Blue Olive Photography has been officially invited to participate in Aisle Walk for 2007!

Aisle Walk is the swankiest new wedding magazine around, showcasing hand picked vendors “especially selected for their distinctive style, a reputation for excellence, and a passion for what they do.” Participation is by invitation only to industry leaders within the Vancouver & Whistler wedding market.

Needless to say, we’re honoured to have been chosen and thrilled to participate! One of our lucky couples will have their photos featured in next year’s magazine, and I just love to see our brides in print.

Be sure to hit the website to request your electronic copy of the current magazine, or find it at vendors around town. Once the new edition is out at the end of the year we’ll be sure to share our piece.

I can share!

The cat is out of the bag and I am excited to share some more of the images we got of Christopher & Anna’s wedding earlier this month. Anna was simply stunning and Christopher in his fedora just took the cake.

Enjoy!

We were honoured on Saturday to attend the most beautifully classic wedding of two completely in love people. Rather than dive into the craziness that often follows typical wedding planning, these two chose to elope and to spend their day focussed on the most important part of marriage - eachother.

I have so many photos I am dying to share, but I need to keep these anonymous for now so I’m going to tease you with a couple of the details instead. Once the marriage has been announced to all their family and friends I’ll be sure to share more!

When you spend a week at a workshop and come home, you get asked constantly about how it went and what you learned.

When you attend a normal business type workshop, you come away with specific changes you will make or investigate for your business - new software, a better way to do something you’re already doing, a neat new marketing tip. You have tangibles.

The focus of FW4 was to get the participants to think differently… to see differently. I’m pretty sure they accomplished just that.

But, what specifically did I learn? What tangible things did I walk away with?

I can’t tell you. I just know… it was good. Really good.

Everything is so abstract… I walked away with a number of mantras and vague concepts, things I can’t articulate and that my right brain is still digesting, but stuff I know I’ll have running through my head from now on whenever I pick up my camera or edit a shoot. Shoot and move, shoot and move. Watch for secondary subject matter. Anticipate the moment, as in, REALLY anticipate it. When you think you’ve nailed it, work it some more. And more. And again. You might surprise yourself. No tilty, tilty; no funky, funky. When it’s a good time to get that SCREAMING TIGHT SHOT (and why I’d better ensure that shot is horizontal when I grab it). There’s so much more…

Part of our week had us out on assignment, assignments that revolved around anything but weddings. I spent time with a family of 4 - Alex, Rob, Max (5), and Nia (3). We shot during the day, painfully edited and critiqued the shoot at night, and did it again the next day. I’ve been home for 4 days and was only there for 5 and I’m still playing catch up on my sleep.
