Photographer Claudia Oliver: Editorial Storyteller

My name is Claudia Oliver. I'm a Miami and Washington DC wedding photographer, portrait photographer and product photographer

With 13+ years of experience as a wedding photographer, and more than 200 wedding photograph, I've mastered the ability to tell your story, capturing candid moments as they unfold.

What make me unique is I can blend different styles in one image and often use more than one approach from one part of a wedding day to another,

I have been featured on various online wedding blogs including, Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Munaluchi Bridal, along with many others. I will make sure that every moment that matters to you is captured in your day.

There are many styles to describe different specialties , my approach and style overlap in this 3 wedding photography styles :

Documentary wedding photography :

My approach of wedding day is like a news story, capturing candid moments and raw emotions

Unlikely photojournalist, however, I might modify lighting for added drama , I interact direction to my client to tell / document a personal story , directing poses in a way that feels natural and less staged.

Fine Art wedding photography:

The main goal of Fine Art is to capture images that can be hung in a gallery as a piece of art.

Representing the bride and group , clients in the most beautiful way, working hard with lighting and composition to produce the kind of photos that belong to Magazines, free of background distraction while still conveying an overall narrative

Overall I prioritize that my clients experience the day in a fun and relaxed setting and to document authentic moments as they unravel with my guidance and direction, while still creating a natural feel.

How my clients describe my style?

"When searching for wedding photographers I knew I wanted traditional, classic, and timeless pictures. When looking for different vendors that hit these key words, you came up and the pictures are exactly what I was thinking of in my head (which is hard to do because I always have a ton of ideas floating around).

I found your Instagram and I was struck by your ability to capture warmth and beauty through photos. There is a drama and contrast to your photos without being excessively retouched or staged in appearance. Finding the mix of natural and artistic seems to be a challenge in wedding photography and I am so impressed by your ability to create drama without sacrificing the “real ness” of the day. We could only hope for such a commemoration of our day.
