Cheryl and Oscar SDE – Forever changed

Oscar is a towering figure, but his big heart compliments Cheryl’s soft spoken, sweet personality.  In addition to the Macbook Air Oscar got Cheryl for their wedding, he decided to get himself a watch he always wanted. Unknowingly, Cheryl decided to get Oscar the exact same watch. The surprise may have been given away, but the intention and appreciation was not lost.

Every day leading up to the wedding, Oscar posted a countdown message on Cheryl’s Facebook page. We could see the relief and excitement as he typed the last message. Their dedication to each other is inspiring and their Facebook status’ forever changed!

Ilanit and Ruben SDE – Fishing for Love in Sweet September

about 5 hours ago we presented this video to Ilanit and Ruben’s family and friends at their Jewish wedding reception in Toronto.

we started off at the cosmopolitan hotel in the heart of the city where Ilanit and her lovely bridesmaids got ready to the soulful music of amy winehouse.

shortly after Ruben arrived in a shiney white drop-top bently and the happy couple were together at last! This was only the very beginning of their happy life as a married couple.

Here is their same day edit – our very own version of events of the day.  We hope you enjoy! And again mazel tov to the new couple!

thanks to assaf friedman –  it was a pleasure to shoot along side  him yesterday.

Nancy and Justin SDE – Shooting stars

Our schedules can sometimes be grueling and it can get really tough on our bodies…even for a job that we are so passionate about. For Nancy & Justin, the second of our double-header wedding weekend, with no more than 3.5 hours of sleep for the entire team after working another SDE wedding the night before, we were able to keep ourselves energized for their wedding day.

Perhaps it was because of the amazing energy between the couple that kept us going, or because we hit an exhaustion high that somehow lasted us the entire day.

It was during Nancy’s speech at the reception when I realized that we picked the perfect song for their same day edit. Nancy spoke of her first kiss with Justin under a shooting star, this being the first one that she had ever seen in her entire lifetime. She also mentioned  that 5 days before their wedding day she just happened to catch another shooting star in the sky as they hung out outside a cottage. How fitting that the name of the song we chose for them would be called “Starlight”. Coincidence? I think not.

Rowena & Elmer Highlight

The union of 2 families is an important part of a marriage. Not only were Rowena and Nathan gaining a husband and a father in Elmer, but they were joining their two extra large families into one.

Family being extremely important to Row and Elm, we thought that it would be great to start from the beginning and let their parents tell us how they fell in love. They had no idea that we pulled their parents aside for this special interview and we were happy to share their stories to lead us into their highlight video.

Anna and John – Love Story

We had a pleasant, but insanely scorching hot time shooting Anna and John’s wedding this past weekend. The hot weather was unbelievable! But on top of the stunningly beautiful newly-weds and elaborately epic reception that followed was a special celebrity guest appearance by THE one and only Bob Saget, and Playboy Playmate Hope Dworaczyk! When does this ever happen!?!? Really! Cool huh?

Held at the beautiful Liberty Grand, the reception was amazing and hilarious! We loved shooting every minute of it! And it was here where we presented Anna and John’s Love Story on the big screen!…

Congrats to the newly weds, Anna and John!

For all of the dog lovers!

Every year animal enthusiasts and dog lovers from all across North America meet and play out in the streets of downtown Toronto. We are big animal lovers ourselves, so this year we decided to spend a few hours one Sunday afternoon to meet and capture some of the many four-legged attendees on camera.

With 1 camera, a Cinevate simplis rig, and a backpack of lenses we hit the streets…

kristen and richard – SDE – Love & Volleyball

Weddings are always a very exciting and momentous occasion, but putting one together usually causes a bride a lot of anxiety and stress just to get every detail absolutely perfect. For Kristen, “Ten” as she is called by her family and friends, she began her morning peacefully and calm as if it were any ordinary day.

After hearing the bad news about her limo breaking down which caused her and her team of bridesmaids to arrive at the church almost 1 hour late and even after the downpour of rain that decided to fall right as they arrived at their photo session location -something that would cause any other bride to have a meltdown, Ten was focused; she was marrying her one true love “Reach”.

Capturing couples like Ten and Reach, you can’t help but feel so humbled by how they never sweat the small stuff and hold on to what’s truly important in their lives… each other.

also a special thanks to all the cooperation from www.sandytam.ca and her awesome team!

kristen and richard – Wedding Reception Entrance Video

A lot of our couples ask us to do a Same Day Edit for them, a highlight edit, feature edit and sometimes a Engagement video (aka Love Story) for them. Kristen and Richard wanted something unique for their entrance into their reception.

Both love playing volleyball. Richard even proposed to Kristen with a volleyball!

So we booked a deserted island location and called up our friend Tom Cruise out to help us make their funny little Entrance Video…

melanie & ryan’s SDE – Rain and motorcycles don’t mix! Well… they do now!!!

Melanie and Ryan approached us early last year through our photog friend FJ Sarmiento, before we had even established ourselves as Made In Camera. They had full trust in us even back then to deliver something for them that we will never forget.

Another rainy wedding it was indeed, but to differ, Melanie and her team of bridesmaids soldiered the cold and wet weather and made for some amazing images for their edit. Ryan, adding his own flare with his hilarious personality was definitely made to be in front of the camera.

Thank you both for one amazing night! It’s so apparent how much you are loved by all your family and friends.

Notable moments:
@2:09 – Ryan brought to tears by Melanie’s walk down the aisle

@2:20 – the 2 fathers giving each other a high-five behind the bride and groom as they met at the altar

@3:27 – the GRAND entrance

– the violinist, more on this later….
