Catherine + Abe || Stop Thinking Like Me

On July 23rd, Catherine and Abe tied the knot. The conditions couldn't have been better for their wedding day. The sun was out, not too hot, not too cold but just perfect. The wedding day was full of laughter and joy and you could really see it on everyone's faces. Catherine and Abe's loved ones were all so happy to see these two get married and it was definitely one big celebration. The ceremony and reception were held at the amazing Vancouver Convention Centre. This was our 3rd time shooting there this year and it never get's old. Such a beautiful view of the north shore.

We had such a fun time shooting this wedding. Check out the highlights film below!

Also we had the pleasure of working with Jana Vackova Photography again. We always have so much fun with Jana and Lisa.

A big thanks to Lina Dang of The Flower Girl Event Planning for helping the day run smoothly and making sure we always knew what was happening. Lina's the best. So rad.

||TECHY NOTE||

Since we've shot there before and have plenty of footage of the view, we wanted to try something new and get a shot of the VCC from the north shore (which we open the film with). So a few days later Erin and I headed out to Vancouver to do a little pick up shooting. Sometimes what you want to shoot and the craziness of a wedding day schedule don't line up, so pickup shooting is a great way to get the shots you want and to really add something special to the film.

Summer?

First off… this blog hasn't been updated in a while. I feel bad. Forgive me? The reason is we've been quite busy lately (poor excuse) as the summer wedding season has kicked off. We've been having a blast so far but it's definitely our busiest season yet. We have some awesome wedding highlight films that we can't wait to post and also some other special projects… you'll see soon, I promise. It's crazy to me that it's almost august. Especially since the summer weather has barely been showing it's face lately. It really doesn't feel like summer at all to me. Erin and I have been escaping to Cultus lake as often as we can and the weather has been so dreary! Oh well. I've got a feeling it's gonna pick up and we're gonna have 100 days of sun.

Over the next month we'll be doing a lot of travelling, so many updates will be from the road. If you'd like, you can follow me on twitter or our official twitter account. I've been on Erin's case lately to get on this twitter train and she's starting to think about it… maybe you guys can help me out by leaving some comments telling her to get on it.

In the next couple days we'll be posting a highlights film from a couple weeks ago. It's really great and we can't wait to share. Anywho… I'm starting to ramble.

Oh Cultus... how I love thee.

PS if you haven't listened to Bon Iver's new album... well... you should.

WRCA GRADUATION || THE CLASS OF 2011

I'm a proud lifer of WRCA. It's an incredible school. For the past 5 years I've been making films of the graduation banquet and this year we decided to make a little highlights. It's been a lot of fun to go back year after year and see how the school is growing and to see people I remember from my high school days graduate. It's a reminder how fast time goes by. Take a look at the highlights below.

elaine + patrick || what if I cry?

This past weekend we had the pleasure of filming the wedding of Elaine and Patrick. Without a doubt these two are perfect for each other. Throughout the day they were laughing and giggling with each other. They wouldn't stop smiling and I'm pretty sure there cheeks became super sore after a while. The day started off wet and dreary. The rain was poring so hard and it didn't look promising for the rest of the day. Elaine wasn't phased a bit. She had hopes that the weather would turn and sure enough it did. The ceremony was held at the incredible Holy Rosary Cathedral downtown. The place was packed with friends and family excited to see these two exchange vows. An absolutely beautiful ceremony. The reception was held at the Kirin Seafood restaurant in Richmond. Dinner was full of laughs and loads of seafood. Seriously I've never seen so much seafood in my life.

Check out their highlights below :)
