Olympia, WA Wedding Photographer & Filmmaker

Pacific coastline, wine country, old-growth forest and city rooftops — a Olympia wedding can hold four landscapes in one day.

Wedding photographers & videographers in Olympia

Working around Olympia means reading the marine layer: it softens the light beautifully when it stays and gives you a second sunset when it lifts. We plan portraits for either outcome and know which venues get the fog first.

Olivia Layne Studios works nationwide with senior photographers and filmmakers, travel already included and a calendar kept small on purpose, so every wedding gets a first-team crew. If we have not worked your exact venue yet we visit it before your day — light, timing, logistics — so nothing about Olympia is a surprise on the morning of.

The light in Olympia

The hour you choose for the ceremony decides what your photographs look like, and that hour is specific to Olympia. A June sunset here lands at 9:08 PM with golden hour from about 8:20 PM; by October the sun is down by 6:24 PM, a difference of 2 hours 44 minutes inside a single wedding season. Begin a Olympia ceremony near the times in the table and the vows, family portraits and couple portraits all happen while the light is still soft and in front of you.

Where couples marry in Olympia

The Olympia venues couples ask us about most. We will not pretend to have worked every one of them, so when a venue is new to us we visit before your date and plan the day from the room itself: where the ceremony light falls, where family portraits hold up, and how long the walk from getting-ready to first look really takes.

Questions couples in Olympia ask us

Do you charge a travel fee for weddings in Olympia, WA?

No. Olivia Layne Studios works nationwide and travel is part of every collection, so a Olympia wedding is priced exactly like one in our own neighbourhood.

Do you offer wedding videography in Olympia as well as photography?

Yes. Every collection comes as photography, film, or both from one team. Combined coverage starts at $3,100, includes a complimentary engagement session, and gives you one timeline instead of two vendors competing for the same light.

Have you photographed weddings in Olympia before?

Not every venue in Olympia, and we would rather say so. When a venue is new to us we visit before your date and plan the ceremony light, the portrait spots and the walking time between them.

Soft, true-to-colour frames — several hundred edited photographs you own outright.

Highlight film and extended edit cut from your own vows and toasts, raw footage included.

Photo & Film

One team for both, one timeline, and a complimentary engagement session.
