Promotional Video Production

Adam and his team at Captivate have been a pleasure to work with. When sourcing a company to film/produce an updated company promotional video, we had some unique requirements, as we had done several in the past with multiple issues. We provided a pre-written script and rough shot list, as our leadership team had agreed on the flow of the video prior to any shooting. Adam and his team were extremely accommodating, worked within our script/shot list, and provided key insight on ways to improve while still keeping to the foundations of what we needed. On the shoot days, Adam and his team were prepared with any and all equipment you could possibly need for including drones, a multitude of lighting options both interior and exterior. The end result produced a product that has exceeded the expectations outlaid, and will undoubtedly provide us a significant return on investment. I would recommend Captivate for any business looking to highlight and market their strengths. More...

We recently had the privilege of working with Adam, our wedding photographer for a 3 day event, and we couldn't be more delighted with the experience. From the moment we began our search for a photographer, Adam stood out as a true professional who demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for his craft. His exceptional service and warm demeanor throughout the entire process left us thoroughly impressed.

From the initial meeting, Adam's approach was far from pushy. He patiently answered all of our questions and provided invaluable insights, helping us understand what to expect and what we should be looking for in a wedding photographer. This professionalism and transparency instantly put us at ease, and we knew we had found someone we could trust with capturing our special moments.

What truly set Adam apart, though, was the way he seamlessly integrated into our small event. Over the course of those 3 days, he became more than just a photographer; he felt like a part of our family. It was evident that he genuinely cared about us and our special day, and his heartfelt excitement added a beautiful touch to the whole experience. His friendly and approachable nature made working with him a breeze.

One of the most crucial aspects of a wedding photographer is their ability to make the couple feel comfortable in front of the camera, and Adam excelled at this. His unobtrusive and reassuring presence allowed us to be ourselves, and we never felt nervous or self-conscious during the photoshoots. He effortlessly captured candid moments and emotions, resulting in authentic and breathtaking photographs that we will cherish forever.

Adam's dedication to his craft and his passion for what he does shine through in every photograph he took. His attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of our wedding surpassed our expectations. The end results were stunning and truly reflected the love and joy we experienced on our special day.

We wholeheartedly recommend Adam to anyone in need of a wedding photographer. He is not just a talented professional but also a wonderful person who adds a unique and heartwarming touch to the wedding experience. Choosing Adam was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we are immensely grateful for the memories he has preserved for us. Thank you, Adam, for making our wedding truly unforgettable!

We recently worked with Adam Stephenson at Captivate Photo+Cinema. We were impressed with Adam's ability to learn our language from print and web materials and translate it to a working script. Our systems can be complicated to someone not in our industry. Adam quickly understood the key attributes of our equipment and was able to pull everything together to create a cohesive narrative. The storyboards and shot lists he provided were thorough and outlined everything the team would capture. His team arrived prepared and ready to capture what was set out during the planning stage. The videos turned out better than we had imagined. We are in the process of creating a library of videos and look forward to working with Adam and his team on more projects.

We are beyond grateful and thrilled with how Adam, Taylor, and Ryan were able to capture our wedding day through photo and video and highly recommend them to anyone getting married.

Immediately following our ceremony, Adam helped corral our large families so we could get the big group family photos we wanted very quickly. This left us with enough time to capture moments with our bridal party and more intimate photos of just the two of us before our reception.

Taylor did a phenomenal job with our +Celebrate Film and picked the perfect music to pair with the video. Every time we watch the film it brings us back to that day. We have saved the raw footage and speeches for our one year anniversary and can't wait to watch more of what they were able to capture.

Throughout the entire day, Adam, Taylor, and Ryan captured every special moment we wanted without us ever feeling like we were taking time away from our friends and family. This is something we had multiple couples comment on after our wedding. Some of our friends mentioned that for their own weddings their photographers pulled them away at times to try and get the "perfect shot" and they felt it took away from the time they were able to spend with family and friends. Adam and his team knew how to capture all of the right moments and angles without ever needing to pull us away from our reception. This is something we hadn't initially thought of but appreciate SO much reflecting back on our wedding day.

Adam also worked with us on reschedules due to COVID-19 pandemic and made the process seamless and stress free.

We appreciate everything you did to make our wedding day the most memorable day of our lives.

Wedding Photography

My husband and I are very happy we chose Captivate Photo+Cinema to photograph our wedding day. I could tell from the beginning that Adam was going to be a great fit for us, he is easy to get along with and was up for a bit of adventure. Adam made sure we felt comfortable during both our engagement session and through our entire wedding day. Thankfully weather cooperate with us and we were able to have an outdoor winter ceremony. Adam took amazing photos and didn't seem to mind walking through the snow to get the perfect shot. Adam spent the whole day with us capturing so many important moments that we will cherish forever. The photos we received are so beautiful and I appreciate how quickly Adam was able to edit and send them to us. We had such a great experience with Adam and I would highly recommend Captivate Photo+Cinema! More...

Event Videography

"Adam and Taylor from Captivate over-delivered on every aspect of this production. Over the course of two days, they meticulously captured more than 20 pages of dialogue that we provided for use in an online training program. The attention to detail was apparent as soon as we entered the studio. Adam decided to shoot in his space and said he would turn his office into a full-out 'mixing studio' and he did just. Setting up sound panels, led lights, mixing boards and microphones all to create the effect of a professional sound studio. As soon as the cameras started rolling I knew we were in good hands. The technical knowledge Adam and Taylor showcased was impressive, to say the least. They even brought out a photographer on both days to capture some production stills which we used for promotional purposes. Once we were done, the team got to work on the editing. He provided rough cuts of the 20+ videos with detailed notes of where we would take the project from there. Once we agreed on the narrative, Adam started filling out the project with an interesting take on b-roll which helped to create a dynamic visual piece. The overlays and graphics used were modern and eye-catching and the final delivery was on time, on budget, and everything we had hoped for. Captivate was a pleasure to work with and their professionalism and skill were second to none. We look forward to working with them again as our project develops" More...

Q&As

The gear you are using is only a tool and doesn't make for a great photograph. It really comes down to the eye of the photographer holding the camera. Such aspects as lighting choice (natural light, shade, backlit, flash), as well as the lenses used and aperture will dramatically alter the quality of the image.

Creativity. We love to try new things and capture a great moment in time. As the owner, my job directly relates to connecting with people and finding an efficient way to take their photograph, tell their story and Captivate their audience.

I love collaboration but I also have a clear vision as to what I think is a great image or amazing video. I want to be able to grow and change with the landscape and being an entrepreneur was a natural career choice.

Captivate is a specialized company that can offer direct owner-to-client service. We have planted our roots in Niagara/GTA and continue to grow year after year. Our goal is to never become static or stale in our work. We want to push boundaries, cross frontiers, and create amazing content.
