We booked Olive Studio after a recommendation from a friend and April was a pleasure from the first moment we met her (and her adorable dog too). :) April was very thorough in planning our wedding shots, making sure she knew who and what was important for us to have captured in photos on our big day. This allowed for her to act independently and be extremely thorough the day-of without having to ask us any questions. She was also great at working within our budget and giving us many options.
On our wedding, we were both a little awkward and nervous about having our photos done - we’re not used to so much attention - but April was great at getting us warmed up, acting natural and by the end we were having fun with the poses.
She’s got a great eye for the perfect shot, seeing it in nature, old buildings and even (much to the horror of my best friend hosting us) a backyard deck that hadnt been used in a year. :) She remained focused, professional and absolutely lovely to deal with.
Her work speaks for itself as well - check out her website and social media for her stunning portfolio. We couldn’t recommend her more - you won’t regret it!!!

I had a great experience with Olive Studios. April, the owner/photographer made us feel immediately comfortable. She gives you ALL of the shots she takes, so you have hundreds to choose from. She captured moments that I thought I missed. I really treasured her attention to detail, capturing not only my husband and I, but our guests as well. Great experience!

Highly recommended
April was so pleasant to work with! She really takes the time to get all of the details right so that you wouldn't have to worry about it on your big day. Needless to say, her pictures turn out very beautiful! She especially wonderfully captures our guests enjoying themselves and leaves us with evidence of such lasting memory! April's also gone above and beyond with helping us with some prop rentals from Olive Studio. Overall an amazing photographer, highly recommended! Thanks April!

April was incredible for both our wedding and engagement shoot!! She made us feel very comfortable and came up with so many creative and unique shot ideas. April made great use of extra lights in areas where the lighting wasn’t ideal to generate vibrant photos. She was great at enduring our large wedding party stayed on target! She turned around our photos incredibly fast with excellent retouching. She captured so many natural candid photos of our guests. I will definitely use April again for future shoots and refer her to friends. Fabulous job April!
