Blue Six Creative | Wedding, Engagement & Lifestyle Photography

Once again we give you one of our favorite vender's... Blue Six Creative! We asked them a few questions and a bit about what makes them rock.




Blue Six Creative is a collective of photographers who are passionate at what they do and push themselves to photograph people in a different point of view and also come together to support the group and the photographers inside. Each photographer has their own unique style and technique with some overlaps with other photographers. We also have different pricing between our photographers, so we can try and cater to clients with different budgets. We welcome people to view our main website at www.bluesixcreative.com and to check out our blog where you can see our current work (www.bluesixcreative.com/blog) We would appreciate if you follow us on facebook and join our fan page to see special promotions, new work and to simply hang out with us.

1. Why do you love being a Wedding Photographer? Our wedding photographers get a buzz off shooting a wedding for a client and watching how the day unfolds. By being there and the ability to move around freely and shoot as the wedding unfolds allows for us to be "storytellers". Then when the client views the images from the wedding and shows appreciation to our work allows for the loop to close on the event and the process. Engagement photography is very interesting and rewarding also... since it allows us to get closer to the couple and show off their relationship through pictures and emotion. Therefore, by hanging around with a couple and shooting some images of them as a couple and getting to know them through the entire planning process makes us more connected with the couple on their wedding day where we can see all the planning come together as we sit back and watch as an observer trying to focus on the little details and all the interaction of the day.



2. How did you get into the Photography Business? All of our photographers got into the business for just the simple love of taking photos to freeze life and preserve it. Some of our photographers enjoy traveling the world on trips (before they have kids) and enjoy photographing different cultures and some of our photographers are at the point in their lives that family and kids are important and they spend a great amount of time photographing their own personal lives. One of our photographers is a national newspaper photojournalist and he enjoys shooting in a unique and natural way. The great things with shooting weddings is... WEDDINGS ARE A BLAST! They are all different and unique and also different cultures changes it up a bit and makes it exciting with the new traditions we learn along the way. (Who doesn't love to go to weddings?)

3. What has been your favorite Wedding that you have captured? Last fall we received a email from a bride asking us if we would be interested in shooting a "surprise wedding"? Sure... what do you mean surprise? It happened to be that they couple got engaged and didn't tell one sole! Not even a best friend... and not even their parents. What they planned is the groom would email everyone they knew and invite them to an Art Gallery in the Distillery District where everyone would be inside and behind a curtain in a room. Then the couple would casually walk into the gallery and he would then propose to her in the gallery and everyone would come out to have a little celebration with drinks and finger food. So without anybody knowing that they were about to attend a wedding... everyone trickled into the venue before the couple and waited until they were completely "bam-booze-ald" (if that is a word) that a wedding would break out and they were all guests to this unique wedding. It was so cool to be at the venue acting like staff of the venue with our cameras hidden right before the "reveal".

Also, if we had to pick an engagement session that was really neat to capture it would be this one that we just did: http://bluesixcreative.com/blog/julia-kyle-in-love-sneak-peek/



4. Where do you see your company going in the next 5 years? On the same path that we are going. Just building it one client after another and trying to do more for the client than they expect. We also are trying really hard to connect with wedding professionals that we love that bring a certain vibe to a wedding. Many brides come to us for advice since they connect with us early in the process.. so it's nice to help them along and offer advice and past experiences to help them shape their wedding into something unique and memorable.

5. Why do we love you? What makes you special? Photographers in Toronto are hard to find and narrow down. We all have different styles and they way we edit the pictures after. Not to mention we all have different packages that range in price-points. Then once you find one... are they free for your wedding? We have a collective of photographers and if we single one out... we know that their shooting style might not match some people that hit our website and view their images. On the other hand... it works the other way also when that photographer will get singled out by a bride planning and we hear that their stuff is different than the other photographers websites. We love to work with people who love our style. It's a hard question to answer since each of our photographers are different. One of the really cool things is that we work on a team in the collective and we come together to help out the other photographers if they are shooting a challenging event and need some help. We just like how we are together and we help each other.



Thanks alot for answering our questions! We look forward to working along with you again real soon!
