Intimate & Honest Photography

Hey there! I am based out of New Orleans but willing (and ready!) to travel to the ends of the earth for love.

Above anything else, I believe in telling the truth through my work. If there's anything you should know about working with me it is this: You can trust me. You can trust that I care about who you are. I put my heart into capturing who you are individually and as a couple. I unashamedly become attached to the people that I work with and by default, your adventure will become a part of mine.

We would work well together if you’re someone who values their marriage above their wedding day, if you’d feel content with a dirty dress at the end of the night, and most importantly, if it's important to you to have your photographs truthfully represent your wedding day. If this sounds like you, slide into my DMs 😉

An Amazing Investment For Your Wedding

Working with Olivia was an amazing experience. She made us feel seen and heard as a couple and really paid attention to the things that made us uniquely us. It is completely captured in her beautiful work. You can see the joy, the love, and the many tears of our wedding. We by no means had a big budget wedding but I feel like it was captured so well it could be in a wedding magazine. From the intimate attention to detail to the fun shots at the end of the night it was all captured beautifully. We are so pleased that these are the photos we will have to remember our wedding by. In a more practical sense, Olivia was also a vital component of our planning process. She was involved in our timeline creation and it helped us not feel rushed throughout the event. We cannot recommend her services strongly enough. Her work is high quality and as she further establishes herself in New Orleans I imagine her work will be in high demand.

Bride and Groom

I can hardly put into words how incredible Olivia is as a human being and a photographer. I followed Olivia on social media far before I was ever engaged. When we started selecting wedding vendors, Olivia as our photographer was the easiest decision we made. Her style is so beautifully real and natural. It mirrors the beauty in the moments she’s capturing. This is why I chose her. She traveled with us all the way to Hawaii where she took the most incredible photos I’ve ever seen in my life. We went back and forth for a long time on whether we should hire a videographer. Ultimately we decided not too in an effort to spend money elsewhere. I was still a bit sad about this decision up until we received our photos. After looking through so many beautiful photos that captured every intimate moment from the day we both agreed we never needed a videographer. The only problem we have is deciding which photos to have printed because we are in love with every single one.
Olivia will capture one of the most important days of your life in the most comfortable, natural and beautiful way. She was beyond worth everything we spent for photos. I promise if you are looking for a photographer and you have come across Olivia’s name you will not find anyone who will be better.

Where do I even begin? Hiring Olivia was the best choice I could have ever made for our wedding!! Her photos are authentic, her communication clear, and professionalism top notch!! I’m continuously looking back at the photos of our wedding to relive it. That’s how wonderfully talented Olivia is- she captures “moments” in time, making her artwork priceless. Olivia not only is incredibly talented, but she truly goes above and beyond to make everything perfect. We were asked a series of questions about which photos we wanted ahead of time, making the wedding day seamless. SHE ALSO DROVE 8 HOURS TO MAKE IT TO OUR WEDDING AFTER HER FLIGHT GOT CANCELLED! She then turned around 600++ photos in less than 5 weeks! 🔥She knows how important this day is to you and does everything in her power to make it perfect. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for our family. 🤍

Olivia is a GEM of a person who will help preserve life’s most sacred moments. You will not regret it.

Best decision ever!

Where to begin?! Olivia is the sweetest person and working with her truly makes you feel like you just gained a new best friend! She is insanely talented at what she does and I’m so glad we got to work together. She captures the most beautiful moments and her editing style is amazing! Having Olivia there on our wedding day was one of the best decisions we could’ve made!

Best Choice Ever

Olivia was such a joy to work with for our wedding, engagement and lifestyle photos. She is worth EVERY PENNY and more. She makes being in front of the camera so much more comfortable. She is sweet and kind and attentive and helped us navigate an extremely stressful wedding. If you are looking for beautiful, authentic photos to capture your love - you need Olivia in your life.

Capturing emotion and feeling effortlessly and joyfully!

Photography was my number 1 priority for my wedding dreams. It was a DREAM that Olivia was available for our intimate wedding in April 2021! I panic searched for a photographer about 2 months before and found Olivia and was desperate to work with her! Her open and smily disposition was the first thing I noticed and her mission to tell your story in the unique and personal way it should be told was the hook line and sinker for me.
She is so incredible to work with before the actual day too. She is so organized and helpful for such a stressful planning process that the wedding industry makes planning a wedding. It was definitely the easiest and most enjoyable part of planning for me! And on the actual day, she went with the flow and was such an easy and wonderful calm energy. Taking the couple shots after the wedding around the city of New Orleans was absolutely my favorite part of the day! It was so fun and relaxing with her and her husband. Just like hanging out with good friends.

I LOVE the many many results and the little details she captured for us to remember every aspect of the day that would otherwise fade away as well as such wonderful candids that have so much heart and emotion that my husband and family will cherish forever. COULD NOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH!

Thee Perfect Day 4.3.21

On 4.3.21, my wife and I arrived at City Park in New Orleans for elopement. We had browsed pics and thought we had found the perfect spot for our ceremony, but...the park was bustling with people and activities. Along comes our soft spoken photographer Olivia who suggested we start walking because she knows this perfect place in the park that would be perfect for us...it was just that, PERFECT! Olivia was attentive to detail and captured every emotion presented. She asked that we bask in those moments, live in them and she went to work with her camera. Previews were readily available almost immediately, and the full gallery was readily available weeks before the deadline. We are amazed at the quality and quantity of her work. We are forever grateful to her for capturing our day with her lens. We’ll definitely visit New Orleans again and have already planned to have her capture us again. She is the best and our recommendation to all is to stop looking and start booking. Kim + Sunshine

Olivia is the best!!

We are obsessed with our wedding photos! I am usually very uncomfortable having my picture taken, but Olivia made us feel very relaxed. Our photos look so natural and are exactly what we were hoping for. She was also very quick to get us several preview photos back. We are beyond happy with our experience and would highly recommend Olivia as a wedding photographer!!

Able to capture what we didn't know we were missing

Olivia first and foremost encourages her clients to be themselves and comfortable. She was able to take what we wanted (and much more didn't even know we wanted), communicate her vision with us, and turn meld into an amazing display of what our relationship is about: embracing the awkward, funny, and cherishing one another. From our engagement photo sessions to the wedding shoots, she's present, active, and dreaming of how to capture the moments and essence of what's happening. I would, without a doubt, recommend her to my best of friends, acquaintances, and strangers alike.

Fantastic & Professional

Olivia is a brilliant photographer. We had the privilege of having her shoot our wedding in April of this year. She arrived promptly to our rehearsal, as well as the day of our wedding, and was professionally dressed and prepared on both occasions. She skillfully adapted to several last-minute requests for poses and family photos, even coordinating her efforts with our videographer to ensure that she was maximizing the quality of photos taken. Olivia has an intangible way of creating an atmosphere of comfort that draws out a natural, fun-loving ease during sessions. She knows how to evoke the affection needed to capture breathtakingly pure moments. Olivia expediently had nearly 900 photos masterfully edited and shared with us onto a digital photo album. The pictures were perfectly categorized and easy to share and download with family and friends. When we reviewed our photos, my wife and I were completely enchanted with them. The photos transcended any expectations we had. Our every desire was accommodated or over-delivered on. We simply cannot recommend Olivia Yuen enough! On a personal note, we appreciate you, Olivia, for giving us the gift of a lifetime: precious moments that we can forever cherish and share with our future children and grandchildren. As memories fade, the photographs will always remain. Thank you. Sincerely, Victor & Melissa A.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
