Toronto Bayview Golf & Country Club Wedding Video

We here at SDE Weddings, Toronto’s premier wedding videography, cinematography, and photobooth company believe in the idea of “made for each other”, especially after seeing how perfect Giancarlo & Joan were together on this beautiful fall day on September 13, 2014. The couple chose to have their wedding ceremony and reception at the famed Bayview Golf and Country Club, known for its beauty and seclusion overlooking the prestigious golf course and peaceful backdrop of gardens and nature trails. It was the perfect location for the perfect couple and we were pleased to have had the opportunity to share in their joy on this wonderful day.

Both the videographer and cinematographer at SDE Weddings got right to work in the early hours of the morning capturing Joan on camera as she got her hair and makeup done at the Bayview Golf and Country Club. Meanwhile, Giancarlo spent his morning getting groomed and dressed to perfection with his entourage of groomsmen assisting him at every turn at the Hilton Toronto Markham Suites Conference Centre & Spa, before they made their way over to the country club in the afternoon to be reunited with their other half.

Youth, spirit, motivation, love and passion. Such were the perfect words to describe the bond between Zarah & Matthew, a pair of young professionals whose unforgettable wedding memories we here at SDE Weddings; Toronto’s premier wedding videography, cinematography and photobooth group, had helped to capture. On a beautiful early Autumn day just this past September 19, 2014, Zarah, a schoolteacher with the Toronto Catholic District Schoolboard, and Matthew, a software engineer, had embarked on a journey of a lifetime. The single first step which began this journey took place at Toronto’s ‘Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church’, on Zarah & Matthew’s fateful wedding day. And topping off the evening, a commemoration celebration at the ‘St. Lawrence Hall’ in Toronto’s ever-famous St. Lawrence Market and Distillery District. Truly, a very ‘downtown Toronto’ wedding experience. Armed with our wits and cameras, and alongside a familiar colleague, Jason Shum of littlefreelenser photography, our videographers and cinematographers here at SDE Weddings had sealed the deal on plenty of perfect shots all throughout, and transformed Zarah & Matthew’s many matrimonial moments into a full-feature film, encapsulating the entirety of one of their life’s most memorable of days.

Daniel + Iullia Toronto Wedding Videos

A simple story of two high-school sweethearts in love is one that’s guaranteed to pull the heartstrings. That’s why for us here at SDE Weddings, Toronto’s premier wedding videography, cinematography and photobooth group, were all too ecstatic when we met with Daniel & Iulia, a pair of high-school love-birds and best friends that have kept their love for each other alive and strong throughout the years, culminating in an unforgettable wedding day just last August 23rd, 2014 with a ceremony at Annunciation Catholic Church and a lovely outdoor reception in perfect summer weather at the Kortright Centre for Conservation. We met the couple through our friend, wedding photographer Jason Shum, who had known the two since their formative years in high-school. And although we can’t drill Jason much on just how close the two were over the years, we think the featured photos and videos from our toronto weddings videographers and cinematographers, along with photobooth snapshots and a specially-made same-day-edit highlight reel speak plenty for themselves on just how perfect Daniel & Iulia are as a couple, and just how perfect their wedding day had been.

Kelly + Evan | Black Creek Pioneer Village

Contrary to the line from the classic Alanis Morisette song “Ironic”, rain on your wedding day isn’t the end of the world; especially not if you’ve got a few crafty screws in your noggin. For us here at SDE Weddings, Toronto’s premier wedding videography, cinematography and photobooth service, a little precipitation won’t be enough to spoil our fun. A sentiment shared rightfully-so by Kelly and Evan, whose wedding celebration on July 19th, 2014 we provided our photobooth service and expertise for. The event, set under a giant open-sided gazebo at Toronto’s historically famous Black Creek Pioneer Village, surprisingly suffered hardly any hiccups despite the foreboded forecasts and an overture overcast over our heads. Evan, a science teacher by profession, decided on an interesting scheme for his wedding day decorations; an Erlenmeyer laboratory flask for the vase of flowers as the literal centrepiece of the venue, which, if you pardon the pun, got quite the ‘reaction’ from the crowd. While photobooth services were handled by us at SDE Weddings, one of our close associates, Toronto-based photographer Jason Shum provided expert photography for Kelly and Evan’s special day. As you can see from the photobooth previews below, the rain did little if anything to dampen the mood of Kelly and Evan’s wedding guests, who’s eyes were hooked on the camera till well into the night. In the end, the real ‘irony’ is making the best of what nature gives you, regardless of what comes your way.

Toronto Ukrainian Wedding Videographer | Katarina + Dan | Mississauga Living Arts Centre

Family, tradition, faith and love were the centrepiece themes for the wedding of Katarina and Dan, a couple whose unequivocal devotion to these principles sets them apart for us here at SDE Weddings, Toronto’s premier wedding videography and cinematography company. A Ukrainian twosome whose first moments together was through Katarina’s christening over twenty five years ago, as young ones taken into the fold of their parents’ friendship. Little did they know back then that these two families would eventually become one, brought together by an unyielding bond that knows not of either distance or time. As Dan’s family settled in Melbourne, Katarina’s would do so in Canada, an entire hemisphere and ocean away, and on entirely separate landmasses from their home nation of the Ukraine. The two grew up apart, yet found themselves drawn back together through the intricate acts of fate, and a shared culture that transcends mere boundaries. For us, Katarina and Dan’s union exemplifies the finer and deeper points of what draws us to marriage; a communal society, a dedication to both faith and family, and a deep reverence for one’s cultural heritage. Keep your cursors scrolled to read more about Katarina and Dan’s fated and faithful wedding day.

Vietnamese Wedding | Thuy + Luong | Hamilton & Toronto Wedding Videographer

A wedding is a celebration to cement the love of two in an union fit for a lifetime, and we at SDE Weddings know how unbelievably special such a day is for everyone involved. This sentiment rang especially true for the wedding of Thuy and Long Nguyen, a Vietnamese wedding couple who’ve been together and known each other for an especially long time. A sentimental and rather ordinary meeting was the start of the story for the two, when they simply met through mutual acquaintances at a trip to Canada’s Wonderland, just north of Toronto, the premier amusement park of Canada. The two hit it off immediately, and in retrospect, it was no ‘wonder’ at all how these two made it together this far.

The wedding proper was held in Hamilton on September 28, 2013, and the wedding reception afterwards in Brampton, just southwest of Toronto. A particularly long trek for those familiar with Southern Ontario’s geography, but such trivialities as travel were not in the minds of our Toronto wedding cinematographers and videographers when they accompanied the couple and their families all throughout the day. Such a special touch is a testament to our dedication to make the wedding day indeed the most memorable day in one’s life, and we hope that Thuy and Long share the same feeling.

For many of us, a wedding is a time of joy and laughter, of smiles and happiness. In this sense, a wedding festival spanning three days is a perfect fit for all the precious moments and heartfelt memories of the bride and groom during the happiest times of their lives. Such was the wedding celebration of Danish and Kiran, a young Pakistani wedding couple whose lives together have only just begun, but who are so familiar together that you’d say they were a match made in heaven. Danish & Kiran picked us, SDE Weddings to film and videograph their weekend wedding that feast took place June 28 to 30, 2013 in Mississauga, at the Sahara banquet hall and Payal banquet hall. The spirited duo were so sure of their commitments to each other that they needed no rehearsals for the ceremonies, and thus the wedding proper felt akin to a surreal and organic experience, where emotions truly came from the heart, and made for many wonderful scenes for our Toronto wedding videographers & cinematographers capture on film.
