Deep Cove E-Session {Andrew & Ashley}

Paul — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 22:00:01 +0000

Deep Cove is a beautiful place to visit so naturally we were excited when Andrew and Ashley chose to have their engagement photos taken there. It was an overcast evening but with few people about and no sign of rain we enjoyed a couple of fun hours with the boats and seagulls.

Andrew and Ashley have since tied the knot on the Sunshine Coast so watch out for those pictures… coming soon!

St. Monica Parish Wedding {Kenny & Leah}

Paul — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 00:08:30 +0000

Wow, what a busy summer we’re having here at Blü Studio! So busy in fact, we’ve fallen a long way behind with our blog posts! We are still here and will be updating the blog quite frequently over the coming weeks with weddings and engagement shoots since May. Yes, it’s been that long!

So, we’ll kick things off with Kenny & Leah’s wedding day photos from May 15th! We started the day in Richmond at the Westin Wall Centre hotel for some getting ready shots of the girls. From there it was off to the church, St. Monica Parish, to meet Kenny and shoot the ceremony! After the family shots, when the ceremony had ended, we took the wedding party to Granville Island before heading to the Renaissance Hotel in Vancouver for the reception!

It was a long day but a lot of fun. The weather was great and the wedding party were a real blast to work with! Here are a few of the pics…

We met with Ryan and Natalie last month in Stanley Park for their engagement session. It was a gorgeous evening and there were lots of great opportunities for photos. The wedding is coming up quite soon so stay tuned for that too!

Westin Bayshore Wedding {Paul & Jennifer}

Paul — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 02:48:01 +0000

Well, it didn’t seem like 5 minutes since we shot Paul and Jennifer’s engagement shoot in Deep Cove last September, but suddenly their big day had arrived and what a special one it was. The entire event was held at the Westin Bayshore in downtown Vancouver. The couple held the ceremony in the Marine Room before an intimate reception in one of the luxurious suites upstairs.

The weather held out for us although it was a little cold for the shots outside after the ceremony. Still, Paul and Jennifer were great sports and we ended up with some really beautiful photos…

Steveston E-Session {Iain & Kaireen}

Paul — Mon, 10 May 2010 20:19:14 +0000

On the day of this engagement shoot the weather was great… until the session began that is

As we captured the first few frames the wind picked up, the temperature dropped and the rain fell. Despite all those setbacks we still had a great time with Iain and Kaireen and managed to come up with some really awesome shots. I almost feel like a bit of rain on the wedding day might not be such a bad thing for this couple…

Yaletown E-Session {Ryan & Lexa}

Paul — Mon, 10 May 2010 19:58:25 +0000

We met with Ryan & Lexa in Yaletown for their engagement session earlier this month. The weather was great and the area offered lots of nooks and crannies for a really great shoot. Ryan and Lexa settled in very quickly and were modelling like old pros before we knew it. That always makes our job easier!

Here are a few photos from a recent engagement session with Kenny & Leah in Deep Cove. We had an enormous amount of fun working with the couple and we are very much looking forward to the wedding which is coming up this weekend! So stay tuned for more Kenny & Leah pictures…

Update: Wedding Day Photos

Fleetwood Christian Reformed Church {Anton & Ali}

Paul — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 22:28:06 +0000

Finally, we have a chance to catch up on some of our wedding posts! Anton & Ali were married earlier this year at the Fleetwood Christian Reformed Church in Surrey. Before that, we met with Ali at her parent’s home for some getting ready shots and then we all went to White Rock where Anton was waiting for some family and group shots. The weather had been poor leading up to the wedding day but when we needed a break it came and the whole day was fabulous.

After the ceremony we headed to Eaglequest Coyote Creek for the reception. It was beautifully decorated inside and the lighting was nice and moody with just enough for the photography. Everyone had a wonderful time and it was a pleasure to work with Anton, Ali and all their friends & family!

Torchinator Blazes Through Stanley Park

Paul — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:04:19 +0000

When I first heard Arnold Schwarzenegger would be running a leg of the Olympic Torch Relay I thought it was some kind of a joke. However, upon further investigation I discovered that the claims were legitimate and I thought “This, I have to go and see!”

Arnold’s leg began at the statue of Harry Jerome and ended at Brockton Point Lighthouse where he handed off to two time Olympic gold medalist Sebastian Coe. Arnold was scheduled to run at 7am so Elora and I arrived with Josh at about 5:15am! It was a long, cold wait but worth it in the end. The Torchinator arrived on time with a full entourage and the crowd when nuts! I have never seen anything like it. I managed to be forceful and surged forward with passion to try and get a good shot. Amazing stuff! I think I might switch to the paparazzi from now on

With Arnold was the Premier Gordon Campbell. I didn’t even notice him really until we got to the lighthouse. A morning I will never forget and by far the moment of the Olympics… and it hasn’t even begun!

Olympic Fever Hits Lynn Valley

Paul — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:54:15 +0000

Well, a dicky bird told me that the Olympic Torch was coming to town! I figured it might be a cool thing to check out, so, off I went to Lynn Valley Centre to join in with the fun. It wasn’t until I arrived there that I realized just what a big deal this whole Olympic thing actually is! I thought there might be a few folks come out to cheer on the flame but there were literally thousands of people lining the streets and even more in the Lynn Valley Centre parking lot. A huge stage had been erected and BC Premier Gordon Campbell was there to join in with the festivities! Surely this must be the biggest event ever to be staged in Lynn Valley?

I haven’t been looking forward to the Olympics. It seemed like a lot of fuss and even more headaches for the locals trying to go about their daily lives. Let’s just say though, the excitement is starting to creep in…
