We were very excited to work at Cecil Green Park House at UBC, and the occasion did not disappoint. The day was what we like to call Wedding Perfect - cloudy enough that it’s easy on the eyes and for dynamic skies in photos, but nice enough that everyone is comfortable outside. Just right.

In a couple words, I would describe their wedding as simply elegant. From the decor and flowers to the hint of colour and of course Rachel herself, everything flowed together easily. Simply perfect.

In our typical less words - more pictures style, on with the photos!

Getting married!

Lots of great details - The Rings!

The guest placecards were hanging in the branches when they arrived. Simple, yet elegant

And another view of the cake - with 3 of the cutest imaginable kids eyeing it up!

And the shot to end off the set - Cecil Green and the guests as they mingle the night away

Congrats to you both! You make a gorgeous couple, and had a truly beautiful wedding. Chat soon!!

And, of course, to give heaps of credit where credit is due the team came together with another gorgeous wedding cake by Paula from Aeyra Cakes, coordination and planning by Alicia from Dreamgroup Productions, floral and decor by Halfyard Designs, invites by the fabulous ladies over at Blue Skies and Daisies, and Jeanie put on the Blue Olive hat to second shoot. Amazing work all of you!

Originally from Vancouver, Brooke and Russ have been living in New Zealand for the past few years. We’ve been chatting with them for almost a year and a half as they planned their wedding from afar, and were super excited to finally meet when they flew to Vancouver in the days before the wedding!

I think one of the coolest things for them was that it really wasn’t just a wedding, but also a reunion - living on opposite ends of the globe it becomes a rare treat to spend time with closest friends and family.  They had a close knit group of people there to celebrate with them, and no one wasted any time in starting the party. What a blast!

Detail, details. Kudos to Paula at Aeyra Cakes for yet another gorgeous cake as well as the folks at ko-’ket design and Eleni Floral for their share of these details

The Ceremony - I love Brew Creek Lodge, it’s such a great venue and this is just one shot that shows how gorgeous it is

The Bride & Groom

This reception shot pretty much sums it up

And - the party! Oh, the dancing. I couldn’t pick just one…

CONGRATS again to you both! Hope you are well back in New Zealand, and that your Tahiti honeymoon was fabulous.

Thanks as well goes out to Jeanie for doing a stellar job second shooting!

Cheers!

So long for now, Cuba, this one’s a wrap!

Philip and Megan tied the knot at the end of May at the Royal Hideaway Ensenachos near Santa Clara, Cuba. They laughed, they partied, they got hitched. Their family and friends were a blast, and the wedding will be one to remember!

So many photos… it’s always hard to pick just a few to really sum it all up. This will be a little images heavy, but we couldn’t decide which we liked more!

First things first… touring the resort for the engagement session

The wedding day - the dress. Love this angle!

The Bride Megan looking serene

The ceremony on the beach was breathtaking. Simple, yet so gorgeous. I loved all the white cloth as it blew in the wind

The Bride and Groom

Two favs from the reception

And, of course, in Blue-Olive-Does-Cuba style, the trash the dress! Done early in the morning before everyone boarded a plane to go home, this will be one send off to remember!

CONGRATS, CONGRATS! So, next year, same time, same place you two?!  Talk about the perfect anniversary destination. We can’t wait for you to see the rest of the images, and hope life back in Calgary is treating you well. Props as well to Josh for donning the Blue Olive hat and second shooting in the land of sun and surf.

Cheers!
