Tegan + Dan | White Rock Wedding Highlights

This past weekend I was lucky enough to film Tegan and Dan Klenner's wedding. Tegan and I have known each other since we learned to walk and talk. I went to church with her when we were toddlers and we went through kindergarden to grade 12 together. Needless to say, we go way back. Dan entered Tegan's life a couple of years ago and they fell deeply in love pretty quickly. They both have a passion for music, art, Value Village and the Church, which makes them pretty much made for each other. I was so excited when I found out they were engaged that I jumped at the chance to film their wedding. I reached out to them and lucky for me they loved the idea.
This wedding was truly one of a kind. The vintage inspired theme was spread throughout the entire day with lots of feathers and beach cruisers (check out Tegan and her friend's awesome vintage apparel and accessory company here). Tegan walked barefoot down the aisle for the backyard ceremony accompanied by music from Dan's former band mates of Hey Ocean. So awesome! I've never been to a wedding with such amazing live music. Dan is an incredibly talented musician and has tons of friends in the Vancouver music scene (Hey Ocean, Said the Whale, We are the City, etc.)
Below is their highlight film. I hope you enjoy it.
Also a little side note… Laurell and Trevor's Wedding Film was featured on the cover of Style Me Pretty Wedding Blog yesterday. Check it out here and leave some comments!

Wedding Season is almost here!

So first off... The Oscars were on last night. Did you watch it? It's a long running tradition for my family to get together and fill out our ballots of what films we think will win. Unfortunately I didn't get the most right but I did predict best picture and best director. If you haven't seen The Hurt Locker yet you should asap!

Secondly I've been going none stop lately! I've taken on a handful of off season none wedding related projects and I haven't had much time to rest. I think I'm juggling about 6 projects but I'm really enjoying all of them. The wedding season is fast approaching and I couldn't be more excited! Especially because I get to kick off the season with a wedding in Texas! So fun! Below is a quick iPhone snapshot of the camera's POV while shooting an interview for one of my projects.

Christmas

So I'm looking at my calendar and it's only 3 days until 2010... 3 DAYS!?! Where did the time go? I trust you had a wonderful Christmas season. Mine was full of fellowship with friends and family and some amazing memories. I pretty much become a 10 year old around Christmas time. I inform everyone I come in contact with how many days are left until Christmas, I insist on watching every Christmas movie there is, and I love going downtown to see Christmas lights and do some shopping. I'm always a little down when the season is over, but I'm so excited for the new year. 2010 holds a lot of exciting stuff for Hello Tomorrow. Below is a glimpse of my Christmas with the family. I received a new lens for Christmas so I snapped a quick couple of photos. I'll be posting a new montage soon with my new lens for the Canon 7D. currently jamming to... The New Year - Death Cab For Cutie

PS If you haven't already seen Jason Reitman's new movie "Up In The Air" go see it!
