Jane & Andre
Jane took a deep breath, looked into Andre’s eyes, and began speaking – in perfect Portuguese. The groom’s eyes widened, a flicker of disbelief flashing across his face before emotion took over. This was the language of his family, his childhood, his heart – and hearing it come from his bride made the moment feel deeply intimate and profound. In that instant, she wasn’t just speaking words; she was bridging cultures, embracing his roots, and honoring the life they were about to build together. The guests watched, the groom’s mother gasped in silence, as Andre’s hand covered his mouth, trying to steady himself, overwhelmed by love and gratitude for this beautiful gesture.
Then, at this special Ukrainian and Brazilian Vancouver fusion wedding, Jane and Andre stepped onto the beautifully embroidered Ukrainian cloth symbolizing their shared path. They looked at each other with a mixture of joy and reverence, knowing this small step honored Jane’s heritage and the beginning of their journey together.
To cap off a perfect day, we took Jane and Andre out for their sunset shoot, when Jane asked us, “can we run”? Knowing Jane was a marathon runner and Andre was a sprinter, we kept up with them the only way possible, with our FPV drone! The action shot of them running into the sunset is one of our favourites from the year!

Vancouver Fusion Wedding Video
Capturing a Vancouver fusion wedding video is an incredibly rewarding experience. Vancouver’s diverse culture means we’ll encounter weddings that blend rich traditions from around the world, from Indian and Chinese weddings to Persian Canadian celebrations, and more. Each fusion wedding has unique moments that require a keen eye to capture the essence of both cultures, honoring each family’s heritage while telling the couple’s unique love story.
As a videographer, one of the joys is capturing the intricate details that make fusion weddings special: the merging of rituals, the vibrant traditional attire, and the unexpected, heartfelt moments when two families come together. For example, a Chinese tea ceremony paired with a Western-style vows exchange allows for two contrasting yet complementary visual stories. Each moment, whether it’s a vibrant mehndi event, a beautiful chuppah, or the lively music and dances, deserves thoughtful, artful filming.
Vancouver’s wedding venues, like Swaneset or Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, offer stunning backdrops that enhance the elegance of a fusion wedding. The diversity of these settings, combined with multicultural wedding elements, makes for visually captivating footage. As a videographer, creating a seamless film that respects both traditions while encapsulating the couple’s modern love story is both a challenge and a joy. It’s storytelling at its finest.
