Portland, OR Wedding Photography By Sarah Olivia

 
 
 

My Story

Hey, I’m Sarah. To put it simply, I grew up home schooled running wild on my family’s farm, feeding the chickens and living for bon fire nights under the stars - all the while with dirt caked into my barefoot toes. As far as my travel bug goes, it started early on…before i was even legal to sign my own waivers at the sketchy youth hostels I’d end up at - yup, they had to be faxed to my parents. Ahh good times. Those were the times that taught me that living in the moment and making the best memories is what we’re made to do. When I’m not on another cheap flight somewhere, you can find me working on our van buildout, trying a new restaurant (HUGE FOODIE) or digging through a thrift store.

Today, I live in Portland, Oregon! My favorite days are the rainy ones - you know the ones where you can wear your coziest sweater? Those days are spent lighting more candles and finding a good book.

“The day of our wedding, we were both so nervous. However, as soon as we started taking photos with Sarah we felt so much calmer. Sarah had a way of making us feel so comfortable, which really made the moments that she captured look so natural. When we got our photos back, our jaws dropped. They are absolutely magical and looking at them transports us back to that day. Even months later, our friends and family continue to tell us that they have never seen such beautiful photos.
Working with Sarah was a dream come true and we truly couldn’t imagine having anyone else photograph our day! We HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a photographer to hire her ASAP!!”

“Where do I start? If you need someone to capture all of the emotions you’ve felt on your special day, that’s Sarah. If you need someone to help you feel at ease on your wedding day and someone you can lean on like a friend, that’s Sarah. If you need someone to deliver the most breathtaking images, again, Sarah. I truly can’t imagine anyone else who can capture such amazing photos. She is the most kind person in all of the land and I’m so grateful that SHE was our photographer. She’s very experienced in this field and she helped guide me through the stressful day. I’m sure she’s done this a million times but the dedication she has to offer making sure that each couple feels personal to her is truly amazing. She’s definitely one I’ll want to keep around and if I could, my husband and I would hire her in every lifetime for all of our weddings.”

Sarah's magic is in the balance she embodies. She is incredibly skilled in her art, and she is equally impressive in the level of care, poise, and practicality she brings to every interaction. She is light, playful, focused, detail/time oriented all in one. She and Dakota were both so easeful, fading into the background, then stepping up to lead with patience and the ability to navigate a large group of very excited family members. She builds trust from the very beginning, so by our wedding day I felt like I was working with an old friend who knew my vision and was genuinely excited to be celebrating with us. The photos are an absolute dream. They capture our love, the people we love, and the landscape perfectly. It was an honor and a delight to share our wedding celebration with Sarah, and we would do it again 1000 times over.

“Sarah is absolutely the best. We wouldn't have had a perfect wedding without her. She's quick, efficient , and knows what she's doing. I could never ask for more. If you're looking to have a wedding then you MUST have Sarah. She's more than a photographer, she's a friend for life. Also, we had a big fiasco and a tux was sent to the wrong town. She even went out of her way to pick it up to save the day. Otherwise, he would have been wearing pajamas. She's such a sweetheart and lifesaver.”
