Monica & Gideon’s Quilchena Golf & Country Club Wedding

posted in: Wedding Photography by: wedding photographers Reilly & Miranda

 

Monica and Gideon travelled from their current home in Hong Kong back to Vancouver (where Monica grew up) for their November wedding. Their wedding was a beautiful mix of family and tradition coupled with lots of time for Reilly and Shari to work their magic around town! Despite the pouring rain and cold temps, Monica, Gideon, and the bridesmaids and groomsmen along to support them had a blast checking out all of the urban rain-free spots we could find, in true Blue Olive style. Once again I’m left trying to figure out just which images to narrow it down to for the upcoming additions to our website and portfolios – I love having that problem!

Cheers, you guys!

Nelson & Jana’s Seasons Restaurant Wedding

posted in: Wedding Photography by: wedding photographers Reilly & Miranda

 

Weddings are always extra special for us when we know the people getting married, and in this case it was our friend Nelson who was tying the knot!

The wedding just days before Christmas turned into a much more winter themed event than ever thought possible for Vancouver with the blizzards rolling in the night before. With 4 wheel drive engaged and even a backup photographer figured out and on call in the chance we got stuck or snarled up in a fender bender on the way (all very likely given the crazy weather and the trip to south Richmond for the getting ready!), we were off.

Walking in to Jana’s home my eyes definitely lit up when I saw what she was wearing – no white winter number for her. Instead, Jana rocked the sassiest little hot pink dress compliments of Betsey Johnson that I’ve ever seen!

The day was a beautifully intimate affair with close friends and family safely tucked inside the warmth of Seasons restaurant while the snow blew outside. We captured just a few images with the snow for posterity, and stuck to the fireplace for warmth after that.

We recently headed out for an after session to rock all after sessions with these two so more will definitely be coming of that, but for now, here are a few of our absolute favorite wedding day shots!

And now – that is *officially* a wrap for our 2008 weddings. We can’t wait to start posting our 2009 events!

Candace & Ed’s Orpheum + Marine Drive Golf Club Wedding

posted in: Wedding Photography by: wedding photographers Reilly & Miranda

 

One of our last weddings of the year, we looked forward to this date for a long time!

And how could we not – an absolute dream team of vendors headed up by the fabulous Tanya Peters at Milestone Events included Tracey as our third shooter for the day, Kathy and Steph from Marliss Productions on video, and Deliciously Yours for the cake to name just a few. Tanya did an incredible job on decor and coordination in particular, which was an absolute treat :)

The ceremony – wow. Candace & Ed chose The Orpheum Theatre to tie the knot and… wow. Tracey definitely got the shot of the day with her position on the upper floors – simply stunning. Even in photos it’s hard to really communicate just how perfect this venue was.

Despite the cold December date we had a wedding party full of troopers and we were able to get some outdoor photos as well before heading off to the winter themed reception at the Marine Drive Golf Club.

I had a hard time trying to narrow down what to show, I could have filled this post with so many different things. I opted for a bit of a peak at everything from the ceremony to the photo session to the decor. Enjoy!

Marten & Michelle

posted in: Wedding Photography by: Miranda - Vancouver Wedding Photographer

 

What a way to end the year!

Marten & Michelle’s Hotel Vancouver New Year’s Eve wedding was the perfect end to a fantastic year. Way to pull it off!

These two are jetsetting their way off to their new home in Dubai, so it was in many ways as much of a wedding as it was a going away party. Clearly, they won’t be forgotten!

We are always honoured when fellow photographers hire us to photograph them, and this was no exception. We were sure to capture the evidence that Marten really can’t let go of the camera though – we’ve got shots of him shooting Michelle as well as his camera in a prime, head table position ;)

Here are some of my favs

The Bridal Party – all 17 of them!

Wedding Party at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver

One of my favourite parts about winter is that it’s dark by 4:30, meaning lots of great night shots! Here are 3 from our quick session under the bridge. As they are moving away, we wanted to get photos of the Vancouver skyline.

Rob & Anna

Who needs time to plan a wedding when you can just whip something together in just a few months?

Guys – you pulled it off seamlessly!

I ADORED the personal touches with the handmade felt boutonnieres and the 1000 paper cranes which extended to the ring bearer “pillow” and the flower girl baskets. Everything was just so uniquely you.

Here are a few of my favourite highlights!
