stillmotion

one week indianapolis, the next las vegas.  it was an interesting couple of weeks for one who is fearful of flying, and only just the beginning of what’s in store for stillmotion this year.

three things made shannon + jay’s wedding extra neat for us:

1. shannon and jay  (it’s impossible for them not to smile, which then made us smile, which then made them smile more, and on and on)

2. jordan (jay’s daugther, and lover of all things pink)

3. a break mid day to sit down together and enjoy a delicious lunch at the local cafe (see below)

full post soon. :)

for those who weren’t at gail + joel’s reception,
from vimeo, friends of the bride and groom presented a surprise music video during the wedding. there was actually supposed to be all 6 groomsmen in the video, but 1 could not make it. this was shot in four hours on a friday night at Jean Vanier, Joel’s (the groom) high school.  directed by raymond mendoza.

thank you gail + joel + bridal party for being so awesome.

in response to michael’s recent e-mail which started with “you guys are barely updating the blog, slackers… HAHA!”, i thought it would be appropriate to post a handful of their images on the blog.  except, with a little twist.  a little mystery.  more soon, michael + cypril. :)

first imaging usa, then the wedding co. show, now in[focus], and in the near future, the announcement of a couple of top secret projects we’ve been feverishly working on, has meant our blogging has become a little sporadic.

however, now that a number of these events have passed, and our projects are nearing completion, we can get back to our regular scheduled blogging!

first up, minh + jarrod’s portrait session.

we’re really honoured to have our image as the campaign image for the wedding co. show this year.

it’s one of our favourite images from jonah and du’s wedding, and is of them walking together, holding hands, in the little park that separates le germain (where they dressed) from le select bistro (where they wed).

in addition to the image being used in a number of magazines, it is also on the front of every show ticket.

speaking of which, stillmotion is going to be at this year’s wedding show.  we’re really excited to share what we have been cooking up over the past few months.  :)

the show runs from jan 15th – 17th @ the carlu.  all the details can be found on the wedding co’s website.

the wedding co. was also kind enough to supply us with a couple of extra tickets to the show, so we thought we’d have a little contest to give them away.

leave a comment in this post or send an e-mail to justin@stillmotion.ca about what you’re most excited for at the 2010 wedding show, and on monday morning, we’ll have a draw to select the winning response.

see you next week at the show!

caroline + joe had mentioned that they absolutely loved what i did with amina + patrick on the mountain in st. lucia.

they wanted to see each other before the ceremony, and they wanted that moment to be as meaningful as possible.

on the morning of the wedding, while the girls were getting ready in caroline + joe’s new condo, the discussion came up as to where c + j were going to see each other for the first time.  we had brainstormed a couple of ideas before the day, but nothing felt perfect.  that is, until it hit me while i was standing in their living room.  why not in their first home together as husband and wife?  why not in their living room with freshly painted walls?   in the living room where they will spend so many hours together in the future.  i immediately called joe on his cell phone, and asked him re-route the limo to meet us at their home.  he did, and it made for such an unbelievably amazing experience for caroline + joe, and for us.

now the art on c + j’s living room walls will be of the moment when they first saw each other on their wedding day in that same living room.
