Arne & Mary were married on April 22nd this year on a beautiful (but windy!) sunny day. They spend their day with their children and so many amazing and loving friends and family who were there to celebrate with them. Congratulations again, guys!

Miranda and Mark are another May couple of ours. For their engagement session we decided to hit Yaletown in the evening a couple of weeks ago. What I love the most about using urban areas for photo shoots is the abundance of different options we have at our fingertips. Within a block we can shoot on the water, in front of an old building, and at a cafe. Such an opportunity to be creative!

Here are three of our favourite shots. Looking forward to the wedding!

You know how all those movies end with the happy couple in love sailling off into the sunset? Well, that’s just what these two intend to do. With a yacht cruise scheduled for the reception, they’ll be watching the sunset with their friends and family to celebrate their wedding in May. I can’t wait to shoot the images!

Congrats again guys! We’ll see you in a couple of weeks!

Linda and Paul’s wedding is quite possibly the single wedding of the year that I am most looking forward to.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am excited about ALL of our weddings and am giddy that I get to spend basically every single weekend between now and October photographing so many amazing couples as they take the step of tying the knot. All of our weddings, however, are not taking place close to my most very favourite bed and breakfast in the whole wild world - Jensen’s Bay B&B in Tofino. And, what a better complement to a mini-vacation (because now that’s what their wedding weekend is to us - the room has been booked!) than to get to shoot a wedding on the beach? I can’t wait!

Needless to say, the beach was the perfect spot for some engagement photos. Looking forward to September for the big affair!

I stumbled upon Ladies who Launch via another local entrepreneur’s blog last night, and I’m practically tripping over myself already because I’m so excited.

Ladies who Launch - as best as I can describe it - is a collective of creative entrepreneur type women working together to help each other reach their goals through networking, mentoring, idea generating, and just plain old girl talk. There is an incubator workshop being held in Vancouver in May led by the fabulous Bodacious Girls, and I’m already signed up.

I’m already meeting with someone I met last night through the network next weekend to talk about possibly helping out with some of the photography for an up coming tres cool Crave Party project, and I just CANNOT wait until May when I get to meet everyone else.

I spend my days immersed in Blue Olive… working on our new logo & brand (to be launched soon!), networking with other photographers, pouring over neat marketing ideas to get our name out to future Blue Olive couples, and thinking up great ways to WOW our current clients.

Since moving our studio to Vancouver in the fall, I’ve never felt so EXCITED about our business as I do this week (if that’s even possible, because I’m always excited about it!). Later this month we’ve been setting up a dinner and drinks get together for some other local wedding photographers so it will be great to meet more people. And now, with Ladies who Launch I’m going to meet and work with a whole pile of amazing, talented, and creative local women who are looking for the same thing as I am - to take a idea, turn it into reality or expand it exponentially from where it is now, and KICK SOME BUTT with what we do!
