Meg Courtney || Photographer

Meg Courtney aka “The (self proclaimed) Girl in the Teal Pants” – I think this could stick! Lets go with it. This girl is organized, adorable, super sweet, and a really excellent car dancer. She is a photographer from Kelowna who came all the way out to Vancouver to have us shoot her promo - only to have to reschedule a bunch of times due to our famous weather. Rain.

Once we nailed down a dry day, this shoot was an absolute breeze. Meg came to us with an incredibly well thought out plan and vision of what she wanted - so Mac and I got to have some fun making shot lists! It’s very rare that we get to plan out our shots ahead of time! We were quite excited.

The plan for the very last shot was that Meg and her husband Scott were going to run into the ocean. Solid plan. In Kelowna maybe… But here? In early May? On a windy day? It was FREEZING!! I could barely press record on my camera my hands were so cold! But they were committed – even without towels or changes of clothes - they ran out there like troopers. I was very impressed.

Check out this girl’s site – she’s great at what she does and is so much fun to work with!

Mark + Gillian || Save The Date

Gillian is into fashion and music and art. Mark is an engineer. They are the perfect couple. We got to spend a beautiful, sunny evening with this couple at Crescent beach filming a save-the-date for them – cutest idea! And I’m very proud. I would like to take a little credit for this as Maclean and I did a similar film for our wedding invitations - but this one was much more beautiful. We hit it right that evening – the light was perfect! The couple was also really creative. They showed up with a list of things they like to do together to incorporate into their film. Example – they love to go dingy-ing together, so they brought a dingy, blew it up and hopped in the freezing ocean. It was quite entertaining for Mac and I actually.

We had so much fun with Gillian and Mark and are so excited for them! If Gillian has anything to do with this wedding, it will be incredibly beautiful and unique (I follow/love her blog - gillian-nicole.blogspot.ca/). Congratulations to you both!

Lindsay Gee || Photographer

It’s always so fun in the off-season to shoot some different projects - and this time was EXTRA fun. Lindsay Gallagher-Smith, a photographer from Penticton, and quite possibly THE FUNNEST person alive. Meet her for 10 seconds and you’ll know what I mean. Some favorite things about her: 1. She is super funny 2. She has an amazing voice 3. She laughs like a CRAZY person to make the couple she’s shooting feel more comfortable 4. She got bangs for the first time the day before the shoot (I think that’s pretty bold – and they look awesome!)

I really don’t think you can put her personality into words, but you can capture it on film. Watch the video, you’ll see for yourself! -Erin

||TECHY STUFF||

This promo was shot entirely on two 5D mkIIs using the Canon L Series 24mm, 35mm and 50mm, along with the rest of our support/audio gear. We've shot a handful of promos and when Lindsay contacted us about making one for her, we racked our brains to find a different approach for this project. We really wanted to focus on her personality as it is so apparent and infectious when you meet her. You can't help but smile when she says little one liners here and there or giggles. To showcase this we decided to strap a wireless lav on her while we followed her on a photo shoot. We weren't quite sure what we'd capture but we're SO glad we did it because the sound bites that ended up in the promo perfectly display what she's like when you're with her.

Another way we wanted to capture her personality was in a interview setting. We set up a couple cameras and basically just chatted with her for a half an hour. We had a few questions to help get her started but it really turned into a chat about why she does what she does and who she is as a person. She has a very deep side that not everyone gets to see. She's not only extremely passionate about photography, but singing, dancing and many other creative arts. A true artist. We were so happy to be able to capture that in the interview to support the visuals in the piece.

There were also many laughs along the way. We even have a blooper video that we'll be sharing soon :) -Mac

Spring Styled Shoot || Behind The Scenes

A couple weeks ago Jaclyn from 6Pence Planning & Design contacted us and asked us if we wanted to be apart of a styled shoot with her, Jamie Delaine and some other amazing vendors. So obviously we jumped at the chance. We had a blast working with everyone on the shoot and we think you can see that in the piece below. Check it out!
