This was so fun to do! Here is a video I produced for a wonderful couple on their wedding day. Stephanie and Justin were a pleasure to work with, and I’m so happy with the end result (and so were they!). I shot and edited the entire project with my ever reliable Canon 7D.

I shot this wedding video this past summer, and it turned out so beautifully. The weather was perfect and the couple was so gracious, it really was an awesome day to be a part of. The music in the video is an original piece composed and performed by the groom, and the video was shot with my ever handy Canon 7D and edited by myself.
This past week, my friend and I went to The Red River Exhibition, here in Winnipeg. I haven’t been there in a few years, so it was fun to walk around, take some pictures, eat mini donuts, drink beer and listen to a Gun’s and Roses cover band.
Bren has been apprenticing with a local beekeeper, and has been getting some real hands-on beekeeping skills. I took my camera out and shot some very casual video of Bren doing his thing. It’s so peaceful, and calming being out there. It was a beautiful evening, and the footage turned out great.
This summer I purchased an “Opteka SteadyVid SV-HD Camera Stabilizer” http://amzn.com/B00DRGQETA I decided to try it out when we went raspberry picking at the Mayfair Farms, and I like the end result. The stabilizer can be a bit tricky when you first set it up, but once you get it balanced it works well, and you can get some nice smooth shots.

This past August I spent the day with Dan and Stacey, shooting video for their wedding day. I told them I would simply observe and shoot footage as I travelled around with them. No direction from Dan or Stacey, just their trust that I would create something special for them. Everything turned out better than I imagined, and I’m really happy with the end result.
Winter in Winnipeg. Driving through my neighbourhood on a snowy afternoon.

My good friends contributed their song to these tracking shots, and it fits so well. It was an early Wednesday morning when I shot this. Winnipeg was waking up to beautiful day.
