Carol Oliva started out photographing surfing and radical sports, and you can still feel it in her wedding work: she is comfortable letting real motion and weather into an editorial frame, which keeps the fine art polish from going stiff. Based on the North Shore, she shoots digital and film, and the portfolio has landed in Vogue, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times, publication credits that put her in a small group on the island. She travels often, with a second base of work along the California coast from Big Sur to Monterey. The work suits couples who want refined, magazine-grade imagery with genuine emotion still visible in it, and who are planning the kind of wedding, luxury venue or dramatic elopement, that gives that style something to work with.
