I’m Olivia, a coastal North Carolina photographer specializing in weddings, motherhood, and the in-between moments that matter most. My approach is simple, I don’t just pose you, I document you. The quiet touches, the laughter, the way your day actually felt. Your wedding isn’t just a timeline to me, it’s a story. As a mom myself, I’ve learned how quickly moments pass, and that’s what drives my work. I’m here to create images that bring you right back to how it all felt, years down the road. If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel comfortable, seen, and genuinely cared for on your wedding day… you’re in the right place.

I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Olivia for our wedding day! From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. She has such a calming, fun presence that made the entire experience feel effortless—even for two people who aren’t used to being in front of the camera. On the wedding day, she went above and beyond. She captured every little detail, every emotion, and all the in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again. Her editing style is absolutely stunning…light with a touch of warm tones, romantic, and timeless without feeling overdone. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also organized, responsive, and truly passionate about what she does. We’ve had so many compliments on our photos, and we will cherish them forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who will hype you up, make you feel beautiful, and deliver a gallery you’re obsessed with—Olivia is your girl!!!

I’m a veteran wife and mama of 3, with a passion for documenting love stories. I picked up my first camera at 11 years old and have kept learning since. With my years of experience in wedding photography I give couples timeless, heirloom moments to look back on for years. I’m a believer and try my best to honor God in all that I do with the talent and business he has blessed me with.

Rebecca has been our photographer 3 times now and I’m not sure how we can go with anyone else at this point. She knows our quirks, how to call me out for my terrible fake smile, and doesn’t stop until she gets the shots she knows we’re going to want. Seeing how excited she gets about finding the perfect light or backdrop just further confirms we picked the right one. She is truly an artist and it’s a joy to watch her at work while also being the subject. Whether you’re shy in front of the camera or not, she’s going to make sure you have the best time and helps guide you to make timeless memories. She blew us away off the bat with our engagement photos; gave me the most fun, confidence-boosting bridal boudoir session; and then absolutely rocked our worlds covering our wedding. Hire her!!

Von Creative Studio 
Richlands, NC
  • Venue
  • Up to 30 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $300

There is a specific, quiet energy that belongs only to the morning of a wedding. It is a mix of hushed anticipation and the soft clunk of glassware against a marble tabletop. At Von Creative, we believe the environment where these moments unfold is just as important as the “I do” itself. In recent years, the conversation around weddings has shifted. Couples are moving away from the sprawling, 200-person guest lists and the logistical weight of the traditional. But in that shift toward the “micro,” a misconception has taken root: that choosing a smaller wedding means settling for a simpler experience. Here, intimacy is the ultimate luxury. A wedding in a space designed for imagery is a choice to prioritize the legacy of your imagery. Whether you are looking for a place to get ready, a backdrop for your bridal portraits, or a high-end space to say your vows, we invite you to see the studio as a blank canvas where your story can be told in its most beautiful, polished form.

The harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

I knew I had some craft skills and did not want to hire a florist, so found Flower Moxie online to do the flowers myself for my daughter's wedding. Maria was very helpful and responsive. I scheduled a phone call to answer my questions and then placed an order for loose flowers and greenery, mixed boxes, and premade wearables and bouquets. I felt the pricing was reasonable. I ordered the vases etc. online along with extra ribbon and pins. Please know you have to refrigerate the wearables, I recommend a wine fridge for the slightly warmer temperature. The flowers arrived as described, and although the corsages seemed small, they actually wore just fine. I was able to add some color to the bridal bouquet with the loose flowers. I found the process to be low-cost, low-stress, and again Maria was so very helpful that I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. My daughter loved what I was able to do.
