The Wedding Co. Show is this Weekend – New Magazine + Honey & Dear Booth – What more could you ask for?

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 Posted inWhat's New

This is sort of an update for everyone out there. We’re very excited to be exhibiting again at the Wedding Co. Show this weekend (January 13th, 14th & 15th) at The Carlu. There are well over 100 of Toronto’s finest wedding companies all getting together for three days of awesomeness. The Wedding Co. Site has been down due to the immense traffic it has been getting – but if you haven’t picked up your tickets now – they will be available at the door. If you’d like a bit more information about the show – click here to see the temporary facebook page they have put up while the website is being fixed.

One of the exciting things about this show is the launch of the first ever Wedding Co. Magazine.  We were asked by the Wedding Co. to create a series of teaser videos as well as this video below to promote the magazine. Have a look and see what you think:

In other news, we have found our intern for 2012! We are very excited to introduce Katie Bailey to everyone. Katie will be working with us and helping to assist us at weddings. We’re excited to have her and she’ll be at the Wedding Co. Show with us on Saturday and Sunday.  Emily and Andrew won’t be at the show on Sunday as we are travelling to Charleston, S.C. for the amazing [in]Focus event. This will be our second time taking part in the cinematography education and inspiration conference and we can’t wait to see everyone and learn some new things.

Make sure you come visit us at the show!

Christina & Krist – Beautiful Christmas Wedding in Northern Ontario – Same Day Edit

Friday, January 6, 2012 Posted inWedding Films

Christina & Krist got married on December 17th in a tiny little snow dusted church.  It was the perfect setting for their wedding. Christina was hoping for as much winter as she could get because the forecast was calling for a green Christmas.  She was excited when there was a bit of snow on the ground the morning of her wedding. Here is the Same Day Edit wedding film that we showed the night of their wedding at the reception venue.

We loved spending the day with Christina and Krist. I had never been to the Mariposa Market before – but we went there for some photos with our good friend Luca Ragogna who did the photos that day.

Thanks so much for having us guys! We had an amazing time with you!

We can not thank you enough for the amazing work that you had done for Krist and Christina’s wedding video!
I have to admit, I was a tad frightened at the cost but was sold when Krist first advised me to view your blog as I cried during everyone of your videos! We are soooo happy that we had you!
Thank you for also allowing us share the, Same Day Edit. I am pretty sure it has gone viral! I know I can’t stop watching it and also can’t stop crying every time! Krist and Christina’s wedding was such a magical day and Andrew and Emily, you certainly helped by capturing all the beauty.
It was our pleasure to have met both of you and we couldn’t have been happier that you and your team contributed to our baby boy and his wife’s, perfect day!! Thank you again and we applaud you, Angela (Krist’s Mom)
PS… I also have a friend in the film industry and I will be suggesting he check out your work!!

Sam & Jesse – Jewish Wedding Highlight Film – Royal Conservatory of Music – Toronto Wedding Cinema

Thursday, December 8, 2011 Posted inWedding Films

Sam & Jesse got married on November 19, 2011 in a beautiful Jewish wedding ceremony at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Ontario.  Surrounded by a few hundred of their closest friends – with the partying half on one floor and the other half on the lower floor – they spent the night mostly dancing.  Jesse is involved in the electronic music industry and he was very excited about the music at this wedding.  4Korners – the official DJs of the Toronto Raptors got the dancing going right after a pop-up traditional ceremony including a portable Chuppah being supported by the groomsmen. Jesse had DJ Krafty Kuts fly in from England to take over the second half of the DJ duties. Needless to say – the music was pure awesomeness all night long.

Here’s the Highlight film we put together for Sam & Jesse:

We had an amazing time filming Sam & Jesse’s Wedding at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Ontario.  The location was beautiful. The weather was just right. This was our second time spending the day with Zach and Rudo from Mango Studios. We really like how those guys work – and their photography is stunning.

This is a quick screen grab we liked! Sam is one stunning bride!

I’d also like to thank Andrew Rose and his colleagues from Westbury National Show Systems. These guys are top notch. They are the in-house sound company for the Royal Conservatory of Music and I have to say they were so friendly and accommodating to work with. Thanks so much you guys!

The music in this wedding highlight film is Inglend Part 3 by the band Last Lungs and is licensed through the website TheMusicBed.com

Michael & Marian – Same Day Edit Wedding Film – Toronto Ontario Wedding, Coptic Christian Wedding, Thompson Hotel Wedding

Monday, November 14, 2011 Posted inWedding Films

What an incredible wedding for two incredible people. Michael & Marian got married in one of the coolest all-around weddings I think we’ll ever be a part of. We actually couldn’t manage to fit in a quarter of the amazing things Michael and Marian had planned for their wedding – other wise their Same Day Edit would have been oh about 20 minutes!

Michael Daoud, owner of Pink Elephant Marketing invited us to his office about a year ago to meet along with his new fiancee Marian. When Marian started to talk about her family and how important they were to her and all of the planning that had already taken place for her wedding – we knew we were in for a treat. We spent 4 or 5 days with Michael and Marian over the past year getting to know them and being with them for some pretty special moments including her final dress fitting at Pearl Bridal House as well as Michael’s final Tuxedo fitting at John Ferrigamo in Yorkville. We loved spending time with their family interviewing them and gathering stories for a special engagement film we put together which will be online shortly.

We loved how Michael and Marian both grew up in the same Coptic Church and had their traditional orthodox ceremony in the same church. After the ceremony (where no kissing is allowed) – we went to the Thompson Hotel (which is quickly becoming one of our favourite places for some more shots. I would like to personally say that the very last shot in this edit from the rooftop of the Thompson may in fact be my favourite ever Honey & Dear shot. I’ll let you be the judge of that! There was a lot more to this wedding – but why don’t you just watch the Same Day Edit.

The music in this Same Day Edit is the song ‘Crazy’ by the band Stars Go Dim and was licensed through the website TheMusicBed.com

This wedding had so many awesome people involved who helped bring it all together. We loved spending the day with Sarah Cherry who helped keep the elaborate party on schedule!  We also had a great time hanging out with Matt from Xero Digital. The live band they had blew our socks off – Tyler Yarema & His Rhythm.

Thank you so much Michael & Marian for having us – we can’t wait to see all of your photos from Thailand!

Paige & Mike – Destination Wedding Film – Ocean Blue & Sands – Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Thursday, October 27, 2011 Posted inWedding Films

Paige & Mike got married with 30 of their closest friends and family in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic at the five star Ocean Blue & Sand Resort. We were honoured to join them for their destination wedding. We first met Paige & Mike at Paige’s sister Whitney’s wedding (that we filmed back in June of this year).  Paige and her mom Dianna asked us if we would come to the DR and after taking about four seconds to pretend to think about it – we started making plans!

We arrived at the resort after a quick flight on WestJet from Toronto to Punta Cana on Tuesday, the day before the wedding.  We met up with everyone for an amazing Mexican meal.  We weren’t on the island more than 4 hours before we were formally introduced to Mama Juana.  Basically, Mama Juana is a mixture of bark and herbs left to soak in rum, red wine and honey. The solid ingredients (local leaves, sticks and roots) vary from region to region but are said to be medicinal.  It is consumed in ‘shot’ format and there is a fun little dance that you’re supposed to do. James initiated the first of several Mama Juanas.  Long story short – this group likes to have a good time and we felt welcomed as a part of their family instantly!

Well – the next day was the wedding day. We got off to an early start to catch the sunrise.  Well – enough talking – have a look at the highlight film we put together for Paige & Mike:

The music in this piece is ‘Let Love Be’ by Chelsea Lankes. licensed through www.themusicbed.com

We don’t offer photography – but we do use Canon 5D Mark II cameras which is certainly a professional stills camera.  Paige and Mike asked us if we would take a few photos for them and Emily was excited about the challenge.  While it was fun – and we did get a few nice shots – we are going to stick to what we know;)  For fun though – here’s a few of what Emily came up with:

And here’s a few more from a little later on in the day:

Thank you so much to the entire Davies/Leeder & Pridding families and all of the friends who came for not only having us along for the wedding but for taking us in and truly making us feel like part of the group!

We always love your comments on the blog below!

Thank you Andrew and Emily, felt like I was there again, but with a different soundtrack. What a wonderful teaser of a video. We were very happy to have you both there as well.
