The personality of a photographer is SO critical. (tip #1)
I consider myself lucky because while I chose Olivia for her beautiful work, what I really ended up getting was so much more than just photos.
Olivia is so kind, gentile, natural, and sweet. You need someone who can get shit done but also who is going to make you feel your best. Her work glows because she makes her couples/subject glow. That's the secret sauce and she has it.
Additionally, another thing they don't tell you is that photographers can be really rude to guests because they are on tight timelines and let me tell you as a guest to a wedding that is a really bad experience. She was so kind to all our guests. You want that. (tip #2)
We are so lucky to have picked Olivia for our wedding. I constantly am looking back at our wedding photos and pinch myself. She is so gifted at what she does, but what also sticks out is how she and her husband made us feel on our day and that shows.
Last tip for whoever is reading this: BOOK HER NOW! ;) (tip #3)

Just Perfection
I knew I wanted Olivia to photograph my wedding before I even got engaged. I had seen Olivia's work on Instagram and showed my (then) boyfriend pictures and said "one day, when we get married - this is the photographer we need." Lucky for me, he took note and ended up hiring Olivia to photograph his proposal to me in the Allied Arts Guild! We booked Olivia to photograph our wedding in Santa Barbara in October 2020, but then along came COVID... We ended up moving our wedding to September 2021 in Texas, and Olivia was so kind and flexible along every step of the way. Olivia and Brandon (her husband and second shooter) finally got to photograph our wedding on September 26 and everything went perfectly. We ended up a bit behind schedule for hair/make-up, but she never made us feel rushed and was able to get all of the pictures we wanted done efficiently and beautifully before the ceremony. She delivered a gallery of 30+ sneak peak photos a few days later while we were on our honeymoon and we were blown away with every one of them! Olivia is an amazing photographer and the biggest sweetheart. We haven't seen our full gallery yet, but we're positive that they will be INCREDIBLE. You will not regret booking her to photograph her for whatever you need!

Gorgeous Photos!
Olivia was one of the first vendors we hired. I saw her style of photography and was immediately hooked, we HAD to book her. Olivia had been photographing weddings since she was a teenager so I knew her experience was priceless. Not only are her photos beautiful with her warm lighting and vibrant tones, but the most important things she displayed was her friendliness. My husband and I are very camera shy people, and she made us feel so comfortable and loose in front of the camera. Her second shooter at weddings is her husband, and it was so refreshing to see how smoothly they helped everything go. They were so good at getting those candid moments and we are so so happy with how our photos turned out. Thank you much Olivia and Brandon!

Best experience!
Working with Olivia was a dream. She was so professional, everything was taken care of within a few emails and Pinterest boards. She was lovely to work with on our wedding day and had so many creative ideas! I can't stress enough - our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking!!!! She got every shot we could have asked for, and then some! We are so excited to have these photos hang in our home and have these memories as family heirlooms. She's so thoughtful, after the wedding she sent us a box filled with stunning prints and goodies. It was such a surprise! Thank you, Olivia!!
