  • 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!

  • Farhan + Gopika – Next/Same Day Edit

    It’s not too often that one hears about wedding etiquette for grooms. Of course he is expected to be patient with his overwhelmed and rattled bride, maybe surprise her with a gift before the ceremony and of course, he must smile gallantly at any painful mishap that may occur during the fated proceedings. Our groom Farhan, is an excellent candidate after whom groom etiquette should be modeled. He was impressively anything but passive and uninvolved.

    We first met Farhan when we filmed his brother’s wedding, and it was great to be working with such a pleasant family again. He is a very professional individual, extremely organized and cares a great deal about presentation. He was attentive to detail and particular about what he envisioned for their big day. This highly complemented Gopika’s style, as she was a bit more unhurried and relaxed in personality, and cared primarily about everyone having a good time. You will notice how radiant a bride she makes with not the slightest cloud of stress over her brow. Future brides take note- this is the best beauty secret you’ll ever receive- if you want Gopika’s shining eyes and beaming smile that betray unmatched happiness, you’ll want a groom who can ably share in and alleviate the wedding pressure.

    Their outdoor ceremony took place at the prestigious Turnberry Golf Club. Verdant hills, wine-red hues and seasonal shades of amber comprised the autumnal color palette of the natural landscape around them, enhancing their elegant tent and decor. The reception was a sumptuous affair at the Liberty Grande with lush accents that played upon the ivories, creams, whites and golds that are so au courant this season. Crystals, patterned fabric, soft candlelight and gleaming candelabras were just some of the notably jaw-dropping elements of their evening. Congrats to Gopika and Farhan for such a well- executed, beautiful wedding!

  • Ruchi + Sunny Next/Same Day Edit – Bollywood Medley

    In our 6 years of producing wedding films, we have met a wide variety of couples. Each unique, from character and personality to the style of wedding they desire, and even the finer details in between like their tastes in music.

    When Ruchi and Sunny met us a year ago, they made it very clear that they are both a “Bollywood”- oriented couple. Ruchi’s personal flare easily convinced us of this, but it was a little bit harder for us to notice this trait in Sunny. His job with the United Nations did an especially good job of masking this, as it seemed to us that you couldn’t find a more humble, unpretentious guy.

    We met once in person, and due to their very busy schedules, we relied heavily on Skype to coordinate throughout the year. During the course of our meetings, we also came up with an exciting concept film idea that would take us to Europe all the way to the warm Caribbean. Unfortunately, due to conflicting schedules that did not quite materialize as planned.

    However, after a year of conversations over Skype, their special day finally arrived. Their Sangeet was held at the Eglinton Grande and it definitely encompassed the Bollywood-theme. Among numerous memorable moments, the event’s main highlight was unquestionably Sunny’s singing of “Tujhe Dekha to Ye Jana Sanam”- just so that he could be allowed in by his blushing bride’s family.

    As Bollywood weddings go, the Sangeet heralded an incredibly fun, colorful and traditional wedding ceremony and reception. Since it was our job to capture the magic of these moments on film, we did our best to do so by employing an approach that, to our knowledge, has not been previously used.

    So sit back, relax and enjoy our Bollywood-inspired special.

  • 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.

  • Shano + Tanya – NDE / SDE / Concept – ‘Let’s Talk Wedding Day’

    The first time we met Shano was exactly 3 years ago. We were prepping for his friends Shawn + Sapna Music Video (Main Aur Mrs. Verma). As part of their bridal party, he committed himself and his time to the project. Not to mention, he was also the MC at their wedding as well. Over the years, we met Shano at countless number of weddings and yes he was the MC at their wedding as well. That’s what happens, when you speak well.

    And Tanya came into picture a little later. Of course at that time, there was no set wedding date but both Shano + Tanya made it clear to us that eventually when they get married, they will be availing our services. We won’t lie, it’s always nice to hear that

    So about a year ago, they came to us formally and went over their wedding details. One thing Shano and Tanya told us from the beginning is that they wanted to do a concept film but something simple, that reflects their personality. And as you know that’s always our goal.

    Both Shano + Tanya are very articulate individuals and we wanted to highlight that by making it a fun yet simple film. Hence we came up with a concept called ‘Let’s Talk Wedding Day’. The idea here was to get them to talk about their upcoming wedding and then integrate it with their Same Day Edit.

    Everyone does wonder how their wedding day will unfold, so we thought, wouldn’t it be great to see if the wedding day turns out the way they perceive it before hand.
