  • Shafaq + Raghib – Next Day Edit

    Shifa who has been an avid fan of our work along with her sister Nida, approached us in Fall of 2011 for her wedding in January 2012.

    Having rarely done off season weddings, and meeting the bride and her sister, it was something we definitely enjoyed. Both Shifa and Nida had already watched most of our YouTube Channel and pretty much like many of our couples came to us with the mind set of booking.

    As a boutique studio we are eager to meet both the bride and groom but unfortunately her fiancee Raghib couldn’t meet us until close to the wedding due to his work in Middle East but despite his unavailability, we were able to connect with him on phone.

    He arrived here just few days before his wedding and we had the pleasure of meeting them in person.
    Shifa + Raghib wedding festivities were full of colors and love. Both families were so hospitable as they looked after our food situation more than their wedding itself:)

    At the 3rd and final day of our wedding, our entire team was a bit down because we knew it was the last day for us to see them all together.

  • Sameera + Jagandeep – Reception

    Film-Style has always had the unique pleasure of working with interfaith couples. Covering an interfaith marriage is loads of fun, not just because of the different cultural and religious traditions that are all wrapped up in one big happy package  but also because it’s a rewarding experience to be able to see two very different worldviews, encompassed within those cultural and religious traditions, become as one. It’s a ‘feel good’ kind of wedding that enables and embraces differences even as it reconciles them within the institution of a marriage.

    Sameera (the Muslim bride) and Jagan (the Sikh groom) proved to us once again this beauty of an interfaith union. On July 8th, this couple held their Sangeet/Holud where their respective cultural traditions were paid tribute to “desi-style,” with a lot of dancing and a lot of performances. And on July 9th, their respective religious traditions were honored and upheld at their respective religious ceremonies, with a lot of love and respect from their families.

    We wish this couple great success in the future and a lot of happy new traditions in the making. Cheers!

  • Salman + Arooj – Wedding Trailer

    Besides sharing a vibrant chemistry, Salman and Arooj bring similar family values in each other’s lives.

    As always, our goal is to reflect couple’s personality in our wedding films and we made an attempt to keep the essence of their Next Day Edit. But we also wanted to give this wedding trailer an emotional touch.

    We proudly present Salman + Arooj Wedding Trailer filled with tears, laughters and endless joy.

    Have a look.

  • Kulsoom + Hadi – Next/Same Day Edit

    Late bookings are a rarity. But Kulsoom and Hadi were a couple we just couldn’t turn down.

    It was their down-to-earth nature, their honesty and humility that drew us in. But even these words fall rather short of describing them aptly and fully.

    The coverage began with the Nikkah ceremony held at a Mosque and was followed by cultural traditions. The Nikkah took place in the morning and was followed, at night, by their vivid Mehndi ceremony, full of colour, life and energy.

    The next day was the Wedding Day. Our goal in the Next/Same Day Edit was to incorporate the getting ready footage as well as the reception entrances. And yes, we pulled it off and completed the final edit a tight ten minutes before the viewing.

  • Destination Winnipeg – Suri + Ruben – Reception

    In June of 2010, we received a phone call just as we were closing office for the day. A Suri Dhaliwal from Winnipeg was calling to inquire about our Cinematography & Photography services. Normally, we request the client to call back during business hours, but on a whim, I asked Suri to call my cell 20 minutes later.

    Twenty minutes later, I was out shopping with the family when Suri called back accompanied by her fiancée, Ruben Karla, on speaker phone. While my wife carried on with the shopping, I wandered around aimlessly, immersed as I was in the conversation, which lasted about 30 minutes. Even though I’d never actually met the couple (not yet that is), they struck me straightaway as clientele for whom we would no doubt do something very special.

    Two months later, when the couple flew down to Toronto to visit Suri’s sister, we met up with them, even though it was our busiest weekend of the year. I had 45 minutes to spare in between a ceremony and a reception taking place at the Bellevue Manor in Vaughan. Suri and Ruben drove down there, where we discussed among other things their wedding

    While we were in Winnipeg for 6 days, our team provided coverage for the couple’s pre-wedding events including mehndi, mayyun and chunni rasm, which was later followed by the Sikh ceremony and reception.

    We always feel that getting to know the couple is the most important part of our service and in Ruben and Suri’s case it was no different. It was because we spent such a great deal of time with them that their chemistry translated onto the screen as beautifully as it did.

  • Farah + Kazi – Wedding Trailer

    Farah the bride is a wedding planner. Kazi the groom is a stand-up comedian. Considering the stress and strain of wedding planning, the comic relief provided by Kazi is likely a welcome and blessed break from all that stress. (Farah must have a laugh). And in case the stress of becoming humorless ever plagues Kazi, we’ve no doubt the traumas and dramas surrounding wedding planning are inexhaustible sources of jokes and jabs. (Kazi must have a blast).

    All in all, this couple is a match made in heaven.

    Farah and Film-Style have often worked together. Farah, a wedding planner for Sapna Weddings, became interested in our work upon seeing it at many a wedding. We were happy to shoot her wedding as well–a gem of tradition. A traditional Bengali Muslim wedding to be exact, filled with dancing during the mehndi and followed by a visually stunning reception.

    Congrats guys and…Cheers!

  • Fahad + Ayesha – Wedding Trailer

    Two words that don’t merely describe Fahad and Ayesha, but rather define them, are: calm and gracious. Film-Style’s first meeting with them was accidental, a chance run-in at a wedding show. But from that initial meeting and onwards, it was clear to us that Fahad and Ayesha were meant for each other.

    The idea of an upcoming wedding conjures up a lot of images, most of them exciting and positive. But there is one less than positive element that threads its way into the most organized and the most meticulously planned of wedding events: chaos.

    With all that’s going on at a wedding, something’s bound to go wrong. Take it from us: it’s inevitable. But most of the time, though the mishap tends to cause general madness, things get sorted out rather well. And the sequence of events tends to be universal: Something goes wrong, there’s a bit of a panic, and then–it’s all resolved. Fahad and Ayesha however, proved to be a couple that never panicked—not once. If they ever did, they hid it phenomenally well and not a soul was ever the wiser. You will certainly see their mutual and magic trait of calm in this wedding trailer. A three day wedding event composed of the Mehndi, Shaadi and the Valima.

    Cheers!

  • Aliya + Eric – Same Day Edit

    Aliya and Erica saw us in action at Sapna and Shawn’s wedding, back in April of 2010 and upon seeing the Next Day Edit, decided to book us for their own wedding. Initially, they said, they’d decided against hiring any professional cinematography services, but our style was just too striking to pass up.

    Aliya and Eric make quite an adventurous couple.  They’re rock climbers, scuba divers and hikers. You’ll find this adventurous streak of their’s apparent in the Same Day Edit.

    The wedding day started off with the usual universal pre-wedding preparations. Then occurred the park shoot followed by the Church Ceremony (a salute to Eric’s heritage).  After about 7 hours of coverage, we headed over to the other end of the city to cover the Ismaili Ceremony (a salute to Aliya’s heritage) and then were back in Downtown Toronto at the Palais Royale for the Reception

    The Same Day Edit features footage from the reception as well, including their choreographed First Dance. Enjoy.

  • Amy + Harsha – Wedding Highlights

    Interracial weddings have become the norm. And they’re always a great cultural learning experience for us, not to mention tremendous fun. Despite their current day prevalence though, we found Amy and Harsha’s wedding to be one of a kind.  

    Like some of our clients, we never had the chance to meet this couple beforehand due to their distant location. But we communicated over the phone regularly, in order to ensure the perfect capture of their perfect day.

    Above are the highlights of the lavish ceremony and reception

  • Nimita + Derek – Ceremony & Reception

    On September 4th & 5th, Nimita & Derek had their hindu ceremony and reception in Brampton Ontario. Nimita is originally from Toronto while Derek from Chicago but they met when they were professors at St. Louis College of Pharamacy.

    We never met the couple as they flew in just days before the wedding to take care of the remaining fine details which their parents had looked after. Full of energy and character, Nimita + Derek are one of those couple that immediately catch your attention.

  • Stephen + Shirley – Wedding Highlights

    It’s been a while since we have added anything here. The reason is no more than lots of work in the editing room.

    Today we have added wedding highlights from Stephen + Shirley Wedding held on September 26th, 2009. A very humble and enjoyable couple to be with, Stephen + Shirley met us early this year and immediately booked us. We spent a full morning session with them at Niagara Falls back in May which can be watched here.

    For now enjoy the highlights
