Engagement Films in Toronto
Before the aisle. Before the big day. The story of how it all began.
Silver Leaf Weddings creates engagement films that feel authentic, elegant, and timeless — filmed in a documentary style and finished with refined cinematic visuals, just like our highlight films and full wedding films.
Whether you’re wandering downtown Toronto at golden hour or returning to the place you first met, we’ll craft an engagement video that captures real connection — no awkward staging, no forced moments.
What is an Engagement Film?
An Engagement Film is a short cinematic video (usually 2–3 minutes) that captures you as a couple before the wedding day — relaxed, yourselves, and fully present.
It pairs beautifully with our wedding videography packages and is perfect for:
Save-the-date announcements
Your wedding website
Reception playback
Sharing with family and friends

FAQs
-
An engagement film is a short cinematic video filmed before your wedding day that captures your relationship in a relaxed, natural way. Unlike wedding films, engagement films focus on connection, personality, and everyday moments — creating a timeless keepsake you can share long before the wedding.
-
Most engagement films are 1–2 minutes, designed to feel intentional and refined rather than long or overproduced. The length allows us to tell a meaningful story while keeping it perfect for sharing with family, friends, and online.
-
Not at all. Our approach is documentary-style, meaning we give light direction but never ask you to act or pose unnaturally. We focus on real interaction — conversation, movement, and moments that happen organically.
-
Engagement films can be shot anywhere meaningful to you — downtown Toronto, neighbourhood streets, parks, waterfronts, or a location tied to your story. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to recommend locations based on the look and feel you want.
-
We recommend neutral tones, minimal patterns, and outfits that feel like you. Comfort matters more than trend. Once booked, we’ll share simple wardrobe guidance to help your film look cohesive and timeless.

Most sessions run 1–2 hours, allowing time to explore a location, capture different moments, and work with natural light — without feeling rushed or staged.
-
Engagement films are typically delivered within 4-12 weeks, depending on the season. If you’re working toward a save-the-date or wedding website launch, let us know your timeline when inquiring.
-

We include engagement sessions for free in our Gold and Diamond Packages. *
Engagement films begin at $2,500, with final pricing depending on location, creative scope, and whether the session is bundled with a wedding film.
