We are the Olguins
I’m usually the one behind the camera, but this business has always been a bit of a team effort. Cass, my wife of 17 years, isn’t out shooting weddings with me, but she’s the steady hand behind the scenes. She helps keep things grounded, balanced, and running (especially when life gets busy, which it often does).

Together, we’ve been building a life filled with work we love, three amazing kids—Grace, Isaac, and Judah, and a very spoiled groodle named Archie. Our house is loud, joyful, a little chaotic… and deeply loved-in. That pace of real life, messy, beautiful, and always moving, is probably why I’m drawn to the kind of photography that feels honest. Maybe that’s why I don’t go for the perfectly staged stuff. Real moments feel more like home to me.


“WE’RE NOT USED TO BEING PHOTOGRAPHED”
– 98% OF MY COUPLES
My Approach
I don’t photograph weddings like a checklist. I photograph them like a story unfolding in real time. I’m drawn to the stuff that can’t be scripted. The nervous hand squeeze during vows. That sideways glance at your dad during speeches. Your grandmother pretending not to cry (but definitely crying). Those are the moments that stay with you. I’m not there to run the show or shout directions. I’ll guide when it makes sense, but it’s low-key, always intentional, and never about making you perform.
And when it comes to portraits, that’s usually when couples let out a breath they didn’t know they were holding. It’s calmer than people expect. You’ll probably forget we’re even “doing photos” until you get them back and realise, oh yeah… that’s us. At the end of the day, it’s about presence over perfection. Let the moments be real, and the photos will take care of themselves.
