  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Amit + Priya – Official Trailer – Reception

    We met Priya almost 3 years ago at her brother’s Shawn and his wife Sapna’s concept film back in 2009. Incidentally, that was the first time Amit met Priya as well. Small world.

    We have known Priya for 3 years now and between now and then have met her at countless weddings. She is a shy, down to earth and simple girl who expects nothing from life but is always willing to give. As for Amit, we began seeing him at various weddings as well as time progressed. He is full of life, fun and quite opposite from Priya. Not that opposite but enough for them to be 100% compatible with each other.

    Our most challenging task is to get to know the couple as a couple after they sign up with us. In this case, it was a little different. We already knew Priya very well but it was Amit who we grew to learn about in the past year. And believe it or not that’s always challenging. It’s easy to get to know two people and their tastes towards life, each other a lot faster but somehow very difficult when you already know one person and you have to get to know the other person separately. But we did and it was an experience getting to know him. He is one of those guys who is always looking to be better at what they do.

    The wedding festivities kicked off few days before the grande ceremony itself. Both families are so full of warmth that we blended as their own. From the heroic entrance of the groom to the beautiful bride, everything about this wedding was perfect. The people, the decor, the chemistry all clicked.

  • 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.

  • Jesleen + Jihad – Same Day Edit

    Now that you have seen Jesleen + Jihad’s Concept Music Video, we move forward to their wedding day.

    The ceremony and reception were held at Graydon Hall Manor & Royal Ambassador respectively. The former was an outdoor event on one of the most hottest days of the summer. But the cool breeze from the trees, a bit of a shade and the world’s shortest Sikh ceremony (19 minutes) helped everyone make it through. It was an intimate ceremony with under 80 guests which made our job a little easier The reception however, was a bigger event with roughly 350 odd guests.

    Our day began earlier in the morning with getting ready coverage followed by ceremony and same day reception. Due to a long drive from one venue to another, we only had 4 hours to put together this Same Day Edit. Along included here few pre-wedding ceremonies that took place at the bride’s house.

    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. That took us a lot of time to get to know them as a couple.

  • Saj + Jessica Next/Same Day Edit

    Do Quirky and Calm go together? If you disagree, you may want to change your mind after watching Saj + Jessica in this Next/Same Day Edit.

    If you haven’t already seen their film “Meeting at Pizza Hut”, please do so before watching this by going over here. There is certainly a connection at the end of that film and beginning of this.

    This is probably the 5th wedding we have done this year where the bride lets the groom run the show. Since grooms are not used to dealing with wedding details, they normally end up going overboard. In other words, Groomzilla Nothing wrong with that, in fact, we welcome that. We end up working with those couples who are both more or less heavily involved in their wedding instead of just one. Otherwise, there is no fun.

    Saj + Jessica were definitely a pleasure to work with. As I mentioned, Saj is a very quirky type of a guy. He has a certain way of saying things that end up being humorous. Whereas Jessica is a quiet but very particular about what she wants. Their wedding had many unique factors but one that stood out was that they got married at Toronto’s International Centre, which to our knowledge has never held a wedding before.

  • 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
