There are so many things that we learned about Amy and Fil throughout the whole process of producing this short piece. From the first time we began storyboarding ideas until our last shoot during their studio session, we saw more and more of their personalities come out and really allow us to get to know them better. One of the greatest compliments we received after showing this film at the reception was when one of the guests came up to us and said “It was so Amy and Fil”. This is exactly what we aim to do. To tell a story about the couple we are working with and to bring out the essence of who they are as individuals. The amazing part is while weaving the story together we really begin to see the reasons they are a couple and why they vibe so well. So needless to say that hearing those words from one of the guests was music to our ears.

During our studio shoot, Amy pulled off at least 6 amazing impersonations that were so good we knew we had to incorporate them into the film. The interesting part is that there are really good story’s behind a lot of her impersonations. When it came to Fil we knew we had to play on his “serious” sense of humour. He had us in tears while filming and editing took us a bit longer than expected because we kept watching the footage over and over again.

One of the greatest things about shooting an Engagement film is that it allows us to spend more time with our couples and really get to know them before their wedding day. At the same time they get a feel for our shooting style and know what to expect. When Amy and Fil first met up with us last winter we knew that they were looking for something different. Something that would really stand out and be unique. After discussing our ideas regarding an Engagement Film and explaining to them what kind of experience it is to share with family and friends at a reception, they knew that this would be the right touch to add to what turned out to be an already amazing wedding day. Amy and Fil’s Engagement Film was played for the 300 guests in attendance as an introduction to their entrance into the banquet hall.

We had a great time working with you both and a ton of fun producing this for your special day.

All the best!

There’s quite a story behind how baby Lea came into this world. I had the pleasure of spending time with her Aunt Maria several months before the baptism and got to know how much of a great family Lea was born into. After meeting with her face to face and hearing the amazing story behind her birth, I realized that this was so much more than a baptism. Spending time with the family prior to this big event was such an amazing experience. I couldn’t film for more than 5 minutes at a time without being asked to taste test a freshly baked biscotti cookie or to try some of uncle Joe’s homemade sopressata (Italian cold cuts). I was fortunate enough to be there and capture many of the events that went into making this day such a special one. Family travelled from all over the North America to be a part of this event. We would like to thank Lea and all of the family for having us take part in this special day… and for allowing me to taste test all their food.

Father Alex said it best ” You begin today a new chapter in your lives. This chapter begins with the word we, leaving behind the mine and the I”. Its easy to lose sight of the true meaning of a wedding day. Father Alex’s words inspired this piece.

With each new project we take on, we try to focus on more than just tying each individuals character into a great story. We aim to bring out the story behind the “special connection” that allows a relationship to reach the next level. We believe that this is one of the key elements that truly defines a beautiful relationship and in turn a beautiful wedding story.

If we were to give this film a title, we would call it “Smiles” because Monica and Eric were all smiles all day long! Now your probably thinking “It was their wedding day, of course they would be smiling”… true, but there was something about how they smiled at each other that actually made everyone around them smile. We captured Eric’s mother experiencing one of these moments during the wedding ceremony, and watching it brings back the contagious fun and energy that we experienced that day. So with this we present you with Monica and Eric’s trailer!

At this wedding we had the pleasure of working with Anthony Cava from Photolux. We work well with Photolux and look forward to working with them again in the near future.

Check out Joanne and Joe’s trailer below. I’m happy with the outcome.

We started by getting a few members of Fleischers in the studio for a short interview to discuss who they are as a company and what they bring to the table for each photo shoot.

Shortly after the interviews, Kathy called us with a couple of photo shoots for clients getting married that she wanted to use in the commercial. One being a proposal on Rideau Street (Ottawa, Canada) and the other being an engagement shoot just off the Ottawa River. Media Ball attended both shoots to catch Fleischers perform their magic. Both couples were fun, outgoing and we had a fantastic time filming them. Check it out!

All and all it was a great experience and we look forward to shooting our next commercial.
