Today on the educational YouTube, we tackle our travel gear bag. Since we first posted our Hawaii travel video last year, we’ve received a ton of questions on what cameras we bring and what our setups look like and, seeing as we just recently posted our Portugal film, it seemed like the perfect time to make a video highlighting just that. continue reading
One question we’re always asked is how we get our Canon C100 and C200 footage to look so good. Well, while there’s no secret formula or hack, today on the Youtube, we tackle the best in-camera tools that will help shooters achieve incredible Canon Cinema footage. It all comes down to understanding the limitations of your camera and capturing a balanced image that will grade beautifully in post. See what we mean in the video above.
Lindsay and Matt met 10 years ago at Western — that is if you don’t count the time Lindsay spotted him walking into her 2nd year marketing class looking like a snowboarder dude. It’s a memory-filled location that’s dear to their hearts and one they suggested we revisit for their portrait shoot a few weeks before their wedding. continue reading
This is one of those perfect stories whose themes are so strong that all the pieces just fall into place effortlessly. Grace and Brett met and fell in love at the Taylor Statten camps on Lake Canoe in Algonquin Park and, six years later, they brought their loved ones to this very site for a weekend-long wedding celebration. And while this setting is important to their narrative, it speaks on a grander scale of who they are individually and together.
continue readingTo say that The Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto is a wedding videographer’s dream is an understatement. It’s modern aesthetic relies on a careful balance between minimalist and bold design, accented by striking lines and mirrored surfaces to create its distinctive look. It’s a place that’s dear to our hearts. So, you can imagine our excitement when Staci + Mitch told us their entire wedding day — morning to evening — would be taking place at the Four Seasons. continue reading
Set on an expansive, tree-lined family farm in Ontario, Laya and Charlie’s wedding not only celebrated their marriage but also the relationships and friendships that have shaped and molded these two into the people they are today. The presence of their friends and family is felt through every beat of this narrative as we see their guests’ journey, from their rendezvous under the big tree overlooking the pond, through the woods and across a field to the ceremony space, and over and through the tall grass to the clear-roofed tent where they shared a beautiful reception dinner. continue reading
This. This is a perfect film. Raw. Emotional. Real.
The decorations, the spaces — they all play a minor role within the whole. What truly drives this story is the personality and emotion behind Seija and Dave’s day. It’s overwhelmingly present throughout every frame of this film.
Laughter. Silliness. These are constants throughout the narrative and fair game during any portion of their day — including (but not limited to) Seija jumping back and forth at the end of the aisle during her walkdown. continue reading
There was a lot of excitement behind Aryne and John’s wedding celebration amongst the rows of vines that line Peller Estates. You could feel it in the room that evening. Not only were Aryne and John’s family and friends celebrating their love and marriage, but also John’s return home to Toronto after signing with the Maple Leafs just weeks before the wedding. And while that excitement amounted to one of the most epic parties (and wine cellar after-parties) that we’ve ever filmed, it plays a much more important role in the narrative, where after 7 years of long-distance, John comes home to Aryne and the two are no longer burdened by Skype calls and squeezing in short visits to NYC where they could. continue reading
