lately

Bonjourno friends!

We've been a little quiet around these parts lately, but for good reason! We wish to lovingly introduce the newest addition to our family, baby Elsa! Look at that cuteness, at that cuddly squishiness!

So we've obviously been busy bees. Elsa is doing very well, and Rowan is taking to her quite nicely, which is a relief.

BUT. That doesn't mean our wedding season has been put on hold. We have a few weddings booked for the upcoming summer, both in Peterborough and Nova Scotia. Yes, indeed, we're traveling back to the beautiful east coast for not one, not two, but three weddings! It's going to be a handful to juggle, but we still love Halifax, so we're happy to make it work. 

We have a couple new pieces of fancy equipment we're itching to use, and we never stopped doing our research on the latest trends and wicked awesome looks for wedding videos out in the world today. Long story short: we're friggin' excited to get out there again and make some fantasies come true.

Ontario Family: Short Documentary

Production Still taken by Steph for Argus

We hope you're enjoying reading about the project on the go during this off season, because here's another one! There's no trailer for this one unfortunately, but we wanted to share it with you anyway. It's a short documentary film Matt's working on called Willowdale. It's about his father, and all the crazy stories he told him over the years, and particularly, how these stories have changed with each telling, to the point where Matt's not even really sure what's true about them anymore. And also, if it even matters or not if they're true. That's kind of how family histories work, right? Who knows what's true, but it makes a good telling anyway.

So for this project, Matt actually submitted a proposal for financing to Bravo the television channel. They have a great program for funding short films, and Matt and his cousin Michael (who is producing the film and has his own comedy show in the works with Nutjobs) are hoping Bravo takes a liking to the idea and gives them some money to make it. It'll be a great project, using actors to reenact some of the stories his dad told, like the one when Matt's dad and uncle got machetes from their dad as a gift once, and proceeded to a neighbour's house where they chopped up a bunch of furniture in the guy's garage. What crazy stories. We find out in March if we received funding. Cross your fingers! Hopefully you'll be seeing that film on the TV screen in the near future!

Long Winter Days
