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!

Amazing experience with April!
I could not be happier in choosing April at Olive Studio to photograph my bridal shower last September. From the moment I connected with her, she was professional, down to earth, attentive to my vision and respectful of the budget I had to work with.
On the day of, April executed flawlessly. She really went above and beyond in capturing all the details/raw moments of the whole day. So many of my guests also shared how thoughtful and polite she was — jumping in at every moment to take photos of different groups. What's even more amazing is at the time she was 8 months pregnant!
Following the event, I have received so many compliments on the quality/style of the photos and the moments that were captured. Thank you April for everything, you truly made this day I will never forget.

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!
