The Photography Pre-Wedding Process
Capturing The Entire Vision For You & Your Planner
We are honored to work hand in hand with wedding planners — carefully documenting editorial looks and meaningful moments. Aware that our work is made more powerful with stylish wedding designs, but also mindful that an event’s aesthetic can only be remembered with photographs that accurately capture every last detail. We document everything from the subtle design choices to the whole picture.
When the details are flawlessly executed, you’ll find that you and your partner will be relaxed, and your guests will be too. You can be at peace and actually enjoy each step, knowing that all will be designed, planned and captured for you. This also leads to photographs that reflect pure happiness, complemented (and made more beautiful) by your planner’s help with the color palette, cuisine, bridal fashion, logistics and so much more.
In short, stories will be told about this day. Having a custom wedding design and tailored guidance from a planner, along with detail-driven photographs, will ensure that this experience is remembered for its style and meaning.
Beautifully Orchestrated Wedding Plans.
Refined Wedding Photographs.
A Partnership With Incredible Results.

The Photography Pre-Wedding Process
How We Serve Your Planners
Founded On
Relationships
We appreciate long-term partnerships with planners who equally value a strong client experience, editorial photographs and overall — well-designed weddings. Every interaction we have with you, your planner, your guests or other vendors is treated with great care.
Prioritizing
Customization
A unique timeline, portrait shotlists with family names to simplify the process, ideas for innovation — your story is at the heart and the details are personalized to match your vision.
Curating An
Experience
We walk into wedding events fully prepared
— having completed site walkthroughs, knowing the best backdrops for portraits, and pinpointing the ideal locations for lighting. Posing, when needed, is artistic and natural, and the candid captures feel editorial while maintaining emotion.
Carefully Rendering
The Photographs
A clean editing style avoids fading trends, and each image is hand-edited for color correction, skin tones, distracting details, cropping, white balance and more. Shared through an online gallery with full print and personal usage rights. With each image and heirloom made to last.

"KUDOS to you for being a calming force on Saturday"

KUDOS to you for being the calming force on Saturday and taking such patience in putting together a great timeline! It was truly wonderful to work with you on this event — not always the easiest but calm and patience got us through the day and all looked just fabulous!! Many thanks, Olivia!"

A Note Of Thanks
While many vendors worry about what time they’ll be served dinner, our number one priority is serving our couples well. We spend months of preparation making sure the wedding is thoroughly captured, sitting down with couples and planners alike to confirm details and share unique insights. Then, we tailor our photo list and workflow so each image is personalized, and planned for.
This collaboration towards an intentional experience is what feeds us, and we are grateful to those who trust us to follow through. Thank you again for considering Olivia Wenzel Photography.
