Back in June of 2008 I got to be part of an incredible event that was to be truly unforgettable. Justin of Cherish Event Management got me hooked up with Proud FM (103.9). They were looking for a cinematographer for a contest, Big Gay wedding on top of the world, that they were running. The contest would have 3 couples celebrating their wedding on top of the CN Tower. How could I refuse an opportunity like that.The three weddings would run back to back but only two of which needed video coverage.
The day started off me heading to Sam & Richard’s hotel to get some shots of them getting ready and I had a quirky idea for the shots of their rings and you’ll see that in the beginning of this highlight clip. They really were two awesome people to work with and that makes so much easier on us videographers. I then followed them to CN Tower where they were married by Reverend Dr. Brent Hawkes, who by the way is a very courageous man and you would think so too if you heard the experience that he went through down in Toronto when he married the first gay couple. Rev Hawkes performed a beautiful ceremony for all three couples.
The next ceremony I got be part of was Margarita & Lora’s wedding. By the time they were having their ceremony it was evening time and it looked amazing outside, including the light that was on the CN Tower. We got some really cool looking shots outside. Margarita & Lora looked like they were so much in love, have a peek at the highlight clip and judge for yourself.
Thanks to Justin, all the staff from CN Tower and Proud FM. I hope I can continue on being part of this great community.
Cheers,
Prashanna
