There’s the proposing video, then comes the engagement photos.

We will meet with them next May in Beijing for their wedding day.

We meet this beautiful U of T couple back in the summer. They had seriously pulled off an amazingly action packed wedding day with the help of their wedding planner Erin Bosak. The wedding ceremony was held at the Garden of Pillar and Post, following the photo session at Konzelmann winery. The London Double Decker is the cherry on top to this perfect day at Niagara on the Lake.

It was a beautiful day and we managed to capture this gorgeous footage and at the same time edited into a lovely featured short film by 8pm the same evening. From their North York condominium, to Thornhill parents’ home, down to the frosh week campus in University of Toronto, and back to the Toscana banquet hall in Hilton, Vaughan, everything ran just smoothly and we enjoyed this entire working process ourselves too.

The so-called “door-games” are an essential part of the traditional Chinese wedding, during which the groom typically needs to complete a series of fun tasks before he can finally meet the bride. It was just fun to see Vivian watch her husband-to-be over the high tech webcam, thanks to Microsoft for the amazing Kinect setup. The smiles on her face were nothing but sweet.

The banquet hall at Toscana Banquet and Conference Centre is perfectly designed (maybe not intentionally) that the sunlight comes right in when the doors were opened for their grand entrance, created that dream effect that usually requires high intensity lighting in movie productions.

Enjoy the video, and congratulations to the lovely couple.

We met Pat and Natalie earlier this year, and they had not many ideas of what to do for their wedding. But the day ended up really smoothly and we managed to capture many beautiful and happy moments in both still and motion pictures.

During the post production process, we frequently talked about Natalie’s anime-like signature smile, which she had all day on her face, as well as Patrick’s new ride, in which he was still getting used to the clutch and stick driving mode.

While in traditional Chinese weddings, the groom is not allowed to see the bride until he passes various tests and complete some fun tasks given by the bridesmaids, Natalie was able to see Patrick as he was having fun with the door games, thanks to modern technology — Face Time.

The ceremony was held in Oakview Terrace in Richmond Hill. The little roofed outdoor wooden chapel, the balcony and patio area, and the peaceful lake that the entire garden is built by all make it the perfect setting for wedding celebrations. Enjoy the pictures and the video highlights.

The Toronto Island is of no doubt one of the top choices for couples who love both the beach and the unban scenary. With a fairly small group of about 100, Rina picked the Waterfront Montesorri that faces directly the CN Tower across the lake. Guests arrived on pre-booked water taxis that drops passenger off right at the ceremony. Catering at this location is actually much better than we thought, a large grill was set up by the house and steaks were in front of everyone soon after the reception dinner started. Rina’s father had a great idea of using this special venue. He managed to find a boat that carried a full load of fireworks, to the centre of the lake between the island and the city. The beautiful fireworks announced the start of the night long party.
