Jackie + Darrin

Summer is over. How nuts is that?! We've been shooting non stop and it's been so so fun. We feel so blessed to be able to create films for some extraordinary couples all ova this great nation (aka CANADA! duh). However, since our summers are so full of weekend shoots (and strangely a lot of mid week weddings this year), we don't get very much down time. Needless to say we love the Fall season. Like LOVE this season. We LOVE fall. Like if you were to ask us, "Hey Mac and Erin, what's your favorite season?" We'd answer "Uh - FALL!" and yell it a little bit :) We love this season mainly because it means we're one step closer to Christmas, but also because it means we have a little time to relax, its appropriate to start watching movies again (instead of going outside), we can perhaps go on a quick trip, watch You've Got Mail (don't you just love New York in the fall?!) and get back into the editing groove. When we look back on our summer one of the highlights for us was fer shure Jackie and Darrin. The most important part of Jackie and Darrin’s wedding (besides actually getting married obviously) was friends and family. One thing that came up time and time again during our meetings with them was how they wanted to make sure everyone had the time of their lives. And the thing I remember most about their wedding? How much stinkin fun it was. Honestly, Mac's cheeks were sore (and extra rosy) from smiling so much.

Jackie is hilarious, sarcastic and super quick. Darrin is likely the most well spoken groom that has ever been. He is also hilarious. And together this couple was a dream to shoot. They were able to be themselves completely for the entire day and laughed SO much. Nothing better then a bride and groom who genuinely enjoy every part of their wedding day.

A massive thank you to the always amazing Jenna Smith of Revel Events. We LOVE getting to work with her! Always so much fun!

Amelia + Andrew

Amelia and I went to school together for 8 years and graduated (if you can believe it) 9 YEARS ago! Fun facts about Amelia:

-She always always had perfect hair. No friz. No flyaways. Just consistent perfection.

-She played flute in band (and ROCKED it).

-She had a broken treadmill in her bedroom. She still has that treadmill. It’s still broken.

Amelia was one of those people I wish I could have kept in better touch with after high school, so when she contacted us to film her wedding we said “YES!” right away.

Then I met Andrew. This sealed the deal. He was funny, relaxed and smiles all the time. He was also clearly crazy about Amelia, which made me like him extra J

When we met with Andrew and Amelia we quickly got really excited about their wedding. The backdrop was the incredible Furry Creek Golf Club in Squamish - amazing views everywhere you look. We knew we wanted to be able to shoot the surrounding area, which was only really accessible by golf cart. So we tagged along with Andrew as he golfed with some friends in the morning. This also really allowed us to capture Andrew at his most relaxed which is always a huge plus and makes a big difference in the film.

The entire wedding day was full of fun and emotion, and we felt that this was best summed up in Amelia and Andrew’s personal vows. We don't want to give too much away… so maybe you should just check out the film.

-Erin

We always get SO excited when we are fortunate enough to work along side Shari + Mike... the incredible photographer duo. They're the raddest!

Ashley + Raju

When we first met up with Ashley and Raju, we instantly bonded over our love of all things Lord of the Rings. If you know anything about Erin and I, it's that we LOVE Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Like in a preeeetty geeky way (don't judge). We felt like we found our geek soul mates, and indeed we did. (Erin: I would like to add that Ashley watched LOTR 2, what was it Ashley, 10 times in theatres? Ah-MAY-zing!) After that meeting Erin and I began counting down the days to the wedding. We knew it was going to be a blast! Raju and I actually attended the same high school. We were a few years apart so I didn't know him all that well, but whenever we crossed paths he was always extremely fun and kind. Little did I know that years later I'd get to film his wedding and watch him marry the love of his life. When these two are together, they light up. They simply belong together. They're not only in love, but best friends.

ASHLEY! If ever there was a white girl born to have an Indian wedding - it was this girl. She is not only a WEALTH of information on all the traditions, she loves all the food, rocks all of the clothes and knows all the songs (especially if they were ever featured in a Bollywood Musical). Filming Ashely and Raj's day really felt like being with friends. We enjoyed every moment and will likely never experience a more incredible dance party as long as we live.

We were so thrilled to be able to work alongside our pals Shari and Mike who were the genius photographers for the wedding. Can't wait to see more of their photos! Also a huge thank you to Margeux from Filosophi for making the run oh so smooth.

Lindsey + Morgan

Mac and Morgan have been friends forEVER. I’m pretty sure the first time I saw Morgan was in a picture of him and Mac at 2 and 3 years old leaning naked over the side of a bathtub. They go WAY back. Even further than that. Mac and Morgan’s moms were/are BFFS from their high school days! Needless to say, this wedding was quite important to us. When I came into the picture Morgan was solo. (Well, as far as I knew. Linds was living in Toronto at the time.) But I remember when I first met Lindsey. I keep saying to everyone – this girl reminds me SO much of ME at her age! Which looking back now makes me look like I was just stealing compliments for myself. That being said, this chick is AWESOME! ☺ (hehe!) No for real. Super funny. Loves Disneyland (so right away I knew we could be friends). Laughs loud. Doesn’t take herself too seriously and is incredibly smart and motivated.

OK Mac’s turn…

Lindsey and Mo’s story started way back when we were all in high school on a band trip to Disneyland. I remember seeing these two hanging out at almost every waking moment. Morgan is one of the happiest people on the planet, but if you can believe it he was even happier with Lindsey. After they had been dating for a while, Lindsey had to move to Toronto with her family. Not long after she moved, Morgan came by my house to drop something off. I asked him how he was doing and he told me it sucked that a relationship he didn’t want to end, had to. I had never seen Morgan so down. Fortunately, their story has a happy ending.

The wedding day was full of reminiscing about how far Lindsey and Morgan have come and how God had this planned for them all along. As Erin mentioned, I’ve known Morgan since before I can remember. We grew up together and he was like a brother to me. I have so many amazing memories with him and I can’t wait to make more with him and his Mrs. We feel so blessed to know these two and to have been able to create their film. We hope you enjoy it.

PS. We had the BEST time working alongside Kelly Swanson Photography! Also, the always amazing Kim from Wedding Design Studio did an incredible job on the decor and flowers!
