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!
