A magical Boston wedding! I highly recommend Olivia

Olivia is absolutely amazing! I got married at the Omni Parker House in August 2023. We hit all the iconic Boston places including Old City Hall, Boston Common, The Public Garden, the famous swan boat bridge, Beantown Pub, and of course the front of the Omni Parker hotel. She knew all the good spots to stop and take photos and we had an absolute blast chatting with her. She was excellent at coordinating family members and the wedding party for all the important shots. I felt totally comfortable with her from the moment I met her. She helped me finalize the day-of itinerary and kept everyone on schedule and on time - a massive feat! I was so impressed with the quality and versatility of all the photos. She has an amazing eye for places that you might not even think of. These photos were EVERYTHING and so much more than I could have ever imagined. I’m so happy I hired her and would absolutely recommend her.

Great photographer and an amazing experience

We are really grateful to Olivia for eternalizing such a special day! Not being from Boston we opted for having a small intimist wedding celebration here but we knew we wanted that super special and personal moment to be registered by a photographer.

We moved to the area not too long ago and we asked some colleagues for recommendations, but as soon as we spoke with Olivia we knew we wanted to work with her! Being super friendly and yet super professional, she made us feel comfortable since our first phone call. She asked us key questions to understand our needs and was very open to all our crazy ideas, from having our dog join us on part of the photos, to walking around Harvard yard looking for the best spots. She was able to accommodate our wishes and needs allowing us to really enjoy the moment. She guided us in a very sweet way and made us feel comfortable to suggest possible pictures.

We would definitely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a great professional and photographer!

Highly recommend

It was great working with Olivia! This is coming from a couple who wasn't a fan of most wedding traditions, and a bride who wanted to elope and not hire a photographer. So we were tough customers, but she was wonderful, listened to what we wanted and was absolutely great day of (even when things started behind schedule and were a little chaotic). We were very, very happy that we hired her for our wedding, have wonderful picture and highly recommend her.

First impressions mean everything

Olivia is nothing short of amazing!! We had our engagement shoot with her, and cannot wait for her to photograph our wedding next October! She is professional, goes out of her way to connect with you, and goes above and beyond making you comfortable. Her talent is immeasurable. We are so happy and know we made the right choice!

Olivia is the best!

Olivia is the best! She is a very talented photographer and was able to beautifully capture every special moment of our wedding day. She was also so great to work with. She made the whole process fun and enjoyable. Her communication was great and she truly listened to our ideas and wants. She was able to help us relax and feel at ease in front of the camera. She made sure we got the specific shots we wanted and that we stuck to our timeline even when rain threw a bit of a wrench in our plans. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and highly recommend Olivia!

A dream to work with!

Photography was one of our top priorities for our wedding, yet my husband and I were nervous about finding a photographer who would make us feel comfortable as we tend to be camera shy and didn't want to look stiff in photos. When we found Olivia my gut said she was the right girl for the job. She prides herself on being authentic and making the experience fun! On our wedding day she got us to laugh and relax and our pictures really reflect that. She was able to capture all the love and joy we were feeling and showcase it in a gorgeous framework! I would recommend Olivia to anyone and look forward to using her in the future!

Incredible!

A photographer was one of the hardest vendors to book for us, and we could't have been happier with Olivia. The experience on the day of was fantastic. Olivia was calm, genuine, organized, and energetic, and we felt so comfortable with her as she was a part of almost every moment of the day. She listened to everything we wanted in terms of places at the venue to take photos, different groupings of family, and even finding a good time post-ceremony to go on a quick stroll to get sunset pictures by the water.
We just got our pictures back, and they are phenomenal. The emotion and pure joy of the day is so well-captured, and her use of lighting, color, and framing is exceptional. There is a perfect blend of posed pictures with candids, without anything looking too "pose-y" or unnatural. So highly recommended!

Olivia was absolutely amazing for our wedding this past October. We were lucky to have a perfect day in terms of the weather, and she absolutely nailed capturing the amazing feeling. Neither of us were used to having photos taken of us (especially me, the groom) but Olivia has a way of keeping you laughing and never making you feel awkward or out of place.

She is very impressive and you wouldn't do wrong commissioning her services for any type of photography. We also opted to have a second shooter, and of course through her experience brought along another amazing photographer for the day.

Olivia is phenomenal! She captured every single moment of our special day, and each shot is absolutely beautiful! But best of all, she is a sheer joy to work with! My husband and I felt so comfortable with her behind the camera, and she never stopped making us smile and laugh. Thanks Olivia, we couldn't be happier!

Olivia was our photographer for our engagement shoot and she was truly amazing! My fiance and I had a blast with her and she made it such a fun experience that we are truly thankful for. It rained but Olivia laughed and had fun with us the whole time. She didn't let the rain stop us from having a fun, upbeat session. We absolutely love our engagement photos and all of our friends and family have raved about how elegant they look. We recommend Olivia to anyone who is looking for someone fun and sweet but also very talented and passionate in what she does. Her work is remarkable and we couldn't be happier!

Olivia is an amazing photographer. She captured truly memorable moments during our engagement session and on my wedding day. She put both my husband and I at ease and our bridal party thought she was so fun and energetic.

Her use of light and landscape is incredible. We've had so many compliments on our photos!

I met Olivia at a wedding expo in Boston, and she was so friendly and had a great energy about her, I couldn't stop thinking about how awesome it would be to have her photograph our wedding. We almost went with someone very inexperienced, but when Olivia came along, I knew she was perfect for us. She worked with our budget and kept us in the loop every step of the way. We had a meeting before the wedding to talk about our family and how we would like to structure the photos (both of our parents are divorced, so this was really important for us). On the day of the wedding, she was early, her assistant was lovely, and I knew she was there with us every step of the way. I thought our family photos would be challenging because there's so many of us, but she did a great job of moving everything along so my husband and I could get to our solo photos. This was exactly what we needed -- otherwise our family would've been there for hours. I am so beyond thrilled at all of our wedding photos, and I look at them all the time. If you're in the Boston area, please please take a look at Olivia's website. She's an incredible photographer and a lovely person.

Picking Olivia for our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
This was one of the vendors we spent A LOT of time researching. Because we didn't do a video, the photos were the only thing we would have of our day. So we wanted to make sure we picked the perfect photographer, and Olivia delivered. Not only did the photos come out beyound BEAUTIFUL , but she was able to really capture the day (candids, details, the lighting..just everything).

I would defiantly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a photographer :)

Olivia was INCREDIBLE! I wish the value field went above 5 stars because the value you get when choosing Olivia is beyond just financial. She became a friend and tremendous resource for our wedding planning. Olivia is extremely knowledgeable in the world of photography and weddings. Sarah would text her throughout the wedding planning and she would immediately reply back. She even gave us tips and planned her trips to CT to accommodate us.

Her energy and enthusiasm made the entire experience that much more special. The boudoir session left us with a special memento and was an unexpectedly natural experience. It's her personality and professionalism that made this unique element of the wedding experience one we'll always look back on. (To clarify, only Sarah went to the session. I'll always remember it because I have a book filled with the pictures ;)

OK, OK, she's great, you get it. No, but seriously she's AWESOME! Her pictures came out amazing!!! So many photographers only blur the background or capture a few candids, but not Olivia. We were able to see our wedding from a whole new point of view without excessive filters or strictly zoomed-in shots. She even had a professional photographer as her backup because she's part of a network of photographers, which essentially meant we had two photographers for the price of one. Speaking of price, you won't find the value in Olivia's packages anywhere else. We were a bit doubtful at first because the price was so good for what we got out of it, but this is one of those situations where you get SO much more than you pay for.

We were blessed with many great vendors, but Olivia is definitely at the top of the list. I can't say enough about how great she is and how thankful we are to have met her. We look forward to connecting with her in the future and we highly recommend her for your event!

Olivia was absolutely wonderful. She approaches her photography by first developing a rapport with her clients --- in doing so, she uses her humor and friendliness to disarm you of any anxiety or stiffness. My husband usually feels a little self conscious being the subject of repeated photos and wasn't particularly looking forward to our engagement shoot. However, he and I both found the photo shoots incredibly fun in the end! The engagement photos were lovely -- I suggest using the shoot as a "warm up". Our wedding was held at our own family farm, but we splurged on photography -- Olivia's work was so worth it! Since the wedding had no real staff running things like a professional venue does, our wedding was very informal and communal. Despite the relatively hectic nature of the wedding day, Olivia easily stepped up to take charge and give directions to us and all of our friends and family having their picture taken. She and her assistant knew exactly how to organize and frame photos, what looked good, how to tactfully ask people to move or turn, etc. On a day when you've already been asked to make 1,000 decisions, Olivia brought a sense of calm, order, and undistracted joy to the day. Our new married couple photo shoot was one of the most intimate, special parts of our entire wedding. My maid of honor, a professional photographer trained at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, recommended Olivia's work, having seen photographer's portfolios from options I shared with her. I'm so glad I took her up on her strong recommendation. I would love to work with Olivia again in the future.

Olivia is an easy-going and fantastic wedding photographer! Olivia and I set my husband and I right at ease when we first met her for our engagement photo shoot. I’m not very used to have my picture taken professionally but Olivia made it fun and helped arrange us so that we have nice and natural looking pictures. She has a keen eye for color, light and texture that she brings to her art. And Olivia was very nice and fun to be around on my wedding day. Overall, I’m really happy with the way my pictures turned out!

Olivia was such a pleasure to work with. She was so fun, and laid back and made both of our families feel so comfortable on our wedding day. I kept thinking I didn't even know how the photos would turn out because I hardly even noticed Olivia and Heidi snapping shots all around us, and they came out more beautiful than I could've imagined. She captured our day in a way I'm not sure anyone else could have. I would recommend her to anyone, and hope to use her for future events!

I can't say enough about Olivia's photography services - she is one talented, fun lady!! She made the planning process FUN and we looked forward to every meeting we had with her. Her creativity started as soon as we did the engagement session, something that made the wedding day that much more comfortable. She made us at ease which resulted in the most beautiful photographs. The most important part is finding a photographer who's creativity you like and she really understood our vision without a ton of direction from us. Most importantly, she had a way of taking control so that we could sit back and enjoy our special day. We love every stylish photo she took of us so much that it was so hard to decide what to put in our album! In the end we let her take control of which photos to include and she did a fantastic job, as usual. Thank you Olivia!!

We could not be more happy with Olivia who photographed our wedding along with our engagement photos! First and foremost her personality really puts you at ease and makes you enjoy getting your photograph taken - It also helps on the hectic wedding day when you are nervous to begin with. I also feel like for what she offers her pricing is really reasonable. I had a specific vision in mind for my photographs and her sunkissed, vintagy style fit perfectly with that vision. She was also really great about taking any specific shots you have in mind - I really can't say enough good things!

We could not have been more happy with our experience with Olivia. From start to finish she was professional, fun, and helpful. She always responded quickly to any question I had and made us feel like her only clients. The day of the wedding was truly great. Olivia was flexible--things got a bit hectic before the wedding as we decided whether or not the rain was going to stop. But Olivia went with flow and was so accommodating and didn't add to the chaos. She was also fun to be around and so friendly to everyone. Oh, and Olivia took the most beautiful photos that truly captured our day as we remembered it. Her style was just what we wanted. We feel so lucky we found Olivia!

Olivia's artistic photography and easygoing manner made her the ideal person to capture our day. She and her assistant Heidi were wonderful to us. They helped us relax and enjoy the day. They were very efficient and accomodated all our requests. We are blown away by the beauty of the photos. We highly recommend Olivia and know you'll be as happy as we are that we chose her. We'll be enjoying her work for years.
