  • Chintan + Pooja – Wedding Film

    It’s always heartwarming for us here at Filmstyle to have enduring relationships with our brides and grooms. Ones that surpass the stressful details of wedding coordinating and logistics, and instead, invite us into the couple’s homes and communities and offer us a snapshot of who they are, where they come from and why their artistic vision fatedly, aligns with ours.

    Chintan and Pooja are one such couple. We captured Pooja’s brother’s wedding a few years ago and that of another couple who were friends of the family. We have had a chance to interact on numerous occasions and during that time, have witnessed how these two have grown as individuals, and into a dynamic duo, as well.

    During their wedding weekend, much like on every other occasion we have seen them, they were surrounded by love and lots of it. Tearful wedding toasts, special gestures and fun performances- there were a range of emotions that adorned their wedding festivities, all sprung out of awe, love and hope for the future of this loving, smart and charismatic couple.

    From decor, to apparel and all fine details in between- Chintan and Pooja made sure to inject every ounce of style and creativity they shared into their special day, and the results were mesmerizing. Shimmering textures, stunning design and architectural spaces, a bespoke bridal trousseau and declarations of love that left no one in the room with a dry eye- this couple definitely had the wedding experience that is hailed by all romantic enthusiasts.

    Without further delay- we invite you to take a look!

  • 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!

  • Samantha + Roger – Glamorous Wedding – Next / Same Day Edit

    As promised, we have a tantalizingly stylish visual treat in store for you this week. Samantha and Roger’s glamorous wedding weekend is oozing with creative details that will have you planning, pinning and pining (for your own big day) before you know it.

    From the moment we started working with this couple, we knew they would have an unforgettable series of events. Full of ideas and the desire to add their own personal touch to even the most minute of details, they took painstaking care to ensure impeccable execution of their vision.

    Samantha and Roger took an imaginative, modern and bold approach to their wedding style, taking rein of much of the decor and outfit design. Their pre-wedding functions were primarily DIY undertakings, and this was a meaningful way to infuse their personalities into the collective experience of all present.

    Dream Party Decor, as always, rose majestically to the occasion with a richly colorful Sangeet tent, a delicate mandap complementing the green outdoors at the Manor by Peter and Paul’s and a jaw-droppingly sumptuous reception design at the Hilton Suites on Warden.

    Together, this couple also took to the drawing board to conceptualize a custom, unique and bespoke array of bridal outfits whose fabrication they entrusted to the likes of Sabyasachi and Archana Rao.

    Taking pride in their hard work and the jovial sense of competition they share between one another, Samantha and Roger exceeded their own expectations for their wedding as they worked collaboratively to bring their fairy tale to life. True to their pact, this dynamic couple plans to continue in the same spirit of teamwork as they launch their own State Farm Agency. (Talk about #couplegoals)

    A hearty congratulations and best of luck to the newly weds!

    Come back next week to see something really special and unique from their Reception

  • Anisha + Kushal – ‎An Indian Fiesta‬ – Destination Mexico

    Those of us who are fortunate (crossing fingers) enough to be familiar with big- fat- Indian weddings, know that even destination weddings can turn out to be an elaborate affair. Typically, anywhere between 70-100 guests at a destination wedding can start to feel a little large. This one was An Indian Fiesta. Our adventurous bride and groom, Kushal and Anisha, had 170 guests fly in from all over the world to romantic Cancun, Mexico where they had their wedding at the dreamy, adults-only, Le Blanc Spa Resort.

    While a planner is an invaluable resource in these types of scenarios, Kushal and Anisha, despite having to coordinate from afar, were completely involved in the planning process with the wedding planner. From the catering, to florals and off-site itineraries – they took just as much interest to ensure impeccable service and a most memorable weekend for their dear ones.

    The group’s mood was buoyant and playful. Warm sunshine, powdery-soft sands and turquoise waters in their welcoming abundance, only added to the constant fun and laughter of the weekend. The choice of a pool party for the guests was a refreshing and creative take on standard pre-wedding activities. Not to mention, it was a visual feast of exotic colors and flavors that left other resort guests drooling at the majesty which is indian wedding tradition. Among many things, one of our favourites was the bride’s choice in Proteas Bouquet for her Wedding.

    To this bride and groom, wedding film was extremely important and they wanted us to capture their special days in a story driven manner. We proceeded to take the exciting narrative of that weekend and incorporated some unique visual and sound elements that would help to illustrate the storybook feel of their fairy tale that came to life. Against a backdrop of crashing waves, under clear, open skies, and in the environs of a most unconditional love, we have the privilege of presenting to you- the spirited union of Kushal and Anisha.

  • 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.

  • Sachin + Anu – Next Day Edit

    When you are in a business where friends can evolve into family, and work is as a result, absolute fun- couples like Anu and Sachin become the benchmark of professional experience- wonderful, good-hearted, loving people whose special moments are a privilege to capture.

    For us, it is not uncommon for us to cover multiple couples’ weddings in a family. In this particular tightly knit network of family and friends, Anu and Sachin are close to the tenth couple whose union we have captured. Look closely, and you may even notice a few of our specially placed cameos of familiar lovebirds and now, their little ones!

    This bride and groom are part of a circle of individuals who love as fully as they live. The couple’s wedding events resonated with this very abundance of spirit.

    The decor was classy, tasteful and full of delicate florals and color- a great job as always by one of Toronto’s top decor savants, Raj Matharu of Dream Party Decor.

    From the Mehndi to Reception, laughter filled the air. The Sangeet featured some beautifully heartfelt performances by friends and relatives, a true way to pay homage to the sweet couple. Anu’s entrance was especially emotional, and the groom was all eyes (and a few tears), as his bride made her way to him. In this business, it is often the groom’s reaction that is worth a thousand words. It was a moment that neither Anu or Sachin will quickly forget.

    What a great way to launch the wedding season, and always a pleasure when the couples are not just clients, but great friends. Be sure to stay tuned as well for our Slow Motion Booth Video from their reception coming out this Saturday April 23rd at 8 am right here.

  • Evergreen Bollywood Performances – Rohit + Angelee – Sangeet

    2016 Wedding Season is here. We have some amazing weddings lined up this year of dynamic couples. As we prepare for a luxurious wedding this coming weekend, it just seemed fitting to launch with Evergreen Bollywood Performance from one of our last year’s gem.

    Witness the Evergreen Bollywood Performances at Rohit + Angelee’s Sangeet by their friends and family. You can watch their Next/Same Day Edit here

  • 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.
