  • 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.

  • Destination Norway – Ambreen + Javed – Next/Same Day Edit

    We have always been blessed to work some of the most amazing couples around the world. Whether you call it pure luck or simply a perfect connection or whatever else, one thing is certain. It would never be possible if we didn’t have thorough consultations with them.

    Ambreen and Javed contacted us from Oslo, Norway to cover their wedding in July of this year. They emailed us and as always our first response before anything was, let’s skype. And that we did. We video conferenced for good 45 minutes and learned about their story, explained our side of things and so on.
    That then lead dozens of email discussions and few more skype meetings.

    Aside from the concept film that we produced for them (which you can see at https://vimeo.com/45580311 ), we also produced a Next Day Edit. From the beginning, the focus for the Next Day Edit was to produce something upbeat and energetic. After the first event (mendi), we were 100% sure that we would have to produce something extremely jubilant but romantic at the same time. Every wedding film, we produce, there is always an underlying theme. In this case, it was pure fun and dancing as the main element with sub plot being the couple’s wedding story.

    Each and every day was full of vibrant colour and beautiful moments. However, our favourite parts were the mode of transportation that were used on each evening. At mehndi night, Ambreen entered in on a Rickshaw where as on the wedding day, Javed made an entrance on a Horse Carriage and last but not least, the reception featured them both coming on Rolls Royce.

    Ambreen, Javed and our team literary spent 9 out of 10 days together in Norway and we had a great time. We would like to thank the couple, their families and friends for an amazing hospitality for 10 days.

  • 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.

  • Zainab + Bilal – Next/Same Day Edit

    Every south asian wedding is filled with colours, joys and smiles all around. However, there is one portion that is very emotional and can make the girl and her side of the family to cry. Some of you may know it as Doli others Vidaai or to some it’s called Rukhsati. Different words, but all have same meaning. This is where bride bids farewell to her family.

    During all this, normally, the groom side is happy as they are gaining someone special but still portray themselves as serious due to the nature of situation. Having done so many of these weddings, we have seen almost everything but never seen the groom and his side of the family in tears as well. And believe it or not that even got to us.

    Wedding is composed of everything from bride and groom to decor to the hall but mostly it’s the people that make the event memorable.
    Zainab and Bilal’s friends and families are simply gems. Everyone from their immediate family to in-laws to cousins all showed so much devotion and love. Each and everyone did their utmost best to make their wedding unforgettable.

    And what to say about Bilal and Zainab. Sometimes, words are not enough to justify someone’s traits. And literary we are speechless.
