Wow it’s been a minute! It feels like the work is never done and I know there’s still more images to add to our galleries, and SEO stuff to set up in the background but I’m going to go ahead and publish this sucker and take it out of it’s “maintenance mode” which has been a long time coming.

This video was a blast to make. Sometimes simplicity is the best answer. This song is so catchy too we are so excited to see where it takes them. This video was created in our studio (read: garage) with just a simple three-point lighting set up. We hope you enjoy this video as much as our four year old who ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/video-release-perfect-stranger-by-the-vidos/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
I remember the first show I saw at Studebakers Cabaret in Burnaby was for a band called Jar who opened for L.A. Guns. My friends and I were all blown away by Jar and were sure they would be the next huge thing. We thought that the singer Garth was literally going to jump off the stage and rip everyones ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/hellchamber-dose-video-release/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
I am so thrilled to finally be able to share the video written, storyboarded, directed, edited and produced by my very talented husband Dave Benedict! It was a long 14 hour day with Jett as the lighting assistant, camera assistant Alexandre Robichaud, props by Steven Tyrrell and Paul Douglas, make-up by Angelica Nakamura and a special thanks to Franck Sala and David Duprey. ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/video-release-the-belief-experiment/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
Before Christmas we shot the band Me and Mae for some of their promotional photos. It’s always great to see the work you’ve done in print! Check out the article below from the Langley Arts section in the Langley Advance.
It is with great pleasure that we share with you this teaser for a music video that is one of Dave’s latest. The band, The Belief Experiment, is a grungy pop-rock band out of Vancouver, BC. This song is off their upcoming EP and is called ‘The Walls’. It’s catchy, hypnotizing, and we can’t wait for you to see the ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/the-belief-experiment-teaser/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
In 2015 Dave got commissioned to do up a graphic that would go on a tea box filled with Look Organic Tea for a fundraising party for Guitar Marty Hatlelid who had been diagnosed with ALS.

Dave had the privilege of being the photographer at an intimate surprise wedding last week. This couple in the past few months have been rocked by the news that the groom has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancerous GBM brain tumour (a terminal disease). This couple risk their lives on the daily for our community to keep us safe, all ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/bucket-list-wedding/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
Thrilled to see the logo designed for my aunt and uncles company back east find itself on their van! Since 1998 Benedict Electrical, a family-owned and operated company, has been doing all kinds of electrical work from residential, commercial and industrial.
It was so inspiring doing a photo shoot for long-time customer and friend Jenn Salway-Turner. Usually we get to create her family’s epic Christmas cards along with family photos. This time was different. Eight months ago Jenn started on a fitness journey. Something that had been on her bucket list that she can now proudly check off. We had so ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/fitspiration/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
The day is here where the guys from the Vidos are releasing part two of the trilogy of videos for their single Car Trouble. This video was so much fun to write, direct, shoot, produce and edit. We can’t wait to film Part Three!

We got to do a fun shoot last weekend. The concept was by Kelly James McLeod and Sarah Notman. The character is based on one created by Sarah Notman.

Check out The Vido’s video debut for their single, Horseshoes! This was such a fun project to shoot and piece together. Dave couldn’t have done a better job. Check it out and if you dig the band (how could you not?) follow them on Facebook to make sure you catch them when they tour through your town.
A big thank you to Brian and Carrie for freezing their butts off this very cold January afternoon/evening. The pictures turned out great and you’d have no idea how cold it actually was! Thank goodness for warm cars and heated seats between locations. We couldn’t be more thrilled for this couple and are so excited for their Sea to Sky ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/engagement-shoot-brian-carrie/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
I think the first wedding we ever shot will always be a memorable experience for us. Not only because it was wrestling themed (married in a ring, the officiant dressed like a ref, championship belts, wrestling robes, and each table at the reception decorated to the theme of a famous wrestler just to name a few of the amazing ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/what-we-learned-from-our-first-wedding/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
Today marks a sad anniversary. On November 3, 2011 the music community lost an amazing guitar player, performer, and proud to say one of my friends. On January 8, 2003 my good friend, Phil Calfy, asked me to come down to Nashville to record on three of his tracks. Phil being a good friend of mine I jumped on the ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/remembering-cory/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
On Tuesday Dave was inspired to play around with our snoot, something we haven’t used too much of. I have to say, the images turned out quite fun! Here are a couple of our favourites. We had a highlight at the back, the snoot off to the side, and the room was dark. We had to bump up the ISO on ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/lights-camera-snoot/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
Back roughly in 2008 I was helping out band called Soul Side In. We got to do a showcase for Gene Simmons in Edmonton. Default was playing the same venue a month later. Gene is one of my childhood heros so it was a huge honor to perform for somebody that I had studied and stolen from. The performance went well, ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/flashback-friday-playing-for-gene-simmons/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
We absolutely love that we have been able to travel to destination weddings the past couple years, and we were more than thrilled to be a part of the Randazzo wedding this August up in Banff, Alberta. Banff is a magical town and one couldn’t expect anything less than magical having their wedding there. Although the night before the big ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/the-randazzo-wedding/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
This video is totally inspiring. It really speaks to anyone with a passion. I especially love where Jake Weidmann quotes Louis Madarasz, “Study as much as you practice.” These words couldn’t be more true. Whether, for us, it be through watching tutorials, reading books by other photographers, or picking other photographers brains this is all something I personally feel I ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/jake-weidmann-master-penman/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
This was the band that I joined when I first moved out west. My first landing spot was Kelowna, BC and these were the fellas that I started my first western band with called Jesters Revenge.

He was a high school friend ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/fbf-jesters-revenge/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
One of many things I love about shooting weddings is all the different locations and themes each of them has. The Westerlund wedding took us to the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club for a private beach wedding where the groom emerged from the water onto the beach in drysuit gear (whilst Goldfinger theme song played) and the bride arrived via boat.

Another “busy” week has come and gone and Dave and I have yet again had a chance to sit down together and plan a Default Flashback Friday (where he tells old stories from the road days).

This past Saturday we had the pleasure of doing another photo shoot with the ever-photogenic Meghan Patrick.

It’s been wedding season for some time now, and boy does time fly! To start off our season we got to shoot a themed wedding, this time: 1920’s!

It’s what we call Chatter’s season here at Square Egg Visions. Every year this event has hundreds of stylists from across Canada vying for the top prize.

We had the pleasure of shooting these brothers who are the band Petric. They are signed to Dallas Smith‘s label Steelhead Music. The whole week prior to the shoot was gorgeous and sunny.

Five years ago today Dave and I got married. We’ve been together for seven and of those seven shooting photography for five and a half. Before meeting Dave photography was just a hobby of mine.

This by far one of my most memorable and humbling trips. This was on our way home from Afghanistan.

This photo reminds me exactly why I think having both Dave and I at a shoot is best. A photographer when looking through the lens has so much going on, making sure the exposure is right, composition is good, subject is in focus, no major items coming out of the subjects head (tree branches, poles, fencing, etc looking like an ... <div><a href="http://squareeggvisions.com/two-photographers-are-better-than-one/" class="more-link">Read More</a></div>
