OLIVIA

I’m Olivia, a Charleston-based wedding photographer with an editorial eye and a deep love for real moments. My work is refined, story-driven, and intentional, but I never want your experience to feel stiff or overly serious.

I bring a little edge, a little warmth, and a lot of heart into everything I do. My style lives somewhere between artistry and feeling, elevated but human, polished but full of personality. Think editorial with a pulse.

I started with film, which taught me how to slow down, trust my instincts, and shoot with purpose. That foundation still shapes how I work today. I will guide you when you need it, keep things relaxed, and make sure you never feel awkward or overly posed.

I photograph weddings in Charleston and wherever your story takes you. Whether it is by the water, in a city, or somewhere far from home, my goal is to create images that feel cool, timeless, and unmistakably you.
