ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Axcel the creative force behind Dilectio Films, where I specialize in creating timeless and emotionally rich wedding films. My passion lies in discovering the beauty in the ordinary, the poetry in the details, and the authenticity in unscripted moments. Through my lens, I connect the fleeting present with the timeless past, crafting unique stories that truly resonate. As a registered nurse by weekday and a passionate cinematic wedding videographer by weekend. From Monday to Thursday, I care for people in a clinical setting, and from Thursday to Sunday, I tell beautiful love stories through my lens. It’s a unique mix, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!
My experience as a nurse has taught me how to connect with people, handle high-pressure situations, and stay calm no matter what. These skills are my superpower on wedding days, where emotions are high, schedules can get tight, and the moments are fleeting. I take pride in creating a seamless and joyful experience for my couples, capturing every laugh, tear, and special glance with care and precision.
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me enjoying two of my favorite things: football and grilling. Whether I’m cheering on my team or flipping burgers with friends and family, these moments remind me how important it is to celebrate life’s simple joys—the same joy I aim to capture in your wedding story.
Let’s create something unforgettable together. Your love story deserves to be celebrated in the most beautiful way, and I’d be honored to be a part of it!

Celebrating Every Style of Love
With over 5 years of experience in wedding videography, I have had the privilege of capturing love stories across Toronto and beyond. From intimate garden ceremonies to grand cultural celebrations, every wedding is a unique reflection of the couple’s journey. Whether it’s an elopement in a quiet park or a lively reception with hundreds of guests, my approach adapts to the style and atmosphere of your special day, ensuring every beautiful moment is preserved.
Cinematic Excellence in Every Frame
Wedding videography is more than just recording events—it’s about telling a story. Using state-of-the-art cameras, professional audio equipment, and breathtaking drone technology, I create cinematic films that bring your love story to life. From heartfelt vows to the joy of your first dance, I carefully weave together moments to produce a film that feels as timeless as the love it celebrates. Every detail, from color grading to sound design, is handled with precision to ensure a stunning final product.
Focused on You
I believe that capturing your wedding day starts with understanding your vision. Building a strong relationship with every couple is a cornerstone of my work. From our initial consultation to the delivery of your wedding film, I’ll be there to guide you through the process, answer your questions, and ensure you feel at ease. My commitment to open communication and collaboration helps turn the vision of your perfect wedding film into a reality. Many of my clients share that by the end of their wedding day, I felt like part of the family—a compliment I hold close to my heart.
