Well Hello 2015...

2014 was an interesting year. We had our best and busiest wedding year yet, combined with our saddest and most difficult personal year yet. 2014 was a bit of a roller coaster, but all in all we feel stronger for it. The amount of crazy rad couples we were honoured to work with this year was staggering. We met some unreal people and had the chance to tell stories in some beautiful places around the country and continent. We're so excited for 2015 and what it has in store. We're nearly booked up for next year and every single couple is the BOMB! Seriously so rad. AND we get to film in more new locations that we've never been to before. Awesome. The first wedding of 2015 is a little over a week away and we couldn't be more excited. But more on that later...

One of the last weddings of 2014 that we had the chance to film was Ashley + Steve's. Some people say long distance relationships can't work, but Ashley and Steve are living proof that they can AND that they can make a relationship even stronger. Do yourself a solid and watch their film below...

As always, Corinne and the crew of Filosophi put on an amazing event. Whenever we go into a wedding knowing we're working with Corinne we are so at ease and always have the best time!

Well 2015, its ON! We have some really exciting plans, incredible weddings, new opportunities and new projects. It's going to be crazy. It's going to be tough. But it's gonna be GREAT!

Weddings in Vancouver are a tricky thing. When 9 months out of the year are filled with seemingly endless rain, it means that most people try to plan it so their wedding falls during those 3 (potentially) rain-free months of summer. For us that means an insanely busy shoot schedule. This year was no exception to the craziness. So many shoots, double the amount of meetings, and quite a bit of travel time. Thank goodness we love what we do and are able to do it together. The season was awesome and we're now entering the recovery season (aka non-stop editing in the dungeon season). Looking back on this ssummer, one wedding that truly stood out to us was Lindsey and Matt’s. A beautiful couple who love school and their cats and who let us into their lives to tell their story. We hope you enjoy their film.

Priscilla + Michael

Thunder Bay Ontario definitely lived up to its name when we went there last month to film Priscilla and Mikes wedding. The day started out majorly stormy but luckily by the time they had their first look the rain let up and the sky looked amazing! (Always a sucker for interesting clouds!) Since Priscilla and Mike live in Winnipeg, we had only met them on Skype prior to the wedding day. We liked them a lot online and were excited to find that they were the exact same in person- a funny, light hearted and easy going couple who were so much fun to be around.

These two love food and friends. They proved this to us right away when they invited us to join them and their bridal party in a 6 or 7 course brunch in the middle of their wedding day! This made us like them EVEN more ;)

The day went from storm, to clear, back to storm, and finally to overcast for their beautiful outdoor Gammondale Farm wedding. Their ceremony was one of my favourites ever as their personalities came out so much in many different yet subtle ways. These two are the best! A perfect pair so in love and so happy in their life together. Watch their film! :)

Janelle + Dustin

Marriage is a blessing. Its exciting. Its an adventure. But it is also hard work, and it is a choice. Janelle and Dustin are an incredibly fun couple who are beyond in love, but they also know how serious of a commitment marriage is and worked really hard at their relationship pre-marriage. It was really amazing to hear their vows, and watching them together – they have something really special. They also chose a very special location for their wedding – Painted Rock Winery in Penticton - this place has some of the most amazing views I’ve seen! Love and beautiful views. That's its. That's all you need for a successful wedding :)

This film is a must see. So see it!

Techy Stuff:

For all you tech heads out there, this is what the film was shot on...

2 Canon C100s 1 5D mkii All Canon L Series Prime Lenses A couple of select shots with the Sony FS700* Manfrotto Monopods and Tripods Glidecam HD2000 Kessler Crane Pocket Dolly

*We were especially honoured to be able to tell this story because Dustin is a filmmaker himself. We talked with him a bunch and gushed over storytelling, gear, and capturing images. One thing that we were thrilled to learn was that Dustin asked a colleague of his to come and setup a Slo-Mo booth at the wedding. What this also meant was having a FS700 on hand for portions of the wedding day. If you're into this stuff, we are sure you spotted the shots in the film. We decided to choose specific moments that we wanted to slow down with purpose to enhance the story. (Although that camera is a ton of fun and it was tempting to shoot everything in slow motion. Luckily we have our iPhones for that!)
