Since I started shooting weddings, I’ve gotten a chance to have conversations that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. One of those particular conversations goes something like this: Friend: Ryan, I really like your videos! Me: Thanks! I’m so glad you like them… ​Friend: I wish we had gotten videography for our wedding… ​ Some of […]

Friends don’t let friends get married without videography

I started 2017 with a bang! As some of you may know, I moved living and office spaces this past December. With just over half of the unpacking done, I was off to Georgia, USA with some of my crew to Elton and Stephanie’s wedding weekend. I’ve attended Chinese weddings before but I learned a […]

  Kwami and Perpetual exchanged vows and rings. They then went to sign their marriage documents in the common fashion but what happened after that totally caught us off-guard. At the end of the signing, the (worship) band picked up the tempo and members of the audience flooded to the front of the room. The […]

Kwami & Perpetual’s Ghanaian wedding in Mississauga

This Nigerian celebration had the visual semblance of a South Asian wedding with bright and shimmering colours but it was unmistakably a West African wedding characterized by lots of story-telling and many opportunites to dance all through out the evening. Olatokunboh, affectionately called “Toks”, and his wife Abiola, give Team Aperture Lane their first taste […]

  One weekend in November during one of my Saturday editing days, I got a phone call from a passionate business owner who needed video. Receiving a call like this wasn’t uncommon – it was more the idea of what she wanted filmed. ​Here begins my first encounter with Shawn Solomon. She is the owner […]

Tim and Jasmine’s story is a story filled with faith and gratitude. They are very committed Christians, who are deeply rooted in their communities of faith. Along with clear recognition of God’s goodness in their lives throughout the day, there is an abundance of sports references. Along with being a sports enthusiast, Tim also had […]

During thanksgiving weekend, I ventured out with Shannon (from Shannon Robbins Photography) to the Kelso Conversation Area out in Milton, ON. As Daniel and Gizelle’s photo/video team for their wedding next July, we were honoured to spend some time with them and get to know them a little better. As opposed to your regular engagement […]

​Fervin and Jasmine are one of the most fun-loving and easy-going couples I’ve had the privilege of working with. Their lightheartedness shone bright from their attitude towards the inclement weather before their ceremony all the way to care-free dancing by the couple accompanied by their friends and family. As we drove to the Crosswinds Golf […]

Adrian and Tenn-lai’s passion for each other led them to sunny Runaway Bay in Jamaica for their destination wedding. The attendance was quite a testament to the strong and supportive community around them as 120 people attended, with only a very small percentage hailing from the locales. As my first destination wedding shoot outside of […]
