Olivia Yuen Photographer | Reviews

I’d hire her again in a heartbeat! Olivia is thoughtful and considerate. She is also an efficient and professional communicator. She has a calm spirit which is what I needed to balance the chaos of the day, but she had no trouble commanding the space she needed to the important work I hired her to do…such a breath of fresh air. The product she delivered was second to none. I am still not over how perfectly she captured our day! Did I mention she was 8 months pregnant at our wedding? She was SUCH A CHAMP. Highly recommend her. She was the absolute best.

Olivia was and incredible photographer. She worked with us from across the country to help us plan for our New Orleans wedding all the way from Las Vegas! The questionnaires she sent throughout the planning process gave us the platform to communicate what was most important to us. On our wedding day she was very kind and considerate. She was understanding of the family drama we had going on, and she never made us feel like we weren't the most important people for the day. She truly helped us focus on each other, and I feel our pictures really reflect that. Although she herself was traveling cross-country immediately after our wedding, she still was able to get our sneak peek photos back quickly. We are so appreciative of all the beautiful memories she captured for us on our wedding day!

There are not enough stars or words in the world to describe how amazing Olivia is! From day one, her personality and calmness when planning the photos of our wedding was incredible. Talking to her and being in her presence is seriously like a warm hug. She asks you and lays out exactly what details we wanted for our wedding. She made us feel so comfortable and calm on a very busy day with many family members. She captured us perfectly. She made us feel like ourselves and her skills of using three different cameras (digital, film, Polaroid) is unreal. Every picture feels like you were there. Olivia has become a friend and was my favorite vendor of the whole day!

Where do I even begin? Hiring Olivia was the best choice I could have ever made for our wedding!! Her photos are authentic, her communication clear, and professionalism top notch!! I’m continuously looking back at the photos of our wedding to relive it. That’s how wonderfully talented Olivia is- she captures “moments” in time, making her artwork priceless. Olivia not only is incredibly talented, but she truly goes above and beyond to make everything perfect. We were asked a series of questions about which photos we wanted ahead of time, making the wedding day seamless. SHE ALSO DROVE 8 HOURS TO MAKE IT TO OUR WEDDING AFTER HER FLIGHT GOT CANCELLED! She knows how important this day is to you and does everything in her power to make it perfect. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for our family. Olivia is a GEM of a person who will help preserve life’s most sacred moments. You will not regret it.

I can hardly put into words how incredible Olivia is as a human being and a photographer. I followed Olivia on social media far before I was ever engaged. When we started selecting wedding vendors, Olivia as our photographer was the easiest decision we made. Her style is so beautifully real and natural. It mirrors the beauty in the moments she’s capturing. This is why I chose her. She traveled with us all the way to Hawaii where she took the most incredible photos I’ve ever seen in my life. We went back and forth for a long time on whether we should hire a videographer. Ultimately we decided not too in an effort to spend money elsewhere. I was still a bit sad about this decision up until we received our photos. After looking through so many beautiful photos that captured every intimate moment from the day we both agreed we never needed a videographer. The only problem we have is deciding which photos to have printed because we are in love with every single one. Olivia will capture one of the most important days of your life in the most comfortable, natural and beautiful way. She was beyond worth everything we spent for photos. I promise if you are looking for a photographer and you have come across Olivia’s name you will not find anyone who will be better.

Olivia is perhaps the most thoughtful and generous artist I’ve met with a keen eye for detail that accurately captures the essence of a person or relationship. Working with her felt natural and easy, like being welcomed home by an old friend. As a same sex couple, we had difficulty finding someone who was talented and artistic with a unique style while also recognizing the limits and difficulties of navigating an otherwise “traditional” wedding planning landscape. I knew when I looked at her website and saw her deep passion for stories of ALL identities that she was someone we’d love working with. She was conscientious and asked a lot of questions during the planning process, and did it all with so much grace (even when discussing topics like family members that might be challenging to handle). She touched base with us often and always kindly reminded us of things to remember along the way. On the day of, she was so skilled at ensuring she captured the most important moments while easily blending into the crowd as if she herself were part of the guest list. Our friends and family loved her!! She even built in quiet intimate moments for my wife and I away from the chaos. For example, we had a moonlight dance, and after snapping a few photos, she helped usher everyone out of the room and it was just us, closing down the reception in the dark with a favorite song. It was pure bliss. She turned around with our photos, and WOW were they everything we had hoped for and more! We cherish them deeply. They tell our story, and somehow, capture all sides of our personality as well as that of our favorite family and friends. It’s no secret, we 1000/10 recommend her.

I have nothing but great things to say about Olivia! From the moment she showed up (early which I love) she was helpful, thoughtful, respectful and an absolute dream to work with. She gives amazing direction, reminds you during wedding chaos of the pictures you forgot you wanted and most importantly captures your day better than you can ever imagine! Give Olivia some freedom and she will make your dreams come true!!

Working with Olivia was an amazing experience. She made us feel seen and heard as a couple and really paid attention to the things that made us uniquely us. It is completely captured in her beautiful work. You can see the joy, the love, and the many tears of our wedding. We by no means had a big budget wedding but I feel like it was captured so well it could be in a wedding magazine. From the intimate attention to detail to the fun shots at the end of the night it was all captured beautifully. We are so pleased that these are the photos we will have to remember our wedding by. In a more practical sense, Olivia was also a vital component of our planning process. She was involved in our timeline creation and it helped us not feel rushed throughout the event. We cannot recommend her services strongly enough. Her work is high quality and as she further establishes herself in New Orleans I imagine her work will be in high demand.
