philosophy

As much as we all appreciate fancy cinematic visuals and riveting music, we really do believe it’s the narrative behind it all that makes or breaks anything that holds our attention. Different elements of film will go out of style, but a well told story will live on for many years to come. That being said, we find ourselves aligning with couples and organizations that value a story-driven presentation. 

​fun • authentic • classy

Special events are a time of celebration but they can be stressful nonetheless. While we capture your precious moments, our aim is to help you feel at ease and have fun so that you can truly live in this once-in-a-lifetime occasion. We capture the full spectrum of moments from the well rehearsed traditions all the way to the unscripted blunders while preserving the elegance that you worked so hard to exhibit on your day.

If we end up keeping in touch after the event, that’s normal. That’s what happens when you welcome people into your life because stories bring us all together

Ryan

​lead videographer & editor

I am an event and wedding videographer. I truly believe that stories can change people’s lives. I never realized this conviction of mine until I found myself capturing milestone moments in the life of people in my spiritual community. This habit, however, started with myself, as my camera became an extension of me, preserving my own experiences so I could later connect with others. Videography is not a job for me - it’s a way of life

As a husband, father of twins, and an active member in my community, I understand how life’s moments can slip by. I slowly transitioned out of my language teaching career to pursue this new adventure of helping people preserve their significant moments. I combined training from world class videographers and my own aptitude for language to carefully craft meaningful keepsakes for my clients. 

I take pride in being a videographer because I not only preserve visuals, but also the parts of life that are experienced with the ears. You, whether you believe it or not, can make an impact with your story, so I’m looking forward to discussing how I can capture yours. If it’s not your time to share with the world, then please follow Aperture Lane on social media and see how stories can bring us all together.

Andrea

​videographer

I'm Andrea, the “feminine touch” for our team here at Aperture Lane. I've been capturing moments since I was a kid. There’s nothing that warms my heart more than love, and what a great opportunity it is to be able to capture all that love through film! My favourite parts of the day are heartfelt chats with the parents of the couple, the appetizers during cocktail hour and watching the groom cry at the sight of his bride walking down the isle. My goal is to make you laugh, make you feel like movie stars, and leave you feeling like you’ve made a new friend at the end of the day.

Tristan

​​videographer

I’m Tristan and I love everything to do with cameras. When I’m not chasing stories on my own or with Team Aperture Lane, I’m busy pursuing my degree in architecture. My journey as a videographer started by simply making short and funny films with my friends. From there, I fell in love with documenting stories and moments that I could look back on. My goal is to capture the moments in life that make us sit back and say, “life is great.”
My favourite parts of the day include the creative session, and hearing the vows. When I can afford to put down the camera, I do quality assurance of the hors oeuvres.

Working with Ryan and his team made planning this part of our event effortless. They were easy to work with, friendly, very professional and fair. We cannot express how happy we are with our wedding video; they captured all of our special moments with class and beauty. [...]

[...] During the day he was very fun, personable and easy to work with. He made me and my wedding party/family feel very comfortable with the camera there through the whole day. His balance of professionalism and family-oriented business is difficult to come by! [...]
​- Ronnie M.

[...] He focuses on the history that helped shape us into who we are and the joint commitment for both the exciting and enduring days ahead. We appreciated his ability to weave a story, featuring the priceless moments of our day. [...]
​- Sarah R.

Rather than the video feeling scripted or forced, it really captured our "story" and the wedding day beautifully. It was even better than anticipated. 
- Jamie D.
