  • Suman + Sunny – Fusion Wedding – Next Day Edit

    Suman + Sunny’s fusion wedding brought two traditions together in one celebration. This Next Day Edit, a film cut and ready to share the day after the wedding, captures the highlights in just over five minutes.

  • 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!

  • Suman + Neeraj – Next Day Edit – Featuring ‘Tujhe Dekha to Yeh Jana Sanam’

    Suman & Neeraj

    Ever so often, amidst all of the sparkling and glamorous modernity of South Asian wedding trends, a comfortingly refreshing pause can be found in a return to the classics. Be it in vintage style, timeless music or a taste for tradition, it can safely be declared that there is no substitute for the simple, feel-good joys of days past.

    Suman and Neeraj sought to recreate this with their wedding, blending old ways with new, in their honest, creative, and loving style. True fans of Bollywood, they searched for just the right music and imagery to convey the significance of the happy-endings all Bollywood heroes and heroines deserve. With Neeraj’s sharp looks and impressive style, and Suman’s playful eyes and infectious laugh…you would almost think they were right out of a Bollywood romance themselves.

    Their Sangeet was an absolute visual delight; a nostalgic treat for guests with fun poster features set up by the ever- unique Dream Party Decor. Neeraj’s sister (whose wedding four years ago, we also captured) along with the help of an enthusiastic group of family and friends, had a fantastic performance lined up for her brother and sister in law to be.

    As with any wedding, Bollywood or not, love has its moments of pure magic. During the ceremony, the kiss Suman firmly but poignantly places on her father’s hand as he clasps the hands of his daughter and new son, says it all- at the heart of every wedding, no matter the time, place or people, is the greater strength of the families it has forged as one.

    Congratulations to our newlyweds and their families on a beautiful union!

  • 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.

  • Rishi + Radhika – Next / Same Day Edit

    Weddings, you say? Well, they are all about the bride of course!

    These days, not so much. Times are changing, grooms- to-be are becoming a much more heard and important voice in the wedding planning process, and why not- it is just as much their day to shine. In the case of Rishi and Radhika, it might have very well seemed as if it was all about the groom, and to add even more of a plot twist for our readers, Radhika was loving every minute of her groom’s spotlight. Who says brides don’t know how to share the glory of their moment?

    Rishi and Radhika’s union is especially dear to me, as I have known Rishi for almost 6 years. He has been a guest at numerous weddings that our team has worked over the years and we have covered such a large number of weddings within his own family that I seem to have lost track after the eighth

    This couple possesses a very balanced dynamic that helped them tremendously with the stress that often accompanies preparing for the big day. Vibrant and full of energy, Rishi was an enthusiastic perfectionist when it came to making sure that all of the details would seamlessly come together for the events. Radhika was always on hand, calm and collected, and readily available to assure Rishi that while events are rarely ever 100% of the way you expect, they are always entirely yours to make the best of. In that vein, they are only a disappointment if you allow them to be. Rishi is lucky to have such a wise lady by his side.

    With my utmost love and respect, I would like to wish this special couple only the best that married life has to offer, and I have a hunch that I will be seeing them very soon, again.

  • 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.

  • Jasue + Prince – Next Day Edit

    Destination weddings are typically trickier to plan and execute, since they are held in an another city, province or country.

    Jasue and Prince’s wedding, was an example of how, despite logistical challenges, destination events are among the most fun, creative and energized. Their festivities commenced in Edmonton, Alberta with Prince’s vibrant sangeet. It was all in the details when it came to the decor, and the amazing centrepieces the room featured were grand in effect. Once the party got started, the groom’s family hit the dance floor with some seriously show – stopping moves and the crowd was left begging for more.

    A week later, pre-wedding events were held by Jasue’s side in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Richly hued and rife with emotion, the events were tastefully and meaningfully coordinated. Not even the rain on one out of the three days of festivities, could put a damper on the excitement.

    The bride and groom had helpfully complementary personalities. Throughout the entire wedding process, Jasue was calm and collected while Prince was brimming with energy and enthusiasm. Facing the stress of coordinating a destination wedding, their temperaments definitely helped to keep eachother at ease.

    Aside from the fact that there were many phenomenal elements to their wedding- not to mention, the groom’s surprise gift to the bride- the one thing that wowed everyone was the impressive departure of both the groom and bride in a helicopter. No, we are not talking about our drones, but an actual helicopter. The crowd went wild and it was certainly a moment for everyone to remember.
    Truly deserving of marital happiness and success, we wish Jasue and Prince much joy and a continued sense of adventure as they journey through life together.

  • Sonia + Manny -Multi Million $ Wedding Extravaganza -Next / Same Day Edit

    Sonia and Manny’s wedding extravaganza will leave you starry-eyed and breathless. If you are planning your own wedding it is chock full of inspiration, so much so, it is featured in the current issue of WedLuxe magazine which is in stores now. This is the second time we have had our work highlighted in Wedluxe, and when you take a look at this wedding, rest assured, your highly coveted vision boards will come to life right before your eyes.

    The wedding was sparklingly luxe and bespoke in theme, and our bride Sonia went above and beyond in making sure everything was custom and precisely as she pictured. There are a number of ways to make a statement at one’s wedding, and Sonia chose all of the right ones. Her wedding stationery was regally bold and colorful, hand-selected and carefully planned. Her ceremony invitations were printed by the same store in India that created Abhishek and Ashwariya’s. The outstanding Paleterra did her reception invitations, and their effect was both iconic and luxurious in design.

    The stunning red bridal lengha that she wore was fabricated by the famous Sabya Sachi, replete with all of the fine handiwork and crystals that brides dream about. Sonia’s gown for the reception was designed by Ines Di Santo, with a sweeping skirt and a jeweled neckline that dazzled every which way she turned.

    Sonia entrusted Dream Party Décor with the responsibility of making her dream wedding a reality, and together, they scored a perfect 10 in achieving that. From the Mehendi to Reception, there was not a detail missed. A live camel was even present at the Sangeet! For the Milni ceremony at the Gurdawar, a red carpet entrance fit for a king heralded Manny. (Brides, this is an impressively thoughtful touch, although this day is very much about you- the grooms deserve a bit of the fanfare too).

    Floral design is a key piece in creating an extravagant look at any event. Going to extremes this year, floral backdrops are making waves in events around the world – and in a good way! Sonia did not miss the memo. She left it to Dream Party Décor to implement a floral design into her backdrop for a dramatically lush and romantic effect. To top it all off, when the couple was announced to their audience, the stage revolved to reveal them- poised and statuesque- in front of their gorgeous backdrop. WHAT an entrance!

    Sonia and Manny had what many would call a dream wedding, but what makes it truly magical, is the love, support and humility that their respective families have for the couple and toward each other. Both Sonia and Manny declared that it could not have been the fairytale it was, without their families by their sides, and so, how deserving they all were, to share in their children’s dream come true.

  • Shinda + Amrita – Next/Same Day Edit

    Leonardo da Vinci once said that, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” And such sophistication, with yet a distinct simplicity, can be found in Shinda & Amrita. They are a gem of a couple whose sense of style goes beyond anything you may have ever seen at a wedding. Every single element from their outfits to jewelry to decor had so much detail in it, that the word itself falls too short.

    Both Shinda + Amrita are complete KOOLKATS. Not only do they have a knack for coordinating outfits for one another but they also carry their outfits and themselves in a fittingly complimentary manner. Their unfeigned positivity regardless of the challenge is a memorably commendable trait that they possess. A fine example of that is the e-mail we received from them a few days before the wedding. In it, the couple disclosed to us that the temple at which they were originally planning to be married was still under construction so they had to pull something together quickly to find a replacement. The email stated, “So luckily we found the perfect Gurudwara for us. It has been pure madness haha but hopefully all goes smoothly now “. That e-mail truly defined their calmness and patience throughout the process and it’s an indispensable, particularly difficult, attitude to have when planning your own wedding.

    The gorgeous wedding attire and Chinoesseri theme featured at their reception was jaw- droppingly arresting. Everyone including their partners and guests raved about the stunning outfits,make-up, cake and design concepts. The seamlessness of their planning was simply due to their confident personalities. They knew what they wanted and left everything else to the professionals and the results were spellbinding.
