    Timeless photos to last a lifetime!

    Working with Olivia was the best!!! I couldn't recommend her enough. Olivia was incredibly kind and helpful every step of the way. She truly is so talented! We are so happy with our wedding photos and couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Her associate/second shooter, Leah, was also incredible and wonderful to work with on our wedding day!

    Professional and passionate!

    Olivia was wonderful to work with. She was assertive and a clear communicator. She made the photo process comfortable and I really was able to trust her instincts. We didn't use a videographer, but with Olivia's photos, I can relive the day in vivid detail. I am so grateful for her kindness, professionalism and beautiful work. Strongly recommend!

    Beautiful pictures of a joyous day!

    Olivia and her assistant Ashley captured so much joy and happiness in our delayed wedding reception! We wanted to celebrate with all our loved ones and the photons Olivia capture radiate the happiness and joy that we will cherish for years to come! Olivia was professional and helped with changing plans while make sure my Pinterest wedding dress came true!

    Caught the Special Moments

    Olivia was extortionary and caught the specials moments. I have a very large family, which is hard to gather, Olivia was able to command the announced and got the family pictures done under 45 minutes. She was very responsive in the moments leading up to the wedding, especially the uncertainty of the pandemic. Definitely recommend for your special day!

    Amazing Photography and Experience

    I have only the BEST things to say about my experience with Olivia Jacob Photography for my wedding this fall. She has been wonderful to work with since the very beginning, and she was incredibly kind and flexible throughout our entire wedding planning process (which included many changes!) during the pandemic. The photos that we have received are simply beautiful. We could not be any more thrilled to have these gorgeous pictures to treasure for the rest of our lives. Ashley, who was our associate photographer, was so great as well. Thank you, Olivia and Ashley!!

    Pick olivia jacob!

    Olivia and her team are exceptional! She knows what she is doing, makes you feel at ease, and executes amazing photos. I couldn't have been happier to have Olivia (and Leah!) capture our most special day. 5 stars all around.

    Amazingly talented, wonderful, and very flexible!

    We originally planned a large wedding at a large venue. Due to COVID, we had to change plans to be ceremony and a short cocktail hour in our backyard. Olivia was extremely kind, understanding, and flexible. Having her shoot our intimate wedding at our home was so very special. We’ve gotten our first photos already...we LOVE them and cannot wait for the others!

    We plan on having our original full reception next year if COVID allows and Olivia will be joining us then too!!!

    Best photographer !

    Olivia and Leah were amazing on our wedding day. They captured all the shots that we wanted AND more. They were very creative and efficient with their time. I am so happy we chose them to photograph the best day of our lives.

    Olivia is the best!

    Olivia was SO wonderful to work with! Most importantly, our pictures turned out beautifully! They're so special and I'm so glad we'll have them to remember our beautiful wedding day. But, the other great thing about Olivia was how fun she was to have on the wedding day itself. She was calm, friendly, funny, and fun to take photos with while still being such a professional. She definitely helped me lighten up a bit and not be so nervous. She really made the experience of getting so many photos taken quite fun (even in the hot sun)! I highly recommend Olivia!

    The absolute best!

    Olivia was absolutely fabulous. She is funny, personable, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We loved her natural styling and ability to capture emotion in each photo. We will absolutely be using her for future life events. Book with Olivia now!

    Gorgeous. Authentic. Unique.

    We hired Olivia to do our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos and are grateful for hiring her. Olivia was such a pleasure to work with. Her portfolio and previous experience spoke volumes, but after speaking with her we were completely at ease. We wanted photos taken from the wedding that captured the event, without looking too posed/formal. Olivia was a blast to work with, very professional while always making both of us laugh. She did everything possible to grab the best shot. We have only seen preview shots from the wedding, but can't wait for the full view.

    Incredible photographer

    Olivia was wonderful to work with. I’m not a big fan of being in front of a camera and she made me feel totally relaxed. Olivia did a wonderful job of capturing the small intimate moments in our wedding. She also did an amazing job with couple and family portraits in posing people and framing the shots. Our photos are incredible and captured that understated elegance we were looking for. I would definitely book Olivia again for photography services!

    The Best, The Sweetest

    Olivia is both a fabulous photographer and person. She truly loves to see people in love and I'm so grateful that she was there to capture every moment of my wedding.

    During the getting ready photos, she exercised her creativity and posed me and my bridesmaids to get some of the most beautiful and classic shots. For the family photos, she managed to get all 30 or so of us to look at ONE camera at the SAME TIME--definitely a near impossible feat. She comes highly recommended by me and my husband (and he's very picky about photography). Olivia will not only be amazing photographer, but also an amazing friend.

    Incredible!!

    Olivia was such a pleasure to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding. Her personality and energy is contagious and she knew exactly how to make my husband and me feel relaxed in front of a camera. She captured our wedding day beautifully and we are beyond grateful to have the memories. She is responsive, attentive, and puts so much care into her work. We are embarrassed to say we cannot remember the second photographer's name she brought for our wedding day, but she was also incredible. We got married on the hottest day of the year and both photographers beat the heat to get the best shot. Thank you Olivia!!

    Fun, laid back, and confidence-inspiring person and beautiful, natural photos

    We absolutely LOVED Olivia, she was the vendor that brought everything together for us! She is very organized and efficient yet laid back and very easy to get along with. My husband and I have no clue how to pose, but she did an amazing job of coaching us into relaxed and natural poses. She helped us quickly move through a 180 person group photo, 40 person family portraits and endless iterations of immediately family portraits in about an hour. She also connected us with an amazing videographer (87 & Smith) and helped me craft a realistic (and understandable) timeline for the day. We loved worked with her for our engagement photos, and I can't wait to get all of our wedding photos soon! Bottom line, Olivia's photos are beautiful and natural looking and she is a wonderfully fun, laid back, and confidence-inspiring person, and I can't recommend her enough!

    She captured every perfect moment!

    Olivia and her assistant Ashley were absolutely wonderful to work with the day of the wedding. My husband had hired a photographer for the proposal in Italy so we did not hire them for engagement photos. When we met on the day of the wedding it had been like we had known each other for a long time, Olivia made us feel so comfortable with her and in front of the camera. My husband and I wanted to un-plug on the day of the wedding so that we could enjoy the day (no phones means no camera, scary right). Not scary at all! We had complete confidence that Olivia would capture every moment and she did not disappoint! When we received the album I could not believe how many photos we got! I'm talking almost 1,000 and they were all perfect! She even captured a private moment between my husband and I after the ceremony between a closing door, it was our truest emotions of the whole day and the first picture we will frame. I can not praise her and her talent enough! I have already recommended her to a co-worker and they absolutely loved working with her as well.

    The Absolute Best!

    Olivia was the perfect photographer for our wedding! First off, her photos are incredible, and we've been flooded with compliments. But in addition to delivering the best photos she was so professional, responsive, helpful, and flexible every step of the way. She helped work out our timeline for the day and her advice was so valuable. We had a downtown wedding in our hometown and wanted to stay flexible with the first look, bridal party, and portrait locations, and also planned to walk to the reception through a park, and she was with us every step of the way. We got SO MANY amazing photos of us, our bridal party, our families, and our guests, and she perfectly captured the joy of the day itself. For days after the wedding we kept reflecting on how perfect our wedding day was and how present we were able to be with our guests, while still being able to steal time away with each other -- we honestly forgot we were even being photographed most of the time! Olivia made everyone feel comfortable and contributed to the fun, relaxed and joyful atmosphere of the day, and she documented it perfectly.

    Amazing pictures!

    Olivia made us so comfortable and she really put us at ease during our engagement pictures. When it came to our wedding, she was responsive, very easy to work with and wonderful to be around all day long (and so was her second shooter, Ina). We just got our pictures back and they are amazing - it is going to be so hard to pick just a few to print. She captured our venue (Carnegie) and the day so beautifully - there's just so much joy in her photos and we feel lucky to have worked with her. Olivia is also a master of the family pictures - she is quick and great with kids.

    Fantastic!

    We had such a wonderful experience working with Olivia and cannot recommend her services enough! Throughout the wedding planning process she was responsive, flexible, and a true pleasure to work with.

    The day of the wedding she and her second shooter, Lis, were such a joy to be around. They were patient, pleasant, provided direction when we needed it, and were extremely discreet during the ceremony and reception. Olivia and Lis were able to get through the individual and family portraits quickly and efficiently before the ceremony which gave us plenty of time to enjoy our reception!

    When we received our gallery we were absolutely thrilled with the photos. The portraits were beautiful and the candid photos really captured the spirit of the day. Olivia has such a talent for perfectly capturing the little moments, genuine emotions and reactions, and details of the day. We are so grateful to have such beautiful photos of our family and friends and we will treasure these photos! We wholeheartedly recommend Olivia!

    Captured the heart of our wedding :)

    Olivia was fantastic to work with. She was extremely flexible and understanding of different situations. Her work is extraordinary. I have never seen photos that captured so much emotion and personality. Her use of natural light and ability to grab those precious moments is incredible. She is also very down to earth and sweet, works very well with kids and gave us the pictures of our dreams. Thank you so much Olivia for capturing these memories.

    I highly recommend Olivia Jacob and her team!!! Olivia and her second shooter did an incredible job capturing our special day. The portrait photos are all amazing, which is miraculous because my husband HATES having his picture taken. The candid photos from the event are even more perfect. I am crying tears of happiness looking at them! In addition to delivering amazing pictures, Olivia was also adept at keeping the event on schedule. She managed to take portrait photos with our large extended families, immediate families, and the two of us in roughly 50 minutes! Lastly, she was very professional, a pleasure to work/ interact with, and her services were quite affordable for the DC area. We cannot thank Olivia enough for her amazing work!

    Amazing photographer and person

    I will forever recommend Olivia to everyone I know. She has an amazing personality and puts you at ease when you're in front of the camera. Her portraits and candids are equally amazing, and we are so lucky to have found her. She has a real skill for getting the most beautiful fleeting moments, and the photos were a joy to look at. The amount of compliments I've received on our wedding photos is astounding - everyone agrees she and the second shooter did an INCREDIBLE job.

    Wonderful! We had an amazing experience with Olivia and her team. They did an amazing job and were able to capture so many emotions and candid moments from us and our guests during our civil wedding. We had pictures at Meridian Park, Marriage Bureau and our roof deck celebration. Through her eyes and pictures, even the dull marriage buro became fun and romantic. It was easy to work with them, they were supportive, flexible and fun to work with. She kept us relaxed during the shooting and brought an amazing positive energy. I would totally recommend her and her team. Thanks Olivia for capturing our love and for creating long lasting memories.
