We can’t always be there for the wedding day, but I LOVE meeting up with couples who are about to be wed, newly wed, or even a long time wed to capture Blue Olive images for the walls! These wedding flavoured portraits are always a favourite for me.

Janice and I had been speaking for months… they would be flying to Vancouver from Hong Kong and they wanted to connect for their portraits while they were here with the only requests being that they wanted a large dash of humour in their images and to avoid all things sappy and romantic.

A dash of humour, a super fun couple, and full reign on where to go and what to shoot? Love it!

As luck would have it, we were even able to summon a rare Vancouver thunderstorm for the last couple of images before the skies opened. Cheers you two!

I love these two, which is good because we get to see a lot of them over the next little while! With an upcoming wedding and after session I am super excited to have them behind our lens a time or two yet ;)

Crazy cute, crazy hot in front of the camera, and oh so much fun. I love the diversity in images from one location to the next, and I just got a peek at their wedding guestbook and it looks even better than they look on screen if that’s even possible. Love it!

See you guys soon! Cheers!

I am such a fan of gorgeous evening light, and this beach session is the perfect example!

Jen & Brett are simply so completely comfortable and natural with eachother that it made them so perfectly easy to photograph. Love the love.

Enjoy!

Katrina & Dan are getting married at the end of the month and we were excited to take their engagement portraits at Kits beach recently! The sailboat had washed up on shore following a large wind storm a week or so before our session and I was ecstatic it was still there – not something we see every day, and a fun background piece for this one.

Looking forward to sharing the wedding in a few weeks!

We do a lot of guestbooks, albums, wall pieces, and other products and I really need to be taking photos of these things to share with you! I love seeing the images in print – the screen can just never compare.

Kayla & Robert’s wedding was a bit of a whirlwind, but we were able to meet up with them a few days before the wedding when we both landed in town to capture the engagement images that would be in their guestbook that week. Designing, printing, and assembling a book like this out of a hotel room on a laptop isn’t anywhere near ideal, but I really wanted to pull this together for them, so we made it happen.

Here are just a few mockups of the pages along with a shot we had of the cover for their book! The blank spaces are intended for guest signatures and messages, and all the images were shot around Edmonton. These books are such a great way to show off the engagement photos on the wedding day, and always get such rave reviews. So much better than a boring book with rows of signatures!
