A WEDDING FILM
Tayah & Devon.
A Spark When We Look at Each Other
We had some ground to cover.
I’ve known Devon for more than twenty years, and after moving to Toronto, I got to watch his relationship with Tayah grow firsthand. So getting to film their wedding meant a lot to me. What I hadn’t quite anticipated was six days of filming across six locations, from golf courses and horse stables to Casa Loma and eventually the mountains of Banff. A little more ground to cover than your usual wedding day.
Tayah and Devon are both pretty determined people, although they tend to move at very different speeds. Tayah moved to Toronto not long after they got together. Devon, as his best man was more than happy to remind everyone, can take a little longer to make up his mind. Somehow, it works. Their friends and families had no shortage of stories about them, and nobody seemed particularly interested in holding back. Devon’s dad alone thanked Tayah for marrying his son about four separate times.
Some of those speeches got pretty emotional, too. Devon’s best man Bryton got more than a little choked up talking about their friendship, Devon wasn’t doing much better, and Tayah’s dad spoke about how he’d come to think of Devon as a son. Friends and family had flown in from across Canada, and Tayah was finally getting the mountain wedding she’d always dreamed of. There was an awful lot to bring together into one ten-minute film. As much as I love the mountain footage, it’s those moments between the people I know that stay with me. I may have teared up behind the camera once or twice. But you didn’t hear that from me.
And then they watched it.
“Dylan did an amazing job on our wedding video!! We got married in the mountains, and he perfectly captured our experience and all the highlights of our special day. He really put a personal touch in it and we’re glad we’ll have this forever to look back on. I would definitely recommend him!”
