  • 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.

  • Saad + Komal – Next/Same Day Edit

    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.

  • Zainab + Bilal – Next/Same Day Edit

    Every south asian wedding is filled with colours, joys and smiles all around. However, there is one portion that is very emotional and can make the girl and her side of the family to cry. Some of you may know it as Doli others Vidaai or to some it’s called Rukhsati. Different words, but all have same meaning. This is where bride bids farewell to her family.

    During all this, normally, the groom side is happy as they are gaining someone special but still portray themselves as serious due to the nature of situation. Having done so many of these weddings, we have seen almost everything but never seen the groom and his side of the family in tears as well. And believe it or not that even got to us.

    Wedding is composed of everything from bride and groom to decor to the hall but mostly it’s the people that make the event memorable.
    Zainab and Bilal’s friends and families are simply gems. Everyone from their immediate family to in-laws to cousins all showed so much devotion and love. Each and everyone did their utmost best to make their wedding unforgettable.

    And what to say about Bilal and Zainab. Sometimes, words are not enough to justify someone’s traits. And literary we are speechless.

  • Shafaq + Raghib – Next Day Edit

    Shifa who has been an avid fan of our work along with her sister Nida, approached us in Fall of 2011 for her wedding in January 2012.

    Having rarely done off season weddings, and meeting the bride and her sister, it was something we definitely enjoyed. Both Shifa and Nida had already watched most of our YouTube Channel and pretty much like many of our couples came to us with the mind set of booking.

    As a boutique studio we are eager to meet both the bride and groom but unfortunately her fiancee Raghib couldn’t meet us until close to the wedding due to his work in Middle East but despite his unavailability, we were able to connect with him on phone.

    He arrived here just few days before his wedding and we had the pleasure of meeting them in person.
    Shifa + Raghib wedding festivities were full of colors and love. Both families were so hospitable as they looked after our food situation more than their wedding itself:)

    At the 3rd and final day of our wedding, our entire team was a bit down because we knew it was the last day for us to see them all together.

  • Amy + Harsha – Wedding Highlights

    Interracial weddings have become the norm. And they’re always a great cultural learning experience for us, not to mention tremendous fun. Despite their current day prevalence though, we found Amy and Harsha’s wedding to be one of a kind.  

    Like some of our clients, we never had the chance to meet this couple beforehand due to their distant location. But we communicated over the phone regularly, in order to ensure the perfect capture of their perfect day.

    Above are the highlights of the lavish ceremony and reception

  • Vikram + Manisha – Next Day Edit

    “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” Weddings are just such occasions. They take our breath away. Not just by the beauty of the décor and not just by the great food or venue but above all, by the people who partake in the event: the families that are brought together and the guests that are invited to share in the celebration of the union that a wedding is. Vik and Manisha’s wedding did just that: it took our breath away.

    The décor by Dream Party Décor was phenomenal. But even more phenomenal was the couple’s calm and certainty despite all the stress and distress that a wedding usually entails. I first met Manisha, last year, at Priya and Angat’s wedding. Her eyes lit up as she told me her plans for her big day. She was very clear on what she wanted.

    I then met her and her fiancée Vik at the studio where they gave us further details of what they wanted. When they left the studio, they were confident in our ability and we were confident in their vision.

    And their vision, coming to life, was indeed a grand success. Catch a glimpse of it below in the “Next Day Edit.”

    (Next week we will feature the entrance video, highlighting the wedding prep., but for now, feast your eyes on this).
