Carlos Bolívar — BoliMemories photographer

The photographer

I'm Carlos.
I love what I do.

15+ years behind the camera. A background in photojournalism. A genuine belief that the best photo is the one you didn't know was being taken.

I love what I do…

Close to 15 years doing photography, and I'm still as excited by a great shot as I was on day one. My background is in photojournalistic photography — which means I'm always looking for the candid moment, the one that actually happened, not the one someone posed for.

I don't believe in stiff. I believe in real. Whether it's a wedding for 300 people or a maternity session in a Toronto park, my job is the same: stay out of the way until the moment arrives, then catch it.

I believe in love…

I am a romantic — or at least that's what my beautiful wife tells me. I just try to observe. I look for the story between people: the way someone looks at their partner when they think no one is watching, the chaos of kids climbing all over their parents, the quiet before the ceremony.

I want to give you something you'll still look at in 20 years. Not just a photo — a memory you can hold. That's why I do this.

Three times, clients have trusted me enough to bring me along on their wedding day — wherever in the world that was. I've photographed destination weddings and I'm ready to do it again.

If you're planning something outside of Toronto — anywhere across North America or South America — let's talk. The camera travels well.

Carlos Bolivar was simply a delight to have as our photographer on our wedding day. He made us feel very comfortable and trusted his direction which ended up with some really beautiful shots. One of the shots he took of my shoes was even featured on the Christian Louboutin Instagram which generated over 70k likes.
