Darek Sent on 09/13/2023Great photographer and very focused!
Olivia and her husband were beyond helpful, not to mention their wonderful photography skills. They would help answer any questions we had and helped to really reduce stress for our "big day". Their personalities really help brighten our moods constantly. They both would always have a smile on their face while taking photos and from this, I really felt that they were very passionate about what they do. We love all the photos and were happy to work with you both!! -

We really cannot say enough wonderful things about Olivia and Brandon! They are the dream team and made me, my husband, and the entire bridal party feel so comfortable the entire day. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photographs - seriously, I look at them almost every day. We are thrilled with our decision choosing Olivia because we have timeless, elegant, fun, and candid photos to look back on for the rest of our lives! They guided us throughout the day as needed but always took into consideration what we wanted. We planned our wedding from all the way across the country and felt so confident in this team because they frequently checked in with us prior to wedding day to ensure we were on the same page. It made for a seamless day where my husband and I could just enjoy our special day. We highly recommend booking with Olivia for any occasion! -

Olivia was one of the first wedding vendors we hired and we absolutely made THE BEST choice with her! She is so sweet and made us feel so comfortable at our engagement shoot as well as on our wedding day. The pictures we received are just stunning! I cannot stop looking at them! Olivia is so knowledgeable about not only photography, but about weddings in general! She was so organized the day of our wedding. Everything with her just flowed with no stress between, the multiple location for the photos and rounding up all the wedding party. I cannot recommend her enough! Hire her now! -

Engagement shoot!
We hired Olivia for our engagement shoot and she did such an amazing job! From the start it was clear that she came early and found the perfect spots to take pictures. She was great at directing us (we are both super awkward) and in the process we had so much fun. I would definitely recommend hiring Olivia for your day or any type of photoshoot. -

I am truly so glad that we booked Olivia to photograph our wedding. We got our full gallery a few weeks ago and all of the photos turned out better than I could have imagined! Olivia and Brandon did a great job capturing all of the special moments from our big day and had great energy and direction. They struck a great balance of giving us direction and also capturing all the special little moments. It was simply the best experience. -

Lindsay K. Sent on 12/14/2021Best decision we made!
Booking a photographer for our wedding was one of the most important and stressful decisions in the planning process. Well, it was stressful until we found Olivia. We feel in love with her aesthetic right away. After looking at a full gallery, we knew she was the one we wanted to photograph our wedding instantly. It was very apparent that she had an amazing aesthetic eye and a perfect documentary style that truly captured the feelings and emotions of such a special day.
Working with Olivia from start to finish was nothing less than a dream. Not only did we get an amazingly talented photographer, but she was professional, kind, prompt to respond to any questions, and always there to give guidance. On the big day, we had no problem putting all our trust in her to call the shots, and we are so happy we did. We just got our wedding gallery back and are in awe! Every picture in absolutely stunning.
The only issue you will run into when booking Olivia is trying to decide which photos to frame, because every picture is frame worthy. I recommend you do as I will, and just lean into making wallpaper out of all of the photos… there really is no other option! In summary, we can’t say enough kind things about Olivia. She is amazing, and you should book her immediately for any of your photography needs.

I knew I wanted Olivia to photograph my wedding before I even got engaged. I had seen Olivia's work on Instagram and showed my (then) boyfriend pictures and said "one day, when we get married - this is the photographer we need." Lucky for me, he took note and ended up hiring Olivia to photograph his proposal to me in the Allied Arts Guild! We booked Olivia to photograph our wedding in Santa Barbara in October 2020, but then along came COVID... We ended up moving our wedding to September 2021 in Texas, and Olivia was so kind and flexible along every step of the way. Olivia and Brandon (her husband and second shooter) finally got to photograph our wedding on September 26 and everything went perfectly. We ended up a bit behind schedule for hair/make-up, but she never made us feel rushed and was able to get all of the pictures we wanted done efficiently and beautifully before the ceremony. She delivered a gallery of 30+ sneak peak photos a few days later while we were on our honeymoon and we were blown away with every one of them! Olivia is an amazing photographer and the biggest sweetheart. We haven't seen our full gallery yet, but we're positive that they will be INCREDIBLE. You will not regret booking her to photograph her for whatever you need! -

My 2-cents in 3 tips (Read #3 - trust me)
I found Olivia on instagram because of her whimsical editing skills - her photos are just so dreamy and exactly the aesthetic I was looking for when I was dreaming up our special day. When you are a novice bride you focus in on looks. But what you don't realize (or at least I didn't) is that there is SO MUCH MORE you should be paying attention to. The personality of a photographer is SO critical. (tip #1)
I consider myself lucky because while I chose Olivia for her beautiful work, what I really ended up getting was so much more than just photos.
Olivia is so kind, gentile, natural, and sweet. You need someone who can get shit done but also who is going to make you feel your best. Her work glows because she makes her couples/subject glow. That's the secret sauce and she has it.
Additionally, another thing they don't tell you is that photographers can be really rude to guests because they are on tight timelines and let me tell you as a guest to a wedding that is a really bad experience. She was so kind to all our guests. You want that. (tip #2)
We are so lucky to have picked Olivia for our wedding. I constantly am looking back at our wedding photos and pinch myself. She is so gifted at what she does, but what also sticks out is how she and her husband made us feel on our day and that shows.
Last tip for whoever is reading this: BOOK HER NOW! ;) (tip #3) -

Olivia was one of the first vendors we hired. I saw her style of photography and was immediately hooked, we HAD to book her. Olivia had been photographing weddings since she was a teenager so I knew her experience was priceless. Not only are her photos beautiful with her warm lighting and vibrant tones, but the most important things she displayed was her friendliness. My husband and I are very camera shy people, and she made us feel so comfortable and loose in front of the camera. Her second shooter at weddings is her husband, and it was so refreshing to see how smoothly they helped everything go. They were so good at getting those candid moments and we are so so happy with how our photos turned out. Thank you much Olivia and Brandon! -

Lindsay Sent on 07/28/2021Olivia is incredible!
Olivia was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding - and she was extremely communicative and responsive for committing to all 3 (!) of the wedding dates we committed to while rescheduling our wedding.
On the day of our wedding, I had full trust in Olivia to capture all the important moments and I could truly enjoy and experience the day.
We were blown away when we received our photos - she had captured the day so perfectly. It seemed like she captured every special moment - from bridesmaids playing around while getting ready, laughter from each speech, and gorgeous shots of all our guests.
She is a true professional to work with and we will treasure her photography for the rest of our lives! -

Felise T. Sent on 06/09/2021Sweet, light, bright and dreamy photos!
We had booked Olivia 2 whole years before our actual wedding and she ended up photographing our wedding FINALLY 3 years after (due to COVID). Olivia was so flexible and supportive when we were freaking out that our wedding had to be cancelled/postponed during the lockdown; she rescheduled us twice throughout the pandemic.
I have to say, her photography was one of the things I was looking forward to the most in getting married. As soon as we saw her photo in our venue catalog (when touring the venue), we knew we had to get married at that venue with the same photographer— we booked her and the venue that same day.
The photos she takes just feel light, bright, airy, and happy. And let me tell you, I’ve looked at other photographers’ photos, but none could compare to the vibe Olivia’s gives off. She is so WORTH IT. She’s like a magician with her photos and just has a really great artistic eye!
When we finally got married so many things went wrong (I wasn’t wearing my wedding jewelry, I forgot to fix the ribbon of my bouquet, STRESS lol), but honestly you couldn’t tell anything was wrong in the pictures! She came to the venue on time, advised us on timeline prior, and also was just a calming presence. Like I said, she’s a freakin’ magician who takes AMAZING photos.
She’s super friendly, bubbly, warm, kind and just easy to work with. My family loved her and her easy-going nature (even my husband commented on how Olivia was just super super nice). I cannot recommend Olivia more than enough to anyone. If you’re looking for photos that are soft, romantic, light, and just would make you feel happiness when looking at it years later, Olivia’s definitely your girl.

Working with Olivia was a dream. She was so professional, everything was taken care of within a few emails and Pinterest boards. She was lovely to work with on our wedding day and had so many creative ideas! I can't stress enough - our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking!!!! She got every shot we could have asked for, and then some! We are so excited to have these photos hang in our home and have these memories as family heirlooms. She's so thoughtful, after the wedding she sent us a box filled with stunning prints and goodies. It was such a surprise! Thank you, Olivia!! -

If we could recommend Olivia to every single one of our engaged friends, we would! From the beginning stages of planning, she made everything so easy and was very transparent about the process, how she works, pricing, etc. We were able to meet up before the wedding and talk about our vision and key photos we wanted, and she was so personable, asked thoughtful questions, and brought our vision to life perfectly in our wedding photos. She and Brandon are a great team - they're attentive, assertive without being rude, and did an amazing job capturing our special day. We still reminisce over our photos and have new favorites every single week! -

Carolyn Sent on 12/05/2020What a fantastic experience working with Olivia!
We are so fortunate to have had the pleasure of having Olivia photograph our micro pandemic-appropriate wedding at Healdsburg end of October. Not only were her photography skills impeccable, she was such a joy and pleasure to be around! Very warm, bubbly, personable and yet very respectful and not "in the way" at all at our intimate wedding. We are blown away by the pictures we got from her - an absolute delight! -

Olivia was one of the first vendors we hired (recommended by Andria Leigh Events!), and both our engagement and wedding photos are more stunning than I could've imagined. She and her husband did an incredible job capturing the whole day, from getting ready to the last songs of the night. We are so lucky to have had her eye for light and detail - the moments she was able to document were so meaningful. I can't recommend her enough! -

Annie Sent on 01/03/2019Talented Photographer Who Is So Sweet, Professional, Flexible, and A Joy To Work With!
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Olivia Richards Photography. When our wedding planner, Jessica Sung of Bushing Joy Events, first recommended Olivia to us, we fell in love with her warm, vibrant, colorful photos and she was one of the very first wedding vendors we booked for our September 9, 2018 Kohl Mansion wedding. I love colors and golden, radiant lighting, so when I saw Olivia's work, I knew that Olivia and I were a great match from the start!
From the booking process to the wedding day, Olivia was such a joy and professional to work with. I really appreciated how responsive she was to all my emails, which shows her professionalism and her attentiveness to her clients. I also appreciated how flexible she was when we were trying to decide on a date for our engagement shoot as we rescheduled a few times due to the fact that my husband had broken his wrist. She is also such a great resource for any recommendations you need! From engagement shoot outfit ideas, engagement shoot location ideas, all the way to groom outfit ideas and wedding vendor recommendations, Olivia is always happy to help in any way she can! I also appreciated her help in putting together our wedding day timeline.
On the wedding day itself, it was amazing how seamlessly Olivia and her second shooter/fiancé, Brandon, blended in with our wedding party and guests! She was able to shepherd and give direction to our wedding party and family members for photos in a professional way while still maintaining her cheerful, big smile that she always has :) We had a pretty big wedding party (14 people in total!) so the fact that she was able to pose us and shepherd us from location to location in the venue while on a tight schedule was amazing!
While it's impossible for me to choose my favorites out of my wedding photos, by far my most favorite part of Olivia's photography is the fact that she and Brandon were able to capture the most precious, candid photos of my husband and I with our bridal party, family, and guests. Whether it was a tender look between me and my father during our father-daughter dance, to the joyful faces of us and our guests on the dance floor, to me and my husband sneaking in a quick kiss at the sweetheart table, I loved that Olivia and Brandon captured so many of these sweet, precious moments - they are so, so precious to me and I will treasure them for the rest of my life. I actually watched some of these captured moments in our wedding videos and some of these moments happened literally in a flash of an eye! So the fact that Olivia was able to capture these on film means that she is truly watching you and trying her utmost to capture ALL the moments of your big day, no matter how big or how small :)
I also appreciated how willing Olivia was to follow me and my husband and to help us take group photos of us and our guests during cocktail hour. Originally we had planned to do table visits and we would take posed, group photos with our guests then but on our wedding day our schedule just would not allow for it, so I'm SO happy that we at least have some group photos of us and our guests during cocktail hour!
Lastly, I really must commend Olivia on how fast she delivered our photos to us (exactly 5 weeks after our wedding!) and the fact that she sent us the sweetest gift of a box of printed, selected wedding photos for me and my husband! It was such an incredibly thoughtful present and I love that we have our wedding photos printed out and in hard copy! Also, the website that she delivers her gallery is SOOO easy to view, send out to guests, and download photos!
Alright...enough rambling! Go book Olivia Richards photography if you haven't already! :) -

Olivia was everything we had dreamt of for our big day!
After seeing her ability to capture couple’s natural connections and her beautiful use of light in her portfolio, we knew she was who we wanted for our beach wedding.
From our first initial phone call to the wedding day, Olivia was extremely kind and professional.
She always responded quickly and professionally, relieving any stress during the big day by creating detailed timetable, but being flexible enough to go with the flow when needed. Olivia and Brandon, her second shooter (and fiancé!), fit seamlessly into our wedding, and after our portraits were complete they blended seamlessly into the festivities to capture candid moments of ourselves and our guests. For two very camera-shy people, Olivia was able to make us feel very comfortable and natural, and truly enjoy the experience!
After the wedding she posted a few sneak peaks of our photos to her Instagram, and within a short turnaround time we received our full album, and we absolutely love our photos! Olivia also sent us a great keepsake box that had all our beautiful prints in them.
We feel so thankful to have found such a great photographer and can’t wait to use her talents again!
