  • Hello Tomorrow | Mac & Erin

    Since 2006, we’ve been traveling the world creating one-of-a-kind wedding films for the raddest humans on the planet. To us, a good story is much more than pretty images set to music—it’s about heartfelt moments, genuine emotion, and the profound connection between two people.

    Our passion is telling affectionate and authentic stories about the greatest adventure in life… love. We believe a wedding is much more than just an event, it’s a story of two people that’s just beginning to unfold, and we believe that deserves to be captured in a timeless film.

    While most people would think of us as wedding videographers, we like to think of ourselves as filmmakers rooted in storytelling in the non-traditional sense. We love unpolished moments, unique ceremonies, and people who embrace the raw emotion that naturally unfolds on their wedding day.

  • Pardeep Singh Photography

    Hi! I'm Pardeep, a seasoned photographer located in the Vancouver area of British Columbia. Over the past two decades, I've specialized in capturing unforgettable moments as a wedding, portrait, and commercial photographer. My drive lies in crafting photographs and client interactions that resonate with authenticity and joy.

    Throughout my career, I've found that the key to longevity and prosperity is in the simplicity of delivering strong photography and fostering memorable client experiences.

    In addition to my work in photography, I wear many hats - as a husband, father, educator, woodworker, bread maker and enthusiast of countless other hobbies. Oh, and I may be a bit of a coffee-nerd. But not a snob… well, maybe a little bit."

  • Hayley Zummkeller Photography

    Hayley Zumkeller combines her experience as a Marketing Manager with her 10 years in the Wedding Industry as a Photographer and Videographer to teach Ad Strategy. After hitting her first multi-6 figure year, she noticed this was a direct result of continually increasing her Ad Spending Budget. Client Inquiries were always the hardest thing to get as a Videographer, but with a proper Ad Campaign, she brought in over 300 local inquiries in 2023.

    After meeting countless creatives in the industry, Hayley realized that they didn't understand the power of ads and how affordable they are. Most creatives are amazing at what they do, but they fail to connect with their dream clients. Hayley helps Creatives attain consistent inquiries from their ideal clients, build stronger brand awareness, and ultimately increase their income.

  • Ideaction Consulting | Sam Jacobson

    Sam Jacobson helps wedding pros book better clients at higher prices using buyer psychology and behavioural economics.

    Sam’s spent 17+ years obsessing about how to get couples to pay more for event services. Predictive behaviour profiling, value building, communication theory, choice architecture, persuasion tactics. You name it, he’s learned about it – and used it to market and sell over $10,000,000 directly to clients in the wedding industry.

    In 2016, Sam started Ideaction Consulting to help wedding pros reach their goals. He and his wife, Katy Taylor Jacobson, offer business and sales coaching, website copywriting and design, a mastermind, and immersive strategy retreats for event companies just like yours.

Being an empath and (very) talkative individual certainly helps with her line of work!
