Loowa + Joey || Part 1

in ,

We don't often get the chance to make engagement films, so when we do it's quiiiite exciting. We get to hang with this awesome couple more then we usually would, get to know so much about them and see them interact with each other. We get to hear their story from BOTH points of view. All of this was definitely a big help for us as we created their engagement film but it was a HUGE help for us as we planned for their Same Day Edit. So much of storytelling is the work you put into pre-production and so we wanted to make sure we knew all about these two before the wedding day. But more on the SDE later... The day we spent filming with Loowa + Joey was the best. This couple is radical. Not just rad, but full on radical. They are hilarious. So easy going. So much fun. I spent most of the shoot laughing at them from afar while Shari + Mike fought with them to make a normal face for a photo. But for us this was gold! Its so rare that a couple can actually be themselves-completely themselves-while trying to act natural in front of 2 (or in this case 4) cameras.

Loowa and Joey- you nailed it. Such a fun shoot. Such a fun film. Check back soon for part two with Loowa + Joey's SDE!

Robyn + Joe

I’ve been going to Canmore Alberta since I was a kid. My great grandparents immigrated to Canmore from Italy back in the 1920’s where they raised my Grandpa and his two brothers in this adorable pink and white house. Growing up I can recall being specifically TOLD (on numerous occasions) to ‘look at the mountains!’ on our drives out. I remember always being distinctly irritated at this command as I didn’t much care for scenery and would rather continue to hear about what shenanigans Harry and Ron were getting into back at Hogwarts. I would feign interest and yell out the occasional ‘wow’, ‘that's so amazing’, ‘cool’, simply to appease the parentals. The mountains were cool I guess, but they were just mountains. Whatever. I don’t know what happened to me. Maybe its because I’m older, maybe its because I’m slowly turning into my mom, or maybe its because I’m a cinematographer now who see’s everything in life in ‘shots’ but OH MY GOSH HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE MOUNTAINS?! Wow! They’re so amazing! They’re so cool! Canmore blew my socks off this time. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen and served as the perfect backdrop for Robyn and Joe's wedding.

Robyn and Joe are from Ontario. They love the outdoors, friends + family, cold beer, and having fun. Those 5 things combined EQUAL Canmore! So it's no surprise that they decided on that beautiful city for their wedding.

The first time we spoke with Robyn and Joe was on skype last year where we instantly realized that they were the most laid back people er-ver. They were clearly in love, clearly excited about getting married but mostly excited to spend the rest of their lives together :) They are 2 seriously wonderful people. The best kind of people. We were so excited to get to know them and be a part of their day. You need to see this.

This was our first wedding working with the amazingly amazing Jarusha Brown Photography. We had a blasty blast working with her and hope to do so a ton more!

It was also our first wedding working with the lovely Callandra of Post Card Weddings + Events and had the greatest time doing so. Thanks so much Callandra for throwing an incredible event!

When we approach our films, we often look for the strongest elements that will serve the story. But sometimes stories are best told by the couple themselves. Corinne + Adam have a beautiful history and we knew it would be the perfect narrative to their film. These two are passionate, artistic, + laid back and that truly showed at their wedding. Every part of this wedding had Corinne + Adam's stamp on it. From a piñata instead of a wedding cake, to a paint-a-portrait station. Also because of their shared passion for music, they had some of the greatest music I've ever heard at a wedding. Corinne and Adam also decided to forgo a traditional dinner + speech portion of the evening and instead, held the most beautiful and unique ceremony I've ever seen. There was no aisle, there was no minister, just friends and family sitting with them, telling stories and sharing memories. It was truly beautiful. Then the couple stood up and shared their own story.

Oh yeah and they hung out with some Alpacas sooooooo you pretty much can't not watch this film!

Claire + David

I feel like I really don’t need to introduce this film at all. Everyone I know has heard about or at least seen an instagram of this wedding. It was something else. The tent alone-can we really call it a tent? Bigger than any ballroom I’ve ever seen! It was an absolutely-amazing-over-the-top-blow-your-mind wedding. But something that most people don’t know is how beautiful Claire and Dave’s story is. Its really easy for the story to get lost sometimes, and a wedding can become more about the guests having a good time than celebrating the couple. At this wedding however, it felt like despite all the (gorgeous and perfect I may add) enormity of the day, we got to see into this incredibly private and beautiful relationship between these two (almost) high school sweethearts.

Take a look! The wedding is gorgeous, but the story is my favorite part :) -Erin
