As you’ll hear quite a few times in their wedding film, Katie + Taylor have been together for 15 years — an impressive feat made even more incredible by the fact that these two met and fell in love in grade 9 🥹
continue readingWe’ve said it before and we know we’ll say it again: the most significant piece of advise we can give our couples is to be fully present in and enjoy the wedding day. Truly live it. Take in every moment of the celebration.
It makes all the difference in the final wedding video.
You can feel the energy when a couple is fully invested in their day. The guests’ excitement during the cocktail hour tends to build into incredible reception entrances and wild dance floors. It’s a vibe.
continue readingThere are some wedding films that are almost impossible to describe because the video itself so perfectly encapsulates a couple and their celebration. This is the case for Emma and Mark.
I mean, how do you put into words Emma’s infectious laughter, Mark’s calming presence, how palpable their love is when they are with each other, or how their wedding completely transformed Evergreen Brickworks with one of the most elaborate cocktail and reception layouts we’ve ever seen.

The two would be boating over their entire guest list for a party spanning the whole island — from Alan’s prep in the bunkhouse, to Madi’s in the main cottage, their ceremony on the dock and a tented reception on the tennis courts.

We pause for many reasons: to listen, to reflect, to revere, to be present. We pause for little things — like crossing the street — and big things — like taking time away from our busy schedules to celebrate holidays and special occasions.
