Whether it’s a wedding film or a concept film, we are always striving to produce something original for our couples. In the past we have done bollywood based performances, medleys, music video, short films and even a mafia based stories. As you may have seen on our blog below, recently, we have produced a stop motion animation film for a couple.
However, before that we did another concept film for Alia & Zuhair that featured a unique element. We exclusively wrote a song based on couple’s personality and had a professional and well recognized band Swaras compose and perform it. The song is entitled “DIL MILAY NA MILAY”

Our job always becomes a little bit easier when creative couples or those already in the industry approach us for their wedding related events. Hence, the case of Saj & Em. Saj is a professional photographer who runs PhotoKitch.
Saj + Em recently got engaged and organized a 700 people engagement party in a matter of weeks. And after finalizing venue and other details, they came to us 10 days before their engagement event. It’s one thing for us to book an event and another to do a little concept film within a week. We are a firm believer of anything is possible as long as resources are there but to have 10 days to come up with a concept, film it and then edit it is pushing a little. And we told that to Saj and Em but their motto was that they have do this whatever it takes.
With a very little planning and developing the concept as we filmed, it was a unique task to achieve.
Every couple’s story is unique. We have worked with couples who have met on a plane, elevator, online and of course the ever popular through families. And we do our best to tell their stories based on couple’s personalities.
Saj + Jessica’s story is unlike any other. They met at Pizza Hut. As simple as it sounds, it was challenging for us to come up with a concept for them. But sometimes simplicity is the best option. We had the couple tell their story and act out most of the part, except the proposal. That was real and Jessica didn’t have a clue about it until wedding reception when she saw this film.
To add to that, the couple also wanted to make grand entrance for their reception. Something that hasn’t been done before and that they did. We integrated both their story and entrance in one film.
We are celebrating our 5th year in creating wedding and concept films. And we would like to thank all of our couples who have worked with us as well as the fans who have been with us from the beginning.

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. During all this, Ambreen and Javed also showed desire for using our services to a create a concept film around their story and the scenic Norway.
It took us 3-4 days to film this concept film entitled Vadiyyan and then we literary had 1 day to put it all together, so it can be shown as an introduction video on their shaadi day
Ambreen, Javed and our team literary spent 9 out of 10 days together in Norway and we had a great time. We went to some beautiful locations including their university where they first met. We did takes after takes but despite having met us for just few days, Ambreen and Javed did a terrific job in putting their creative side in front of camera. Part of it also worked because we portrayed who they were not someone else and that’s so important when making a concept or wedding film.
Every time a couple books us for a concept film along with their wedding, our goal is either to tell their story with visuals or use certain elements in their personalities and interests in the project. The case was no different with Aman + Parv.
Aman is one of the rare creative brides we have come across. She did some incredible stuff for her wedding outfits and decor (I will talk about that during her wedding film). Among many of her creative talent, Aman loves to paint and make paper cranes hence we decided to create short film around that. After we started talking and began to grind out details about their story and personality, we started to add elements of their interest in locations and story.
A Bollywood Style Music Video showing the newly wed couple Mr and Mrs Verma. This is a pre-wedding video that was shown just before their entrance at the reception.
The response was extremely overwhelming.
Production Notes:
With over 40 hours of practicing and 3 days of filming, ‘Main Aur Mrs. Verma’ is one of our biggest project to date.
The outdoor dancing shoots took about 3 hours to film in 15 degrees below 0. Kudos to everyone who danced in that bitter cold.
