  • Malay + Abhira – Same Day Edit / Concept Film

    https://vimeo.com/115142684

    Graceful & Classy are the words that we associate with Malay & Abhira. They had an elegant wedding which brought forward two different cultures together. A Gujrati & a South Indian. Our bride Abhira demands perfection in every sense of the word and that is evident in her outfits.

    Abhira designed four of her outfits, including that of her wedding ceremony and reception. This was a hugely successful decision on her part since she wowed all the guests. Her desire to do something creative was demonstrated at every event, from mehndi, to sangeet, to wedding ceremony.

    Our groom is one of the calmest individuals we have ever come across. Regardless of how stressful the situation might be, he will always have a sense of calmness on his face.

    Their wedding festivities were held at various venues including the prestigious Liberty Grande and Arcadian Court.

    In addition, we created a visual concept film for them entitled The Secret of Eternity. This film introduced them before they made their grand entrance at the Reception.

  • Jaan Pehchan Ho – Concept Music Video

    This concept production was a perfect window into the personalities of our couple, Rishi and Jehan. Although they are both busy professionals with schedules that don’t allow for an excess of leisure time, the key to their success is the manner in which they wholeheartedly delve into the tasks before them. Much like the roles they have in reality, these two jumped into their characters with energy, spirit and a rocking sense of fun.

    With a vintage flair, the choice of filters in this feature reflected the roaring era of the 60’s, notorious for that famous swiveling of the hips known popularly as the “Twist”. It’s a dance move that lights up the screen in this little number. Of course, no concept film is quite complete without its costume and location changes, props and in this case- even instruments! The couple made sure that the selected song would be enhanced by the use of these, and the result was nothing short of nostalgic.

    We can assure you this was one for the books. Indeed, the couple had as much fun making this video as it looked!

  • The Secret of Flamenco – Sunjay + Reshma – A Concept Film

    When it comes to wedding planning, couples like to have the luxury of time to coordinate each detail to perfection for their special day. In our experience, 12 to 18 months is usually the happy medium. Ever so often however, we meet individuals who get right down to business- knowing exactly what they want, how they prefer it and when it needs to happen. Enter Reshma and Sunjay.

    Within 6 months their entire wedding was planned, every vendor they wanted was hired and they coordinated with us frequently to produce a one of a kind concept film. From the initial stages of our creative brainstorming together, Reshma had a solid vision of what she desired. Energetic, artistic and eager to get started she let us know that she was passionate about Spanish culture and wanted their concept film to reflect that. Sunjay’s primary concern was that his lovely bride got exactly what she asked for, but he was completely trusting, cooperative and excited to see the end result.

    The use of instrumentals and facial expressions are woven together to help narrate their simple but sweet tale of romance. Coupled with a few select locations and outfits, Reshma and Sunjay put on quite an original production. For all of our tech- savvy fans, for this visual treat we pulled out of our goodie bag our new RED epic and BMC cameras and filmed this project using RAW 4k and RAW 2.5K. The viewing experience is meant to feel like a dream and as per the script, may just leave you with few words. See for yourselves.

  • Concept Film: Dil Milay Na Milay – exclusively written, composed & performed for the couple

    Whether it’s a wedding film or a concept film, we are always striving to produce something original for our couples. In the past we have done bollywood based performances, medleys, music video, short films and even a mafia based stories. As you may have seen on our blog below, recently, we have produced a stop motion animation film for a couple.

    However, before that we did another concept film for Alia & Zuhair that featured a unique element. We exclusively wrote a song based on couple’s personality and had a professional and well recognized band Swaras compose and perform it. The song is entitled “DIL MILAY NA MILAY”

  • Concept – Stop Motion Animated Film – THE WINNING BET

    I always say, if I wasn’t a filmmaker, I would have been a musician. If that did not work out- then definitely an animator. Producing animated films is a very creative and fun process but also an exhaustive one; in particular, stop-motion films. These are essentially comprised of thousands of photos seamlessly woven to form a motion. One second would comprise of 24 frames, which would equate to 24 photos. To show movement, you use one frame, then move the object and take another shot – continuing the process in that manner. What’s fascinating, is that your objects are coming to life right before your eyes. And so begins our journey…

    It was around 7 pm last December 3rd; a damp, rainy night in Victoria B.C. As I relaxed after a long day of production on a personal project that I am still working on called “Leap in Time”, I sat down to continue writing the script for my other project, a 10 minute stop- motion animated short that has a working title of “The Wall”. I remember, it was the little kid in me that pushed me to move forward with this genre of film and the thought suddenly struck me, “Wouldn’t it be cool if Film Style Weddings could do a stop motion animation feature for a couple?”

    In that moment, a phone’s ringing pierced my silent marvelling at the idea. I received a phone call from my clients, Kiran and Nitin. They wanted to discuss a concept film for their wedding. The couple immediately conveyed to me that they were interested in doing some sort of animated film for their entrance. My jaw must have hit the floor and I knew right then that this would work, especially because I was entertaining the very idea only moments before.

    What transpired from the creative triumph of that evening was an intense 6-month journey of writing, pre-production, and post-production of “The Winning Bet”. It was one of the most challenging projects I have ever worked on but at the same time, I’ve never had so much fun.

    Two weeks ago the film was screened at the wedding, and the response was nothing short of rewarding. The director and the child in me, were both very fulfilled.

  • 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.

  • ‘Being Competitive’ – A Concept Film – Sajnoor + Emanjit

    Our job always becomes a little bit easier when creative couples or those already in the industry approach us for their wedding related events. Hence, the case of Saj & Em. Saj is a professional photographer who runs PhotoKitch.

    Saj + Em recently got engaged and organized a 700 people engagement party in a matter of weeks. And after finalizing venue and other details, they came to us 10 days before their engagement event. It’s one thing for us to book an event and another to do a little concept film within a week. We are a firm believer of anything is possible as long as resources are there but to have 10 days to come up with a concept, film it and then edit it is pushing a little. And we told that to Saj and Em but their motto was that they have do this whatever it takes.
    With a very little planning and developing the concept as we filmed, it was a unique task to achieve.

  • Shano + Tanya – NDE / SDE / Concept – ‘Let’s Talk Wedding Day’

    The first time we met Shano was exactly 3 years ago. We were prepping for his friends Shawn + Sapna Music Video (Main Aur Mrs. Verma). As part of their bridal party, he committed himself and his time to the project. Not to mention, he was also the MC at their wedding as well. Over the years, we met Shano at countless number of weddings and yes he was the MC at their wedding as well. That’s what happens, when you speak well.

    And Tanya came into picture a little later. Of course at that time, there was no set wedding date but both Shano + Tanya made it clear to us that eventually when they get married, they will be availing our services. We won’t lie, it’s always nice to hear that

    So about a year ago, they came to us formally and went over their wedding details. One thing Shano and Tanya told us from the beginning is that they wanted to do a concept film but something simple, that reflects their personality. And as you know that’s always our goal.

    Both Shano + Tanya are very articulate individuals and we wanted to highlight that by making it a fun yet simple film. Hence we came up with a concept called ‘Let’s Talk Wedding Day’. The idea here was to get them to talk about their upcoming wedding and then integrate it with their Same Day Edit.

    Everyone does wonder how their wedding day will unfold, so we thought, wouldn’t it be great to see if the wedding day turns out the way they perceive it before hand.

  • Concept Music Video ‘Babe, Marriage?’

    https://vimeo.com/48779723

    Our entire business model is based on word of mouth. And it’s always nice to hear that a couple saw our films somewhere online or someone’s house or simply at the wedding.

    Jesleen and Jihad’s case is no different. Having seen our work at another wedding 2 years back, they came to us 18 months ago to inquire about August 25th, 2012 weekend. As always, we discussed their wedding and also an idea for a concept film. We didn’t really have anything concrete in mind but after few meetings, they presented us an idea of doing a dance music video on one of their favourite songs ‘Let’s Get Married’ by Jagged Edge.

    We took that idea and incorporated their interests like sky diving, rollerblading as well as a mix of Arabic, Chinese and Indian cultures.

    We will let the concept music video do the rest of the talking.

  • Concept Music Video: ‘Babe, Marriage?’ – Teaser Trailer

    Instead of giving details, all I will say is that this is the teaser trailer to Jesleen + Jihad’s Concept Music Video ‘Babe, Marriage?’ The full video was shown just before their entrance this past weekend. Expect full details once the full video is posted

  • ‘Meeting at Pizza Hut’ – Saj + Jessica’s Story

    Every couple’s story is unique. We have worked with couples who have met on a plane, elevator, online and of course the ever popular through families. And we do our best to tell their stories based on couple’s personalities.

    Saj + Jessica’s story is unlike any other. They met at Pizza Hut. As simple as it sounds, it was challenging for us to come up with a concept for them. But sometimes simplicity is the best option. We had the couple tell their story and act out most of the part, except the proposal. That was real and Jessica didn’t have a clue about it until wedding reception when she saw this film.

    To add to that, the couple also wanted to make grand entrance for their reception. Something that hasn’t been done before and that they did. We integrated both their story and entrance in one film.
