    Professional, Calming and Creative

    Our wedding photos and video, expertly captured by Ryan, Lisa and Tristan with Ryan as the lead photographer, are extraordinary. Ryan's remarkable ability to ease stress during the intense moments of wedding preparation, especially for my maid of honor, brought a sense of calm and joy to our day. The team's professionalism and warmth, combined with their creative vision and attention to detail, resulted in stunning, heartfelt visuals. Each cherished moment was beautifully immortalized, allowing us to relive our special day through these timeless captures. We're deeply appreciative of their exceptional work and highly recommend Aperture Lane for their services.

    Above and Beyond

    Aperture Lane and company, are just that good at what they do. With Ryan at the helm, he made us feel very comfortable from the beginning. At no point when talking about price or our vision did he make us feel like we weren't valued, or not heard. From start to finish, everything was transparent and we had a blast working together the entire time. Would recommend to anyone again.

    Aperture Lane's reply:

    Tony! Thank you so much for the kind words! You two made it so easy. Thanks for your understanding, trust and collaboration!

    It's insane to think you are hiring someone for their business and they end up being a part of your family.

    My wife and I were researching in Fall 2021 for a wedding photographer/videographer and a friend of mine who is a fellow videographer recommended Ryan from Aperture Lane. We knew that this recommendation came from a place of respect for another person's talent. After watching several of Ryan's videos on YouTube, we were amazed by how flawlessly he captured the emotions from the wedding and converted it into a short story. We instantly reached out to Ryan and he scheduled a greeting session over video call. Ryan was charming, knowledgeable, and professional. He worked with us to share our vision and worked backwards to figure out logistics for a wedding that happened in two countries and 7 events.

    Ryan and his team provided us with an engagement shoot where our vision was for it to be captured during a snowfall. He was flexible and extremely understanding that the weather was not cooperating. On the day of the engagement shoot, he bared the cold and took magazine-worthy shots that could impress anyone. He put together social media footage that we were able to share as well.

    After 2 events in Toronto, Ryan and Tristan flew out to the Dominican Republic with 95 of our family and friends and were ready to photograph and take videos of 5 more events. He worked with us every day he was there. In between events, we found Ryan and Tristan hanging out with our family and friends and playing games like old pals. It warmed our hearts knowing that they were so comfortable with our family.

    Our final video and photographs were available after the wedding through a special portal online that Ryan provided. This was an amazing way to share our footage with our loved ones.

    Our final thought. We can't imagine ourselves working with any other person. Ryan created an environment that allowed us to be ourselves while having fun planning a wedding. Not once did we feel stressed as he helped keep us organized and thought out every detail. Ryan captured all the excitement of the wedding perfectly. Every time we watch the video/photos we feel the joy all over again, it's like reliving the wedding through his lens.

    Thank you Aperture Lane for bringing our vision to life!

    Faiz,

    Excellent videography services!

    Ryan and his team exceeded expectations in quality, communication, and professionalism. Through the entire planning process, Ryan gave us immense confidence and helpful guidance. Similarly, the final product is incredible and a testament to AL's focus on storytelling through their work. I would recommend Aperture Lane unconditionally. Thank you Ryan & team!

    Tyler,
    Thank you so much for the kind feedback and for having us capture your wedding! It was a pleasure capturing all the stories, and I look forward to crossing paths again in the future!

    Outstanding!!

    I wanted my wedding day to be captured with all the real, raw emotions so that when I looked back, I would be able to relive the day again and again. Ryan did exactly that and much more. The wedding day, as nervous we both were, Ryan made us feel such at ease. Him and his team are extremely personable and professional. I still cannot get over my wedding video, I keep watching it over and over again because it is so BEAUTIFUL!! My family and I are OBSESSED with the tremendous job Ryan did. Ryan, you and your team truly have a unique talent and I am so excited for all the couples who are lucky enough to have you be part of their special day!

    Aperture Lane's reply:

    Inayat!
    I’m soooo glad you had such a great experience! You all made it so easy for us! It was an honour. Thanks for trusting us with this special day!

    Five stars

    Aperture Lane captured my wedding day in a way that I can re-live forever. It truly was the best day of my life and having a video doesn’t nearly compare to a photograph. I was indifferent at first due to it being an extra cost, however I cannot recommend securing a videographer like Aperture Lane enough.
    I’m able to transport back to that magical day and feel all of those emotions. Thank You!!

    Aperture Lane's reply:

    Caitlin!
    Thank you for the kind words! I’m so glad you came around and now understand the magic of video. So happy we got to be a part of your celebration! Enjoy!

    Not Just Another Vendor

    Planning a wedding can be quite stressful, and planning in the midst of a pandemic will have you asking yourself “do I really need to get married?”

    I first stumbled upon Aperture Lane on Instagram and was immediately drawn to their work. After watching numerous wedding reels that brought me to tears and Ryan’s “Wisdom Wednesday” videos, we decided to go with Aperture. They did not disappoint.

    Ryan’s gentle, down to earth personality helped to calm our nerves as we navigated through our wedding planning journey and on our wedding day. His patience with us and constantly changing restrictions really helped us through the process.

    Our engagement shoot was a blast and it felt like we were hanging out with a bunch of friends! Ryan and his team had us laughing so much - we were not nervous at all. Our stunning pictures spoke to this. Ryan gave tons of great advice and suggestions with other parts of the wedding as our wedding day approached, which we appreciated so much.

    On our wedding day, Ryan and his team were punctual, professional and respectful in our homes, place of worship and with our friends and family. Our photos were reflective of Ryan’s creativity and unique ideas for shots. They were spontaneous, natural and captured who we are as a couple.

    You can tell he is passionate about what he does. At one point Ryan literally ran across the dance floor, and lay flat on the ground just to get a shot of our entrance. Now if that doesn’t spell dedication, I don’t know what will. Our family and friends had only great things to say when we shared our video and photos with them. The quality is amazing, your work is timeless and I know we will cherish it forever.

    Hiring Aperture Lane was one of the best decisions we have made.

    Thank you x a million for everything.

    Love,
    Imran and Shaya

    Wonderful experience with Aperture

    From the “get go”, it was a pleasure to work with Ryan and the Aperture team on the live-streaming of our family wedding. We interviewed a number of providers and, hands down, Ryan was the most responsive and patient with our inquiries. That was, primarily, the reason we decided to go with his team although he certainly seemed to know his trade and know it well.
    We met him on the day of the event - he had a very nice nature as did the others on his team. Ryan seemed to know just where to put himself so as tot obtain the best shots while, not at all being in the way. 
And the final product speaks to his expertise. Simply beautiful and will help us reminisce in the years to come. Great sound, great clarity of picture - caught the mood so very well. And, for more than good measure, Ryan very generously agreed to stay for an additional hour after the ceremony to catch some of the dancing (hora etc.)
Thank you, thank you Aperture. Thanks to you guys, the event was captured for a lifetime of viewing pleasure and recollecting a wonderful day. A Grateful Mother of the Groom

    Amazing from beginning to end

    My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better videographer! Ryan showed so much enthusiasm, professionalism, humour and expertise. The sneak peak video blew everyone away. We had guests that did not attend the wedding recommend Aperture Lane to others simply off of the sneak peak video. The full cinematic video went above and beyond our expectations. Ryan is now our family videographer we will look no where else when it comes to capturing our events! Thank you Ryan and the Aperture Lane team, you are all so talented and amazing. We look forward to our next event with you.

    Aperture Lane's reply:

    Thank you so much, Amina! You guys made it so fun for us. Looking forward to the next event! :D
