OVERVIEW

I will be a part of your wedding planning team from day one. I will help you to organise your special day and make sure we capture every wonderful moment to tell your wedding story.

Why couples choose me?

PROFESSIONAL

I am a full-time photographer, who specialises in photographing weddings and family portraits, in Canberra and the surrounds. I have been offering my services since 2017 and photographed hundreds of families and events including weddings. I've also received multiple awards and am recognised as a Professional Photographer by AIPP.

STYLE

My very own style has been developed over years is a mix of relaxed, romantic and creative shots. I capture the joyous candid moments along with some traditional photos for your family archives. I also love creating art, so let's do it together! I see your photos printed in large frames hanging in your home that will impress all your guests! I expect a "WOW!!" and nothing less than that when they see them.


CARING

I care deeply about my craft but even more so I care about the connections I make with the amazing people I get to work with. I will make your day run smooth and easy, as we discuss all the details in advance, having ideas for plans A to Z. I am available at any time whether you should need some advice or if you have any questions. You will have as many consultations as you need. We will organise a mini rehearsal of the day and we will discuss everything in great detail.

FRIENDLY

People also say I am a friendly, fun and an easy going person. Who knows whether it is true or not? There is only one way to find out - shoot me a message!


AND I LOVE COFFEE!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, we decided our must have an amazing photographer, and we found Olia. We were impressed with her work and loved the vibrant colors and unique detailed shots her portfolio included. She is a talented and creative photographer. We would very much recommend hiring her as your photographer for any kind of pictures.

Olia went above and beyond to make sure our wedding photo's were perfect we could not have been happier with the service and dedication received. She did not stop all day finishing late into the night and had not even ate her dinner we provided. I cannot recommend her enough I'm saddened now our engagement shoot and wedding is now over and we will have no contact because she has a big personalty that shine's just a lovely lady. If you book your wedding with Olia you will not be sorry with the decision.

Hi Michael, thank you so much for your warm words! It was my pleasure working on your big day! And thank you for looking after me as it's truly my weakness, that I can get too focused on capturing moments that I sometimes forget to look after myself. Haha. Your happiness and memories is the most important thing for me on the day!

October 2020

Olia was absolutely amazing with our engagement photos, they turned out so beautiful and she was so easy to work with. We felt so comfortable with her during the photo session that we instantly booked in with Olia for our wedding photos. COVID-19 affected our first date and arranging another date with Olia was so easy, she was wonderful to deal with throughout this entire process and made it far less stressful. Then the wedding happened and our photos are absolutely stunning! Everyone we have showed absolutely love the photos and all our guests loved working with her, she was friendly and kind and got on well with our family and friends. I can’t thank Olia enough for everything she has done! I highly recommend her.
