The Photography Process
Capturing The Entire Vision For Planners & Their Couples
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 know first hand — when the details are flawlessly executed, couples and their guests are, quite simply, relaxed. When they have a planner and a supporting team, it’s easier for them to feel at peace knowing that all will be designed, planned and captured for them. On our side, this leads to photographs that reflect pure happiness, complemented (and made more beautiful) by your help as their planner. The color palette, cuisine, bridal fashion, logistics and so much more — we love documenting everything from the subtle design choices to the full ceremony set-up.
Stories will be told about this day, and it’s your reputation on the line. We are committed to detail-driven photographs, helping you ensure that this experience is remembered for its style and meaning.

The Photography Process
How We Work With 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 couple, the 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 couple’s story is at the heart and the details are personalized to match your vision as their planner.
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 made to last.

Day of Content Creation
With an admiration for the work planners put in behind the scenes, we offer custom content creation using the newest iPhone. We’ll blend into your wedding planning team, capturing just the content you need for better behind-the-scenes footage. Receive the raw content to use as you wish, or even provide it to couples so they can have immediate access to short-form videos of their wedding.
"Dear Olivia, thank you for the peek at photos from Sally and Joe's wedding - great photos!!! 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 Collaboration We'll Always Look Forward To
Working closely with planners, our team ensures an effortless experience while creating modern photographs that last.
A Note Of Thanks
While many vendors worry about what time they’ll be served for 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.
