  • Farah + Nadeem – Official Reception Trailer

    Farah and Nadeem were no strangers to us here at Film Style Weddings, as we had worked a few times before with the family, and even had the pleasure of capturing her sister’s wedding. As many times as it has happened to us, it never seems to get old- working with a families such as theirs, relationships are gradually developed that far surpass the professional kind. These families, have a tremendous culture of tradition, support and love and the union between the two, thanks to Farah and Nadeem was heartwarming to behold for all present.

    Farah was a delightful fusion between the modern bride, inspired by pinterest and all things crafty, yet there was a strong sense of respect for older traditions and practices that could be seen in many of the finer details as well. She knew exactly what she envisioned, and was extremely efficient in organizing her ideas and ensuring that her partners executed them. Her success in doing so, had a lot to do with being confident at the drawing board, but furthermore, having that confidence in her partners as well. To all brides who are in the planning stage- trusting your partners is key! With Farah as evidence, do your research beforehand and you shall be quite happy with the end result.

    Nadeem was the perfect complement to her bubbly attitude. More of a technical sort, he allowed Farah to work with more of the details and prioritized the fulfillment of her wishes. He was a stylish, friendly and very personable groom. Far from uninvolved, his laid- back attitude was an invaluable asset on the day of the ceremony as it rained much more than expected. While their photo shoot was impacted, his good humor allowed all to pull through with a smile and that is exactly the kind of mindset one needs on one of the most important days of their life. Nothing was going to get in the way. If anything did…it was the constant reminder that this was a couple who were going to be happy, organized and always creative for a very VERY long time.

    Their reception was full of colors and joy. The upbeat program with some beautiful performances and eye catching act by Fire Thrower left the audience breathless.

  • Shamsa + Nabeel – Official Trailer

    Shamsa and Nabeel’s wedding was the kind that reminds us of what a marriage really celebrates- a shining new love between two individuals, their families, and a spirited sense of togetherness.

    Each of their wedding functions was full of mirth, laughter and excitement- the guests seemed just as happy to be there as the bride and groom were. The decor was colorfully ornate and tasteful each day, and their reception backdrop incorporated a magnificently starry, shimmering fabric- something we are sure will become a trend in evening reception decor.

    Shamsa made a beautiful bride, her use of jewel tones and warm hues in each of her outfits complemented her stunningly. Nabeel was a smiling, good-natured groom who wore his happiness as proudly as his wedding attire. Together, they were the picture of a blissful bride and groom, looking forward to their future together and surrounded by the company and well- wishes of their family and friends.

  • Ali + Komal – Next/Same Day Edit

    If there were ever an award for an outstanding display and range of colours in a wedding- Ali and Komal’s would be a top contender. Their use of mouthwateringly bright, invigorating colors is the quintessence of every decorator’s dream. Their switch to sheer, shimmering fabrics, glowing candlelight and cool, elegant whites for their reception decor was the perfect finish to their week of vibrant events.

    The couple had a very traditional muslim ceremony and stylish modern reception. A visible chemistry shared between the bride and groom was noted in each event, for despite the conservative tone of certain rituals- the energy in the air was full of excitement and a new, sacred kind of love. Komal wowed their guests in her spectacular bridal attire and there was hardly a moment that Ali was not smiling. Both were looks that wedding fashion police would applaud.

    Ali and Komal are both very family- oriented and it was clear that each of them had long desired a large, stylish wedding. It was indeed an occasion with plenty of family, good cheer and fun married with uniquely feel-good aspects like group performances, adorable messages for the couple, a breathtaking fireworks show and floating Japanese lanterns. It was truly a whirlwind of colors and deep emotions which even for us, too soon, came to an end. Congrats to the couple!

  • 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!

  • Alia + Zuhair – Next Day Edit

    Every bride wants her wedding to be uniquely special and worth remembering. Some stand out because of breathtaking decor, others for a mouthwatering menu and then there are those weddings that are admired especially because of the love so noticeably shared between the couple and their families.

    Alia and Zuhair’s wedding was memorable because it so beautifully encompassed each of these components, if not more.

    Alia designed four of her outfits, including that of her wedding ceremony and reception. A hugely successful decision on her part, for she wowed all present. Her desire to do something creative was demonstrated at every event, from menhndi, to sangeet to wedding ceremony.

    Ultimately, what made Alia and Zuhair stand out as a couple was their strength of confidence and attention to detail, as this Next Day edit illustrates. Zuhair’s calm, collected demeanor is the perfect balance to Alia’s bubbly personality. In our opinion, this couple had an ideal harmony of elements to make their wedding definitely worth remembering.

  • Safi + Sahar – Wedding / Reception – Official Trailer

    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.

  • Farrah + Saed – Next Day Edit – Featuring ‘Classic Bollywood 70s’ Music

    We film about 15-17 weddings every year and we meet couples who are obviously in love. Some express their love to each other with pride while other are more private.

    When it comes to groom to be, rarely we have met anyone who is as expressive as Saed. He is literary one of those guys won’t feel awkward expressing his love for his wife in front of his male friends. A true lover.

    And for Farah she is one of the most down to earth girls, we have ever met. She is a smart, intellectual and most of all very loving to people around her.

    As a couple, they have such strong energy that just attracts everyone around them.

    Now, we had to make sure that we produce a Next Day Edit by keeping all of the above in mind. The question was to make something that spots on tell their personalities. And to do so, we took a huge and I am hoping a successful risk.

    To my knowledge, there hasn’t been a contemporary wedding film featuring classic 70s Bollywood Music. And those who listen to 70s Bollywood music, know that it was one of the most romantic era of Bollywood songs. The music, the poetry and the singers are rarely found these days.

    And how does that connects to Farrah and Saed? Pure simple. Saed’s unconditional and expressive love for his wife is expressed via this beautiful song and lyrics.

  • Destination Norway – Ambreen + Javed – Next/Same Day Edit

    We have always been blessed to work some of the most amazing couples around the world. Whether you call it pure luck or simply a perfect connection or whatever else, one thing is certain. It would never be possible if we didn’t have thorough consultations with them.

    Ambreen and Javed contacted us from Oslo, Norway to cover their wedding in July of this year. They emailed us and as always our first response before anything was, let’s skype. And that we did. We video conferenced for good 45 minutes and learned about their story, explained our side of things and so on.
    That then lead dozens of email discussions and few more skype meetings.

    Aside from the concept film that we produced for them (which you can see at https://vimeo.com/45580311 ), we also produced a Next Day Edit. From the beginning, the focus for the Next Day Edit was to produce something upbeat and energetic. After the first event (mendi), we were 100% sure that we would have to produce something extremely jubilant but romantic at the same time. Every wedding film, we produce, there is always an underlying theme. In this case, it was pure fun and dancing as the main element with sub plot being the couple’s wedding story.

    Each and every day was full of vibrant colour and beautiful moments. However, our favourite parts were the mode of transportation that were used on each evening. At mehndi night, Ambreen entered in on a Rickshaw where as on the wedding day, Javed made an entrance on a Horse Carriage and last but not least, the reception featured them both coming on Rolls Royce.

    Ambreen, Javed and our team literary spent 9 out of 10 days together in Norway and we had a great time. We would like to thank the couple, their families and friends for an amazing hospitality for 10 days.

  • Vadiyyan – Teaser

    What happens when a couple gets together to get married in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

    This is the teaser of Javed & Ambreen’s concept film. The Concept Film will be online on July 12th followed by Next Day Edit.

    Stay tuned.
