Branden Murphy: Toronto and the GTA Wedding Videographer

BRANDEN MURPHY

+ Wedding Videographer
+ Wedding Film Editor

I started with Parallel Weddings at the end of 2016 after graduating from Humber College's Film and TV Production Program (along with Nadeem + Jordan!). I’ve always had a passion for film-making, and Parallel allows me to create dozens of individualized films every year! What else could I ask for!?

I’ve been working with video for as long as I can remember; I started editing when I was just 10 years old on Windows Movie Maker! A lot of those videos are on YouTube but I certainly won’t be linking to them! Growing up I was a member of my church’s media team, and I took all the film courses I could in high school (again, making lots of videos I hope you never see!).

I got married in 2019 to the silliest, brightest, most light-hearted girl who never fails to make me laugh, and has been making my life exponentially better with every passing day! And she’s pretty cute too :) We met on a band’s Facebook page when I was in Grade 11 (2011). The crazy part is she lived in Brazil! We slowly became friends over the next few years and then at the end of 2014 I flew there to meet her! So we spent a lot of years long-distance, but we made it work, and I couldn’t be happier to finally have her here with me in Canada!!

I know this might make me seem a little one-dimensional but most of my passions and interests are film-related! I’m obsessed with TV and movies; watching as much as I can: I’ve rated over 10,000 titles on IMDb. This is actually something I’m sadly proud of haha I also follow the Oscars like it’s the NBA, I keep up with predictions and try to watch all the nominees and we even have a party every year for the show! Oh, and I own every Best Picture winner since 1928. My wife Larissa also has a YouTube channel, so my other hobby is helping her edit and I’m even in her videos sometimes too! It’s a little challenging because her channel is all Portuguese but people seem to love watching me struggle to speak!

I’m extremely proud of the Parallel Team and all that we have created so far and I’m excited to continue to shoot and edit beautiful, cinematic wedding films!

Elora Wedding Videographer: Review at Elora Mill

Review: Parallel Productions was absolutely amazing to work with and was easily one of our top vendors of the night! They are professional, courteous and talented at their work. Above all, you can tell they have a passion for their craft and truly care about the people they are serving. From communication and coordination all the way through to execution, Parallel exceeded our expectations and made this part of our wedding so smooth and enjoyable. We would highly recommend Branden and his team for any videography needs!

Elora Wedding Videographer and Photographer: Review at Elora Mill

Joe and I's experience with Parallel was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. We had both photo and video for our wedding through Parallel and from the very first email inquiring to now post wedding I have only amazing things to say. Larissa, who coordinates everything and is the main point of contact is extremely organized and made the entire process to easy for us. She kept us organized and ensured everything was taken care of and we are aware of every detail and timeline post wedding. The wedding itself was great. Branden and Nadeem are super stars. It was so lovely to work with them day of and so stress-free. They captured every single detail, suggested what shots to do, and are so incredibly talented and experienced in what they do. I would recommend them over and over to anyone! Thank you Parallel team for capturing one of the best days of our lives!

Day After the Wedding Feedback: Wow. Where do I begin.. Nadeem and Branden were phenomenal!

Before the wedding itself they were calm, cool, and helped so much in keeping me calm and cool! I appreciated their demeanour so much. They were everywhere all at once and I am amazed at the amount of footage they covered without me even noticing them. They were extremely professional throughout and just a joy to work with. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and I am extremely grateful for that. The raw footage itself is BEAUTIFUL - Joe and I have stayed up many nights since receiving the footage just reliving the day. The many camera angles, the hidden shots, the staged shots - WOW!!! They captured Joe and I’d fairytale in such a beautiful way.

I mentioned this to them as well, but also such a big thank you to YOU [Larissa]! You’ve kept me on top of everything for the past year and I thank you for being so organized and so extremely kind throughout. I felt extremely supported throughout the process and was not stressed at all. Everyone needs a Larissa!!

A big thank you to all three of you, from the bottom of my heart.

Film Reaction: I cannot praise you all enough. The wedding film is ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. The music, the editing, the shots, everything is amazing. We are beyond happy and pleased.

Once again I want to echo the work you all have done. From the communications throughout the process, to the professionalism the day of, to the photos and videos captured, the editing. We are extremely pleased and I really do think everyone should book you for their weddings!!!

Thank you to all of you, from the bottom of our hearts, for capturing the best day of our life and playing such a key role in preserving the memories for us forever. We cannot thank you enough.

Photo Reaction: Nadeem, WOW! You are so extremely talented - these are stunning, I can’t stop staring at them!!! A million thank you’s from Joe and I.
