“We are so happy that we chose Olivia as our wedding photographer. The photos we’ve received are absolutely beautiful and truly captured our day better than we could have imagined. Every image feels natural and genuine, and she did an incredible job capturing both the big moments and all of the little details that made our wedding so special. Looking through our photos brings back so many memories and emotions from the day. She was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process and she was professional, organized, and made everything feel easy. She helped keep things running smoothly while making sure we got all of the photos that were important to us. Her talent is obvious in every photo she delivers. The quality, attention to detail, and ability to capture real moments is something we will always be grateful for. These are memories we’ll be able to look back on for the rest of our lives, and we couldn’t be happier with how she documented them. We cannot recommend Olivia enough and are incredibly grateful for the amazing work she did. If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture your wedding beautifully, she is absolutely the person to hire.”

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Ladysmith, WI

I have 12 years of photography experience, 9 years in the industry and have shot more than 200 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

“From the moment we first spoke with Melissa, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Her communication was prompt, thorough, and reliable, and she was such a friendly and calming presence throughout the entire process. Aside from capturing incredible photos that truly encapsulate the magic of our special day, Melissa went above and beyond the call of duty - she even helped us find an amazing DJ and assisted me with a last-minute wedding dress mishap! Working with Melissa was an absolute no-brainer, and she was by far the most stand-out vendor we had the pleasure of working with. The photos she delivered speak for themselves, and we are forever grateful for the fun, joyful, and professional way she contributed to making our wedding day so incredibly special.”
