It’s our first Jewish wedding film and we had so much fun! The weather was uncooperative all day. Just when we would venture outside to enjoy some of the sunshine, it would turn into a torrential downpour! The ceremony was planned to be outdoors, but was moved inside to the Ivor Petrak room. In a magical moment, during their vows, Ezekiel noticed something out the window and motioned for Chantal to have a look. An incredible rainbow had appeared stretching out over the Bow Valley between Tunnel Mountain and Mount Rundle.

Earlier in the day I asked Chantal what she was looking forward to the most at the wedding and she said it was the dancing. When I asked if they were good dancers she said, “We’re ok”. That was an understatement! You have to see their moves near the end of the film!

I had a lot of connections with Chantal and her family that brought out “what a small world!” on many occasions. We want to thank Chantal & Ezekiel for sharing their incredible day with us and for their kindness and generosity.

Behind all the glamour and glitz of their wedding, lay a truly beautiful and authentic story. Amber and Aaron were married at Sacred Heart Church and had their reception at the historic Fairmont Palliser in downtown Calgary. The evening was themed around Cirque Du Soleil theme and featured incredible performances by fire-breathers, contortionists, magicians, and an incredible band! You truly have to see it to believe it! We also had the pleasure of working by our friend Johnny of JT Images. Check out for some of the photos from the event! Wedding Planning & Design was done by Mary & Debbie over at Lavish – Wedding Planning & Design. Their crew did such a spectacular job!

When it comes to their wedding day, we have a head start on capturing their story and incorporating their personalities into their film. Michelle and Mark are both very emotional people — Michelle still tears up every time she re-tells the story of how Mark proposed. Michelle & Mark were married at the Fairmont Hotel MacDonald in Edmonton. We arrived early to make sure we had time to find a good location to film the dress, only to find that Michelle had found the perfect spot already. Michelle & Mark are a couple that are totally in love and are surrounded by so many good people. Below you will find their Love Story and their Same-Day-Edit.

We had an amazing time on Saturday filming Trisha & Jeremy getting married. Their wedding was hosted at the beautiful Fairmont Hotel MacDonald. Trisha is a huge fan of the boy band (remember the 90′s?) Hanson, and all of the reception tables were names after Hanson songs. We had the opportunity to work alongside Kenneth and Elaine from Just Married Photography and we’re really excited to see their images. They are a seriously-talented couple! The day had so many beautiful details, and we wish Trisha & Jeremy all the best! Keep an eye out for the highlights film coming soon!

Many of our couples have booked us so long in advance, and there is a tremendous amount of build up to the wedding. With the wedding of Shanley + Tam this has been the case more then ever. Over the past year we have been very excited to work with Shanley and Tam, as we have gotten to know these two we have learned a lot about them. They are both very successful in both their personal and professional lives and have been very kind and gracious to us.

In addition to having worked with such a great couple, the vendors they chose were some of the absolute best. All of the wedding planning was done alongside Renée and Judy from getwed Event Designs. Renée is one of our favorite planners to work with, she is very organized and on top of every last detail! In additon to working with Renée, we also got to work alongside the guys from JT images. We always have a blast working alongside each other and really apreciate the work these guys do!

You may notice that this was a same-day edit (SDE). SDE’s require a lot of work and preparation, but always prove their worth when we get to watch the reaction from the Bride and Groom! Tam + Shanley had a packed day full of tea ceremonies, church ceremonies, and a exciting reception. We can’t wait to show you the rest!

I don’t think we’ve ever travelled to so many weddings in one month!

Last weekend we had the pleasure of filming a Same-Day edit for Stephanie and Gabor. Although it was a tight schedule, we were still able to pull it off and have time to enjoy some of the amazing food at their reception (this doesn’t always happen!) Stephanie came up to us after we showed the film to let us know how amazing it is to be able to re-live the day and to realize what you’ve accomplished.

You may notice at the beginning of the film there are a few shots from Stephanie’s dress fitting. This was a first for us and it was really exciting to be able to capture that part of their story.

We’ve shot all over the province, but never once have we shot in Red Deer (Alberta’s 3rd largest city)! This came to an end last weekend when we had the pleasure of filming Micaela & Jeremy’s wedding.

Micaela & Jeremy began there relationship from almost 800 kms away (Jeremy lives in North Saskatchewan)! We had an awesome time getting to know these two and meeting all of their friends and family. Check out their SDE!

It was cold enough that you can see their breath when we’re outside! Regardless of the cold, they had a beautiful wedding at the Wedding Pavilion in Calgary and you have to see Neil’s face when he sees Megan for the first time!

But now we can say we did. Alex and Michelle had a picturesque wedding in Edmonton’s River Valley overlooking the downtown skyline with a reception following at a rustic log cabin nearby. We also had a chance to shoot some photos of Alex and his groomsmen on the roof of a skyscraper and in the new Art Gallery of Alberta. Cool locations! We actually shot both photos and cinema for this wedding and had a blast. The video will be coming along shortly!

UPDATE
Check out the highlights film!

Tuxedos, black bow ties, Quantum of Solace Pins, a casino tables at the reception, and a true 007 entrance. We had an awesome time filming this wedding and experiencing something so unique.
