Steve and Becca’s Belcroft Estate Wedding Film: A Country Celebration Full of Heart

There are some weddings where the venue, the people, and the energy all click into place. Becca and Steve’s Belcroft Estate wedding was one of those days—romantic, a little wild on the dance floor, and completely them.

Belcroft Estate, just north of Toronto, is already a dream backdrop for a wedding film. Tree-lined lanes, open fields, and a historic barn give you that “destination” feeling without leaving Ontario. Add two people who can’t stop laughing together, and you’ve got a story we were very excited to tell.

A Walk Down the Tree-Lined Lane

One of our favourite moments from their film happens before guests even see them.

Becca and Steve slipped away to the tree-lined path that runs through Belcroft’s property. The sky was soft, the leaves just starting to turn, and everything went quiet for a second. No speeches, no timeline—just the two of them exhaling and taking it all in.

For video, this kind of space matters. The long path pulls your eye straight to them, so every frame feels intimate even though we’re outdoors. Their kiss in the middle of that lane became a visual motif we came back to throughout the edit—calm, grounded, and completely in love.

Saying “I Do” Under the Trees

Belcroft’s outdoor ceremony space is tucked under a canopy of trees, and it felt like the perfect setting for Becca and Steve’s vows.

Guests gathered along the aisle in white chairs, framed by greenery and florals. When the ceremony finished, Steve dipped Becca into a kiss as their friends and family stood and cheered around them. It’s the kind of moment you feel in real time, but it’s also exactly what we’re looking for as filmmakers: movement, emotion, and a crowd reacting all at once.

Later, their “you may now kiss the bride” moment happened between two classic white doors dressed in greenery—a simple detail that looked incredible on camera. The doors gave the ceremony a sense of entrance and exit, like they were literally stepping into this new chapter together.

A Barn Reception That Turned Into a Party

If you’ve ever wondered whether a barn wedding can feel elevated and cinematic—the answer is yes.

As the sun went down, everyone headed into Belcroft’s barn for the reception. Warm light, wood beams, and a sparkling chandelier overhead created a cozy, golden glow that made the dance floor feel like its own little universe.

At some point in the night, the energy shifted from “wedding reception” to “full-blown celebration.” The room erupted into the Horah, and Becca and Steve were lifted into the air—chairs and all—surrounded by friends shouting, dancing, and clapping under the chandelier. Those shots are pure movement and joy—exactly the kind of footage that makes a wedding film feel alive.

Portraits Around the Estate

Between the ceremony and reception, we wandered across the property with Becca and Steve—just enough time for them to breathe, sip a drink, and let us steal a few more frames.

• A quiet kiss on the same tree-lined path, now with leaves scattered underfoot.

• A wide drone-style perspective of them in front of the barn, its warm light glowing from inside while greenery climbs the exterior.

• Small gestures you might miss in real time—her hand on his lapel, his thumb tracing her shoulder, the way they look at each other right after a joke.

These are the moments that become the emotional spine of the film. When we cut between their vows, the cheers of their guests, and these quieter portraits, you really feel the day rather than just watching it.

Why We Love Filming at Belcroft Estate

From a videographer’s perspective, Belcroft Estate is a bit of a playground:

• Varied backdrops in one location – orchards, lanes, open fields, and the barn mean your film never feels like it was shot in one corner of a property.

• Soft, flattering light – the tree canopy and open sky create beautiful natural light for both video and photos.

• Indoor–outdoor flow – moving from outdoor ceremony to barn reception gives your film a natural arc: quiet, emotional beginnings that build into a high-energy finale.

For couples planning a Belcroft Estate wedding, it’s the ideal spot if you love the idea of a countryside celebration that still feels modern and timeless on camera.

Our Approach to Becca & Steve’s Wedding Film

With Becca and Steve, our goal was to create something that felt like them: relaxed, joyful, and just a little bit cinematic.

• We kept our direction light so they could stay present with each other and their guests.

• We focused on authentic audio—vows, speeches, and off-hand comments that reveal their personalities.

• We layered in wide establishing shots of the estate so the film always feels grounded in place.

The result is a wedding film that doesn’t just show what happened at Belcroft Estate—it lets you feel what it was like to be there.

Alexandra and Vincenzo’s Modern Classic Mississauga Wedding

From the very first email, Alexandra and Vincenzo made one thing clear: they wanted their day to feel timeless, but their film to feel modern, cinematic, and full of movement. Their Mississauga wedding gave us the perfect canvas—sleek hotel suites, a light-filled church, a tree-lined park, and a reception space that transformed into a full-on celebration.

Getting Ready at the Hilton

The day started at Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale, where the energy in Alex’s suite was already buzzing. Bridesmaids in soft lavender gowns gathered around as she stepped into her gown—clean lines, a long veil, and a train that moved like water every time she turned.

One of our favourite moments to film was the first look with her dad. The door opened, he stepped in, and for a second you can see him trying to take it all in—his daughter in her dress, bouquet in hand, veil catching the window light. It’s the kind of reaction we love building a film around: no script, no posing, just honest emotion.

Around the corner, Vince was having his own moment with his guys. Champagne glasses clinked, jackets were straightened, and toasts were made in the hotel suite. That short sequence—bowties, cufflinks, laughter, and a quick “cheers” before heading out—set the tone for his side of the story: calm, classic, and quietly excited.

These getting-ready spaces at the Hilton gave us clean lines and neutral tones, which let every emotion sit front and center on screen.

A Heartfelt Ceremony at St. Eugene Church

From there, everyone headed to St. Eugene Church for the ceremony.

Inside, the light poured in through high windows, glowing off the cream-coloured walls and polished floors. Vince waited at the front, framed by florals and the architecture of the altar. There’s a moment in the film where we hold on his face just long enough to see the anticipation—eyes fixed on the doors, a tiny smile he can’t quite hide.

When Alex finally appeared at the end of the aisle, veil trailing behind her, everything else blurred away. Guests rose, bouquets shifted into frame, and the sound of the processional wrapped around the whole space. It’s a scene built for a wedding film: layers of movement, music, and reaction woven together as she walked toward him.

Their vows and the quiet glances they exchanged up at the front gave us all the ingredients we love: emotion, storytelling, and a sense of place that feels distinctly St. Eugene.

Outside the church, the full wedding party gathered on the steps for portraits—lavender bridesmaids, classic black tuxes, and Alex and Vince right in the middle, stealing a kiss while everyone cheered around them. It’s one of those frames that says “we did it” without a single word.

Portraits on the Bridge at Charles F. Watson Family Park

After the ceremony, we headed to Charles F. Watson Family Park for photos and video.

The park’s wooden bridge, surrounded by layers of green, became our main stage. From above, Alex and Vince looked like they were in their own world—her train perfectly fanned out, his arms around her as they kissed at the center of the bridge.

We worked that space from every angle: wide, sweeping shots that showed off the architecture and trees, and then tighter, intimate moments where you can see the way they look at each other. The park’s paths and greenery gave us motion to play with, too—bridal party members walking past while Alex and Vince stayed locked in a kiss, creating that cinematic “time stands still for us” feeling.

If you’re planning portraits in Mississauga, Charles F. Watson Family Park is such a hidden gem—especially if you love a natural backdrop that still feels structured and design-forward on film.

An Elegant Reception at Mississauga Convention Centre

As the sun dipped, we made our way to the Mississauga Convention Centre for the reception—and this is where their film really shifts gears.

The ballroom was dressed in white florals, candles, and greenery, with the head table framed by flowers and soft draping. It felt modern and romantic at the same time, which is a sweet spot we always look for in reception spaces.

Their first dance was straight out of a movie. Low-lying fog rolled across the dance floor while cold sparklers shot up behind them, turning the room into a glowing, cinematic set. Alex’s dress caught the light with every spin, and Vince twirled her through the haze like they’d been rehearsing for a music video.

Guests watched, phones out, but the camera stayed focused on them—hands intertwined, smiling, laughing, leaning into each other like it was just the two of them in the room.

The rest of the night was a blur in the best way: heartfelt speeches, glasses raised, and a packed dance floor. All of those little in-between moments—hugs between family members, friends wiping away tears of laughter, Alex and Vince sneaking in quick kisses at the head table—became the heartbeat of their film.

Why This Day Works So Well on Film

Alex and Vince’s wedding is a perfect example of how thoughtful locations can shape a wedding film:

• Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale for clean, modern getting-ready footage

• St. Eugene Church for a classic, light-filled ceremony

• Charles F. Watson Family Park for romantic portraits on that striking wooden bridge

• Mississauga Convention Centre for an elevated reception with plenty of room for design, lighting, and dance-floor energy

We leaned into movement, emotion, and transitions between these spaces so their final film feels like one continuous, unfolding story—not just a highlight reel.

If you’re planning a wedding at St. Eugene Church, Mississauga Convention Centre, or anywhere around Mississauga and want a film that feels cinematic but still true to who you are, we’d love to document it the way we did for Alex and Vince—quiet glances, big celebrations, and every moment in between.

Saying “I Do” Somewhere Else: A Destination Wedding Film from Anywhere You Dream

There’s something about a destination wedding that lingers in the soul long after the last glass of champagne is poured. Maybe it’s the light—softer, more golden in places like Italy’s Amalfi Coast, the Provence countryside, or the rolling vineyards of Burgundy. Or maybe it’s the sound of waves brushing the shore in Tulum, Saint Lucia, or Puglia, mingling with laughter and music under the stars.

Wherever it is, a destination wedding is never just about the place. It’s about the feeling. And our job as filmmakers is to capture not just what it looked like—but what it felt like to be there.

Destination Wedding Videography, the Gauche Way

At Gauche Weddings, we approach each wedding like a story waiting to be told, steeped in mood, movement, and meaning. Whether it’s an elopement on a clifftop in Positano or a grand affair in a château outside Paris, we blend fine art cinematography with honest, emotional storytelling to craft something that feels timeless—and utterly you.

And if your dream is a wedding somewhere far from home? We’re already packing our bags.

Dreaming of Italy or France? So Are We.

Some places call to us louder than others. For years, we’ve envisioned capturing weddings among:

• The lavender fields of Provence

• Sun-drenched villas in Tuscany

• Historic cobblestone courtyards in Florence

• Lake Como boat rides with champagne flutes and silk veils floating in the wind

• Parisian rooftops at golden hour

There’s something cinematic about Europe that speaks to our style. But we’re equally enchanted by warm, oceanside destinations—places where the sky melts into the sea and celebration lingers long after sunset.

Beaches, Bougainvillea & Barefoot Ceremonies

If your vision leans more barefoot than ballroom, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Barbados, or Costa Rica are beautiful, cinematic playgrounds. From sunrise first looks on the sand to late-night dance floors under fairy lights and palms, we know how to capture destination weddings with both intimacy and atmosphere.

We’ve filmed in remote places and bustling ones, and no matter the location, we bring the same passion, preparedness, and artistic eye.|

The ceremony at The Foundry, with its soaring ceilings and intimate warmth, unfolded like a sacred poem. Live music from the Soenen Sisters set the tone as guests gathered. The walk down the aisle was slow and reverent, but it wasn’t stiff. It was real. Emotional. You could feel it in the air—that ripple of something bigger.
