I was on location with SR Auto Group at the Sutton Place Hotel where they hosted the Opening Night of Vancouver Fashion Week 2011! Here are a few grabs from last night! Oh yeah and Kid Carson of TheBeat 94.5 hosted it!
So last Wednesday, my co worker Lloyd Choi and I were contracted to go shoot a video for the Nanaimo Port Authority. Essentially they are building a new cruiseship terminal and we are doing a piece on that! Anyways, it was a great trip, got to fly on a sea plane for the first time and got to go on a private boat! Thanks to Paul Marr from Cossette for hooking this all up!
Kimberly Butterworth
How do I know Kim?
She’s one of my hockey teammates’ wife! (Darren Butterworth….)
When did I meet Kim?
First met her when Darren dragged her out to one of our hockey games. I think it was 2-3 years ago..whenever I had that Ugly Sweater Xmas party at my mom’s place! That’s when Alisa got to meet her!
What does Kim do?
She’s a real estate agent! Talk to her if you want to buy!

A gorgeous March wedding! Rain, shine, rain, shine… the weather was rather unpredictable this time of year. But fortunately, it was nothing but shine!
For those of you who are curious, Marianna comes from a wonderful Greek family. It was really sweet to see her father tear up when he first saw his Marianna in her wedding dress =) She was absolutely gorgeous!
Marcin, the famous Polish bartender from the Roxy was at all times surrounded by his ‘boys.’ Just from hearing what other people had to say and just by being around him, you can get that sense of sincerity in him and you’ll just know he will be the perfect match for Marianna.
Thanks to Lori Miles from Sweet Pea Photography and her assistant Wynona for doing such an amazing job! Made our job 10x easier as you guys had the perfect poses for the bridal party!
Congrats Mar & Mar!

Cindy + Barb, of Serendipity Planners approached me a couple months ago regarding this highly stylized photoshoot that they had in mind. At first I thought it was going to be simple… and then they informed me that they teamed up with Evan from Flowerz. Then I got a little bit worried with myself as I’ve never really done anything to this extent! Anyways, I did some digging around to learn about lighting as much as possible and ended up with an extremely sexy Profoto D1 1000 Air light kit. It was EXPENSIVE. But looking at the results, I’m quite proud of what it did and with a little more experience I can’t wait to see what I can get out of them!
I had a ton of fun shooting with Cindy and Barb! They both have a great sense of humor, they were both extremely, extremely organized, and I think they did a tremendous job modeling. It made my job much easier!
Big shout out to;
Evan from Flowerz for helping with styling and providing all of the floral arrangements,
The girls at MAC for their makeup,
The girls at Aveda Academy Salon for their wicked hair-do’s!,
And Elim Chu from The Style Seen for the clothes/fashion styling!
Most of all, thanks to Cindy + Barb for planning this all. I think everything came out perfectly! Another job well done!

Kelli Wormald
How do I know Kelli?
Kelli actually applied as an intern from UBC to work for RF Productions. So I met her through that internship program!
When did I meet Kelli?
I met her right when RF Productions was taking off! It was around March 2008!
What does Kelli do?
Kelli currently works at RF Productions as our Senior Project Manager. She also works part time on the cruise ships, traveling the world!
Alisa and I went on a lil snowboarding trip with our friends Rob and Meagan. I didn’t feel like taking my DSLR so brought along my newish toy, the Canon S95. I only shot with it once before so it would be a good test to see how it performs on the mountain! Rob has a place up by Mt. Baker so we decided to crash there Friday night. Right after the border, our first stop was Bob’s Burger where we feasted on MASSIVE burgers. Check out the guacamole oozing out of the toothpick hole!
Last Sunday, Alisa and I took out Dave + Sandra (and Lola) to the end of No.2 Road in Richmond close to the London Heritage Farm for a quick little E-session. They just got engaged on Valentines day and are now planning their beautiful wedding in August!
Finally, I get my own blog up!
As a profession, I am a cinematographer + production director for RF Productions and, and CEO for VanMedia Marketing Solutions.
For the last 2 years I have been immersed in a world of digital media from photography to graphic design. The purpose of this website/blog is to share with you my interactions of life through film and photography.
Why am I calling this ‘Kai’? Well if you scroll down to the bottom of the site, the story is there…
Enjoy!
