  • Ruchi + Sunny Next/Same Day Edit – Bollywood Medley

    In our 6 years of producing wedding films, we have met a wide variety of couples. Each unique, from character and personality to the style of wedding they desire, and even the finer details in between like their tastes in music.

    When Ruchi and Sunny met us a year ago, they made it very clear that they are both a “Bollywood”- oriented couple. Ruchi’s personal flare easily convinced us of this, but it was a little bit harder for us to notice this trait in Sunny. His job with the United Nations did an especially good job of masking this, as it seemed to us that you couldn’t find a more humble, unpretentious guy.

    We met once in person, and due to their very busy schedules, we relied heavily on Skype to coordinate throughout the year. During the course of our meetings, we also came up with an exciting concept film idea that would take us to Europe all the way to the warm Caribbean. Unfortunately, due to conflicting schedules that did not quite materialize as planned.

    However, after a year of conversations over Skype, their special day finally arrived. Their Sangeet was held at the Eglinton Grande and it definitely encompassed the Bollywood-theme. Among numerous memorable moments, the event’s main highlight was unquestionably Sunny’s singing of “Tujhe Dekha to Ye Jana Sanam”- just so that he could be allowed in by his blushing bride’s family.

    As Bollywood weddings go, the Sangeet heralded an incredibly fun, colorful and traditional wedding ceremony and reception. Since it was our job to capture the magic of these moments on film, we did our best to do so by employing an approach that, to our knowledge, has not been previously used.

    So sit back, relax and enjoy our Bollywood-inspired special.

  • Sana + Fahad – Next Day Edit – Filmed on BlackMagic Cinema Camera

    After travelling around the world for the past 5 months, we are finally back at home front to do our first wedding in Canada. Although, we had blast travelling and meeting new people, home is after all home.

    Sana + Fahad are a very simple yet elegant couple. Sana’s personality lies is on the shy side, whereas Fahad’s personality falls more on the leadership side. He knows what she wants and makes sure he takes care of it. Both’s personality compliments each other very nicely which you will see in the next day edit

    To add to that, this Next Day Edit, as well as the final wedding film is the first wedding to be filmed on the Black Magic Cinema Cameras. The quality of these camera is far beyond than it’s DSLR counterparts.

  • Destination United Kingdom – Ayesha + Amir – Next/Same Day Edit

    As we travel through the world to produce concept and wedding films for couples, one thing that stays consistent in our experiences is the tourist observation.

    During the last eight months, we skyped with Ayesha and Amir over a dozen times to get to know their story and personality. Most of our meetings were with Ayesha due to Amir’s busy schedule at work. Not to take it away from Ayesha, who would finish her work late in the morning at the hospital and then will have the energy to talk for almost an hour at 3 am GMT time.

    In this world, there are people who take time to open up to others but Ayesha and Amir don’t belong in that category. From our initial conversations, we hit off really well with them. A couple full of life, energy and humbleness.

  • Concept Film: Let’s Explore London

    As we travel through the world to produce concept and wedding films for couples, one thing that stays consistent in our experiences is the tourist observation. We always want to integrate a bit of that in our concept films but including the couple’s story or personality being the integral part.

    During the last eight months, we skyped with Ayesha and her fiance over a dozen times to get to know their story and personality. At times, it was a challenge for us to come up with something unique that reflects them as well. In our countless conversations, one aspect that stood out the most was their busy careers and travelling schedule. They traveled quite a lot for their work, one thing they never did together was explore London. And we took that very basic idea and turned into something very entertaining that we feel is a look inside London.

  • Concept Film: Remembering Paris

    Why is Paris called City of Love? There are dozens of ways to explain that but the universal reason is because this is where each year millions of people come to spend romantic time. Most of them are married or in a relationship or about to get engaged. But then there are those rare cases where people meet for the first time and fall in love to be married.

    Samir & Susan who’s background is from India reside in United States and Paris. Samir is a Car enthusiast who makes his living by running a website for a small community in Alabama. On the contrary, Susan moved to Paris to continue her studies. So how did they meet in Paris? By meeting online first. Both met online and chatted not long before they decided to meet.

    We spent countless hours on Skype with them. The purpose was simple. Not only to understand their story but to learn more about them as a couple before we traveled to India for their wedding.

    This past December, our crew flew down to Paris with the couple to film ‘Remembering Paris’. Coming up soon is their wedding film, that was shot in Bangalore, India.

  • Safi + Sahar – Wedding / Reception – Official Trailer

    In order to produce a good wedding film, it is imperative that both the groom and the bride are involved in their wedding as if it was their passion. It makes a huge difference. And folks it’s not just about us able to capture the memorable moments but it’s primarily the people in those moments. If one is quiet and the other is chirpy, it just doesn’t translate very well on the screen.

    Safi + Sahar are similar to almost every one of our couple but have a unique chemistry. One loves to crack jokes and the other loves to laugh even when she is dealing with a stress situation. That doesn’t mean that they don’t take their life seriously.

    Although, we had a strong sense of that when we met them but to our surprise, they were very much like that even during their wedding festivities. We wish them all the best.

  • Dillagi – Thank You 2012 Couples // Welcome 2013 Couples

    Last year, we paid tribute to our 2011 couples and welcomed our 2012 Couples. This year, we want to continue the tradition and pay thanks to our magnificent 2012 couples as welcome our exciting 2013 couples.

    This film is created in tribute to all the couples of 2012 who inspired us to be better everyday.

  • Shayan + Sri – Official Reception Trailer

    Working with creative couples has it’s own unique taste. Both Shayan + Sri and their siblings are all singers, one of which has a professional album coming out soon. On top of that both of their siblings have strong interest in film production, dancing and writing. Sri must consider doing voiceover as he has a very distinct and elegant voice.

    Shayan + Sri consulted with us sometime ago and upon first meeting, we knew that it would be a treat work with them. Aside from being creative, they are both so soft spoken, calm and humble individuals. They are one of those people who you actually want to listen to and await for their next selection of words.

    And the chemistry between them is so silent that it screams nothing but love. We feel that the following Next Day Edit truly captured this personality and their wedding story.

  • Nupur + Arup – Official Reception Trailer

    As we are travelling across Canada for a very special project under our parent company Sky Blue Productions, we couldn’t resist but share Nupur + Arup Reception trailer. Currently, we are in Whistler, BC with some beautiful views. We will keep you in the loop about this project but for now enjoy this, before we head to Europe for another special project.

    In life everything happens for a reason. And there was a reason, we started to meet Nupur 2 and a half years ago. Between then and now, we have met Nupur at almost a dozen weddings and she was an integral part for some of them. If you are a follower of our work, I am sure you have seen her in countless videos of ours. But among everything the most amazing stat is that she had to be a bridesmaid 27 times before her turn can come.
    Nupur officially signed with us last year and her fiancee at the time Arup who works in New York was unable to meet us due to his busy schedule. At last when we did meet him, we realized why Nupur connected with him so well. A Cool, Calm and Composed customer.

    Like any story, everything was leading up perfectly to their wedding date until Hurricane Sandy struck on the east coast. As per Nupur herself, “the pandit declared that the wedding has to happen with or without him”, naturally causing a stir. But our groom managed to arrive just a day before the festivities began.
    Now that would have been challenging wedding to attend and edit for us too. Our heartfelt congratulations to the amazing Nupur and Arup. And much much thank you for allowing us to cover their special day which reunited us with 10 of our past couples.

    You can watch their Next Day Edit here. For their Reception Trailer, we wanted to do something very special for Nupur. Having document almost a dozen weddings where she was a guest, half of those she played an integral part at. Keeping that in mind, we pulled of a surprise for her.

  • Shayan + Sri – Next Day Edit

    Working with creative couples has it’s own unique taste. Both Shayan + Sri and their siblings are all singers, one of which has a professional album coming out soon. On top of that both of their siblings have strong interest in film production, dancing and writing. Sri must consider doing voiceover as he has a very distinct and elegant voice.

  • Amisha + Niranjan – Same Day Edit

    As Amisha said in her speech, “if someone had told me in January of this year, that I was going to get married in 11 months, i would have been like, whatever”. We all talk about how time is required to get to know your partner before you can tie the knot, but when fate comes into play, you either need next to no time or little time to make your decision. Especially when the groom, in this case Niranjan, says “dude after meeting her, I realized she is exactly like me”.

    And if words are not enough to prove it, you will definitely see that in our Same Day Edit. Both happy campers, full of energy and life. Especially in case of Niranjan, it appeared he was on caffeine all day long but that truly is his personality and Amisha’s as well.

    We wish them all the best.

  • Saad + Komal – Official Wedding Trailer

    The best thing about weddings is that the most unexpected things take place. At times, a couple’s friends pull off a special performance or a family member says something embracing about them. In the case of Saad + Komal, it was something Saad did at the wedding reception. And it was something so special that we made sure it was included in the next/same day edit. So we literary had 23 minutes on the mark to get at least 30 seconds worth of shots in the final edit. What did he do? We will leave for you to figure out.

    Now going back to the couple. For us it’s so important to meet and talk to the couple before anything. We don’t take any steps until there is a casual discussion. And most of our couples are working either outside of Toronto, Canada or even in some cases outside of North America. It becomes difficult to communicate with them. But like I said, it’s so important that we will make sure it happens.

    Although Saad + Komal are both Torontonians, Komal has been in New York for a while for work and education purposes. We did meet Saad in person but ended up skyping with Komal during our meeting. And at times it can be difficult to feel a connection with the couple and especially, when they are not together. However, there is such great chemistry between these two that it was a walk in the park. We skyped/met once and after that things were set to roll.

    And what connects them in our opinion. His calmness and her simplicity brings them together. Enjoy.
