Where do I even begin??? I discovered Twig and Olive during my search for wedding photographers when one of my best friends recommended them to me. She wasn’t one of their clients, however she says she has followed them for quite some time on Instagram and when I told her what my wedding photography visions were, she said “Twig and Olive!” And I was like who and who??? Upon perusing through their portfolio, I was instantly in love. First of all, we are from New Jersey - we have a reputation for not being the nicest here, and speaking with Bobbi over the phone for our initial consultation, that midwest charm really comes through and it truly felt like being wrapped in a warm hug! We picked the package with 2 photographers + engagement session + anniversary session and the prices were competitive and more affordable compared to other photographers in our area that had a similar style. When Doug flew to NJ for our engagement session, we clicked immediately! He is so fun and made us feel so comfortable, and when Doug & Bobbi came back for our wedding, our families and friends said the same! They are so organized, so professional and worked well with all of our other vendors, and did I mention FUN??? They made us laugh, cry (in a good way), and they captured BEAUTIFUL photos. And it didn’t even stop there. The wedding package afterwards, the album, the gift prints, the packaging, everything - AMAZING! Their packaging is so well thought-out, and they truly make you feel like family and not just a client. I cannot recommend them enough. I will definitely be calling on them for future big life events. Thank you so much Doug, Bobbi, Courtney and Darcy!!!

We loved the photos on Twig & Olive's website, and when we met with them, we knew we wanted to work with them. Bobbi was our photographer for both our engagement photos and for our wedding day. She did a great job of making us and the rest of the wedding party feel comfortable while getting pictures taken. We also liked that we didn't spend the whole day posing for photos, but rather got a lot of more candid photos taken so that we could really focus on the day itself. We highly recommend Twig & Olive!

Twig & Olive is hands down the best photographer we’ve ever worked with, and we were lucky to have Courtney shoot our engagement session and wedding. They were our first choice for photographers, and were the first vendor we contacted as soon as we booked our venue.

We did our engagement session at a tree farm in December and Courtney came prepared with ideas for settings and poses. The session was fun and easy — it was the groom’s first time working with T&O and he was blown away by Courtney’s direction of the entire shoot.

T&O stayed in touch throughout our wedding planning so we would know when photos were going to be available, deadlines of when they needed information from us, and having a quick pre-wedding conversation to make sure she knew what we wanted and so that she’d be aware of any potential concerns.

On our wedding day, she was everywhere all the time. It’s amazing how many moments she captured. The photos tell the entire story of our wedding day: the wedding party getting ready, the details of our venue and all the day’s festivities. We will cherish these pictures forever. Some of them serve as reminders of ephemeral moments we had nearly forgotten in the stress of our big day. :-)

She and her crew knew how and when to capture beautiful, unique moments. For example, Courtney made sure to grab us for photos as the sun set over Lake Mendota. In the blur of our wedding reception, we certainly would have missed this ourselves, and it speaks to her professionalism and experience as a photographer to know exactly how and when to get the most of out a special, fleeting moment.
