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 hear so many love stories – stories of how people met, how they got engaged, and so on. And I’ve never heard a story quite like this one.

Felicia & Nina are novelists, and their story is nothing short of a fairy tale.

Their relationship started in separate cities with a letter. A handwritten, pen to paper letter. One came back. Another sent. And so on…

They’d met in a prior lifetime, but for months it was only through pen and paper that they spoke… they became a couple on paper, and they traveled to Vancouver to be wed on the one year anniversary of finally – finally – seeing eachother in person.

They chose the Roedde House museum as it was the home to Vancouver’s first bookbinder, and a perfect setting for this day. We joined them for a few photos before they went on their way, and I wish they lived closer as I know we’d be great friends.

Cheers to you both! Thank you for sharing your day with us. We can’t wait to share your album with you :)

We’re going to try something new, with a few portrait round up posts! We’re shooting a tonne of portrait sessions these days and there’s just no way to get them all up on the blog, so we’re going to pull a few here and there and get them into larger posts.

So, here goes! We’ve been meeting so many awesome kids lately, and these little guys and gals are just the tip of the iceberg. Always so much personality in tiny little packages ;)

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!
