The Hive Cinematography

CHIARA + NELSON

In the heart of Toronto, at the iconic 1 King West venue, Nelson and Chiara celebrated their wedding day in a grand and picturesque style. The couple opted for a cinematic memoir video, capturing the essence of their special day through a combination of photography and videography. With the assistance of this hybrid second photographer, they were able to explore various locations within the hotel, making the most of its stunning backdrops and diverse settings.

Their wedding party seamlessly moved through the different areas of the hotel, from the basement vault to the rooftop patio overlooking the city, creating a visually captivating narrative for their cinematic memoir. The couple’s enthusiasm and eagerness to explore every corner allowed the photographers to ethereally capture their essence, resulting in a stunning video that will be treasured by the couple and their loved ones for years to come. Their journey even took them outside the hotel to the Commerce Court Plaza, where they visited the iconic mother of elephants sculpture, adding a unique touch to their wedding day memories.

 

By seamlessly blending photography and videography, the couple’s cinematic memoir represents a beautiful and artistic representation of their love story. With the ability to easily switch between capturing still moments and motion picture, I was able to create a unique and personalized cinematic experience that truly showcases the magic of Nelson and Chiara’s wedding day.
