We had a blast with these two in the evening light, and I can’t wait to see a few of these as canvas pieces for the wall.

Cheers to you both!

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!

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!

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

Enjoy!

Looking forward to sharing the wedding in a few weeks!

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!

Nevertheless, here they are! Tomorrow I’ll be sharing Arli & Nick’s wedding, so I thought it fitting to slip these in here today.

I loved that we got to play with their beetle for their shoot – having a vintage VW ourselves we totally love the car, but it also gives something a bit more personal to play with :)

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!

Two down one to go… Kat and Mark’s wedding was our second of three in Cuba!

Also at the Iberostar Varadero, Kat and Mark had the same location as Liz & Brad but that’s where the similarities ended. I love being able to highlight the unique personalities of everyone we photograph. These two and their crew were quite the crowd – so much energy! My favourite shots are definitely the group trashing session in the ocean – HOT!

Kat and Mark’s week started with a group tour to Havana with a few engagement shots captured along the way

And my favourite shots of all – the Trash the Dress session featuring the entire bridal party! Just look at those clouds… WOW

I know you guys are missing Cuba now that you’re back in Toronto, but hopefully this sneak peak takes ya back!

CONGRATS again, we’ll be in touch soon!!
