Wedding with Style at Cayo Espanto

Posted on October 17, 2011 by Olivera Rusu

I am extremely excited when I hear that my bride and groom have classics outfits: white dress, black toxedo. Even before to see how they’ll look,. I just now will be perfect. And when I saw the red roses… those were the icing on the cake for me.

I’m not a red roses fanatic, but in this combination were from far my favorites.

When I meet my bride & groom 1 day before their wedding, just to see how they are, I knew we’ll have a perfect connection and I’ll also knew that I might have some of my favorites photos all time. And, it happened.

Michelle (my bride) told me that she saw the photos I did to the previous wedding and loved them very much. That was the reason she pick the same cabana and same spot for their ceremony. What she didn’t know is that I’m not doing 2 weddings the same :)))) So, even if is the exact same location, their photos are completely different and I adjust the entire photoshoot after their personality!

Michelle, Joe, was a real honor to shoot your wedding! Thank you!

Enjoy! (if you want to see the photos larger, please go on my main website and under Weddings at… CAYO ESPANTO, you’ll see them.

Vacation Photography: Turneffe Islands, Belize

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Olivera Rusu

This is Vacation Photography by me, A day at Turneffe Islands, Belize – a day can definitely be your day. If you can imagine a perfect day in the perfect place, this is it! You don’t have to search anymore.

Our day start with leaving Cayo Espanto at 10 am. Everyone was ready and eager to go over the barierr reef. As usual, before leaving anywhere, everyone had their favorite drinks to go… A small group and so much fun. I know this day will be remembered by everyone for the rest of their life as was a day who’s making a difference in your life.

The beauty of Turneffe Island was out of the this world. Is the perfect place to have an unforgettable day! The color of the water, the landscape make your dreams become true and even if you don’t know, you have on your bucket list places to visit, this Paradise.

I won’t take from your time too much by making you read, I’ll leave the photos speak for the trip.

I used a polarized filter so the landscape is not photoshoped and the colors are not saturated. Everything is real, as real you can see in the photos :)

Enjoy and share! This can be your day :)

Vacation Photography at Cayo Espanto

Cayo Espanto is a luxury private island in Belize… an island make you dream about the best from life…

I won’t waist your time making you read , but long story-short, Cayo Espanto is a place need to be your Bucket List Places to visit at least once in your lifetime. Is a place that impresses me all the time I’m going with the simplicity & luxury combined perfect.

Anyway, my friends I meet last year at the same resort, came back with their families and we meet at Cayo Espanto… I was so happy!

When I reach, everyone just start lunch… they wanted me to capture the spirit of the day and this is what I did.

In the morning, some of them went fishing and capture a humongous fish so this is what they had for lunch. Fish, fresh tropical fruits and many other belizean traditional food. Was simple food, but in same time I feel it very different. Start from the way was displayed, the fantastic setting, the perfect breeze… everything was perfect. After lunch, kids had some fun around the villas, in the pool, of course and one of a sudden everyone decide to go snorkel at Shark Ray Alley. Doesn’t have any sens to tell you how fantastic Belize waters are… but you’ll see it on the photos.

After snorkel, the island staff wait for us with drinks and wet towels to refresh and everyone went to chill. They forced me to put my camera down and join them for dinner… which was one of the best experiences I ever had.

I will keep most of the photos privates for my clients only, but I’ll display few just to have an idea how can be your day here.

Enjoy!

Girls Trip at Cayo Espanto, Belize

Posted on October 5, 2010 by Olivera Rusu

I meet them at the local airport. 3 girls with cute dresses and the cutest hats. They went to a party where I was the photographer. Small world…

Maya Air airport, San Pedro, Belize

Next day I went to meet them where they stay. Cayo Espanto is an exclusive private island vacation destination located in Belize where paradise and luxury come together as one. And only 3 miles away from San Pedro town.

I found them exactly like this (relax in the pool with their drinks).
