Adam & Magda – Same Day Edit – A Proper Polish Party
Magda & Adam are two Doctors working in Boston, MA. They both come from Polish descent and decided to get married in Barrie, where Magda’s parents live. We realized very quickly that the Polish community is a very closely knit family.
If you haven’t heard of a Wedding Same Day Edit before, basically, we film and edit a short piece the day of your wedding and have it ready to air at your reception! The experience is incredible – especially when it’s kept a secret!
We had a tonne of fun with this Same Day Edit. Magda & Adam didn’t know when they planned their wedding that pretty much all of Toronto’s major routes would be shut down for the G20 Summit. There were times when the 427 was shut down completely – or when you couldn’t get on to the 400 because a motorcade was coming through.
Once we arrived back at the reception hall though, the party really got started! Their wedding was a unique experience for us in that it was just about 100% Polish. The entire ceremony and speeches were all in Polish. We, unfortunately don’t speak Polish (yet! we’re going to learn though, that’s for sure!)
Trying to figure out when first dances or cake cutting or even when the couple is named Man and Wife is fairly straight forward in English – but man did we have an adventure basically learning a new language tonight!
I would like to thank Magda & Adam for having us along for their wedding day. It was a blast and one that we will remember for sure!

Surprise Same Day Edit – Kylee and Tom
We had the opportunity to surprise Kylee & Tom with a Same Day Edit tonight. Since we’re just getting our feet wet, we’ve been doing these Same Day Edits as an extra bonus for our couples – without letting them know until just before it’s ready to watch!
Kylee and Tom were such an honour to film, its great to be around a couple when you can see how much they cherish one another, you can see in Tom’s face how much he adores Kylee. Kylee and her girls were truly stunning! Thanks to Kylee and Tom and their families for hosting us on their wedding day.
Tonights’ wedding was at Maclaren Art Centre which is where Emily and I had our wedding reception. It was so great to be back in the same room where we had our amazing wedding.

Gavin & Sarah – Surprise Same Day Edit
This past weekend, we were invited to take part in the wedding of Sarah & Gavin Giles. One of our personal goals for 2010 is to start offering Same Day Edits as an option for our couples. Sarah and Gavin thought that we would simply film their wedding and hand them over some raw footage – at least – that was what they asked for. Emily and I saw it as an opportunity to go over and above and ‘wow’ them with a Surprise Same Day Edit.
We had the opportunity to work along side our good friend Taylor Jackson taylorjacksonphoto.com on this wedding which took place at Museum London in London, Ontario.
This actually counts as our first ever wedding Same Day Edit. We showed this clip to Sarah and Gavin in one of the back rooms at their reception hall and they were so surprised and excited. They didn’t know what we were up to and were thrilled once we showed them
One of our favourite parts of the day was shooting at ‘The Bag Lady’ which is a really unique coffee shop/amazing little cafe, owned by one of Sarah’s best friends. The place was filled with colour and you’ll see that in this clip.
We’d love to hear what you thought of this clip.
Thanks so much for watching
Andrew & Emily Sorlie

Awaken Workshops – Wedding & Portrait Photography Workshop
The Awaken Workshop was an amazing experience for all who attended. Emily and I decided to test out our brand new Canon 5D Mark II camera along with the ability to borrow just about any lens we dreamed of since there was 100 photographers in the room! We also had the opportunity to test drive Cinevate‘s Atlas 30 Linear Tracking System. This thing is easily my favourite movie making tool out there. I can’t wait till we can pick one up for Sorlie Arts. The LTS allows you to make these incredibly smooth, dolly-like shots while panning the camera at the same time if you want to. Thanks to Amina and Justin from StillMotion for letting me play with their toys! We created two unique Same Day Edits to show at the end of each day and combined both days into this video…
This two day event saw Dave Biesse, Charlotte Leonard, Rebecca Wood, Taylor Jackson, Bryan Capporicci, Robert Nowell & StillMotion speak to the over 100 attendees on topics ranging from technique to work/life balance. It was a weekend of learning and sharing for all. New friends were made and people left feeling encouraged and excited to grow their businesses. One of the things I took away from the the conference was that we’re all on the same team and we should be doing our best to build each other up. Other photographers aren’t competitors, they are colleagues and ‘If we are booked, our number one job should be to get our friend that particular job’.
Sorlie Arts was a sponsor of the event and gave away $3000 worth of prizes including Two Free Photographer Promo Videos as well as Two $500 gift certificates for Sorlie Arts. We’re very excited to work with some of the photographers who were in attendance on their upcoming promo videos!
