As we travel through the world to produce concept and wedding films for couples, one thing that stays consistent in our experiences is the tourist observation.
During the last eight months, we skyped with Ayesha and Amir over a dozen times to get to know their story and personality. Most of our meetings were with Ayesha due to Amir’s busy schedule at work. Not to take it away from Ayesha, who would finish her work late in the morning at the hospital and then will have the energy to talk for almost an hour at 3 am GMT time.
In this world, there are people who take time to open up to others but Ayesha and Amir don’t belong in that category. From our initial conversations, we hit off really well with them. A couple full of life, energy and humbleness.
Last year, we paid tribute to our 2011 couples and welcomed our 2012 Couples. This year, we want to continue the tradition and pay thanks to our magnificent 2012 couples as welcome our exciting 2013 couples.
This film is created in tribute to all the couples of 2012 who inspired us to be better everyday.
Working with creative couples has it’s own unique taste. Both Shayan + Sri and their siblings are all singers, one of which has a professional album coming out soon. On top of that both of their siblings have strong interest in film production, dancing and writing. Sri must consider doing voiceover as he has a very distinct and elegant voice.
Shayan + Sri consulted with us sometime ago and upon first meeting, we knew that it would be a treat work with them. Aside from being creative, they are both so soft spoken, calm and humble individuals. They are one of those people who you actually want to listen to and await for their next selection of words.
And the chemistry between them is so silent that it screams nothing but love. We feel that the following Next Day Edit truly captured this personality and their wedding story.
As we are travelling across Canada for a very special project under our parent company Sky Blue Productions, we couldn’t resist but share Nupur + Arup Reception trailer. Currently, we are in Whistler, BC with some beautiful views. We will keep you in the loop about this project but for now enjoy this, before we head to Europe for another special project.
In life everything happens for a reason. And there was a reason, we started to meet Nupur 2 and a half years ago. Between then and now, we have met Nupur at almost a dozen weddings and she was an integral part for some of them. If you are a follower of our work, I am sure you have seen her in countless videos of ours. But among everything the most amazing stat is that she had to be a bridesmaid 27 times before her turn can come.
Nupur officially signed with us last year and her fiancee at the time Arup who works in New York was unable to meet us due to his busy schedule. At last when we did meet him, we realized why Nupur connected with him so well. A Cool, Calm and Composed customer.
Like any story, everything was leading up perfectly to their wedding date until Hurricane Sandy struck on the east coast. As per Nupur herself, “the pandit declared that the wedding has to happen with or without him”, naturally causing a stir. But our groom managed to arrive just a day before the festivities began.
Now that would have been challenging wedding to attend and edit for us too. Our heartfelt congratulations to the amazing Nupur and Arup. And much much thank you for allowing us to cover their special day which reunited us with 10 of our past couples.
You can watch their Next Day Edit here. For their Reception Trailer, we wanted to do something very special for Nupur. Having document almost a dozen weddings where she was a guest, half of those she played an integral part at. Keeping that in mind, we pulled of a surprise for her.

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.
The best thing about weddings is that the most unexpected things take place. At times, a couple’s friends pull off a special performance or a family member says something embracing about them. In the case of Saad + Komal, it was something Saad did at the wedding reception. And it was something so special that we made sure it was included in the next/same day edit. So we literary had 23 minutes on the mark to get at least 30 seconds worth of shots in the final edit. What did he do? We will leave for you to figure out.
Now going back to the couple. For us it’s so important to meet and talk to the couple before anything. We don’t take any steps until there is a casual discussion. And most of our couples are working either outside of Toronto, Canada or even in some cases outside of North America. It becomes difficult to communicate with them. But like I said, it’s so important that we will make sure it happens.
Although Saad + Komal are both Torontonians, Komal has been in New York for a while for work and education purposes. We did meet Saad in person but ended up skyping with Komal during our meeting. And at times it can be difficult to feel a connection with the couple and especially, when they are not together. However, there is such great chemistry between these two that it was a walk in the park. We skyped/met once and after that things were set to roll.
And what connects them in our opinion. His calmness and her simplicity brings them together. Enjoy.

In order to produce a good wedding film, it is imperative that both the groom and the bride are involved in their wedding as if it was their passion. It makes a huge difference. And folks it’s not just about us able to capture the memorable moments but it’s primarily the people in those moments. If one is quiet and the other is chirpy, it just doesn’t translate very well on the screen.
Safi + Sahar are similar to almost every one of our couple but have a unique chemistry. One loves to crack jokes and the other loves to laugh even when she is dealing with a stress situation. That doesn’t mean that they don’t take their life seriously.
Although, we had a strong sense of that when we met them but to our surprise, they were very much like that even during their wedding festivities. We wish them all the best.
It is very rare that we get last minute bookings but whenever we do, most of the time, they turn out to be an amazing experience. Having seen our work at Saif + Somi’s wedding, Ricky & Fiona immediately decided to avail our services for both their local and destination weddings.
In almost every relationship, there is always one person who is more energetic or outgoing than the other one until of course with time, they both become very similar. In this case, Ricky is the more up beat and always looking for an adventure. Fiona on the other hand is a little different but is willing to tag along with all of Ricky’s crazies ideas.
Their Toronto wedding took place in their huge backyard whilst their destination wedding took place in Punta Cana which you can watch here
Although, we try to differentiate as much as possible from our previous works, here, we tried to make this a different film from the destination wedding.
It’s very rare to see a Bride donating her wedding dress to an organization that help a bride in need. Ekta is one of those brides. She donated her wedding dress to BridesProject.com in order to help support the fight against cancer. Kudos.
We met Ekta earlier this year. Unfortunately, we were unable to meet her fiancee who was out of town until the week before the wedding. Ekta is a very simple girl and had a simple wedding. And there is nothing wrong with that at all.
Upon our initial meeting, we hit off really well with her and stressed to her the need of meeting Abishek, her fiancee. We always prefer to meet the couple as a couple way in advance as it helps us derive ideas and get to know them better. As I said, we couldn’t meet with Abishek in advance but that didn’t really matter. Because within 5 minutes of our first meeting, we got along really well and understood each other very quickly.
Ekta and Abishek have a very strong chemistry and you will see that in our Next Day Edit.
Do Quirky and Calm go together? If you disagree, you may want to change your mind after watching Saj + Jessica in this Next/Same Day Edit.
If you haven’t already seen their film “Meeting at Pizza Hut”, please do so before watching this by going over here. There is certainly a connection at the end of that film and beginning of this.
This is probably the 5th wedding we have done this year where the bride lets the groom run the show. Since grooms are not used to dealing with wedding details, they normally end up going overboard. In other words, Groomzilla Nothing wrong with that, in fact, we welcome that. We end up working with those couples who are both more or less heavily involved in their wedding instead of just one. Otherwise, there is no fun.
Saj + Jessica were definitely a pleasure to work with. As I mentioned, Saj is a very quirky type of a guy. He has a certain way of saying things that end up being humorous. Whereas Jessica is a quiet but very particular about what she wants. Their wedding had many unique factors but one that stood out was that they got married at Toronto’s International Centre, which to our knowledge has never held a wedding before.
