On WeddingWire since 2022
Who are you?
An artist jack of all trades: Fine Artist with a BFA in photography and painting, recreational lap swimmer & international touring cyclist, sustainable management MBA with a soft spot for organic gardening, and human caretaker to my New Zealand white rabbit, Bun. I’d also love to tell you about moving to San Francisco in 1999 with a dream of being a professional drum & bass DJ, or my too-big disco ball fiasco, but I’m supposed to keep this to just 3 things and I’m already at 4 or 5…
Why are you drawn to wedding photography?
The stories of love, celebration, friendships, family, beauty, creativity, meaning and ceremony all come together during the wedding day. Inviting me to tell your story is an honor and a professional responsibility that I deeply appreciate. Career-wise, I wouldn’t do anything else… and this ain’t no side hustle.
Wait, did you say Pet Rabbit?
Yep. I invite all of my clients to come to meet Bun (and me, but he’s cuter) in person at my Oakland studio + gallery. Sure, you’ll get to see album samples, gorgeous metal & wood fine art prints, plus hand-picked frame samples and fine art canvases. But most importantly you’ll get to meet Bun. We’ll relax (on the patio if the weather is nice, which is almost always is in Oakland) and we’ll get a big picture of the experience that you’d love to have on your wedding day.
PS: Technically, we can also meet via video chat or phone—especially if you live outside of California, but my California clients will all tell you that the experience of meeting your wedding photographer in-person is invaluable. There’s a trust that’s created from being invited into someone’s home, and a deeper level of understanding—personally as well as aesthetically. This trust becomes effortless comfort between you and your photographer, and that comfort flows into an indescribable ease + happiness in your imagery. #letsmeetinperson

I worked with Olivia on a creative styled shoot earlier this year, and can tell you that she is not only a talented photographer, but a lovely and dedicated professional! She took beautiful shots, and went above and beyond before, during, and after the shoot. I'll definitely be recommending Olivia to my clients, and would not hesitate to suggest her to any bride and groom looking for a wedding photographer.
