I hope everyone in town is getting out to enjoy some of the Olympic fun! We just got back from lunch at the Swiss House and ran into one of our upcoming brides (hello!!), so that was a nice touch to our dutiful yet tasty line-up-for-food adventure. More than the official crowd stuff, I’m loving all the excuses to hang out with friends while watching the medal events. Tonight we’re having a few people over to watch the snowboarding halfpipe competition – in the comfort of our place, where beer *doesn’t* cost $9 ;) The only challenge currently is that we have to keep moving the TV downstairs for when we’re working in the office so we can keep an eye on the action!

OK – we’re into October weddings now. Shari joined Reilly for Jenny & Anthony’s wedding, and we’re excited to have her on board for most of our weddings in the coming year. It’s going to be such a great year! Jenny & Anthony were married at Cecil Green and following their photo session Victoria Chinese Restaurant held the reception. I know I sound like a broken record sometimes, but what a fun wedding! Just look at the smiles and joy in these photos – our job is so easy when everyone is just having such an amazing time. And really, Jenny is about as cute as you can get, the photos are just a reflection of that. I’m working on their album now and it’s so hard to narrow down the images – I want to use them all!

More to come tomorrow! Enjoy the sunshine!

I always give a lot of credit to couples who are able to pull together all the wedding details remotely – in this case, Daphne & John travelled to Vancouver from their home in Virginia for their wedding.

Cecil Green was the reception venue of choice, and between the venue and their great team of wedding vendors, it’s no surprise that they were able to pull everything off without a hitch! They were treated to a truly gorgeous day with so many loving family and friends who joined them to celebrate. As we are designing the album now I can’t help but smile and laugh right along with everyone – cheers to you guys!

Lots of vendor shout outs here – Tamara joined Reilly for the Blue Olive Team, The Finer Details was responsible for coordination, A Unique Boutique did the flowers and rentals, Hot Wax took care of the music, and True Confections made the delicious cake.

I adore happy emails and notes, and this one is right at the top of the list -

“Hey Guys,

We love, love, LOVE the pics! They are all so fabulous, the whole day was captured perfectly. There aren’t enough words to describe just how fantastic the pictures are. Thanks again for the fabulous photos! You guys rock!

Abby & Nick”

Abby is one of the happiest people I know, and her excitement leading up to her wedding to Nicholas was just contagious. Van Dusen Botanical Gardens and Cecil Green set the stage for their day.

Cheers to you both!

The summer started out with a bang for Avni & Joe’s whirlwind 3 day wedding! Cecil Green, Coyote Creek, and even the Vancouver Public Library all played host to parts of their celebration. And of course, all the  beautiful colour! With so many different events it’s hard to choose what to share. Here are a few highlights –

A huge shout out to the lovely Erin from Fuego Events for the gorgeous flowers & décor and pulling everything together, and to our good friends Kathy & Steph from Marliss Productions for being a blast to work with as always. This wedding also marked our 2009 welcome to Tamara who joined Reilly for our July – September weddings.

Cheers!

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!

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!
