LOVE captured,
perfectly PACKAGED
THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE
My approach is documentary-led and soul-focused. I’m a firm believer that the best memories aren't manufactured—they're found in the spontaneous laughter and the unscripted tears. With 20 years behind the lens, I’ve mastered the art of finding interesting light anywhere—from the way soft shadows hit a textured wall to the way the golden sun catches a quiet glance. I provide 'in-action' direction to keep you feeling comfortable while ensuring the honest narrative of your day unfolds naturally. The result is a collection of authentic reactions, perfectly packaged into a timeless story that grows more beautiful with time.
All Wedding Packages Include:
+ 3 hours of candid, fun, documentary style shooting with special attention to details by April Sacko
​
Minimum of 400 hand edited, high resolution memories delivered in your private online gallery within 6-8 weeks.
Professional Online Gallery with personal printing rights and a connected store for easy sharing and heirloom ordering.
​
Timeline + Logistics Assistance to ensure you stay in the moment while I handle the backup plans and family dynamics.
​
A fully insured professional experience with top-tier backup gear and nearly 20 years of technical expertise.
Wedding collections begin at $3,350
Because I specialize in smaller, soulful weddings, I offer a flexible structure that scales with your plans. For intimate celebrations under 6 hours, I provide custom hourly rates to ensure you get exactly the coverage you need without the fluff. For larger festivities, we can easily tailor your day with additional time or a second storyteller to capture every angle.
"Interesting light lives EVERYWHERE. You don't need a "perfect" location with a permit —just a story to tell."
Your only job is to INDULGE
​
Your wedding day should be one of the most authentic days of your life. My goal is to capture your unique personality as a couple through beautiful, candid imagery while you stay fully immersed in the moment. At Olive Studio, you can expect:
​
-
Authentic, emotive moments between the poses.
-
Gorgeous portraits bathed in natural light.
-
Candid captures of the fleeting laughter or the quiet tears you might otherwise miss.
-
Clear 'in-action' direction so nothing ever feels forced or awkward.
I weave together a narrative from multiple perspectives, so when you open your gallery weeks later, you don't just see your wedding—you relive it in a new, vibrant light.

The Road to Your Story
How does this work?
Our process is simple and collaborative. You focus on the MOMENTS; I'll handle the DETAILS.
01 | REACH OUT
Tell me your story via the inquiry form. Don’t stress if your plans are still a "work in progress." Most of my favorite couples reach out while they’re still dreaming up the details and choosing between venues.
02 | LET'S CHAT
We’ll jump on a quick discovery call. This is where we get to know each other. You tell me how you want your day to feel, and I’ll share ideas on how to capture it all while keeping you completely at ease.
03 | RELAX + ENJOY
We make it official and start the countdown! I’ll send you a detailed questionnaire to help me map out your family dynamics and timeline. I’ll be your partner in the planning process, suggesting hidden gems for photos that don't require the hassle of permits, ensuring every detail is communicated for a smooth, soulful wedding day where you can simply indulge and be present.
