What can be said about Bobby and Sharmi? Well, for starters, both are well-grounded in their adult selves, but neither is afraid to let loose their inner child. From the very first it was clear that their personalities complemented one another’s well. It was also quite clear that Bobby was out to make his future wife as happy as he could—which became even more evident on their wedding day.
Bobby is brimming with positive energy. And he knows how to pass it along. He strives to make others happy and manages it rather well since own his positive energy is so contagious. He’s a good chap and a good load of fun to be around.
As for Sharmi…well, let’s just say Sharmi was a startlingly calm bride. When her Mehndi artist was about 3 hours late, she didn’t so much as twitch, let alone fret. She may have been bothered and troubled on the inside, but she never let it come across. Not even for a second. And on top of that, she is quite the people person. In her reception speech Sharmi said, “people’s success is measured by the number of friends they have and considering that I am blessed with so many, I consider myself successful.” If success is measured by the enrichment brought into our lives by our relations, then Sharmi is indeed successful—as a daughter, sister, friend and future wife.
It was an honor to be a part of such a dazzling and delightful event. Congrats guys!
The song we used for Bobby and Sharmi’s Same Day Edit features the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Entitled “Afreen,” it came out in the mid 90’s and a personal favorite of mine because of its beautiful vocals, music and of course, for its rich poetry. Cheers!
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!
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!
In July of 2010, Cassandra Williams approached us for a concept production, having seen a few productions on our website. She also wanted to take us on for our cinematography services, only she’d already booked with another company. But following our conversations, she decided to opt out of her initial contract to sign up with us instead. And thus began this journey.
And thus began the brainstorming. We met up with both Cassandra and her fiancé Ravi Ramjit and came up with the idea of a Medley themed production that would highlight their relationship from its inception (at their first meeting) to its culmination (in their marriage), using bollywood songs from the 60’s onwards. We’d been waiting to realize just such a production for a while now, and had been waiting for just the right couple to star in it. So when Ravi and Cassandra mentioned the idea, we jumped on board! And boy, did these two prove to be just the couple for such a production:). Well done guys!
Our very first task was to find 9 songs that would aptly reflect Ravi and Cassandra’s connection and chemistry. The second part of course was the preparation for the multiple shoots. Finding the right locations, costumes and pulling off all the right looks for all the different songs was challenging. And filming proved challenging as well as tight schedules loomed large, particularly Ravi’s. But where there’s a will, there’s a way:). We broke the filming down into two parts: the first part consisted of 3 full days of filming and the second, 2 full days of filming. The final product is, I must say, phenomenal. We outdid ourselves, and special thanks goes out to Olga Make-Up, Body and Art for creating almost identical looks to those of the songs we selected. And to Fine Cakes by Zehra, CTC West and Crystal Fountain Banquet Hall, all of whom were a tremendous help in the completion of this project.
And finally, *a round of applause* to the couple: Ravi and Cassandra, may we be the first to say that you two would give any bollywood couple a run for their money:). *Cheers and Applause!*
Sometimes eloquence lies in simplicity Although Annum and Saad’s wedding appeared to be no less than Royalty but their wedding was very traditional. Something we see very rare these days.
We met Annum mid last year but didn’t get a chance to meet Saad up until few months ago since he is from Boston. Although, it’s always good to meet the couple before the wedding, we learned a lot about Saad very much through Annum. And that really is a testament to their relationship.
We wish them all the best
