  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Vikas + Shikha – Next / Same Day Edit

    Vikas and Shikha had one of those timeless, feel-good weddings with all of the right ingredients to make it a classic; colorful details, planned surprises and sweeping amounts of love were the focal points of their events.

    Both the bride and groom come from a tightly woven circle of family and friends and their participation in the couple’s wedding was a testament to how special they are to them. The bride’s sisters played an important role in the organization of each function, so a note to all of the prospective brides out there- believe it or not, you don’t have to do it ALL by yourself for it to be perfect. Sometimes, as in Shikha’s experience, your loved ones know you best.

    Vikas too, is fortunate to be surrounded by a group who dotes on him. His groomsmen were constantly by his side, ensuring all went smoothly under their careful watch. From setting the tone for Vikas’ debonair entrance in a Lamborghini to their knack for cracking jokes to punctuate those rare but golden moments of pre-wedding jitters. That nervousness did not last for long however. Take one look at the adoring gaze Vikas captures his bride in as she makes her way down the aisle toward him- these are the moments that make our job so much more worth it.

    It was a pleasure working with this terrific couple and their loving family and we wish them all of the best as they progress into the next exciting chapter of their lives together. Our cameras are ready when you are!

  • James + Jessica – Wedding Film – Shot on 3 RED EPICS in 4k

    Before we get to our couple’s wedding day story, we would like to just provide a brief background about the cameras and the technology used to capture this beautiful and elegant 4k wedding film.

    The individuals that do know what 4k resolution stands for must be thinking how did we manage to film a wedding using 3 Red Epic cameras. Just a background for the individuals who don’t know what 4k resolution is, it’s the future of digital video and digital television. HD TV has 1080p resolution which is composed of two million pixels (1920 x 1080), while a 4K TV (aka Ultra High Definition) has over eight million pixels (3840 x 2160). Therefore, 4K has around four times more resolution than 1080p and produces a clearer picture. But in order for you to experience 4k properly you must have a 4k TV or Monitor. Even though cable companies are at least a few years away from broadcasting 4k signal, digital channels like Netflix already has 4k content and iTunes are not too far away from doing so.

    In 2013, James and Jessica contacted us to find out if we offered 4k wedding films. During that time, we were already using our Red Epic and Scarlet as our 4th camera for our wedding films, corporate films and documentary film projects. We didn’t really think about using all 4k cameras to capture wedding films since it takes up a lot of data for storage, editing and backup purposes. To put things in perspective, at the wedding we filmed everything in 5k so we are able to work with real state in post production. We had 1.7 TB worth of RED SSDs and 128 gb lasted for 30 minutes. So just imagine how much card swapping we were doing as the wedding day went by. In total, we used 3.1 TB worth of space for footage from all 3 cameras.

    The one thing that we didn’t want to jeopardize with so much technology was the story element of their wedding film. We wanted to make sure nothing got lost in the story and that we feel we have done an outstanding job in making sure that story stays above everything else.

    On the day of the wedding, we had 3 Red Epics with Cine-Lenses from Canon & Zeiss. We used Cinevate Duzi Slider and Steadicam for our motion shots. For a wedding, we have never had a shot list as we always believe in filming things as they happen and always to our toes to capture the moments. However, when you are dealing with a large amount of data, constantly downloading footage from the SSD Card on to a drive, backing it up and getting that card ready for next set of shoot then you have to be prepared. We had an extensive shot list so we know what needed to be filmed.

    There have been Red Epic weddings done by others with a single or two cameras but to our knowledge there hasn’t been one with 3 cameras all filmed on 5k resolution with 4k cameras. Having filmed it in 5k allowed us to digitally zoom in on some of the shots and make it look like 4 or 5 cameras at times

    James and Jessica are one of the most sweetest couples we have ever come across. They have an understanding based on respect and love for each other and family. They come from a family-oriented background and wanted to keep their wedding small and intimate with just around 100 guests. Every detail was carefully thought out from the white dress to the red Christian Louboutin shoes to the pink bride maids dresses to the classic tuxedo worn by the groom. It all came out perfect and we hope that it was captured to showcase the wonderfulness of James and Jessica.

    On an end note, our life became so much easier because our couple wanted the wedding on Red Epic cameras and they knew what went behind them. They constantly stayed in touch with us before the wedding to make sure everything runs smoothly and understood that there could be pitfalls. Lucky for everyone, there weren’t any.

    You can watch this incredible film on YouTube Channel in 4k or 1080p. Please keep in mind that you must have a 4k monitor or TV and must distance yourself from it to experience the full 4k resolution.

  • Malay + Abhira – Same Day Edit / Concept Film

    https://vimeo.com/115142684

    Graceful & Classy are the words that we associate with Malay & Abhira. They had an elegant wedding which brought forward two different cultures together. A Gujrati & a South Indian. Our bride Abhira demands perfection in every sense of the word and that is evident in her outfits.

    Abhira designed four of her outfits, including that of her wedding ceremony and reception. This was a hugely successful decision on her part since she wowed all the guests. Her desire to do something creative was demonstrated at every event, from mehndi, to sangeet, to wedding ceremony.

    Our groom is one of the calmest individuals we have ever come across. Regardless of how stressful the situation might be, he will always have a sense of calmness on his face.

    Their wedding festivities were held at various venues including the prestigious Liberty Grande and Arcadian Court.

    In addition, we created a visual concept film for them entitled The Secret of Eternity. This film introduced them before they made their grand entrance at the Reception.
