This past weekend, we had the awesome opportunity to be a part of the 29th Genie Awards held in Ottawa, April 4th. The event celebrating the best in Canadian film was held none other than at the Nation's Capital Canada Aviation Museum, which was transformed beautifully to host the main event. Definitely huge props (pun intended!) to the people that put the event together as it was a huge success! The feel you get when you enter the building is that this was larger-than-life. It was amazing to be surrounded by massive aircrafts and to experience the excitement and anticipation as the night went on!
Tulips and Maple was the esteemed caterer for the cocktail event and we were honoured to be chosen to work with them in capturing the evening. Mark, owner and visioneer, along with his staff did an incredible job in staging the food and presentation! Here, the chef and his staff are working hard behind the scene meticulously...
And the food was exquisite!
It was great to be amongst Canadians and to celebrate excellence and achievement in Canadian film. There is a sense of national pride and awareness that we could see as we participated in the event. They were definitely a fun crowd with a great sense of humour and unique style. We've captured some of the gorgeous people that we've had the pleasure of meeting and talking with. Thanks to everyone who worked it out in front of our cameras, you guys are beautiful and we love you!
The awards ceremony was hosted by the hilarious, Dave Foley.
Also presenting the awards was Kristin Booth, who also won Best Supporting Actress (for her film, Young People F***ing). Her coveted dress was custom designed by Rosemarie Umetsu, so that is who I'll be checking out ladies! :)
Our last shot of the night... (another self portrait as we tried to not drop the camera, as shown by the concern on my face!)
Congratulations to all the winners and nominees! Thank you for sharing your work with us. Special thanks to Mark and his team at Tulips and Maple for being super fabulous! We wish you all the success and look forward to working with you at the next event.
Much love,
Sam and Mary
