  • 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!

  • Sanjay + Semira – Destination Wedding – Jamaica – Wedding Film

    One of the biggest challenges couples face with the modern-day indian wedding, is striking a happy balance between including everyone on their guest lists while still maintaining a personal, intimate atmosphere. Sanjay and Semira decided to not have to choose, and what resulted was a delightful, trend-setting way of having one’s cake and eating it too. Literally.
    Both our bride and groom are from Toronto,Canada but wanted their ceremony to take place somewhere fun and tropical. As per Sanjay’s suave, stylish personality they held an engagement party in Toronto that was a most elegant affair. Replete with family dances, touching speeches and great dining, for all in attendance it was a memorable night to herald their upcoming union.

    For the ceremony, off to sunny, lush Jamaica they went! Semira is all kinds of bubbly and colorful, and their choice of destination seemed to perfectly compliment the bride’s style. Their ceremony took place under an outdoor mandaap, against a backdrop of dancing palms and blue ocean. As the couple wished it, their closest family and friends were witnesses to their marriage and as per the age-old tradition, Sanjay displayed superior negotiating skills when it came time for him to barter with the bridesmaids for his highly coveted shoes.

    Despite the differences in size of each event, both projected a buoyant mood of strong ties and deep family bonds; core values of South Asian practices and culture. So who says you can’t add the right dash of modern flair to the traditional indian wedding? Sanjay and Semira show us gratifyingly exactly how it is done.

  • Amisha + Niranjan – Same Day Edit

    As Amisha said in her speech, “if someone had told me in January of this year, that I was going to get married in 11 months, i would have been like, whatever”. We all talk about how time is required to get to know your partner before you can tie the knot, but when fate comes into play, you either need next to no time or little time to make your decision. Especially when the groom, in this case Niranjan, says “dude after meeting her, I realized she is exactly like me”.

    And if words are not enough to prove it, you will definitely see that in our Same Day Edit. Both happy campers, full of energy and life. Especially in case of Niranjan, it appeared he was on caffeine all day long but that truly is his personality and Amisha’s as well.

    We wish them all the best.

  • Mohit + Kajal – Same Day Edit

    In the world of south asian weddings, it is rare to see a same day wedding ceremony and reception. It does happen but rarely because there is this fear of things getting delayed (which happens also) and then everything gets pushed forward.

    We have had the pleasure of working on quite a bit of Same Day Weddings and are always intrigued by how the couple transforms from something more traditional to contemporary. The outfits and make up change, the decor changes, everyone dresses differently but what remains constant are people.

    Mohit and Khosla’s wedding was full of emotional moments and we had the honour of capturing it. And what made our job perhaps challenging and interesting is that it was a same day wedding. Like all Same Day Weddings, the pressure is a lot more on us since we have only 4 odd hours to put everything together to show the Same Day Edit at the reception. And this case was no different.

    There is always something that inspires you to overcome any sort of pressure and with Mohit’s and Kajal’s wedding, it was simply them. Their calmness and happiness made our job putting the edit together in less than 4 hours very easy. It’s so true how they say you should surround yourself with positive people. Mohit’s and Kajal’s positive vibe is so powerful that people around them can’t help but be positive.

    *Note: For those of you who are not aware of the difference between Same Day Edit & Next Day Edit, here is a little clarification for them. SDE is simply an edit that is prepared on and from the day off the event. Next Day Edit is when it’s from previous days. And then there is NDE/SDE when it’s a combination of both. Hope that clears things up for everyone.
