International destination wedding photographer in Spain Edward Olive

The principal difference with this offer of photographic services lies in the fact that the photographer is an award winning art photographer and not a standard local wedding, press, advertising, fashion or corporate photographer.

Edward Olive accepts art photography commissions relating to corporate and social events, weddings, magazine reportages, corporate brochure & image makeovers, portrait sessions and advertising.
His photographic and artistic aims combine photojournalistic principles, fine art, personal style and classical portraiture techniques, mixing reality with fantasy… a magical alchemy designed to produce unique images that transmit emotions and sensations through balances of light and shade, colors from another world and age, capturing moments without that split second photographic capture would be lost forever.

This is the added value. The eye of the artist.

Premios Gràffica 2010

“The work of Edward is an important evolution in social reportage photography. To see weddings from a cinematic point of view, to try to transmit the different atmospheres and their attributes, as well as the characters of those attending is a declaration of intentions.
To see where no-one sees, to observe what the rest of us don’t see or to see it in a different way.”

Note: as Edward Olive takes all of his pictures personally and does not send assistants alone to shoots this has meant that there are practically no dates now available for 2011 and we anticipate dates still available for 2012 booking up shortly. It is therefore strongly advisable to contact us ASAP if you are getting married in 2012 to make sure you get your date before it goes.

Shooting a wedding photography reportage with the aim simply of producing millions of photos is meaningless.
A wedding photographer has to understand and truly feel the people, the day, the events… live every moment as if it was his own wedding day… to connect intuitively to the people, the souls open with emotions to capture the wedding couple, the family, friends, guests as they are - the true wedding.
The job of wedding photographer is one of great responsibility and importance. My job is to capture one of the most important days of your life, perhaps the only day you manage to get all your friends, family and most dear all together under one roof. The melting pot of emotions is unique and the wedding photos must capture that unique feeling when emotions run at their highest. The child crying under the table, the embrace of the groom with his best friend who has just flown in from Australia, the bride’s makeup running down her face, the grandfather who nods off because he has had one to many to drink. It’s a great day, it’s a great opportunity to take some really great photos, true photojournalism with true emotions.
