On January 7th Wendy and Michael were married during a beautiful sunset ceremony in the sand at the ocean's edge in the Mayan, Mexico. The day was perfect and we were so excited to be there to capture it all. Wendy and her mom had their hair appointments in the BahiaSpa at the resort and then we headed back to their villa for all the preparations. The ceremony took place about 4:30 as the sun

How lucky we are to have had the opportunity to not only capture Mary and Matt's amazing Disney Wedding, but to also be invited to their second wedding and reception in St. Catharines last weekend. With so many amazing images it was very hard to choose just a few to post here on the blog. On January 11th Mary and Matt were married in the Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney

Capturing Michelle and Mark's wedding day was such fun. These two are just so cute together and their love is obvious in all the little things; their nicknames for each other, the way they look at each other constantly and break into these amazing smiles. Over the past several weeks Michelle has continually written on Face Book about all these little paper cranes she was making for their wedding

We arrived home late last night from our Disney Adventure. What a wonderful family vacation and amazing destination wedding all rolled into 5 fabulous days. Mary, the official WeddingGirl is officially married and we have all the proof! Being there not only to capture every moment of their perfectly perfect wedding, but also there as a guest, made it even more special. With only mere hours

Let me start by saying this is NOT the official post about Wendy and Michael's amazing wedding yesterday in Mexico... seeing as we just got home about 4 hours ago from Cancun and are heading out in 4 hours for Disney to film and photograph Mary and Matt's amazing destination wedding I only have a few minutes to put together this blog post... so here is just one image from Mexico... the rest to

The last day of 2009 is here, it marks the last day of an exciting decade and the birth of a whole bunch of new things at Studio 67. We have had an amazing year and have many people to thank. In no particular order we'd like to give a big Happy New Year hug to: Patrick, Michael, Amina, Konrad, Jessica and Justin at Still Motion - both Brian and I attended amazing and inspiring cinema and photo

In just 13 days Mary and Matt will be married during their magical wedding celebration in Disney World. We are so honoured to be going along to capture all the details of their big day. Mary is a wedding planner and is busy planning many weddings for others, so finding time to get together for her own engagement shoot, with our crazy schedules, was a wee bit difficult. Yesterday we finally

In August 2008 we captured Fatima and Admir's very special Canadian Wedding Celebration; they were legally married almost a year earlier in Bosnia and this was their opportunity to share their marriage celebration with all their family and friends here. A couple of months ago I was super excited to spend a few hours with them to shoot some beautiful belly shots during Fatima's last month of

Well here we are on Christmas Day and what a whirlwind 24 hours it has been. It's tradition for my family to visit my mom's relatives on Christmas Eve. I can't ever remember a Christmas when we didn't get together and I have some pretty funny memories of being smaller than our children are now and spending a few hours visiting around the Christmas tree. Lots of laughs was a guarantee. Every

Meet Yazmeen, an absolute doll! At 3 months her personality is really starting to shine and she babbles and blows bubbles none stop. Her mom had a very special dress on hand, it was sewn over a hundred years ago and has been passed down through the generations to baby Yazmeen. The smocking on it is so beautiful. I also noticed a very old teddybear that had been loved abundantly in his day

Over the past couple of months I have been fortunate to shoot 3 family sessions each weekend and have been focused on editing in order to get the finished images back to each family before the holidays. I've also been designing and ordering holiday cards for families as well as specialty prints and mounts. In doing all of this I just haven't been able to find the time to blog - several people

This afternoon I spent a few hours with Andja and Milan and we headed down to Niagara On The Lake for Part One of their engagement session. (Part Two happens next May - we have split up the session because we're working on a super cool concept film to show at their wedding next September).Milan loves sports, red wine and above those two things on the list is Andja. We decided to incorporate

About 2 weeks ago we decided we'd take the plunge and invest in a new piece of equipment for the studio. Brian has wanted a Steadicam for an entire year but it wasn't something we could swing in the budget during our first full year of weddings. Instead we bought and used a much smaller, less expensive Glide Cam which did it's job but "gliding" just isn't FLYING! So we decided to sell the

I spent a couple of hours with Madeleine and Mark yesterday to shoot some engagement photos and really find out more about them individually and as a couple. This is a very important part of the process of us shooting a couple's wedding although sometimes we don't have that luxury due to the restraints of time and distance. They drove from Niagara on the Lake to meet me at Battlefield Park in

Amanda and Ryan are our July 10, 2010 couple and we're super excited to capture their wedding day next summer. During our initial meeting a few months ago I asked Ryan how he proposed and immediately Amanda's face lit up like a Christmas tree... well, maybe I should say jack-o-lantern. As it turns out their story was one of the most romantic I have heard so far. Ryan took Amanda out for dinner

Michelle and Justin have been together for more than 10 years, but spending a couple of hours with them to shoot their e-fusion session it really felt more like being there on their 3rd date - these two are completely into each other - so comfortable and in love. It was great to capture their undeniable chemistry and passion. When their eyes met I swear I could see sparks and the smiles on

We had so much fun shooting their wedding in September and were super excited to reconnect for their Trash the Dress session. Lucas had a perfect location in mind, the Hermitage, located within the Hamilton Conservation Area in Ancaster. It was quite a hike through the freshly soaked forest to reach it but so worth every step. The beauty of rain drenched leaves could only be matched by the

Just a quick recap of the night! Cali, was a Groovy Girl, finally giving up her 3 year run as a princess; Rylie was still not feeling great after being sick all week, but didn't want to miss out on Trick or Treating so she just did a short stint around the block as a gothic something-or-rather and Taylor went as Bat Girl. Brian is loving the new 7D in low light! Hope you all had a fun, safe

A couple of weeks after Aly and Jay's August wedding we got together to have a little fun during their trash the dress shoot. The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time in the open fields in north Oakville and Mississauga. We ended up back at their place and that's when things between the two of them started to get a little steamy. This TTD is done in a completely different style from

Yay!!!! The big day finally came and it was everything we hoped for. You'd almost think it was us getting married, but no, it was our friends Lindsey and Jeff. We followed these two for the past 12 months, not literally, but we did hang out once every season to build the pieces of their very special Love Story that was shown last night to all their family and friends. It was a tear jerker and

Last Sunday we spent a few hours hanging out with the Walsh Family at Carluke Orchards in Ancaster. We picked some apples went on a wagon ride around the orchard and then headed out on a beautiful hike through Canterbury Hills. The weather was amazing, the perfect fall day! The girls had a blast making piles of leaves and then kicking them all around. The unique thing about Tracy and Adam's

Engagement sessions are such a great way for us to get to know our couples and I was really looking forward to spending some time with Stefanie and Jeff. We didn't really have a specific location in mind for the shoot and most times this seems to work in our favour because we just go with the flow. We started in the ravine area of downtown Oakville; with the leaves in full colour it was

To our family and friends who are always there to support and love us... thank you.

Lily and James are busy planning their 2010 wedding - they are also busy raising their 3 children and working full time! It was great for them to have a couple of hours alone - together!!! We had a great time strolling through a local conservation area and then when I asked them what they really love to do they said they often hit the basketball court with the kids and shoot hoops.

Yesterday we started our day at 7 am capturing the sunrise over Lake Ontario and then drove over 200 kms to capture all the events of Warren and Mindy's wedding day. It made for a long day, but was so worth it! We captured her bridesmaids getting their hair done at two separate salons and all their make up was done by Jo-Anne at the beautiful home of Mindy's parents. Then it was off to

Sofia and Luis were married in a traditional Greek ceremony although Luis is actually from Peru, not Greece. The forecast called for rain and that it did. It poured in fact. The weather did not dampen the spirits of these two, so much in love, so happy to finally be married. Brian, along with the very talented Matthew Craggs shot and edited this highlight reel. The reception was amazing.

Jami secretly changed her name and started publishing under her married name over a year ago - she framed one of her articles and gave that to Lucas as his wedding gift.

When I was asked a few weeks ago by Ravi Singh if Brian and I would be interested in filming a Tabla concert I had to be honest and admit I really didn't know what that was.

I had the pleasure of shooting a family portrait session last night in Waterford. It's safe to say it totally went to the dogs! The session included: 3 sisters, 1 brother, their parents, grandma, aunts and uncles, cousins, kids and of course 3 beautiful dogs. The dogs were very entertaining and even posed on command.

These newlyweds were married in the Mayan Riviera on 7/8/9 and contacted us because they wanted a cool short film and photos of themselves just having fun in the big city. We started out at the docks where we were greeted by a huge sign that read "absolutely no filming or photography allowed" we asked ourselves "is this a sign?"

Over the past year we've hung out with Linds and Jeff every few months as we are working on a very special project for their upcoming wedding. At our last session we also filmed them talking about their wedding invitation and all the reasons that their guests should come to their wedding. We had no idea when the cameras started rolling what to expect, there was no script or pre-shoot discussion

I had the pleasure of meeting Lei and Mu just a week ago today... 3 days later Brian and I headed to Niagara on the Lake for their very small ceremony. Lei and Mu ("moo") are exchange students from China and have been together for ten years. They have lived in several countries apart and are so happy to be here in Canada together. Mu fell in love with Niagara on the Lake the first time she

I met Alyson five years ago when we were sharing an office and both working as medical secretaries for surgeons. At the time Aly had already been with Jay for 5 years and it seemed all her closest friends were getting engaged and planning their weddings. We spent many lunch breaks talking about her perfect ring and her perfect wedding... she waited oh-so patiently until finally in January this

Mara wore her gorgeous wedding gown, not the ugly one she won (those were her words) that we trashed (see post below for their TTD session) but rather, her dream dress, beautiful shoes and a sparkling tiara and veil - she looked absolutely amazing. Mara's dog Sydney also wore a matching dress and veil... soooo cute! Yesterday was the day that her and Curtis had organized and waited for for so

Last fall the phone rang. I answered it to hear a girl's voice with a distinct New York accent on the other end of the line. It was Mara from Queens. Mara had found us online in her search to plan her destination wedding - the destination being Niagara Falls, Canada. Curtis, her fiance, has some family here in the Niagara area and her own family is from Buffalo so it made sense for them to

We have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Lindsey and Jeff over the past year. Together we've captured 4 sessions/4 seasons and now have lots of great footage for their special wedding "surprise" to be shown at their reception. This time we headed to Port Dalhousie for some beach walking, a gorgeous sunset and some cold beer on the patio - all things that scream SUMMER! Now that we're

We had a blast hanging out with Shannon and Bill yesterday. These guys are naturals in front of the camera and after being told just to be themselves and have fun we got some amazing images of exactly that. They are busy planning their June 2010 wedding - we wish them a lifetime of happiness together. Thanks for a great afternoon guys! (we'll post more images on our Facebook group)Shannon +

One year ago today we shot our very first wedding. We want to extend Happy 1st Anniversary wishes to Paula and Ryan, our first couple. We'd also like to thank all the couples who have chosen us to capture their wedding day (those already shot and those upcoming). Here is a short list of interesting facts and tidbits about our first year.1. we started off as Carpenter Creations and then in

On Monday night we got to hang out with Jami and Lucas once again - this completely fun, totally in-love couple has been so great to work with - in fact it doesn't even feel like "work" at all when we get together (of course drinking beers on the patio on a beautiful summer evening isn't really working now, is it? We love our "job" LOL). For those of you who frequent our blog you will probably

On May 1st we had the privilege of attending and capturing Avery's Journey, an annual fundraising event to raise awareness and much needed funds to help fight Retinoblastoma (cancer of the eye). This evening was especially important to us because we've had the pleasure of knowing Miss Avery for 8 years now. She has been a classmate of our daughter Rylie since Junior Kindergarten and we've

I think we're now 6 for 6 - all of our last 6 weddings have included a Same-Day-Edit. This one was especially great - the rain made our initial plans for the photo shoot change dramatically - we ended up going to the Eaton Centre in Downtown Hamilton where the possibilities for cool footage were endless. We finally had the chance to meet and work with Kathy and Rick DeMerchant - what a great

Yesterday we packed the van and headed out for our annual trip to Darien Lake theme park in New York. The kids love the rides and all things that put "amusing" in Amusement Park. We met up with some good friends who were camping there for a couple of days and headed to their camp site for lunch. Here are a few photos from our day.

This week has been especially difficult for me. Yesterday we said goodbye to our beloved cat Jake. I adopted her almost 18 years ago when she was just 6 weeks old and have had her my entire adult life. I simply can't remember life before her, she was my very first pet, I got her when I moved into my first apartment and started University. She's been with me through so many major events - the

We met the girls just after 8 am at the salon and then headed to their hotel and then to the Edgewater in Stoney Creek.

What a whirlwind today - from Oakville to Hamilton to Winona - we were there to capture every moment of Nikki and Dave's big day. After a whole week of rain and thunder storms it was wonderful for them to have a sunny wedding day and although the winds blew like crazy during the ceremony it was still an elegant and simply beautiful setting right at lake side. Nikki surprised Dave by buying new

It's been a very busy week for us on a personal note. We had Cali, our youngest, graduate from SK on Tuesday. She starts Grade One in September - it's so hard to believe she'll be heading off to school EVERY day! On Wednesday, it was Taylor's turn. She will be starting High School in September. We are so proud of both of them for doing so great! They are growing up into strong, smart,

Last week I had the opportunity to begin my little series of Keepsake Moments Photo + Cinema Sessions. Basically, it's a portrait session with a film component. I thought my session with Sophia and Charlotte would be perfect for this; babies are adorable when there is just one, but imagine the joy of having two! I love the natural sounds that babies make, as a mother I know that each age and

Nicole is turning 13 in a couple of weeks and her mom booked a photo session of her and her horse Roxie as a birthday gift. Roxie is quite funny - her spirit and spunk were evident as she got a little saucy on more than one occasion. Nicole is so great with her. You can see how proud she is of how far Roxie has come in just the few short months since she adopted her. I'm sure it won't be

E-Fusioning is our newest passion! Brian and I shot film and photos simultaneously of Wendy and Michael's engagement session in Toronto and we all had a great time.  The hours passed so quickly and Wendy and Michael were both so comfortable in front of the lens; this piece reflects their love for one another.  It's a bit edgy and definitely sexy.  We look so forward to being there to capture

Being they are from out of town they trusted us to choose a couple of different locations for the shoot and Nikki's only request was that we be near water for at least some of the photos.

We had an amazing wedding day with Chris and Stephanie yesterday. These two are so fun, creative and energetic. We fell in love with them last October when we shot their engagement photos and have been waiting for their wedding day ever since. We also had the opportunity to show our first SDE of 2009 - the excitement at the reception can not be compared - people absolutely LOVE the same-day-edit

Brian and I drove home from the workshop in Michigan today with lots to talk about. We met many new friends, some are cinematographers we've known from our online WedFACT community and forums, and meeting them in person was really great. Patrick, Michael and Konrad delivered a full day of awesome information drawing from their own experiences and expertise. The 2 biggest 'messages' to me were

Brian and I were busy packing today as we're heading to Michigan tomorrow to once again learn from some of the industry's very best. StillMotion (aka Patrick, Michael and Konrad) will be presenting their "Art of Wedding Cinema" workshop. I can't wait to learn more about the Mark II as we'll be adding one of these to our collection of "toys" very soon.  Meanwhile, we are equally excited about

Ali and Mauro were married at The Ancaster Old Mill on March 14th and everything about the day was perfect!  We had the opportunity to work with Andrea from Splash Photography. We want to extend a huge thank you to Matthew Craggs, a fellow cinematographer from Welland, who came out to shoot the ceremony with us.  We look forward to working with him many more times this year. We had a fabulous

This was our second session with Jeff & Lindsey! We're working on a really cool Love Story Video to show at their upcoming wedding in October 09.  Each season we get together for a couple of hours and hang out... here is a sneak peak of Pt. II (Winter).  Enjoy!Jeff + Lindsey Pt. II from Studio67 on Vimeo.

Our friend Karen Byker owns Reflections of Life Photography in Beamsville and a few weeks back she asked Brian and I come over and film her in action.  She wanted us to put together a short promo for her website that would show clients a little 'behind the scenes' action, and what to expect, when she's shooting a newborn or baby in her studio.  Her images are stunning... we love the video... we

We've recently had quite a few requests for the link to the video that Brian was involved in creating back in January when he attended the StillMotion Experience "The Evolution from Videographer to Cinematographer".  I thought it was definitely worth re-posting this great demo from that event.  We've remained in touch with the other cinematographers who were also there, their films constantly

We spent another fun afternoon with Jeff and Linds... we tromped through the forest at Beamer Conservation area where L had an overwhelming "need" to make snow angels. There was barely any snow but she did find a spot and had her way. We also ventured through downtown Grimsby and grabbed a hot choc at Coffee Culture.  Brian and I always have fun with when we hang out with these two; thanks guys

We started off our 2009 weddings with Kim and Gian Francis' Valentine Wedding. This day was a long time coming - we booked them last May and I knew from our first meeting that Kim had planned out every detail to make her wedding day absolutely amazing - and it was!  The reception was at the Hamilton Golf and Country Club and was perfect, special thanks go to Lisa and Gordon; the decor and service

Thank you for coming by to check out our new blog!  We are so excited about our new company name and website (studio67.ca).  Brian and I have considered a name change for quite some time and felt that we needed a more professional sounding name that reflected the quality of our work and also wanted the new name to be something easily remembered. We think we've done that with 'Studio 67'. We have
