It’s always nice to have a client (especially one in television and journalism) tell you that they truly LOVE and appreciate the cinematography that we do! We’ve initially received an email inquiry from Laura and she mentioned a highlight video that had taken place at Credit Valley Golf Course on our website that caught her attention and wanted to know, if we were available on her BIG DAY! During our initial consultation with Laura and Daniel over Skype, it was plain to see how deeply in love they were. The Bride and Groom-to-be told us how eagerly they were looking forward to their big day at Crosswinds Golf and Country Club to say their vows and start the next chapter of their lives together. The morning of their wedding was a beautiful autumn day and a sign of things to come. As Laura and Daniel got ready in anticipation of their moment, they couldn’t help but smile at reading heartfelt words they had written to each other the night before heading to their outdoor ceremony site. As Laura walked down the aisle with her father by her side, Daniel anxiously exhaled. It was the moment they had both been waiting for amongst the beautiful background of fall colours around them. They both knew that they were meant to be together and bound by a pledge to be there for each other for the rest of their days. Laura and Daniel are truly dedicated to each other and with the love and support of their friend and families, we are sure they will have a long and happy life together!...

We initially met Cherry & Jason over Skype during one of our online videography consultations. We learned they had been together since October 8, 2006 and were engaged 4 years later to the day, of course with the help of a ‘magic’ 8-ball during Jason’s proposal to Cherry! Six years later, they were excited to finally be getting married! As we made our way from Toronto to meet Cherry & Jason that morning, we noticed they were blessed with beautiful weather in as they started getting ready at Staybridge Suites. Surrounded by the love of family and friends, both the Bride and Groom were in great spirits and ready to say those magical words “I do!” As Cherry walked down the aisle of Merciful Reedemer Catholic Church with her parents, Jason had his breath taken away by his beautiful bride. It’s always interesting to witness traditional elements during weddings such as the Filipino coin exchange, cord and veil ceremonies. It really illustrated how they were meant to be together make a bound by a pledge to be there for each other for the rest of their lives! Afterwards, the couple was whisked away to Shell Park in Oakville for their first photos as newlyweds. You could easily see by the looks on their faces that were so in love and surely meant to spend the rest of their lives together. The beautifully decorated reception took place at the Oakville Conference Centre. Filled with all their family and friends from home and abroad, the rest of the evening was filled with a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all in attendance....

Sometimes, all it takes is a single moment to change the course of our lives, Roxanne and Marvin are no strangers to this. Having initially met in school 6 years prior when Roxanne turned around in class to ask to join Marvin’s group for a project, little did they know that it would be the beginning of something much greater. They were truly blessed to have amazing weather for their fall December wedding with the backdrop of the Toronto skyline providing an absolutely picturesque setting for the day. After getting ready in the morning at the stunning Thompson Hotel, they were whisked off to St. Anthony’s Catholic Church for the big moment. With the groom taking in a deep breath as his bride to be walked down the aisle with her parents, they were all set to finally become one in front of their beloved family and friends. It’s always special to see couples share in their cultural traditions such as the Filipino custom of the cord and veil, their sponsors seemed to take great pride in sharing the ceremony with Roxanne and Marvin. After their vows to each other we returned to the Thompson rooftop to capture them as husband and wife. Truly happy and clearly in love with each other, we couldn’t ask for a better backdrop to show off the newlyweds as the sun set on the city. At the reception, they were introduced for the first time as man and wife to a room full of applause from all in attendance. You couldn’t help but cheer for them both as they just seemed as they...

We initially were introduced to Leanna and Anthony as a referred client from Lillian and Adam, who we provided Cinematography services to the year before. High School sweethearts Leanna and Anthony, had been together for 11 years before Anthony finally proposed on Halloween of 2013, so it was only fitting that their wedding day took place on the very same day 2 years later! It was a perfectly crisp fall day for their wedding and there was a wonderful sense of love and family support in the air among the autumn background. Couples often exchange gifts on their wedding day but we were really impressed with Anthony’s gift to Leanna of a customized perfume and original box to match. What a unique way to show your love for your partner! With baited breath, the Groom awaited his wife to be at St. Francis De Sales Church in Ajax. In the video, you could really see his expression of disbelief that this long awaited moment had finally arrived. Seeing his beautiful Bride for the first time, he greeted Leanna and her parents at the top of the aisle with a kiss on the cheek for her Mother and a hearty chest bump for her Dad! After their first kiss as Husband and Wife, they were whisked off to Kortright Centre for their wedding party photos. It’s always a pleasure to capture a stunning couple among such beautiful scenery, it truly makes our job a joy to do what we do as Cinematographers. We then arrived at Paradise Banquet Hall in Vaughan to a Halloween themed reception, which was a first...

Meeting Jessica and Domenic was such a delight at their initial consultation! With everyone in high spirits that morning (even Doug the dog!), the stage was set for a beautiful autumn day to be married! Their wedding ceremony took place at St. Paul the Apostle Church in front of family and friends sharing all their love and support for the couple. As always, we believe that capturing the groom’s first reaction to the bride is one of the best moments of the day! Domenic was very emotional as Jessica walked down the aisle with her mother…she looked absolutely gorgeous from head to toe! After the vows were exchanged, we headed off to High Park for photos with family and friends along with a quick stop in the fashion district of downtown Toronto. Jessica and Domenic really wanted some vibrant colours and creative imagery as a backdrop to their photos + video, so dropping by Graffiti Alley would be the best place to be (located just south of Queen Street West near Bathurst Street)! As the sun was slowly setting, we made our way to the beautifully staged reception at the Red Rose Convention Centre in Mississauga. With the ambience set for the first dance, it looked like Jessica and Domenic were dancing on a cloud (literally!). As the fog machine filled the floor, all you could focus on was the happy couple and all they could focus on was each other! We wish Jessica and Domenic all the best in a happy and loving marriage together...
