ö I remember getting a phone call in early January this year from Soruban with regards to having me covering his wedding that was happening in Scarborough, a short and very quick 5 months later. We spoke briefly once and we both got hit by the case of well – being way too busy! A month or two passed by and we exchanged another phone call or two, a few more emails and finally but surely – Soruban had booked us! A huge credit goes out to Drew Haran for kindly referring me in good faith to Soruban & Tarini!

ö Soruban and Tarini lived in Edmonton but Tarini had grown up in Scarborough up until she was about 16 years old. After which she moved to Edmonton where she’s lived since and grew up right next to Soruban, which is where their relationship began and sparked!
ö I distinctly remember telling Soruban and Tarini that if there’s one thing I loved doing – it was being fun and different and creating something outrageous with my work. Call me cliche but we whipped out one heck of a Portrait {film} that I’m really proud of! Sor is in the I.T field and Tani worked in the medical field (she’s on her way to becoming a doctor in fact!) They both worked crazy hours so finding the right time to make their Portrait {film} happen was vital. A few weeks later I flew down to Edmonton and met up with Soruban + Tarini the day before our shoot to discuss everything and nail out all of our ideas and concerns.

ö The next two days we were in for a whirlwind of surprises with shooting a bit of their Portrait {film} inside of West Edmonton Mall {nuts right?!!}, inside of a car posed as a taxi cab, at a park, on a two-seater bicycle and on foot! A LOT of running was involved. A lot of participation was involved. I put both of them through the paces to make this work and they certainly gave it a %110 all the way through!
ö The idea was simple for their film – they were running late…literally! They figured if they posed as if they were running late to their actual wedding and if we filmed it as if they were running all over Edmonton to Scarborough in their Portrait {film} – it would only make sense and make for an epic entrance to their wedding reception, right?! Filming this certainly put me to the test with my inner athlete! Running all over the place, driving all over the place, shooting in hot weather and doing some crazy but super fun stuff!

ö That being said I would like to take the time to thank Drew for referring me to Soruban and Tarini! Secondly, I would really like to thank Soruban and Tarini for having me out to Edmonton! Edmonton – you were so good to me! I never imagined that my job would allow to me to travel to so much but you two put complete confidence in my vision and my craft and in letting me bring your idea to life! Thank you for being super patient and understanding throughout the entire process! Don’t forget – stay tuned for their Next Day Edit from their wedding to hit the blog real soon folks!
