Welcome to Olive and Oath, an intimate wedding photographer and bridal education company based in Riverside, CA.

Hey there, I’m Kelsey! I’m a Southern California-based wedding and elopement photographer with a love for capturing charm locally and around the world. I'm inspired by those intimate, fleeting moments—like your hands intertwined or that infectious, spontaneous laugh—that tell your unique story. My goal is to turn these memories into artful, timeless photographs. Whether you’re celebrating love, family, or life’s special moments, I’m here to document your genuine connection and joy. Let’s create stunning images that become cherished treasures for years to come!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our big day! Everything was of course super stressful for our wedding, but Kelsey made this part of our planning seamless and stress-free. We told her what style we were going for and she totally nailed it. She made sure to pay attention to the details we wanted captured (and a couple insecurities we mentioned) She was super easy to work with, laid out a detailed plan for the day, and went with the flow when plans changed. Our photos turned out beyond perfect and we literally want to put them everywhere in our house. Highly recommend Kelsey!

I’m a thrift shopper who loves cozy blankets and good pasta. Now that I'm a mom (of twins!), I'm reminded every day of how important the little moments are and how important it is for me to capture them before they're gone! I like to think that my style is natural and genuine :) I smile big, love to laugh but also might cry at your first dance.

Emily was truly wonderful to work with. I was nervous about taking "cheesy" pictures for my wedding day but after speaking to Emily, I knew immediately that she was an expert in her field and knows exactly how to capture the right moment. I was not disappointed, our wedding pictures turned out stunning. She has a great eye for the perfect moment and her attention to detail is impeccable. Not to mention, she is kind, professional and responsive. I highly recommend Emily and I plan on using her services to capture other important life events.

Brianna was an absolutely amazing photographer- I cannot recommend her enough if you're getting married in the Palm Springs area. She was highly communicative from pre-hire to photo delivery; so much so that she even helped me create a wedding timeline! She uses an easy to follow program to ensure that she captures any moment you desire. On the day of the wedding she was prompt and unbelievably helpful. She is kind, creative and fun! She was able to capture so many more images than I even thought of. Her style is very candid and natural, which is exactly what I wanted. When I look at my photos, I feel like I am reliving the day all over again, not looking at posed images that are staged and forced. The quality of my photos exceeded all expectations- I have gotten so many compliments. Without question I would hire her again!

Please request a full gallery to truly see the depth of my photography. Unfortunately portraits are extremely compressed on this platform. I do love capturing people in all their forms. In Love, happiness, and excitement and so many other moments in life. Each session is a literal reminder of this amazing life that we live. From the moment you sign on with me we get to work. If you have a coordinator I will immediately reach out & work with them to make sure we work as a team. I also have a list of vendors and venues if you need any suggestions.

I have a love for travel and I'm obsessed with my dog and two cats. I enjoy lots of raw, sassy humor and a little bit of sarcasm. Tequila is my go-to... all the margaritas please! The desert is where you’ll find me on any given day. There’s something so magical about that place, am I right? I love learning the little weird things about my couples and bringing out the corkiness. We all have it! If you like what you’re reading, maybe I'm the one!

Awarded Best of Zola
I knew I wanted to work with Kellie after she did my friends wedding video a few years back. We had a tight budget and she worked with us to create a highlight video for our ceremony so that we could have a video of the most important part of our day. She is very professional and came up with unique shot ideas (detail shots, dancing, active poses, etc.). The video turned out beautifully and feels unique to us and our special day. I am forever grateful for the experience I had with Kellie and the video she created for us. She is so driven and talented! Highly recommend and if you are debating getting a video or not (as I know it’s not in everyone’s budget) I would advise you to just go for it as I can’t imagine not having the video. I would have regretted it so much! Just do it…and go with Kellie too, she’s the best!

I cannot recommend Nick enough! He did both our engagement and wedding photos. He is incredibly talented at what he does! He listens and is super patient. (At the time, we had a wiggly 4 year old daughter that he understood had a limited attention span!) We didn't want a ton of still shots of us...and he still managed to get the most important ones on our wedding day. He knew we wanted to capture the fun/touching moments of our day and he did just that. Additionally, our engagement photos were so beautiful too! We plan to use Nick throughout the years as our family grows...thank you so much for locking our most precious day in time!

Being part of a couples' wedding day is the ultimate honor. My goal is to capture your love at its most natural, your wedding details like they're straight out of a magazine, and your candid family like a National Geographic photog would. Coming from a big family with lots of personality (hellooo I'm the oldest of 8), I "get" what you're feeling as you plan this wedding and I'm here ensure you LIVE FULLY on your wedding day.

Talented. Professional. Fun. We feel like we struck gold with Alex as our wedding photographer! We wanted a photographer that could do it all: capture real emotion, help create some editorial moments, and deliver fantastic family portraits - and we got that and more with Alex. We are so happy with the results! We’re also so glad we did an engagement shoot prior to our wedding. It allowed us to get comfortable being in front of the camera and when it came time for our wedding day, it felt like Alex was just one more friend in the room who just happened to be capturing every special moment.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by and congratulations on your engagement! We are a team of photographers that believe that natural light, a simple setting, good people, and real emotion are the purest ingredients that make the best photographs. Photography should be fun and your photos should reflect the love you share.

In college I had many interests that I thought about pursuing as a career, but never felt fully passionate or satisfied in those options. Photography had been one of my many hobbies I enjoyed, and once took a few photography classes in college I grew a deeper love for the art. Eventually decided I wanted to start my own photography business, which I officially launched early 2022! My passion for photography has been an answered prayer, and I am so blessed to be able to have opportunities to work with some truly amazing humans and capture special moments in their life.
