Kami Olavarria. How much do we love her? Let us count the ways.

Working side-by-side with Kami at events is effortless. She’s an instant “Work Bestie.” Her capability and passion for what she does shine from her friendly smile. She’s a photographer who takes our mutual clients’ wants and needs into consideration without losing sight of the event’s bigger picture. Working as a team with strange vendors can be a gamble of strong personalities behind the scenes at an event, but having Kami around feels like welcoming home one of our own. She shares our same commitment to excellence and loyalty to her clients, two standards that we strive to keep high within our little work family.

From a client’s perspective, the photos she produces are stunning, and we feel they capture the best parts of our couples during their magical day with us. She can light up even the most awkward crowd, making everyone feel comfortable and look their best. She takes to heart all of your important details and will do everything in her power to see that your needs are met. On her website, she states that as your wedding photographer, she’s “your right-hand-woman. I’m like your bridesmaid / groomslady with a camera.” She takes it upon herself to become “more than just a hired vendor.” Her genuine excitement and support for her clients make her uniquely wonderful and fantastic at what she does.

Behind the Lens

According to her website, with the experience, knowledge, and expertise of photographing nearly 300 weddings, Kami works tirelessly to be there for every step of the planning process.

“My job is to make your day as easy and fun as possible, and in the meantime, capturing incredible images, you can look back on forever to remember the best day of all time. I am here with you every step of the way to be your sounding board and help you navigate the wedding industry with my planning guides, vendor referrals lists, coffee (or drink!) dates, video-chat sessions, and whatever else you need to help you sort through the BS and plan the celebration you’ve always wanted.”

The Method

It’s a true art finding the balance between knowing how to guide a crowd through an event without squashing the spontaneous merriment of the moment.

“My biggest philosophy is never making your day feel like a production – knowing when to step in and be directive but more importantly knowing when to step back and let your day unfold.”

Her unique sensitivity to each event helps her determine the right blend of candid documentary storytelling and high-energy direction. This talent allows for creating priceless images that blossom in the space where you have the time of your life on your big day!
