OLIVIA ART & PHOTOGRAPHY
WEDDING & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi there...
SOOO...A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME...
I'm Olivia the lady behind the camera. Wife to my patient husband, mum to my two wild children, two not so obedient dogs and a small selection of ducks and chickens.
It is a pretty good idea to have a nose at the person who is going to document one of the most important days of your life. So let's see if we gel, as I believe the relationship you have with your photographer is so, so important. I want you to feel comfortable and relaxed so that I am able to capture you being YOU!
Most of my wedding couples say they feel like they have known me years and I just slot into their day like an old friend or family member and I want you to feel the same. I am not just here to take photos - think of me as an extra bridesmaid or groomsman. I am here for the pre-wedding advice, a helping hand on the day and definitely there dancing the night away capturing those mad dance floor moments.
PREVIOUS LIFE...
I've always had a camera from a very young age but before I followed my creative side I was in the Army as a Biomedical Scientist followed by teaching Chemistry. So I'm not too bad at shining shoes or crowd control for the sparkler photos.
It was family life that inspired me to pick up the camera again, wanting to capture every moment and memory. Then a very trusting family member saw my photos and asked if I wouldn't mind capturing their wedding....and the rest is history.
I can't tell you how much I love doing what I do! The combination of sharing my love for photography and spending time with people on one of the most happiest days of their lives is incredibly humbling. I can safely say I never look back and feel I have found a career that I am made for.
SPARE TIME...
I am usually outdoors with my family conquering some Derbyshire hill at 2 year old pace, teaching my 4 year old how to use his Polaroid or we are all in the kitchen making something yummy.
And lastly I LOVE a good film or series and take massive inspiration from what I watch. Colour and lighting literally fascinate me. How mood and emotion can alter with these changes.
I am a massive underdog story fan and geek out on Star Wars, Disney, Stranger Things and Dune. I am currently watching the Last Kingdom after visiting Bamburgh Castle and having no idea what the display was....So bad I know...sorry don't judge!
So in honour to the cinematography gods, I pride myself on always learning new ways to work with light and colour and my goal is to create beautiful, timeless images that you will cherish forever.
WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO
I believe that every story is unique and deserves to be told. I love capturing raw emotions and creating memories that will last a lifetime. With a fun and natural approach, I aim to make you feel comfortable and true to yourself.
I am soo so passionate about what I do and take pride in delivering high-quality photography to all my families and couples. I am dedicated to offering experience in wedding photography, family portraits, and more. Let me help you capture your special moments and tell your unique story.
