Dmitry Zhelezny
Crafting emotive and authentic wedding photography and videography in Ontario
Storytellers Films
It’s our corner of our wedding videography and photography world! We’re based right here in the vibrant heart of Toronto, Ontario.
My lens has captured love stories across the globe, from the enchanting landscapes of Canada and the United States to the picturesque backdrops of Sweden, Russia, Georgia, and Sri Lanka. Each wedding, each couple, holds a unique tale, and I feel privileged to freeze those precious moments in time.
In 2022, I was honored to be recognized as one of the Top 100 Best Wedding Filmmakers by Top100Awards.
Meet the Team
Enough about me — let me introduce you to the rest of the team! I’m fortunate to work with this group of talented individuals who are always honing their creative skills. We collaborate, learn from each other, share our experiences, and keep growing together.
Veronika
Lead videographer
She lived in Bali for almost two years, where she met Dmitry, and later they got married in Georgia. Having travelled to over 10 countries, she loves riding motorbikes and is an incredible cook. A big fan of travel — or at least a good picnic when Dima’s not up for an adventure! She’s always documenting their journeys.
Alex
Lead photographer
After photographing weddings across Europe, she’s now capturing love stories in Canada. She’s passionate about travel, meeting new people, and stays calm under pressure, always finding the right approach for everyone. Kids love her because they see the same curiosity for discovering the world. Want to be her friend? Bring some Asian food, and let’s go catch a movie!
Ryan
Lead videographer
Born and raised in Southern Ontario, Ryan has filmed weddings and creative projects around the world. He is inspired by the power of video to help couples relive the emotions and experiences of one of the most important days of their lives. When he’s not working, you can find Ryan experimenting with new recipes or making music.
Cassie
Lead photographer
Most people call her Cassie, but you can also call her Cass! Like many of the couples she photographs, she totally gets that being in front of the camera can feel a little awkward at first—but trust her, you’ll warm up to it together. Her goal is to create a comfortable, fun atmosphere where you can truly be yourselves, so your photos feel natural, timeless, and full of genuine emotion.
Wei Jia Ni
Lead videographer
He finds joy in every moment of a wedding day—from the quiet, heartfelt exchanges to the lively celebrations on the dance floor. As a sentimental touch, he loves collecting small keepsakes from his work, like unique table cards, as reminders of the wonderful couples he’s been honored to work with.
Oleg
Lead videographer
Spent 7 years living in the U.S., once thinking he’d become a chef but ended up a videographer. He finds inspiration in great coffee shops! He loves things that seem opposite at first glance — like yoga and philosophy alongside heavy metal. But it’s in this contrast where he always finds joy and creativity!
In our wedding photos and videos, we focus on storytelling. Our goal is to capture your day as it naturally happens, highlighting the unique bond between you two. We aim to tell your story from an observer’s perspective, without interrupting the flow of your wedding. That’s why my team and I are called Storytellers.
