  • Ritu + Sumit – Next Day Edit

    Ritu and Sumit are the kind of couple one can’t help but fall in love with- simply by observing how profoundly captivated they are by each other. While their wedding was vibrant, full of colors and traditional sounds, good company and delicious tastes- it was an occasion worth celebrating because of the feel-good, harmonizing energy between the couple.

    We have worked with the family on nearly a dozen weddings. Our last with them was 2 years ago, so it was a pleasure to see yet another couple in the family achieve this milestone together.

    The pre-wedding festivities were warm, light-hearted and fun; Ritu and Summit truly seemed to share in each other’s shining-eyed excitement. Their creative baraat was an exceptional way to up the ante for the bride’s entrance and nervous as she might have been as she walked through those doors- her eyes never left Summit’s. Their remarkable chemistry undoubtedly provided a most satisfying ambience for the ceremony.

    Their wedding was full of character, and the atmosphere one of love. Together, Ritu and Summit were celebrated not only for the spectacular time they provided their guests, but for the privilege all present were bestowed in seeing love at its best- youthful, fresh and passionate.

  • Farrah + Saed – Next Day Edit – Featuring ‘Classic Bollywood 70s’ Music

    We film about 15-17 weddings every year and we meet couples who are obviously in love. Some express their love to each other with pride while other are more private.

    When it comes to groom to be, rarely we have met anyone who is as expressive as Saed. He is literary one of those guys won’t feel awkward expressing his love for his wife in front of his male friends. A true lover.

    And for Farah she is one of the most down to earth girls, we have ever met. She is a smart, intellectual and most of all very loving to people around her.

    As a couple, they have such strong energy that just attracts everyone around them.

    Now, we had to make sure that we produce a Next Day Edit by keeping all of the above in mind. The question was to make something that spots on tell their personalities. And to do so, we took a huge and I am hoping a successful risk.

    To my knowledge, there hasn’t been a contemporary wedding film featuring classic 70s Bollywood Music. And those who listen to 70s Bollywood music, know that it was one of the most romantic era of Bollywood songs. The music, the poetry and the singers are rarely found these days.

    And how does that connects to Farrah and Saed? Pure simple. Saed’s unconditional and expressive love for his wife is expressed via this beautiful song and lyrics.

  • Destination – Punta Cana – Fiona + Ricky – Official Trailer – Part 2

    Before I talk about the couple or the wedding, let me clearly explain the “Part 2″ in the title. Ricky & Fiona had another wedding a month before this one in Toronto (we will be showcasing that eventually). That will be “Part 1″. Just wanted to show the sequel before the original:)

    It is very rare that we get last minute bookings but whenever we do, most of the time, they turn out to be an amazing experience. Having seen our work at Saif + Somi’s wedding, Ricky & Fiona immediately decided to avail our services for both their local and destination weddings.

    In almost every relationship, there is always one person who is more energetic or outgoing than the other one until of course with time, they both become very similar. In this case, Ricky is the more up beat and always looking for an adventure. Fiona on the other hand is a little different but is willing to tag along with all of Ricky’s crazies ideas.

    We were in Punta Cana’s Majestic Elegance resort for almost a week and the wedding festivities occurred for almost a day. The rest of the time, the bridal party spent their time at the beach, pool and outdoor activities.

    Although, we try to differentiate as much as possible from our previous works, here, we tried to make this an extremely different film.

    We hope you enjoy it

  • Simmy + Harmeet – Next Day Edit

    Simmy + Harmeet came to us rather late than many other couples. Unlike others who come to us at least a year or earlier in advance, they approached us just 6 months ago to date. And luckily we were open to one of the most demanding long weekend every year. The July 1st weekend.

    Once all was said and done, we stayed in touch with the couple a few times over emails which is normally a lot less than how we connect but luckily it all worked out nice.

    An amazing couple with down to earth personalities but high expectations. Let’s hope we met theirs.

  • Mohit + Kajal – Same Day Edit

    In the world of south asian weddings, it is rare to see a same day wedding ceremony and reception. It does happen but rarely because there is this fear of things getting delayed (which happens also) and then everything gets pushed forward.

    We have had the pleasure of working on quite a bit of Same Day Weddings and are always intrigued by how the couple transforms from something more traditional to contemporary. The outfits and make up change, the decor changes, everyone dresses differently but what remains constant are people.

    Mohit and Khosla’s wedding was full of emotional moments and we had the honour of capturing it. And what made our job perhaps challenging and interesting is that it was a same day wedding. Like all Same Day Weddings, the pressure is a lot more on us since we have only 4 odd hours to put everything together to show the Same Day Edit at the reception. And this case was no different.

    There is always something that inspires you to overcome any sort of pressure and with Mohit’s and Kajal’s wedding, it was simply them. Their calmness and happiness made our job putting the edit together in less than 4 hours very easy. It’s so true how they say you should surround yourself with positive people. Mohit’s and Kajal’s positive vibe is so powerful that people around them can’t help but be positive.

    *Note: For those of you who are not aware of the difference between Same Day Edit & Next Day Edit, here is a little clarification for them. SDE is simply an edit that is prepared on and from the day off the event. Next Day Edit is when it’s from previous days. And then there is NDE/SDE when it’s a combination of both. Hope that clears things up for everyone.

  • Saif + Samia – Next/Same Day Edit

    A Wedding is about about two people who are in love and share similar yet opposite interests. Traditionally, the bride is more keen and interested in minor details as it’s the day she has a been looking forward to for a very long time.

    However, things are changing now. Lately, there are few weddings that we have done where grooms have taken a keen interest in all the details That being said, Saif is one of those rare grooms whose eyes were glowing with happiness from the initial consultation. To backtrack, he was in one of the most memorable performances that we captured 2 years ago. He did a performance at his cousin’s wedding which led him to meet Samia.

    He wanted everything to go perfect from the very beginning. Yes a groom. Normally that’s the bride’s department. He is one of the nicest and detail oriented guys we have ever met. From the grande entrance of mehndi to the unexpected ride for his wedding entrance, he wanted everything to be different and to our knowledge, it certainly was. Kudos to him.

    Enough about Saif now let’s talk about Samia. If there is one person that Saif can be with it’s Samia. She literary drives and inspires him in every way. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that. It’s all in his eyes. And if that becomes the basis of every relationship, nothing can come between the two souls.

    In short, a true gem of a couple and we are extremely proud to have the chance to cover this fabulous wedding.
