About

I’ve spent the last 12 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.

    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!

    Engagement shoot!

    We hired Olivia for our engagement shoot and she did such an amazing job! From the start it was clear that she came early and found the perfect spots to take pictures. She was great at directing us (we are both super awkward) and in the process we had so much fun. I would definitely recommend hiring Olivia for your day or any type of photoshoot.

    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.

    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!

    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)

    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!

    Olivia is incredible!

    Olivia was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding - and she was extremely communicative and responsive for committing to all 3 (!) of the wedding dates we committed to while rescheduling our wedding.
    On the day of our wedding, I had full trust in Olivia to capture all the important moments and I could truly enjoy and experience the day.
    We were blown away when we received our photos - she had captured the day so perfectly. It seemed like she captured every special moment - from bridesmaids playing around while getting ready, laughter from each speech, and gorgeous shots of all our guests.
    She is a true professional to work with and we will treasure her photography for the rest of our lives!

    Sweet, light, bright and dreamy photos!

    We had booked Olivia 2 whole years before our actual wedding and she ended up photographing our wedding FINALLY 3 years after (due to COVID). Olivia was so flexible and supportive when we were freaking out that our wedding had to be cancelled/postponed during the lockdown; she rescheduled us twice throughout the pandemic.

    I have to say, her photography was one of the things I was looking forward to the most in getting married. As soon as we saw her photo in our venue catalog (when touring the venue), we knew we had to get married at that venue with the same photographer— we booked her and the venue that same day.

    The photos she takes just feel light, bright, airy, and happy. And let me tell you, I’ve looked at other photographers’ photos, but none could compare to the vibe Olivia’s gives off. She is so WORTH IT. She’s like a magician with her photos and just has a really great artistic eye!

    When we finally got married so many things went wrong (I wasn’t wearing my wedding jewelry, I forgot to fix the ribbon of my bouquet, STRESS lol), but honestly you couldn’t tell anything was wrong in the pictures! She came to the venue on time, advised us on timeline prior, and also was just a calming presence. Like I said, she’s a freakin’ magician who takes AMAZING photos.

    She’s super friendly, bubbly, warm, kind and just easy to work with. My family loved her and her easy-going nature (even my husband commented on how Olivia was just super super nice). I cannot recommend Olivia more than enough to anyone. If you’re looking for photos that are soft, romantic, light, and just would make you feel happiness when looking at it years later, Olivia’s definitely your girl.

    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!!

    Perfect photographer

    Wow we cannot even explain how happy we have been working with Olivia. I found her on Instagram and completely fell in love with her photography style. And even from our first phone call, my husband and I knew she would be the perfect photographer to capture our engagement photos and our wedding. We had never done any photos like this before, but Olivia coached us through so well - she was very responsive to our questions, she helped us with outfit choices, she knew the location and how to get the perfect photos. Despite one small wrinkle of having to postpone our engagement session due to Covid, she made the entire experience totally effortless. None of the day felt forced, staged, or awkward, and we love all our photos from that day.

    Prepping for the wedding, she was always available to answer questions and even spent time with us to help us finalize our day-of timeline. On our wedding day itself, all of our vendors even told us how effortless it was to work with Olivia and how she was such a wonderful partner. Just like our engagement session, she made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. To be honest, I didn’t really see them that much during the wedding ceremony or reception (other than our formal photos) - that’s because both Olivia and her second shooter (her husband) Brandon were completely unobtrusive. And yet somehow they managed to capture so many beautiful personal moments that happened during the day. We are beyond happy working with Olivia. Not only because of her organized and personable approach to planning but for the absolutely gorgeous magic she captures in her photographs.

    Olivia brought our dream wedding to life!

    If we could recommend Olivia to every single one of our engaged friends, we would! From the beginning stages of planning, she made everything so easy and was very transparent about the process, how she works, pricing, etc. We were able to meet up before the wedding and talk about our vision and key photos we wanted, and she was so personable, asked thoughtful questions, and brought our vision to life perfectly in our wedding photos. She and Brandon are a great team - they're attentive, assertive without being rude, and did an amazing job capturing our special day. We still reminisce over our photos and have new favorites every single week!

    The best wedding planning decision we made!

    Oliva is an absolute pleasure to work with, from start to finish. We are absolutely thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out, they are beyond any of our expectations! She is a technically-skilled photographer who is also responsive, extremely organized, and has a positive, upbeat, and very easy going personality - something that is very important because you essentially spend the majority of your wedding day with your photographer.

    We picked our wedding date based on Olivia’s availability, and I am so happy we did. Every vendor we booked after her immediately responded saying “I love working with Olivia, you are in great hands”. Olivia is truly one of the kindest people I have ever met. She has the most calm demeanor, which is exactly what you need on such a joyous, but hectic day.

    Working with Olivia was the best wedding planning decision we made and we can't wait to work with her again in the future!

    What a fantastic experience working with Olivia!

    We are so fortunate to have had the pleasure of having Olivia photograph our micro pandemic-appropriate wedding at Healdsburg end of October. Not only were her photography skills impeccable, she was such a joy and pleasure to be around! Very warm, bubbly, personable and yet very respectful and not "in the way" at all at our intimate wedding. We are blown away by the pictures we got from her - an absolute delight!

    Beautiful, Light-Filled Photography

    Olivia was one of the first vendors we hired (recommended by Andria Leigh Events!), and both our engagement and wedding photos are more stunning than I could've imagined. She and her husband did an incredible job capturing the whole day, from getting ready to the last songs of the night. We are so lucky to have had her eye for light and detail - the moments she was able to document were so meaningful. I can't recommend her enough!
