Omar + Maham – Wedding Film – Elegant Garden Wedding
The best things about a wedding is that the most unexpected and beautiful memories take place. Sometimes it can be a surprise performance put on by family members or a touching speech. Omar and Maham’s wedding was no exception since their wedding was filled with such moments. From a surprise performance by the groom’s father to the bride and groom’s ‘Kala Chashma’ entrance, it was truly a magical wedding for Omar and Maham.
Maham was a radiant bride and her outfits were exquisite for all three events. She knew what style would work for each day and wanted to ensure that the outfits complimented Omar’s outfit perfectly.
We are truly blessed to work with couples who are passionate about their vision and proud to work with such a couple. They had strived to great lengths to ensure that their Mehndi, Nikkah and Walima were truly intimate and rustic events.
As you can see, they put a lot of thought into the event space, guest list and overall look of each event. The mehndi took place at Terrace on the Green with an outside gazebo space. It was a nostalgic treat for all the guest with colourful decor and a blanket of stars fora truly unique event. The nikkah took place at the groom’s parents house with a DIY outdoor decor setup that was done with the help of Omar’s family. The Walima took place at the Shaw Centre with the backdrop of the Ottawa Skyline.
We wish Omar and Maham a hearty congratulations and all best as they start a new chapter in their lives.

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!

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.

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.

Rohit + Angelee – Luxurious Wedding – Next / Same Day Edit
One of the most exquisite and elegant weddings of 2015 took place during the blistering heat of August. Rohit + Angelee’s wedding festivities were full of mesmerizing colors, majestic set ups and unforgettable moments.
From the breathtaking performances of Angelee’s sisters at Sangeet to the crazy groomsmen at the Baraat, every event unfolded with it’s own beauty.
The events were a constant visual feast for each and every guest. The jewelry, the outfits, the stationery and favors composed of deep jewel tones pervaded many of the feature accents in this wedding.
That being said, details alone do not complete a wedding. There were plenty of all the other ingredients that make up this list: lots of music, dancing, delicious food and most importantly love. As plainly as it is seen in this Next/Same Day Edit, Rohit & Angelee were married in regal style, surrounded by the love of their family and friends.
And to top it all, they hired some of the best Creative Masters for their wedding who delivered beyond expectations.

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.

CK + Robin – Next Day Edit
Last year, CK & Robin approached us to capture their wedding festivities in August of 2015. From our initial consultation to further meetings, one of the things that we noticed with both the groom and the bride was their calmness and honesty. And those two traits truly makes matters much easier not only for us but for the couple as well.
Their wedding was full of elegance and character but the most important aspect was family. At all the events, there was a sense of compromise between every individual. It was as if the families had an understanding of respect and love. The highlight from their pre wedding events was how CK proposed to Robin which was followed by him sweeping her off her feet. That beautiful moment is featured in the Next Day Edit.
But we feel the element that really stood out in their wedding was their regal and stunning outfits. Gone are the days when a bride was the one who dressed like a queen. Nowadays the tides are shifting towards grooms and CK made sure that he matched perfectly with his beautiful bride. Along with the matching outfits, they carried themselves in a sophisticated manner.
As always in order to reflect the couple’s personality properly, we always turn towards the music as a source of inspiration. And the choice here blends perfectly with them or so we think 😉

Bhavi + Nina – Next/ Same Day Edit
In affairs such as weddings, while it is much easier said than done, things are likely to go a great deal smoother if there is a general sense of calm about the place. (This can also greatly add to your value as a bridesmaid or groomsman if you manage to do this for your highly anxious bride and/or groom- rack up those brownie points and make it count that they chose you!)
Such was the case with Bhavi and Nina’s wedding weekend, inclusive of pre-wedding events and finally two completely different ceremonies, all in the same day. It helps of course, that our bride and groom were completely trusting in the entire process and confident that they were surrounded by the best quality of family, friends and vendors to share in and contribute to their big day.
The wedding was a combination of Sikh and Hindu traditions and with a lot of careful and thoughtful coordinating, each ceremony took place at its respective temple in one day. The functions were intimate, respectfully planned and equally solemn- a noteworthy tribute to who Bhavi and Nina are as individuals and the kind of balanced union upon which they have embarked.
Not only did this couple know to expect the best from their day, but they knew how to travel in high style as well. A shiny white Maybach was their impressive method of travel for the day, and truth be told/ the first day of the rest of their lives, never looked better.

Roli + Amit – Next / Same Day Edit
Roli and Amit’s wedding will be remembered long after the bridal trousseau is finally packed away and the last of the Thank You cards are mailed out. It was just THAT kind of wedding.
Loads of fun from start to finish; a swank entrance in a ferrari by the groom, the catchy, groovin moves’ of a vibrant bridal party and the heartfelt emotion that swept the room as the bride made her way down the aisle- there were all kinds of ooh and ahh moments that left guests crying, laughing and begging for more.
Weddings we often hear, are supposed to be about the bride and groom. It is, after all, a time for them to look their finest as they celebrate their nuptials in a style signature to them, surrounded by those they love the most. Roly and Amit are clearly two individuals who have their friends and family rooting for them, just as much as they are rooting for each other. This was especially evident in how emotionally invested their relatives and friends appeared at each event. On top of that, their guests arrived dressed to the nines and ready to party- everyone was going to part of the merrymaking.
Moments of endearing poignance, mischievous fun and joyful celebration were the perfect undertones to carefully planned, and stunningly arranged backdrops and decor.
At the heart of a roaring good time, it was noticeable that a peaceful awe and sense of ceremony would surface ever so often. As history would have it, a good balance is always key to a healthy, successful marriage. What a way to start one! Congrats to Roli and Amit!
