  • Suman + Sunny – Fusion Wedding – Next Day Edit

    Suman + Sunny’s fusion wedding brought two traditions together in one celebration. This Next Day Edit, a film cut and ready to share the day after the wedding, captures the highlights in just over five minutes.

  • Suman + Neeraj – Next Day Edit – Featuring ‘Tujhe Dekha to Yeh Jana Sanam’

    Suman & Neeraj

    Ever so often, amidst all of the sparkling and glamorous modernity of South Asian wedding trends, a comfortingly refreshing pause can be found in a return to the classics. Be it in vintage style, timeless music or a taste for tradition, it can safely be declared that there is no substitute for the simple, feel-good joys of days past.

    Suman and Neeraj sought to recreate this with their wedding, blending old ways with new, in their honest, creative, and loving style. True fans of Bollywood, they searched for just the right music and imagery to convey the significance of the happy-endings all Bollywood heroes and heroines deserve. With Neeraj’s sharp looks and impressive style, and Suman’s playful eyes and infectious laugh…you would almost think they were right out of a Bollywood romance themselves.

    Their Sangeet was an absolute visual delight; a nostalgic treat for guests with fun poster features set up by the ever- unique Dream Party Decor. Neeraj’s sister (whose wedding four years ago, we also captured) along with the help of an enthusiastic group of family and friends, had a fantastic performance lined up for her brother and sister in law to be.

    As with any wedding, Bollywood or not, love has its moments of pure magic. During the ceremony, the kiss Suman firmly but poignantly places on her father’s hand as he clasps the hands of his daughter and new son, says it all- at the heart of every wedding, no matter the time, place or people, is the greater strength of the families it has forged as one.

    Congratulations to our newlyweds and their families on a beautiful union!

  • SIMER + RAVIN – NEXT DAY EDIT

    This next-day edit is perhaps among the best examples we have of what happens when a bride and groom’s chief desire for themselves and their guests, is to quite simply, have fun.

    Simer and Ravin were about as cool, collected and as “Torontonian” as it gets when it came to coordinating wedding details. They were artful in their vision, unafraid of being minimalist at times and of course, it was important to them to find creative ways of showcasing their love of the city. We won’t spoil it by telling you how!

    The intimacy of their guest list added to the loving particularity of their wedding events. Despite a smaller crowd, it was a highly energetic, vibrantly-hued affair with resounding laughter, head-turning dance moves and entertaining interaction- comprising the backdrop of sheer fun that so befittingly complemented the personalities of the bride and groom. A spin on the traditional baraat ceremony with groomsmen pulling up in a line of muscle cars to the gurdawara, bespoke bridal wear and a memorably lively photoshoot, Simer and Ravin were able to create an impression that was not only true to their style but to their original purpose- a classy, good time.

    Congrats to the newly weds!

  • MAHI VE- Thank You 2013-2015 Couples // Welcome 2016 Couples

    As part of our tradition, we welcome to you to witness some of our amazing couples between the year 2013-2016. 3 months in the making, this 6 minute piece took us lots of planning, resources and story boarding. In the end, it was very difficult to leave out some other amazing moments and clips but here is the best of the best.

  • Aseem + Hargunn – Wedding Film

    Aseem and Hargunn’s wedding was an example of how a couple can bring their families together in celebration of their life most important event.

    Things kicked off a day before with a Sangeet with some beautiful decor from Elegance Decor. They crafted a stage that reflected that of couple’s personality and created beautiful mini lounges for guests to sit and mingle at. The Sangeet was fun filled event with a striking entrance by the bride Hargunn. Aseem on the other did what a true gentleman would do. He made sure that he got out of the comfort of his seat and stage and greeted his bride to be. A very sweet touch and guests loved that. To top it all there were some breath taking skits and performances by families and friends on both sides.

    The bride and groom had helpfully complementary personalities. Throughout the entire wedding process, Hargunn was calm and collected while Aseem was brimming with energy, enthusiasm and a little bit of stress:) And that’s because he made sure that not a single shred of it fell on Hargunn’s lap.

    Aside from the fact that there were many phenomenal elements to their wedding, not to mention, the beautiful ceremony and elegant reception. Normally Ceremonies start in the morning with reception taking away most part of the evening. In this case, things ran a little different which was nice for a change. The ceremony commenced in the evening as the reception ran way past midnight. Regardless of that every guest was attentive and involved in every step of the way.

    Truly deserving of marital happiness and success, we wish Aseem & Hargunn much joy and a continued sense of adventure as they journey through life together.

  • Simran + Mani – Next/Same Day Edit

    Every bride wants her wedding to be uniquely special and memorable. There wee weddings that stand out because of their breathtaking decor, while others are for a delicious menu and then there are those weddings that are just specialbecause of the love shared between the couple and their families.

    Simran + Mani’s wedding was memorable because it so beautifully encompassed each of these components, if not more.

    One thing that stood out the most was Simran’s breathtaking outfits for each of her event. From her engagement to sangeet followed by ceremony and two receptions, each of her outfit was different. She pretty much wowed all present. Her desire to do something creative was demonstrated at every event.

    Ultimately, what made Simran + Mani stand out as a couple was their strength of confidence and attention to detail, as this Next / Same Day edit illustrates. Mani’s calm, collected demeanor is the perfect balance to Simran’s bubbly personality. In our opinion, this couple had an ideal harmony of elements to make their wedding definitely worth remembering.

  • Vikas + Shikha – Next / Same Day Edit

    Vikas and Shikha had one of those timeless, feel-good weddings with all of the right ingredients to make it a classic; colorful details, planned surprises and sweeping amounts of love were the focal points of their events.

    Both the bride and groom come from a tightly woven circle of family and friends and their participation in the couple’s wedding was a testament to how special they are to them. The bride’s sisters played an important role in the organization of each function, so a note to all of the prospective brides out there- believe it or not, you don’t have to do it ALL by yourself for it to be perfect. Sometimes, as in Shikha’s experience, your loved ones know you best.

    Vikas too, is fortunate to be surrounded by a group who dotes on him. His groomsmen were constantly by his side, ensuring all went smoothly under their careful watch. From setting the tone for Vikas’ debonair entrance in a Lamborghini to their knack for cracking jokes to punctuate those rare but golden moments of pre-wedding jitters. That nervousness did not last for long however. Take one look at the adoring gaze Vikas captures his bride in as she makes her way down the aisle toward him- these are the moments that make our job so much more worth it.

    It was a pleasure working with this terrific couple and their loving family and we wish them all of the best as they progress into the next exciting chapter of their lives together. Our cameras are ready when you are!

  • Rishi + Radhika – Next / Same Day Edit

    Weddings, you say? Well, they are all about the bride of course!

    These days, not so much. Times are changing, grooms- to-be are becoming a much more heard and important voice in the wedding planning process, and why not- it is just as much their day to shine. In the case of Rishi and Radhika, it might have very well seemed as if it was all about the groom, and to add even more of a plot twist for our readers, Radhika was loving every minute of her groom’s spotlight. Who says brides don’t know how to share the glory of their moment?

    Rishi and Radhika’s union is especially dear to me, as I have known Rishi for almost 6 years. He has been a guest at numerous weddings that our team has worked over the years and we have covered such a large number of weddings within his own family that I seem to have lost track after the eighth

    This couple possesses a very balanced dynamic that helped them tremendously with the stress that often accompanies preparing for the big day. Vibrant and full of energy, Rishi was an enthusiastic perfectionist when it came to making sure that all of the details would seamlessly come together for the events. Radhika was always on hand, calm and collected, and readily available to assure Rishi that while events are rarely ever 100% of the way you expect, they are always entirely yours to make the best of. In that vein, they are only a disappointment if you allow them to be. Rishi is lucky to have such a wise lady by his side.

    With my utmost love and respect, I would like to wish this special couple only the best that married life has to offer, and I have a hunch that I will be seeing them very soon, again.

  • CK + Robin – Next Day Edit

    Last year, CK & Robin approached us to capture their wedding festivities in August of 2015. From our initial consultation to further meetings, one of the things that we noticed with both the groom and the bride was their calmness and honesty. And those two traits truly makes matters much easier not only for us but for the couple as well.

    Their wedding was full of elegance and character but the most important aspect was family. At all the events, there was a sense of compromise between every individual. It was as if the families had an understanding of respect and love. The highlight from their pre wedding events was how CK proposed to Robin which was followed by him sweeping her off her feet. That beautiful moment is featured in the Next Day Edit.

    But we feel the element that really stood out in their wedding was their regal and stunning outfits. Gone are the days when a bride was the one who dressed like a queen. Nowadays the tides are shifting towards grooms and CK made sure that he matched perfectly with his beautiful bride. Along with the matching outfits, they carried themselves in a sophisticated manner.

    As always in order to reflect the couple’s personality properly, we always turn towards the music as a source of inspiration. And the choice here blends perfectly with them or so we think 😉

  • Bhavi + Nina – Next/ Same Day Edit

    In affairs such as weddings, while it is much easier said than done, things are likely to go a great deal smoother if there is a general sense of calm about the place. (This can also greatly add to your value as a bridesmaid or groomsman if you manage to do this for your highly anxious bride and/or groom- rack up those brownie points and make it count that they chose you!)

    Such was the case with Bhavi and Nina’s wedding weekend, inclusive of pre-wedding events and finally two completely different ceremonies, all in the same day. It helps of course, that our bride and groom were completely trusting in the entire process and confident that they were surrounded by the best quality of family, friends and vendors to share in and contribute to their big day.

    The wedding was a combination of Sikh and Hindu traditions and with a lot of careful and thoughtful coordinating, each ceremony took place at its respective temple in one day. The functions were intimate, respectfully planned and equally solemn- a noteworthy tribute to who Bhavi and Nina are as individuals and the kind of balanced union upon which they have embarked.

    Not only did this couple know to expect the best from their day, but they knew how to travel in high style as well. A shiny white Maybach was their impressive method of travel for the day, and truth be told/ the first day of the rest of their lives, never looked better.

  • Sonia + Manny -Multi Million $ Wedding Extravaganza -Next / Same Day Edit

    Sonia and Manny’s wedding extravaganza will leave you starry-eyed and breathless. If you are planning your own wedding it is chock full of inspiration, so much so, it is featured in the current issue of WedLuxe magazine which is in stores now. This is the second time we have had our work highlighted in Wedluxe, and when you take a look at this wedding, rest assured, your highly coveted vision boards will come to life right before your eyes.

    The wedding was sparklingly luxe and bespoke in theme, and our bride Sonia went above and beyond in making sure everything was custom and precisely as she pictured. There are a number of ways to make a statement at one’s wedding, and Sonia chose all of the right ones. Her wedding stationery was regally bold and colorful, hand-selected and carefully planned. Her ceremony invitations were printed by the same store in India that created Abhishek and Ashwariya’s. The outstanding Paleterra did her reception invitations, and their effect was both iconic and luxurious in design.

    The stunning red bridal lengha that she wore was fabricated by the famous Sabya Sachi, replete with all of the fine handiwork and crystals that brides dream about. Sonia’s gown for the reception was designed by Ines Di Santo, with a sweeping skirt and a jeweled neckline that dazzled every which way she turned.

    Sonia entrusted Dream Party Décor with the responsibility of making her dream wedding a reality, and together, they scored a perfect 10 in achieving that. From the Mehendi to Reception, there was not a detail missed. A live camel was even present at the Sangeet! For the Milni ceremony at the Gurdawar, a red carpet entrance fit for a king heralded Manny. (Brides, this is an impressively thoughtful touch, although this day is very much about you- the grooms deserve a bit of the fanfare too).

    Floral design is a key piece in creating an extravagant look at any event. Going to extremes this year, floral backdrops are making waves in events around the world – and in a good way! Sonia did not miss the memo. She left it to Dream Party Décor to implement a floral design into her backdrop for a dramatically lush and romantic effect. To top it all off, when the couple was announced to their audience, the stage revolved to reveal them- poised and statuesque- in front of their gorgeous backdrop. WHAT an entrance!

    Sonia and Manny had what many would call a dream wedding, but what makes it truly magical, is the love, support and humility that their respective families have for the couple and toward each other. Both Sonia and Manny declared that it could not have been the fairytale it was, without their families by their sides, and so, how deserving they all were, to share in their children’s dream come true.
