Love Letters
"Words can’t even begin to describe how much we LOVED working with Livv!!! From the very beginning we instantly connected and felt so comfortable being in front of a lens with her! She flew out to Colorado to do our engagement session and then shot our wedding back in Ohio.
She was SO much more than just our photographer. She was a person to vent too, she helped get me in and out of my dresses, made sure my makeup was on point, captured everything we wanted, offered to help with ANYTHING and became one of my favorite gal pals throughout the process. She was constantly checking in and making sure we had everything we needed and wanted. So organized and on top of it!!!!
We got our sneak peeks back from our wedding day and HOLY SMOKES, straight fire!!! My jaw dropped when I looked at them. We cannot wait to see the full gallery!! Livv will forever be our go to photographer, her work speaks for itself! 5 stars all around, stay amazing girlfriend!!!!!! 🫶

"Livv is absolutely incredible! Ben and I are blown away by her talent and the stunning photos she captured of our wedding day. Every time we look at them, we notice something new that takes our breath away. Not only is Livv insanely talented, but she also made the entire experience so fun and seamless. She has a way of making you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and her attention to detail is unmatched.
Working with Livv was truly one of the highlights of our wedding journey. She went above and beyond to make sure every moment was captured beautifully, and we feel so blessed to have had her as our photographer. If you’re looking for someone who will exceed your expectations and deliver photos you’ll cherish forever, Livv is the one. We couldn’t recommend her enough!"

"If we had to pick our wedding vendors again, we would choose Livv a hundred times over. She did such a great job capturing our day. She absolutely nailed the candids, still shots, and everything in between. Our photo collection is the perfect balance of romantic, formal, and well-captured “bloopers” that we love. Our package also included an engagement shoot, which we adored as well (10/10 recommend the engagement shoot). Between the engagement shoot and the wedding day, we’ve got her photos displayed everywhere. We even used our engagement photos as wedding decorations!
Livv made our wedding day agenda seamless. We weren’t sure how the day would go in terms of time management and were worried that we would get off-schedule. We didn’t even think about the time when it came to our big day - she kept us in line without us even noticing at the time.
Previously, I have been intimidated when a camera is out, not knowing what to do. Posing isn’t something that I have practiced, so I wasn’t sure how our shoots would go. Nonetheless, Livv is a rockstar and made being photographed feel effortless. She prompted us for every “still” shot and captured us in action, so that it almost felt as if the camera wasn’t there.
Overall, Livv was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to any friends or family members who are planning a wedding or looking to capture a special day. I’m looking forward to working with Livv in the future for all of our photography needs!!" - Emma + Tyler
