New website is up & a couple of things!

  • 0 comments/
  • May 3, 2016

As you may have noticed by now our new website is up and running. We love how it looks and hope you do as well. Please let us know what you think and if you run into any issues/errors please let us know so we can fix them.

We’re keeping busy and have a very full next few years. Looks like we’ll be doing some travelling, we wont let any secrets slip until details are finalized but we are very very excited.

One big issue we’ve noticed with the new website is that some of our previous blog posts are now blank. I’ll try and fix this over the coming months but I’m not sure how successful I’ll be.

If you haven’t had the chance please check out our latest teasers on our facebook page or instagram account.

Expect a real blog post/update hopefully soon. Jasmin is the real writer in our partnership and she is has been so busy recently. What would I do without her?!

So long space cowboy!

Jenna & Dennis’s rural wedding in the Northern prairies of Kinosota, Manitoba, Canada

Summer Recap – A Month in Winnipeg was the Perfect Amount of Time Back Home

  • 0 comments/
  • October 8, 2015

It’s hard to believe that the summer has already come and gone, although the weather doesn’t help much when you live in a tropical paradise and “every day is summer”. Obviously, this statement isn’t quite the truth, as temperatures do still fluctuate even in warmer, South of Canada climates. The fluctuations are obviously not so extreme, and there’s still no need to have entirely different wardrobes for the changing seasons, no mittens and scarves and parkas either. But, there is still definitely cooler temperatures here in the winter months (December-March). This is unlike the summer heat that has us melting while trying to conserve our electric bill with minimal air conditioning usage, plus an inability to cool the office and kitchen space on the opposite side of the condo as the split air conditioning units are located in the two bedrooms, but I digress. At night, temperatures can still dip down to 16c with a high of only 26c at the peak of the day in January, which is fairly different than July & August where it’s more like a low of 28c at night and a high of 38c during the day. There’s still variation in those temperatures, my friends. Just not -40c winter extremes to feels like +40c with the humidex summer extremes. I was born and raised in Winnipeg, and have spent a total of 6 years of my life (at two very different times in my life) in Montreal. So, when I tell you I know nearly everything there is to know about extreme temperature variations in one set place, I truly mean it. *Please note: this blog post will be sprinkled with teaser photos from our August weddings (Svetlana & Dmytro at Azul Fives Resort and Jenna & Dennis in Kinosota, Manitoba) to help navigate your eyes away from text at times*

This long-winded, silly rant-like one-sided conversation I just had is a conversation that came up several times throughout our month long living arrangements in Winnipeg, Manitoba this summer. We were fortunate enough to travel home to photograph a wedding in rural Manitoba, and since we have our belongings, and essentially still, our lives in Winnipeg, it seemed only fitting to jump on the opportunity to spend as much time visiting with friends and family as we possibly could. There were ups, there were downs, and overall, the month back home went by far faster than I thought it would, or even could for that matter. I really thought 4+ weeks would be long enough that time would actually have a chance to stand still for a bit. But no, it just went as fast as ever. What we anticipated to be infinite time spent with those near and dear to our hearts, wound up (as always) becoming mere hours penciled in on a handmade paper calendar of events for the month. This was truly the only way to properly track our whereabouts, hangouts, and the like. We could communicate via this vital piece of paper when we would be separate and thus discuss access to borrowed vehicles, where we had opportunities to double date or visit friends jointly, and making sure we wrote a list of people to contact and connect with, in hopes of trying to squeeze in as many familiar faces as humanly possible.

 

[justified_image_grid ids=4472,4473,4475,4474]

 

And it was exhausting. Rewarding too, but very exhausting. We had some much needed R+R time sporadically throughout the trip, with road trips to my family farm, Matt’s family’s cottage, and the rural wedding we were hired to shoot in the first place (making this whole trip entirely possible). Actually, the drive to and from Kinosota, Manitoba was spectacular. It’s easy to forget the simple pleasures in life sometimes, especially when you’re away from them for an extended period of time. Who knew I would miss driving a vehicle as much as I did? And who knew just how much we missed road trips with flat open prairie fields for kilometers, and those prairie sky clouds and endless horizon, and that unforgiving, relentless urge to be in the process of drinking a Tim Hortons coffee the entire road trip? We couldn’t have asked for a nicer and more exciting reward to photographing a stunning and beautiful Manitoba wedding than to have a month with friends we’ve missed dearly, family we’ve missed more, and common places and reinvented spaces that we had a chance to explore?

 

[justified_image_grid ids=4476,4477,4478,4479]

 

In a nutshell, we ate plenty of delicious food, engaged in lovely conversations with all of our favourite people in the world (and those we missed, we obviously regret!). We took some “me” time together, but separate, at Jellyfish Float Spa for a 90 minute relaxation float (our first time and boy was it fun for me!). I treated my parents to a night’s dining experience at Chew, which is certainly a delicious place to grab food. We had a few outings with my brother, Justin and his partner Christine, with everyone enjoying Ethiopian food for the first time at Massawa Restaurant. And more importantly, enjoying a true tapas evening out with the two of them at Enoteca, which had mushrooms that were on another level, and have certainly ruined mushrooms for me in everyday day-to-day living. We were treated to a Chinese food feast at North Garden Restaurant in the city’s South end of town.  We brunched over sandwiches at The Yellow Deli, owned and operated by Common Sense in St Boniface. We took ourselves to brunch on some of the best burritos either of us have ever consumed (seriously, every time, they are the best) at Burrito Del Rio in the heart of the city’s eccentric hangout known as Osborne Village. We treated ourselves to a fancy lunch at Fusion Grill, despite the unfortunate torrential downpour happening all over the city as we paid our bill and were ready to head out. We had a laid back breakfast with Matt’s parents at Perkins Family Restaurant, while I made a second visit there for coffee and breakfast with a previous Winnipeg Humane Society co-worker friend of mine, Judy. We were fortunate to make two stops in at Peasant Cookery twice while home, once for their infamous Buck-a-Shuck oyster night (seriously, $1 per oyster all night?!) as well as to try their entry for Le Burger Week taking place in cities across Canada the first week of September. There were others that we did not even get a chance to check out, as we were often too busy with plans for delicious dinners at other peoples’ places, or just out and about grabbing small things here and there.

And that was our month long stay back home! Lots of visits and lots of food. And it was glorious. As always, it’s great to be getting back into a routine and normal life down South, but I’m already starting to feel my heart strings being twanged just a wee bit to come back again, and soon. In the meantime, it’s back to photo editing and updating the site, while organizing business-related things and the new place that we moved to back at the beginning of July. And now, for the last of our teaser photos, and keep your eyes out for these weddings, and others, going up on the site in the months to come!

Coco Beach Eco-Market Playa Del Carmen

  • 0 comments/
  • March 6, 2015

I feel like all I ever end up doing is blogging about how fast the time flies by, and that I am likely sounding repetitive. But, on the token, it’s so TRUE. The time seriously zooms by. I honestly can’t believe it’s already March. And already a week into this month.

We have kept ourselves exceptionally busy since the start of 2015, taking on a new and exciting side project with perogy making. And that seems to be going quite well, and has blossomed quite nicely. We were fortunate enough to be approached by a German lady living here in Playa del Carmen, Anja, to try selling our product at one of the local Eco Markets in town. And, having already made tried, tested and true customers with a wonderful ex-pat couple, Vicky & Scot, who live in the complex where the market is held Friday mornings, made it that much more inviting. We had entertained the idea of selling at one of the markets for awhile now, but had quite a few hurdles to leap before we were properly prepared. There was a dire need for a portable table, a travelling cooler that is reliable, business cards, sticker labels for the bags, and then the hassle of getting a cab to our place in the morning, as well as home. But, somehow we made it all happen! Having only been invited a week ago by Anja, we realized it was time we just purchased what we needed and get our name, and our product, out there. We also have some pretty stellar neighbours who offered a last minute lift to the market, which saved the hassle of bringing one into our gated community at 8am.

It was great fun to meet people that have heard rave reviews of our perogies, without even having tried them. And, a lot of those people definitely left with perogies in hand and smiles on their faces. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and completely worthwhile. And more importantly, we’re very excited to say that we will be back next Friday morning too!

2014 is a year of change and growth for the two of us and part of that is starting to be more healthy in the physical activities we’re a part of and the food we eat. Jasmin & I have been spending a lot of time at the gym, most days we end up at the downtown YMCA both on our lunch breaks, and again after work. We are both feeling great and this is just the beginning. In addition to the gym we are eating better, trying out new recipes and really enjoying our time in the kitchen. We’ve started having so much fun that we wanted to share in the good times so we started a blog with photos and the recipes we’re trying out.

If you love having a blast in the kitchen and eating great food, check out our new blog Chop, Stock & Two Extra Servings

In the eternal words of Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod. Keep fit and have fun!

2013 Coming to a Close

  • December 5, 2013

In what feels like the blink of an eye, it is suddenly December. The snow has fallen on Montreal, and this time, it’s not just a light dusting that will melt away, it is here to stay. Which also means the Holidays are upon us, and some quality time spent with loved ones, be it friends, family, pets, you name it, now is the time to hold those you love that much closer, and really appreciate having spent another year together, no matter the distance.

Kara & Vince

Speaking of December visits, we will be making the mini trek to visit Kara and Vince Hill in their lovely home in Gatineau, Quebec. The drive will be a relaxing way to spend our Saturday morning, considering the fact that we will be engaging in some major birthday celebrations Friday December 6th for Matt’s birthday. Plus, escapes from city life are always appreciated and welcome. We look forward to photographing the married couple, celebrating their upcoming anniversary in January. It should be a weekend of good food, wine, and company!

December also brought with it a post from blogger Bijou Bride, covering the lovely Moon and Andrew wedding of August 31st, 2013. We were ecstatic when Alexandra contacted us to feature the wedding on her blog back in November, and are that much more excited to see it posted earlier this week, which happens to coincide with the 3 month celebration of Moon and Andrew’s marriage.
