West Coast TTD

March 17th, 2009 @ 3:44 pm by Amina @ Still Motion

Griffen and Curtis had a lot of attention during their Trash the Dress session. At the time, the Cinematography team was holding a workshop in California, and they decided to bring their students to the shoot. It was Patrick, Konrad, Jaime and myself, with students Big Shawn, Little Shawn (sorry Little Shawn), and Jim. Not to mention all the spectators along the way! We started out close to Napa Valley at a vineyard and corresponding castle. What an incredible place! We went deep underground to where the barrels were kept and along the way we found a torture room, musty nooks and crannies, and about a million photo opportunities. It was pretty chilly down there, which was nice since it was scorching hot just outside. According to my estimates, it must have been at least 35 Celsius, 95 Fahrenheit. We took some shots outside and then headed to the coast…where it was freezing! We were wearing fleece sweaters and shivering to bits - especially Patrick and Griffen who went swimming for a few shots. Because we went to 2 vastly different locations, we got an amazing variety of photographs.

Angela + James // Just for Fun

January 9th, 2009 @ 8:27 am by John Edgar @ Still Motion

Before the year came to a close, we had the pleasure of shooting a Trash The Dress with Angela + James. They got married some time ago but decided that they wanted some images with a more contemporary feel. So Amina and I along with Patrick and Konrad went out to Union Station on a Sunday afternoon and had some fun. Union Station is one of my favourite indoor locations to shoot within Toronto as the light is great, and there are so many unique and interesting architectural elements to play off. We've been fortunate enough to have a few couples select this location for their wedding images as we're becoming quite good at working in it. Anyway, here are some of my favourite images from the shoot; Amina wins the award for “One of the best photos EVER” with first one, yikes! So good.

Trashin’ in Times Square

November 27th, 2008 @ 2:51 am by Patrick Moreau @ Still Motion

When Frances first called and said she wanted us to come all the way to NY to do a TTD with her, we were very flattered. When she then said she wanted to go from Coney Island to Times Square, we got sooo excited about the shoot. This is our first TTD where the couple, Frances and James, were married quite some time ago.

At the start they seemed to be a little apprehensive as to exactly what John was going to ask them to do. As the day went on and they started settling into our antics; we kept getting larger and larger crowds wherever we went. From the moment we walked into Times Square, there must have been a good dozen camera shooting us and the couple at all times and much larger crowds formed wherever we stopped.

It was an adventurous day to say the least.
