    We love Linda!

    Linda is a wonderful photographer! She really goes all out to help you and your loved ones have the best day possible, while not being "in the way" at all on the big day. She is punctual and gets the job done.

    Amazing Photographer!!!

    Linda was amazing, flexible, and still respectful of our day. She got great shots, dealt so well with everyone wanting their own pictures, had great ideas for how to pose/etc., and I got so many compliments from my guests at how personable and helpful she was. Highly recommend!

    So much more than a photographer

    My fiancé and I met with Linda after getting engaged and immediately felt comfortable with her. We loved our engagement photo session with her (she knew our dog was our baby and got some incredible photos of our little spaz posing like an angel) and looked forward to the magic she would work for our big day. Unfortunately, covid came along and we had to postpone our wedding multiple times. Linda stuck with us every step of the way and communicated with us quickly and openly to help us secure a new date. Out of all of our vendors, we knew we couldn’t lose Linda, so we ended up picking our final wedding date based on her availability.
    Our wedding day finally came and Linda and Shawn were incredible. Not only were the pictures everything we could have dreamed of, but they helped with so much more than that - pinning boutonnieres that our flower delivery girl didn’t help with, pulling bobby pins out of thin air after my dad accidentally ripped my veil out of my hair (seriously, I had no idea Linda would have an emergency supply kit on her), wrangling drunken groomsmen for pictures, etc. She was not just a photographer, she was a full on wedding coordinator. On top of all of that, Linda got us a preview of a few pictures before leaving for our honeymoon the next week and had our entire collection done quickly.
    *Bonus points: as a plus woman, I don’t always love every picture of myself, especially candids. Without really communicating that to Linda, she managed to get the perfect angles that minimized my least favorite parts of myself so that I could fall in love with every single photo from our big day! I cannot wait for her to photograph our family in the future.

    An amazing photography experience!

    We loved Linda Rivard photography! My husband and I were married during Covid and they were so flexible and able to accommodate exactly what we needed for our big day(s). Linda and Shawn were so fun a sweet and had great ideas for unique photos as well as traditional ones. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants beautiful photos!

    10000% would recommend!!!

    We had worked with Linda at a previous wedding where both of us were in the wedding party. We knew on that day that we wanted to hire Linda for our own wedding. She is absolutely amazing and prompt with communication. We did our engagement photos with her as well and she got those back to us quickly. Her assistant Shawn is amazing as well. On the day she will wear as many hats as she needs to. She is not afraid to step in when she needs to, will help without prompting (my bustle was complicated!!) and basically doubles as a wedding coordinator. She gives you a specific timeline and is flexible depending on what your needs are. When given a photo list she somehow is able to wrangle everyone and make sure all of them are taken in a timely manner. On the day she took us to a couple of parks that a lot of people go to for photos, but she adjusts based on elements such as weather, and if she sees a spot that she thinks would be amazing. It was a very hot day and she made sure we stayed in the shade as much as we could. She found a cool spot at the second park and immediately got us to take photos there. She was amazing the whole day, answered questions, and helped out with other things when needed. She was amazing and I highly recommend her for whatever event you have planned!

    Summer wedding!

    We loved having Linda and Shawn shoot our wedding! They were amazing to work with and made our day perfect! They captured each moment so perfectly. From family to friends, each shot turned out great. They were great with our kids and made them feel comfortable and got amazing smiles out of them. I couldn’t recommend them enough. We now look forward to all our family shoots with Linda! Amazing photographer!

    Linda and Shawn were so great to work with. This is the third wedding Linda has photographed for my family and her work NEVER disappoints!! Linda has great communication and is easy to get ahold of by either email or phone. She tells you exactly what to do for photos and makes the day easy and so memorable. I was able to give Linda a list of specific family photos I wanted and she was able to get all of them in a quick matter of time (since I had a lot) Linda’s work is beautiful and I highly recommend her!!! Thank you Linda for capturing all the special moments of Braden and I’s day!!

    The BEST! Beautiful, quality photos at a great value and personalized to you. HIGHLY recommend!

    We were so lucky to be referred to Linda. We meshed so well with her personality-wise and felt so comfortable with her during the shoots. She adjusts her process and approach to meet your needs and is wonderfully talented! She was extremely responsive and helped us organize our wedding day, which changed a lot throughout the course of the months leading up to our day, due to COVID. She was also very supportive and flexible with us during the ups and downs of the pandemic. Our photos turned out far beyond our expectations. She was able to capture emotions and feelings from a couple who doesn't take a lot of photos. We loved the final product and the experience as a whole and would absolutely recommend her and retain her again in the future! Thank you, Linda!!

    10/5 Stars!!!

    I cannot speak highly enough about Linda Rivard and her assistant. Linda did our engagement shoot and we quickly got to know about her and her sweet dog. She is very personable and professional! She eased us into the whole process and we were able to become very comfortable with her which helped get some really unique shots. Her and her assistant Sean on the day of the wedding stepped up to every occasion. Sean was fixing my bracelet before I even met him that day! They had a really funny competition going on to see who could get the best shots for every pose. Very fun and light hearted! On my wedding day, it poured all the way until we got to the reception. We had to scratch pretty all of our plan A photo-op stops. Linda assured me we would get great pictures at Ameristar Casino which is covered and she was right! The photos her and Sean were able to capture on a last minute photo spree were awe inspiring. She matched the photography style I liked to a T and it made the whole day enjoyable. Also, let me assure you that she will take charge of every situation and make things super smooth for the whole day. I cannot thank her enough for making my entire day spectacular!

    Linda made our day absolutely perfect!

    From our very first meeting with Linda we were completely sold. She was professional, yet we felt super comfortable with her and told her point blank what we wanted- to have fun, be organized (we have a massive family and wedding guest list), and get beautiful pictures! She did exactly that. She wrote out a day of timeline right then and there for us at our first meeting. With that we were able to plan our day much more effectively! At our engagement session she coached us and made us laugh and took amazing pictures we didn't even know we were capable of taking! On our wedding day her and Shawn took beautiful photos, but also did so much more. They let us be crazy and fun and feel comfortable, they were bossy when they needed to be but always with a smile and we knew they truly wanted the best for us and our families and wedding party. Shawn also made sure Eli (the groom) never had an empty drink. We felt we were severely underpaying them, they did fantastic work and spent our whole day with us, keeping everyone on schedule and looking good. When they told us it was time for them to go we were begging them to stay just to enjoy the party! Of course being the professionals they are they politely declined. If we could give them 10 stars out of 5 we would. We cannot brag enough about Linda and Shawn!

    Linda is Excellent!

    Linda was amazing! Her professionalism, skill, and friendly personality are what made our experience so great. We loved our engagement shoot (which was included in the package). The wedding day was perfect and she was able to capture so many amazing images. It is clear that she loves what she does!

    Wedding photographer

    Linda has the absolute best personality for dealing with a stressed out bride! She always was quick to figure things out or change things up as needed. She was so easy going and fun to work with. Couldnt have asked for a better photographer!

    Linda went above and beyond!!!!

    I couldn’t have picked a better photographer! Linda knew how everything should go and was fully aware of everything we wanted and exceeded our expectations! She is very knowledgeable and knows a lot of the ins and outs of things. Her skills are beyond measure and if needing any family photos in the future we will be sure to go through her!

    Great experience, Great Price!

    Linda is GREAT to work with! She was referred by a past coworker and I was pleased with our experience and end product. She is very talented and knowledgeable! Also VERY affordable for those bride and grooms on a budget. I would HIGHLY recommend Linda Rivard Photography.

    Amazing Experience

    If you are looking for a photographer to ease all your worries, keep your big day on track, all while capturing the most perfect photos, you absolutely need to consider having Linda photograph your wedding! Linda captured both our engagement photos, as well as our wedding photos and I honestly am in love with all of them! With that being said, I can be very picky when it comes to photos, but the whole experience was very natural and it definitely showed in our photos! I highly recommend Linda to anyone, as I know they will love their photos and experience as much as we did!

    Captured every moment!

    Linda Rivard and teammate, Sean went above and beyond to make sure that she took every photo that my daughter wanted. She kept our huge family organized and together while photographing FABULOUS SHOTS. She sent a fewsneak peek photos for us and we are SUPER EXCITED. She has the experience, knowledge, breath and scope of photography and kept a large bridal party ON TRACK! (Trust me, I've had others who could NOT do that!) She was calm, cool and made sure that this vital part of my daughters wedding was captured. We felt confident upon meeting Linda and now, extremely confident in our recommendation to you!

    I cannot say enough good things about Linda. My Fiance and I were
    looking for a photographer when I called Linda and after just a 15 min
    conversation on the phone I knew she was going to be our photographer.
    Linda met with us prior to the big day to do some engagement photos
    (which came out amazing) and it really helped me feel comfortable since
    I normally hate myself in photographs and I saw the magic she worked.
    The day of the wedding Linda went above and beyond. She helped with last
    minute planning and even moved the bridal party along when I was having
    a hard time managing a large group. She is very considerate and made our
    pictures so special, beautiful, unique and very personal.
    I love the photos we have from the wedding, and coming from a bride who
    hates 9/10 photos she takes that is saying alot!

    Linda and her assistant, Shawn (a.k.a. MacGyver), did beyond an incredible job photographing our wedding yesterday. From our very first meeting to the final goodbye at the end of the night, we couldn't have asked for better professionals to capture our day. Linda is commanding in the BEST way and makes sure everything runs smoothly and on time, but is up for a change of plans at the drop of a hat. She's a planner, but knows things can change at a moment's notice, which is so important when it comes to weddings. Shawn was prepared with Shout Wipes when one of the bridesmaids got her dress dirty, scissors when some of the tulle on my dress tore, and Bobby pins when hair was misbehaving. With respect to the photos themselves, they showed us many shots (on their camera screens) after they were taken and they were positively stunning and more than we could have dreamed of!

    If you're considering other photographers, stop; no one could ever compare to this duo!

    Linda is genuinely amazing!! We were so grateful to have her as our wedding photographer, and only have positive things to say about her. From the engagement photos to the day of, she is very easy-going, and simultaneously kept our huge family on track (and managed to get all the kiddos to smile!). We felt like she was part of our crew, and as a couple that feels a little uncomfortable around the camera, she and her assistant took away any unease. Our family and friends have given us numerous unsolicited compliments about Linda, and if we could do it all over again, we would choose her in a heartbeat. All of our thanks to Linda!!

    I first met Linda at my sister's wedding two years ago. She was great! She always is so quick to take control of the situation
    to ensure that you'll get all of the photos you are hoping for and to stay on your time schedule. So it was a no-brainer for us when it came to selecting our photographer. Having a winter wedding, we were up against the daylight and Linda did a remarkable job creating a plan of attack for us and suggesting seasonal spots for the photos. We are beyond happy with everything she did. She's even thoughtful with non-photo related suggestions. We just love her!

    Hiring Linda Rivard as our photographer was probably one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding! We wre married in August of 2017. She was extremely kind, helpful, professional. She did our engagement shoot and we were so comfortable with her! We loved how our pictures turned out! She even gave us an extra mini session because she loved an idea we had of doing a shoot on the ice at Steinburg. Linda is extremely responsive and quick to call or text back. She was amazing on the wedding day itself. She really helped keep a timeline going for the day! We had some issues with the venue next door (Lemp Mansion) who were having an outdoor jazz festival next to our outdoor wedding. We changed our ceremony time to accommodate this, but we could still hear it during any time our music was not playing during the reception, which could really cause issues during speeches. Linda went over to Lemp Mansion herself to find out when there would be a break in music so that we could have our toasts and speeches done then! She is a remarkable person, so accommodating and yet so professional. She is amazing! She even helped the boys put their boutonnieres on! And as a plus, she was the most affordable photographer I found with 2 shooters for 8 hours! Her assistant Kim was also wonderful. I cannot recommend Linda Rivard Photography highly enough! My sisters are also looking forward to her shooting their weddings (probably years from now, but they loved her!) and a friend has also set up a portrait session for her daughter with Linda. I really cannot recommend her highly enough!

    I can't say enough about how much we love Linda!! From our engagement photos to the wedding day, she was so great with us. She rolled with the punches, made sure all of my many requests were met, and made our day run so smoothly. We were so impressed with how she handled the family photos after the ceremony, organizing everyone and keeping things running quickly. She kept us on schedule all day, but still made it feel relaxed and let us have time to enjoy the day. We cannot WAIT to see our photos, but if they are anything like our engagement photos we know we will be blown away. We had our dogs join us for our photos and she did SO well with them, getting them to focus and be calm for the camera and capturing some truly adorable memories. We wish we could have Linda follow us around with her camera every day! Thank you SO much!!

    Linda was one of the best choices my husband and I made while planning. As wedding amateurs Linda walked us through our day with total confidence--just her arriving morning of gave me some relief from my welling anxiety. Linda went above and beyond her job description as she wrangled family members to take group photos and even found us a good location to shoot outside during torrential rain (the record high for St. Louis). She is so friendly that some guests thought we knew her on a personal basis. While I haven't seen all the photos yet, our engagement photos were gorgeous and I can't imagine the wedding photos will be anything but. Her assistant Shawn was also amazing and kept the rowdy groomsmen at bay while taking photos. Every single time we talked to Linda before and during the wedding I was reminded why we chose her- she's relaxed, confident, and does really great work. We absolutely loved having her as part of our day, we could not have made a better choice.

    Linda is Fantastic! Our pictures turned out so much more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I gave her pretty much free rein on locations because I trusted her artistic eye and I could not be more thankful that I did. Additionally, she far exceeded her duties and helped to keep everything and everyone moving smoothly and on time on our wedding day! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Linda was excellent to work with! She is easy going but knows how to take charge of a wedding party! I would highly recommend Linda to anyone, I have had several friends use her for their weddings and continue to use her after they start a family. You can't go wrong with Linda's quality of photos and at such a reasonable price! Plus she gives discounts for references!

    Linda was so great at making us feel comfortable and not too posed for every picture. We wanted more natural and candid pictures and she did the best job! We also had our two dogs in the engagement pics and wedding, and they were captured in every moment. She made the day perfect! Highly recommended!

    Linda Rivard is amazing! So glad my husband and I chose her for our wedding. Thrilled with hundreds of amazing photos that we can share with our friends! I'd HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. Affordable and flexible.

    Linda was absolutely incredible. Not only was she very responsive and friendly leading up to the wedding, she was so knowledgable and easy to work with that, as a first time bride, I knew I was in great hands. And on the day of the wedding, she was on point. Seriously, she was invaluable. She already had picked out several beautiful locations for our pictures and worked through our lengthy list of photo requests efficiently and in a fun, easy-going manner, keeping us on schedule but still keeping things light and celebratory. During the reception, she got all of the important moments and wasn't afraid to go from taking candids of our guests, to pausing them for a posed picture. We got so many compliments on how friendly she was. And the photos--just breathtaking. My husband, family, and I could not be happier. Linda was just a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and her work speaks for itself. I cannot recommend her enough.

    Linda and Shawn photographed my daughter's wedding about a month ago and did her engagement photos before that. What an amazing duo!!! I can't imagine this wedding without both of them. Linda was not only our photographer, but was there to help with boutonnières, organizing, and great ideas for beautiful pictures. Shawn was a terrific photographer and there to fan us, calm us, and fix the bride's dress when a terrible mishap occurred! We found them from a friend who had used Linda and I was told she was wonderful, reasonably priced, and very accommodating. I can't say enough! Other photographers treat you like they are doing you a favor. Linda and Shawn could not do enough for us and we could not be more happy! Thank you both! You were incredible and made this wedding even more special!!

    Once you meet Linda you'll understand why she doesn't have to really advertise. She's not only friendly, caring and professional, but she truly cares about all her brides. We met 5+ years ago as my husband and I were planning our big day. I'm a thinker and quickly get overwhelmed with choices. I'm also extremely picky when it comes to photography since I have a background in television. However, after meeting Linda, we knew immediately. In fact, as we left her house, we turned around and gave her our deposit. Needless to say, that exchange 5+ years is one that began a foundation of not only her photographing our wedding, but truly becoming a trusted member of our extended family. We trust her inexplicably with our growing family. She's watched our family begin with just the two of us to our final count with our 3 kids. We know she'll always be there for us and we would do anything for her! So if you are looking for not only a great photographer with AMAZING skills but an awesome person willing to do what it takes to make your big special, she's your girl!

    Linda was incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout our entire experience with her. She worked with our budget, was friendly, professional, and talented. She made us feel very comfortable because she never treated us like a client but more like a friend. I would recommend Linda to any couple!

    Linda was a great pick for our photographer! We couldn't be happier with how our pictures turned out. She was prompt at responding to any emails/texts/phone calls. Also, we got our pictures back in just over two weeks! If you haven't booked a photographer yet I highly suggest giving Linda a call you won't regret it!

    Linda was the best photographer we could have imagined using for our wedding and engagement. She was quick to respond to questions and concerns, she is very talented and produces great pictures, and she was both professional and personable. We had two engagement sessions done and we also ordered the guest book using our pictures which was great and something we will cherish. We are so looking forward to seeing our wedding photos! We will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the St. Louis area.

    I cannot say enough great things about Linda and her assistant Pat. She really got to know us and helped us find what we wanted! After our engagement session I noticed a few things about how my husband and I posed that I didn't like, I mentioned it to Linda and she really listened and helped us avoid those things on our big day. Linda was so flexible as our schedule changed, she helped us work out the whole schedule and made sure we kept it. On our wedding day Linda was on time and on the job. She was so helpful with everything, even helped to button my dress when we were having trouble. I am so glad to have had Linda with us for our wedding!

    Our wedding day received an amazing gift in Linda. Her talent and eye for beauty shine through in every photograph. Each memory of our special day is preserved in flawless color or black and white. Almost every photo looks magazine ready! The service you get when you choose Linda Rivard as your photographer is unparalleled. She had so many suggestions for amazing shots and catered to my every desire... Even when I wanted my bridal party to climb a fountain in Forest Park, she coordinated the photo to perfection. We are so thankful for her talent and her appreciation of how important our wedding day was and is to us. I urge all St. Louis area brides to consider Linda as their photographer. She will do everything in her power to achieve your vision of your wedding. Thank you Linda for making us feel so special and for helping us to remember our wedding day with joy for years to come. -Amanda and Christopher Crooks

    Many of my friends had used Linda Rivard for their wedding photos and loved her so much that I knew I wanted to use her as well. I was not disappointed! Linda really listened to what my husband and I were looking for during our wedding day and took it into account throughout the day. She kept us at ease throughout the process, and was always quick to get posed photos done with my father, because she knew he hated getting his picture taken! All the photos show how comfortable she and her 2nd photographer Shawn made us feel. Linda was also a constant source of wedding knowledge (like which finger did I put my engagement ring on during the ceremony) and was so full service that she even helped me bustle my dress! When we got the photos back I was absolutely thrilled with how beautiful they were. I'm so happy that we used Linda to capture our special day. If I had to do it again, I would definitely hire her again!

    We are working with Linda for our wedding and let me just say that after meeting with other photographers she was a breath of fresh air. She is very down to earth, and her style is exactly what we are going for - not overly posed but more candid shots from the event. She is easy to get into contact with, she provides a printed photo as well as a CD with all of your digital images and she was willing to work with us to design a package that met our specific financial goals. Overall there are not enough nice things I can say about her!

    Linda was a pleasure to work with. She was very professional and knew how to keep everyone moving in order to make all of our photography locations on time. She was willing to meet all of our picture requests and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable for not only us, but also our wedding party and our guests. And her pictures look great too! We are very happy with her service!

    My now-husband and I heard about Linda from my cousin, who hired her for her engagement photos. We did the same, and loved Linda right off the bat. She had a creative vision for what us "laypeople" couldn't have seen - suggesting different shots and scenery that resulted in beautiful, vibrant pictures. We used those for our Save the Dates, and family and friends continue to ask me for copies -- and that was one year ago!

    We then worked with Linda again for our wedding date, Nov. 1, 2014, and to say she was my favorite person to work with would be a huge understatement. Not only did she again lead the charge in finding us beautiful places to capture our special day, but she was the jack of all trades for the day. She even offered to get me double-sided tape (and thought of it) during a slight wardrobe issue, and was extremely helpful in wrangling our huge wedding party for pictures. I told her she should be a wedding coordinator because she was more efficient and authoritative -- yet SUPER friendly -- than the multiple wedding coordinators I'd previously interviewed/worked with.

    I haven't seen our full photos yet, but I'm sure they'll be nothing short of spectacular.

    I love Linda and can't wait to continue working with her as long as she's in the business! I can't imagine anyone better to capture the rest of our family landmarks along the way. Thank you, Linda!!

    We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Linda. She is professional and takes her work very seriously, but also very fun-loving and a breeze to work with. Linda made us feel so comfortable getting photographed and impressively corralled a very large wedding party! We are so pleased with the finished product and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional photographer for any event!

    Linda was a fantastic photographer. Very professional and punctual. I (the husband) was worried about posed pictures, as I do not like my posed smiles. Linda made everyone very comfortable, so everything looked natural. At the reception we barely noticed her once the staged photo opportunities were finished, which was surprising since the venue was pretty open and not that large. Linda was also very reasonable with her pricing, and was willing to work with us. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that has an outdoor venue, this seems to be her speciality.

    Linda was wonderful to work with! She got all the pictures done that we requested, and was very professional. I was especially happy that she gives a copy of all the photos on a CD and prints them all out for you as well. This is unusual in her profession. I don't think I could have asked for anything else!

    I am sure I am repeating what everyone else says about Linda, but it is true she is fantastic. No wonder why she is so desirable to use in St. Louis. I hope that my experience with her was different than anyone else, but I guess it was not. As she became a part of the wedding and family.

    She not only was the role of the photographer, but when the coordinator was no where to be found, Linda stepped in and made sure things ran smoothly from bustling and fixing my dress to the cutting of the cake, then onto the to the speeches and dances. Making sure that we, the bride and groom, were not bother with questions, so we could enjoy our night.

    We also received the edited wedding pictures within a week of returning from our honeymoon. After flipping through them we thought, how did she take such capture these inmate moments that were outstanding and exactly want we wanted. Thank you Linda for capturing our amazing day with the vision we had in mind.

    We used Linda Rivard for our daughter's wedding! She is fabulous and highly recommended! Linda gives you the personal touch you deserve! She is very efficient and organized! She has ideas to make your photos personal and unique! You can tell that she really loves what she does and is exceptional doing it! Linda goes beyond the call of duty on the wedding day...helping the wedding party as she is taking candid shots to capture the memories! Her price is very reasonable, but her personal touch makes it worth while! On the wedding day...she brought another photography who was also wonderful! She is experienced and knows just what to do without getting in the way! She gives you all photo rights via a CD and a 4x6 print of all engagement and wedding photos! Fabulous!

    Linda was AMAZING! She did a four seasons guest book that showcased our engagement pictures, and it turned out beautiful. Linda is extremely caring and professional. She made us feel comfortable through our engagement sessions and on the wedding day. Linda is so sweet and really listens to her couples and what they want. We wanted to go to several locations on the wedding day to get photos and Linda was very accommodating, and even helped the driver get us to the locations quickly! Our wedding photos were then viewable about a week and half after the wedding, which is awesome because we were anxious to see them! We did not have to wait long and all of the pictures were beautiful! Linda was very reasonably priced, and went above and beyond what she needed too. We could not have asked for a better photographer. We would definitely recommend her, and we will be using her in the future for all our photography needs!

    My husband and I were so happy with the service that Linda provided for us. I had heard so many photographer horror stories about wedding photographers, but luckily a friend recommended Linda. Linda was AMAZING!! She was so helpful in planning what types of photos we wanted, understood my style and what I liked by asking lots of questions and giving suggestions. We got such a good mix of formal photos, fun photos, and artistic interesting shots, which is exactly what I was looking for. Her package also aligned the best with my budget and what I was looking for in the photographer. Not only on the day of was she excellent at organizing the wedding party for photos, she was helpful in letting other vendors know what I wanted, like letting the DJ know we were ready to cut the cake and start first dances. I am definitely recommending Linda to my friend who is getting married next year!!

    We had Linda photograph our wedding/reception at the World’s Fair Pavilion in July 2013, and she was incredible! Linda knows so many amazing spots in Forrest Park that produce amazing wedding photos. She sat down with us beforehand and inquired about all the photos we wanted and made sure we got them. She asked if we wanted artistic photos or classic photos (we wanted both) and she was able to do both successfully. During the ceremony and reception Linda and her assistant were invisible, but they were taking tons of awesome photos. Most of our photos are so gorgeous they look like they could be magazine covers!
    My husband’s favorite part about Linda and her assistant is that they let events and interactions happen naturally. They give some guidance to make sure the photos look great, but they also let you be yourself… By doing so, our personalities and those of our wedding party really showed in the photos! It was like she was telling a story about who each of us were and what was happening on our big day!
    Photos are the major keepsakes of your big day, and Linda’s photos were stunning! Her turn-around time was also very quick and she posted some teasers on Facebook for friends and family, which we really enjoyed. We cannot recommend Linda Rivard enough! She is a joy to work with and you absolutely will not regret choosing her to capture those priceless moments!

    Linda was absolutely fabulous! We had so much fun with her and she really got to know us and our style in just a few short months. Our wedding had some time changes with pictures in between and a family member who was very important to us in the pictures had an emergency in between. Without me (the bride) knowing anything, she got her in all of the pictures and was SO flexible! I can't wait to use her again. :)

    As the mother of the bride, I want you to know that Linda was absolutely wonderful! From the first time we met with her, she made us feel so comfortable with her style of photography, and her photos were amazing! She made us feel like we had known her all our life. She allowed us to ask the questions we wanted, and listened to the ideas we presented. Her common response was, "no problem." The wedding was held in forest park, and she knew all the little "crooks and crannies" for the best outdoor photos. She would say, "I know this little area that would be perfect, or I know this little bridge that would be awesome, or places that would bring out the colors of the wedding. She captured many "extra special" moments that we hadn't even thought of.
    Linda and her assistants were fabulous, so personable. The wedding party felt like they were part of the family. She was efficient, and offered valuable advice when we asked.
    I can't say enough about Linda. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is a person I would like to have as a friend for years to come.

    Linda was absolutely amazing to work with. We chose to do four engagement picture sessions (one a season) in addition to our wedding photos and all of our pictures turned out amazing. She was super responsive, quick to get our prints to us, and was so easy to work with. We were nervous at our first photo session with her but she made us feel right at home and every experience after was better than the last. She was a huge part of our big day and made our day that much more special. I would 100% recommend her to all future brides.

    My husband and I had high hopes and expectations for our wedding day photographer, and Linda exceeded those expectations in every single way. From the moment I met Linda, I loved her enthusiasm and passion for what she does. She made it extremely easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and I can truly say my husband and I had fun at each of the photo shoots! She was very flexible with our busy schedules, and she even took the initiative to contact us when she thought it would be a great day to capture pictures in the snow (we took engagement pictures during each season). She made it clear that she really cares about each of her clients, and she will do whatever it takes to capture an awesome shot :) In addition to her flexibility, she has unbelievable talent with her camera. I was blown away by the photos she took at our wedding, and have gotten endless compliments from friends and family wanting to use her for their weddings! Linda has phenomenal photography skills, is very fun to work with, and has reasonable prices. I would recommend Linda in a heartbeat, and I assure you, you won't be disappointed!

    Linda was amazing! From the very first interview we felt comfortable with her. Her engagement sessions deal (4 seasons if booked 1+ year in advance) gave us the to opportunity to really get to know her and feel good about her taking our pictures all the time.

    On our wedding day she was extraordinary, keeping us on track with our schedule, making it fun, and getting all the shots that we wanted. Her photos are beautiful. We love her artistic shots and have them hanging up all over our house.

    You can't do better then Linda!

    Linda was the perfect photographer for our wedding! She was very personable, enthusiastic, and professional with us and our family/friends. She was also flexible with her time and was able to meet with us for a mini get-to-know-you photo session a month or so before the big day.

    On our wedding day she made us feel at ease and helped us just to have fun! She was in control and knew what she had to do to capture our day with amazing photos while also keeping us on track to arrive at our ceremony venue on time. It was really great to know I didn't have to worry about that. Linda was also excellent at getting the family all-together for photos before the ceremony. She worked quickly but managed to get some great shots! During the ceremony she was very unobtrusive. I really did not even realize she was there when I was saying my vows and such, although we have some photos to prove otherwise. In fact her style overall was quite natural, which I personally really like. Yes, we had the posed photos...but there are a lot of great candids that she snuck in there. Linda stayed well into our dance to document the night-time festivities, something not all photographers will do. She clearly enjoyed being with us on our wedding day, which is something I found very special.

    Finally, her photography services were well priced, and the end product is spectacular! Our photos were given to us promptly after we returned from our honeymoon, and we have been complimented on them by all our friends and family. We will not hesitate to recommend Linda as a wedding photographer. She is awesome!

    Linda was amazing!! We felt so comfortable with her and she made the day so much better! From the first time we met, to our engagement photos to ur wedding, she was always perfect. She understood what I wanted and made sure my husband was comfortable. She even helped navigate our bus driver and kept us on schedule. She was truly the best vendor that we worked with!

    We loved working with Linda and thought she was great! We were both very pleased with her on the day of the wedding and we absolutely loved the pictures! She was also a great value compared to so many other photographers out there.
    She was very professional and was able to find the perfect mix of being laid back and rolling with the punches, while also making sure we kept to our schedule and got the shots we wanted on our wedding day. She arrived on time and stayed at the rehearsal until we got every shot we wanted.
    The pictures of the day were perfect! They were just what we were looking for.
    Overall, she exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend her to other brides.

    Linda was absolutely wonderful to work with. Not only are her photographs beautiful, Linda is so flexible and organized. She was always very easily accessible and available to answer questions, suggest ideas, etc.
    Not only did she capture a vision of our wedding day, she captured the entire spirit and love my husband and I wanted to share with our family and guests.
    The love she has for photography and weddings is contagious, and it is evident in the work she does. I can only hope she will photograph our family in the future. Thank you Linda!

    Linda did an absolutely wonderful job on both our engagement and wedding photos. We felt immediately comfortable upon meeting Linda which translated to the photos. Linda was very unobtrusive while still taking great shots. One of our favorite aspects of Linda's photograhy is her range of interpretation, from the more traditional to the very artistic. We have received many compliments on our photos from family and friends and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

    Our wedding would not have turned out as perfect without Linda. The extra mile she went to make sure everything is was inline was priceless to us on our wedding day. Then comes the excitement of getting the photos. We were so excited to see the full day of emotions captured in such beautiful photos. We would recommend her to anyone for their wedding day!

    Linda was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her! I was so impressed with the range of her photographic style. She arrived well before the ceremony so she could check out the venue and all the photographic opportunities it offered. She captured it all -- the casual pre-ceremony preparation, the unique features of the venue, the scenery both inside and out, the fleeting special and personal moments that occur throughout the day, candid shots of the guests, and of course the more traditional shots and formal posed pictures of us and our families. Plus, she has a great personality. She was laid back but energetic, easy to work with, and just plain fun. Also, she didn't have any trouble "herding the cats" when it was time to round people up for group shots. What's more, Linda really seemed like she was enjoying herself and not like she was just there to do a job. With the amount of time she spent, the awesome array of photos and unique scenes she captured, and providing a copy of all the pics and a CD....she is incredibly reasonable and worth every penny. I am ecstatic and totally happy that I chose her to photograph our wedding. Linda rocks!

    We are so happy we chose Linda Rivard Photography for our wedding/engagement photographer. A good friend had used Linda for her wedding the year before and highly recommended her. We loved Linda's laid back attitude and how easy she was to work with. Linda let our wedding day truly be about us and was there to capture the special moments. Our pictures turned out great, and we have gotten many compliments on them. We look forward to using Linda Rivard Photography again in the future! I already have 1 or 2 friends using her from my recommendation!!

    Linda was a great person to work with. She made our day amazing and documented it perfectly! She met with us numerous times before the wedding to get to know our personalities and discuss the kinds of pictures we wanted. She edited all of the photos in a timely manner. They all turned out beautiful. She was very reasonable for all of the pictures, copyrights to the photos, and CD with the pictures. I HIGHLY recommend her!

    Linda was FANTASTIC! She has a great personality, attention to detail and totally knows how to blend in and just take pictures without being intrusive. At the same time she was a huge help with things way beyond her 'duties'. She cut and served our cake for a brief time when there was no one else around to do it, she lit candles, poured champagne and was just helped out wherever she saw a need. She also gave my aspiring photographer nephew hints and tips, showing him shots she just took and helping him out with functions on his camera. And of course her pictures were amazing. She offered me a price discount since our ceremony and reception were in the same location but she was well worth every penny even had I paid full price. I heartly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer especially if you're looking for photojournalistic style photos.

    We planned our wedding in 6 months. Linda was available and she was SO easy to work with! I had reviews from other family member that had gone through her as well. She had perfect locations for us to go to as well. She has a great eye for things like that! She was also very fun and made everyone fell super comfortable! I will recommend her to all my friends that are going to be looking for a photographer in the future!

    Linda was my wedding photographer in October of 2015 and I couldn't have had a better experience with her. From the beginning Linda had a way of making us feel comfortable with her and in front of the camera. She knows how to capture both the formal and candid moments. She is a skilled photographer with a great personality and presence. She is someone you want around you and your family on your wedding day. She got all of the shots I wanted and more and she got them to me in a reasonable time frame, despite how busy she was. We have nothing bad to say about Linda Rivard Photography. We had a wonderful experience and will be able to cherish our wedding day forever because of her.
