Oregon Wedding + Elopement Photographer

When we work together, I take my time to get to know your love story, your quirks, your shared interests, and what you love most about your partner. The greater our photographer-couple connection, the more your photos will naturally reflect how much you love each other (and I have no doubt we’ll become friends in the process).

My passion & priority are making your session an experience that’s unique to who you are as a couple.

You deserve photos that feel true to what your love is really like beyond the camera lens.

Because a memorable and true-to-you experience is the key to the most beautiful, intimate photos imaginable, and that’s what I’m here to help bring to life!

This is an opportunity for you to bond as a couple. 

When it comes to choosing a photographer for the most memorable moments of your life, I believe that person should make you feel safe, connected, and free to be your truest selves.

This is why I take the time to get to know my couples on a friendship level before we even start to think about the images. To me, it’s not an impersonal transaction for the sake of pretty pictures…

And all the in-between moments you never want to forget.

I don’t push stiff, boring poses on you, but rather, guide + prompt you when needed.

What stays consistent in my work is the emphasis I put on understanding what makes your relationship special. A sense of connection and safety with your photographer is key to getting dreamy, soulful photos that capture the hidden details of what made you fall in love with each other in the first place.

This is how i prompt + capture the affection, vulnerability, and romantic moments so you can relive them for a lifetime!






I believe that weddings + couple’s sessions are a chance to allow you to connect deeper with each other & celebrate your once-in-a-lifetime moments. 

My social adaptability is one of my superpowers as a photographer because I can easily cultivate an environment that allows my clients to feel comfortable expressing their love to each other. Your love story deserves to be captured and you deserve to have fun doing it!

Hi, I'm Olivia!

Briana + Niehls | Elopement

Olivia is the best of the best and I am not exaggerating. My partner and I decided to elope on a mountain overlooking Mt. Hood and Olivia hiked with us, camped with us, and made us camera-shy people feel like supermodels. She was so fun yet professional. The part of our experience that still blows me away is that the day was absolutely perfect, and somehow she was able to capture the full magic and beauty of the scenery and celebration. I will continue to recommend Olivia to friends, family, strangers, dogs - really anyone who will listen!

“MADE US CAMERA-SHY PEOPLE FEEL LIKE SUPERMODELS”

Katie + Jarod | Couples Session

We did a couples photoshoot on the coast with Olivia and it was by far the most comfortable and enjoyable time we’ve had with a photographer! Typically my husband has a hard time relaxing and being himself in front of a camera, but Olivia was able to bring him immediately out of his shell and have him laughing and at ease through our whole session. We even brought our energetic puppy along for a few shots and she handled his craziness and the added stress effortlessly. I can’t recommend Olivia enough for her personability, professionalism and talent! Her ability to capture the smallest details and moments most would miss is awe-inspiring.

Maddy + Austin | Wedding

Olivia is an absolute dream maker, miracle worker, and photographing goddess! She captured our special day in a way we could not have been more happy with! Her style of photography, and the way she makes you feel so comfortable and confident in front of her camera is a true super power. She is also so incredibly fun and gets to know her couple on a more friendship/personal level to really help bring out the best parts of their relationship. She treats her shoots like a mini couples date which really helps couples connect. Her photography is just beautiful and she captured all the moments that were most important to us on our big day.

Your love story is my ultimate inspiration

Wondering what a gallery of warm and nostalgic photos looks like? 

You deserve a thoughtful, cared-for experience with a photographer committed to capturing your love as it truly is. I’m after “that is SO us” images that hold the butterflies you felt in those moments.
