Testimonials

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. What truly set Adam apart 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. 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. 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.

We recently worked with Adam & his team at Captivate to create three short fire safety videos. I was extremely impressed with how the entire project was handled from start to finish. There was clear and consistent communication throughout the entire process. Adam did an excellent job of letting us know exactly what to expect while helping us through the creative aspect of the project as he accurately brought our ideas to life. The quality of the videos was outstanding and the cost was extremely reasonable. I fully expect that our group will be working with Captivate again in the future.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Adam and the team at Captivate. From start to finish, they were professional, calming, and an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. Adam made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured every moment so naturally and beautifully. Nothing felt forced, and every detail, big and small, was documented perfectly. We are beyond grateful to have these memories to look back on forever!

Adam took on a large project for me and my business. I'm in healthcare and I'm an educator. I needed his services to make professional photos and videos of a 4 hour course/event. From helping me decipher the best plan for my needs, to his professional approach for communication, punctuality and set up, Adam made a nervous and stressful situation very easy. He was also very patient with my post-production needs. I will definitely hire him again!

I'm delighted to recommend Adam Stephenson of Captivate Photo and Cinema. Adam was an absolute pleasure to work with — professional, reliable, and wonderfully independent. He blended seamlessly into the event; at times we almost didn't know he was there, yet he managed to capture the full essence and energy of the conference. His photos were clear, polished, and beautifully creative, showcasing moments and details that truly reflected the spirit of the Advancing Women in Ag and Food Conference. Adam has a remarkable ability to tell a story through his lens, and his work exceeded our expectations.

We hired Captivate for our wedding celebration and the team (Adam, Taylor, and Blake) were fun, friendly and extremely professional. On the wedding day the team was on point and still managed to blend in. They did exactly what we envisioned for our video, as well had some creative and beautiful photos! Communication with Adam was perfect with zero hiccups. If you're looking for a team that's an expert in their field, I would 100% recommend Captivate Photo + Cinema for any wedding!

We hired CaptivatePhoto for our Nakkah. Adam was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. He was on time — by this I mean he was 15 minutes early. He was very professional. He helped a lot in organizing my wife and I's families for all the photos. He made sure that we all looked good. He was extremely friendly. We will definitely hire him again and recommend him whenever we get the chance.

Captivate developed a promotional video for our organization and made every step of the entire process easy and fun. Adam took our simple idea and ran with it and the creative vision that he and his team were able to build and accomplish was truly stellar. They handled all the sourcing and communication with the actors we needed. They organized and provided detailed plans for shooting. The quality of the final product is absolutely stunning, so much better than we could have ever hoped for. We're beyond happy with our decision to work with Captivate.

Absolutely loved working with Captivate for our wedding! From the first meeting, I really liked their vibe and attention to detail. We did an engagement shoot with them beforehand & Adam was able to make us feel relaxed & give great instruction without it feeling unnatural or inauthentic to our personalities. Day of the wedding, the team went above and beyond to get the shots that captured the specialness of the day & we love our photos + same day edit.

Captivate Photo + Cinema is phenomenal!! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Captivate and the incredible experience we had working with Adam, Taylor, Noah & Jay. From our engagement photos to the wedding itself, their talent and dedication shone through in every shot. One of the absolute highlights was the same-day video edit they created for our reception. It was such a hit! Seeing the day's most special moments play out on the big screen brought tears to everyone's eyes. Guests couldn't stop raving about it during and even after the wedding — it truly was a showstopper.

They had done my sister's videography back in 2015, and have done a few other weddings both my husband and I had been a part of in the meantime. We knew we needed them. From our first initial phone conversation, to everything in between, we knew we were in good hands. The quality of our photos and videography is unreal! As my husband and I look back on the footage, we realize moments we have forgotten about as the day came and went so quickly — and we're so thankful Captivate has it all for us to look back on.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Adam for our wedding at the Butterfly Conservatory. Our ceremony was more unique and intimate, and Adam went above and beyond, creating a custom package that was perfect for our needs. His creativity and insight into the perfect poses, along with his ability to capture every special moment from multiple angles, truly blew us away. We could tell that he was genuinely passionate about his art, and that made all the difference.

Adam really knows his stuff — about literally everything! Every meeting we had, Adam was very attentive to details and really listened to what we wanted and gave excellent advice. On our wedding day, Captivate was able to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the whole day and captured all of those precious moments that get forgotten about during the craziness. Our photos and highlight video turned out so beautifully and we couldn't be any more grateful for their work.

I hired Captivate to cover a 4 day youth summit at Brock University. There were a lot of moving pieces, details and schedules to work out — and they nailed it! Total pros with their approach and technique, capturing hours of footage and rendering high-energy, same-day sizzle reels. I highly recommend Adam, Bunny and team for any videography project. A++++

We had the pleasure of working with Adam and his team at Captivate to create a video for the Stouffville Fire & Emergency Services Door to Door program. Adam was highly organized and easily accessible throughout the entire process. His team's dedication and creativity brought our vision to life, exceeding our expectations. We were delighted to receive the finished product well ahead of schedule. We look forward to collaborating with Captivate on future projects.

A big thank you to Adam, Nick and Blake for the amazing photos on our wedding day. The team was extremely professional and helped both parties feel comfortable in front of the camera, capturing amazing candid moments from getting ready to the reception. We opted for the video as well, and Taylor on editing did an absolutely amazing job, incorporating our favourite songs and shots. We cannot recommend them enough.

When sourcing a company to produce an updated company promotional video, we had some unique requirements. Adam and his team were extremely accommodating, worked within our script/shot list, and provided key insight on ways to improve. On shoot days, the team arrived prepared with any equipment you could possibly need — drones, a multitude of lighting options both interior and exterior. The end result produced a product that has exceeded expectations and will undoubtedly provide a significant return on investment.

Adam and Taylor at Captivate are incredible! We were lucky enough to book them for our destination wedding to the DR and the images they created were nothing less than spectacular. Their calm and positive presence on our wedding day left me feeling way more at peace than I was expecting to be. I cannot say enough positive things about them. 100/10 would recommend.

Adam and the entire team at Captivate are absolutely incredible. We had the pleasure of having them capture our memories on both days of our Hindu and Canadian weddings and we could not be more pleased. They are so kind, genuine, and professional. They have excellent expertise, are creative, and are so much fun to work with. We are so grateful for all that they did to capture our memories.

Adam was amazing to work with. From the project prep phase to actual delivery, our entire experience was seamless. We have an internal team and normally don't work with external videographers but after our experience with Adam, he will be the first person we contact when we need outside videography help in the future. Thank you, Captivate!

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. 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. Adam helped corral our large families so we could get the big group family photos we wanted very quickly, leaving us with enough time to capture moments with our bridal party. Throughout the entire day, the team captured every special moment we wanted without us ever feeling like we were taking time away from our friends and family. Adam also worked with us on reschedules due to COVID-19 and made the process seamless and stress free.

The Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake retained Captivate Photo+Cinema to create a video focusing on key tourism assets in the community. Adam was great to work with and a very talented videographer. I would recommend hiring Captivate for all your video needs.

We had a truly amazing experience with the team at Captivate. Our initial meeting with Adam proved so valuable as he listened to our wedding vision and took the time and effort to figure out which one of his talented photographers would make the best fit. We had the pleasure of having Ami as our photographer. She made us feel at ease and captured us at our best and most natural. We are beyond grateful to Ami and will treasure our wedding photos for years to come. It was the greatest day of our lives and we cannot thank Captivate enough.

Adam and his team were some of the most professional individuals I have had the chance to work with. Prior to my experience working with Adam, I had very little knowledge of video production. Adam worked closely with us during the entire process and has produced an exceptional product delivering exactly what we were working for. I would absolutely work with Adam and his team again on any future projects.
