  • Omar + Maham – Wedding Film – Elegant Garden Wedding

    The best things about a wedding is that the most unexpected and beautiful memories take place. Sometimes it can be a surprise performance put on by family members or a touching speech. Omar and Maham’s wedding was no exception since their wedding was filled with such moments. From a surprise performance by the groom’s father to the bride and groom’s ‘Kala Chashma’ entrance, it was truly a magical wedding for Omar and Maham.

    Maham was a radiant bride and her outfits were exquisite for all three events. She knew what style would work for each day and wanted to ensure that the outfits complimented Omar’s outfit perfectly.

    We are truly blessed to work with couples who are passionate about their vision and proud to work with such a couple. They had strived to great lengths to ensure that their Mehndi, Nikkah and Walima were truly intimate and rustic events.

    As you can see, they put a lot of thought into the event space, guest list and overall look of each event. The mehndi took place at Terrace on the Green with an outside gazebo space. It was a nostalgic treat for all the guest with colourful decor and a blanket of stars fora truly unique event. The nikkah took place at the groom’s parents house with a DIY outdoor decor setup that was done with the help of Omar’s family. The Walima took place at the Shaw Centre with the backdrop of the Ottawa Skyline.

    We wish Omar and Maham a hearty congratulations and all best as they start a new chapter in their lives.

  • Evergreen Bollywood Performances – Rohit + Angelee – Sangeet

    2016 Wedding Season is here. We have some amazing weddings lined up this year of dynamic couples. As we prepare for a luxurious wedding this coming weekend, it just seemed fitting to launch with Evergreen Bollywood Performance from one of our last year’s gem.

    Witness the Evergreen Bollywood Performances at Rohit + Angelee’s Sangeet by their friends and family. You can watch their Next/Same Day Edit here

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Introducing: tumble on tumblr – dancing on the tunes

    For the past 5 months, we have been working on launching a new brand ‘tumble on tumblr: dancing on the tunes’. What is that, you may ask? Every year we do about 14-15 weddings and each and everyone of them have some sort of dance performance. Whether it’s from friend and family members or professional dancers, there is always something there to entertain guests.

    So what we have decided to do is entertain our guests, fans or viewers. We have a launched a new website filmstyleweddings.tumblr.com. It’s main purpose is to feature dance performances from various weddings that we cover on weekly basis. They will be from some of the most recent weddings as well as some from the past.

  • Amit + Priya – Next Day Edit

    We met Priya almost 3 years ago at her brother’s Shawn and his wife Sapna’s concept film back in 2009. Incidentally, that was the first time Amit met Priya as well. Small world.

    We have known Priya for 3 years now and between now and then have met her at countless weddings. She is a shy, down to earth and simple girl who expects nothing from life but is always willing to give. As for Amit, we began seeing him at various weddings as well as time progressed. He is full of life, fun and quite opposite from Priya. Not that opposite but enough for them to be 100% compatible with each other.

    Our most challenging task is to get to know the couple as a couple after they sign up with us. In this case, it was a little different. We already knew Priya very well but it was Amit who we grew to learn about in the past year. And believe it or not that’s always challenging. It’s easy to get to know two people and their tastes towards life, each other a lot faster but somehow very difficult when you already know one person and you have to get to know the other person separately. But we did and it was an experience getting to know him. He is one of those guys who is always looking to be better at what they do.

    The wedding festivities kicked off few days before the grande ceremony itself. Both families are so full of warmth that we blended as their own. From the heroic entrance of the groom to the beautiful bride, everything about this wedding was perfect. The people, the decor, the chemistry all clicked.

  • 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.

  • Concept Film: Kismet Se Milna (A Chance Encounter)

    In July of 2010, Cassandra Williams approached us for a concept production, having seen a few productions on our website. She also wanted to take us on for our cinematography services, only she’d already booked with another company. But following our conversations, she decided to opt out of her initial contract to sign up with us instead. And thus began this journey.

    And thus began the brainstorming. We met up with both Cassandra and her fiancé Ravi Ramjit and came up with the idea of a Medley themed production that would highlight their relationship from its inception (at their first meeting) to its culmination (in their marriage), using bollywood songs from the 60’s onwards. We’d been waiting to realize just such a production for a while now, and had been waiting for just the right couple to star in it. So when Ravi and Cassandra mentioned the idea, we jumped on board! And boy, did these two prove to be just the couple for such a production:). Well done guys!

    Our very first task was to find 9 songs that would aptly reflect Ravi and Cassandra’s connection and chemistry. The second part of course was the preparation for the multiple shoots. Finding the right locations, costumes and pulling off all the right looks for all the different songs was challenging. And filming proved challenging as well as tight schedules loomed large, particularly Ravi’s. But where there’s a will, there’s a way:). We broke the filming down into two parts: the first part consisted of 3 full days of filming and the second, 2 full days of filming. The final product is, I must say, phenomenal. We outdid ourselves, and special thanks goes out to Olga Make-Up, Body and Art for creating almost identical looks to those of the songs we selected. And to Fine Cakes by Zehra, CTC West and Crystal Fountain Banquet Hall, all of whom were a tremendous help in the completion of this project.

    And finally, *a round of applause* to the couple: Ravi and Cassandra, may we be the first to say that you two would give any bollywood couple a run for their money:). *Cheers and Applause!*


  • Annum + Saad – Next Day Edit

    Sometimes eloquence lies in simplicity Although Annum and Saad’s wedding appeared to be no less than Royalty but their wedding was very traditional. Something we see very rare these days.

    We met Annum mid last year but didn’t get a chance to meet Saad up until few months ago since he is from Boston. Although, it’s always good to meet the couple before the wedding, we learned a lot about Saad very much through Annum. And that really is a testament to their relationship.

    We wish them all the best

  • Double Wedding: Zohaib + Jennifer & Shoaib + Danielle

    Double Wedding: Zohaib + Jennifer & Shoaib + Danielle

    In all our years of business, never before had we covered a double wedding. We were a little anxious about the challenge of it all, doing justice to the stories of two separate couples, even while dividing our attention between them. But then, we’re nothing if not up to meeting a challenge.

    Still, we were a little apprehensive, having heard stories of competing brides and grooms and all the relevant drama. But let it be clear here and now that these stories proved altogether baseless with Zohaib/Jennifer and Shoaib/Danielle.

    Brother grooms, Zohaib and Shoaib were very…well, very brotherly . And the two brides—Jennifer and Danielle, seemed to be long time friends, whether they were busy in the bridal room, helping each other out with jewelry and final touches, or on the dance floor, pulling each other along in their dance movements.

    These two couples shone in their respective moments, and all together as well. They and their families managed to pull off a double wedding with grace, humility and laughter. Cheers!

    P.S. A special *tip of the hat* goes to Abid Syed, the grooms’ brother-in-law. Abid took care of everything—literally—from planning the event to implementing it, in all its aspects, and he did it with much grace: Nicely done sir!

  • SDE – Melissa & Bruno

    Common to all ‘brides to be’ is the aspect of organization. But Melissa was far more than just
    organized. She was meticulous. Beginning with our first meeting with Bruno and Melissa,
    right up until the final productions, Melissa remained very involved, touching base regularly
    in order to ensure that every detail of production was well covered. And of course, it was.

    The wedding, held at Luina Station, was as unique as the two people who were united and as
    unique as their loved ones and their good friends. It was also a wedding as traditional as any
    other wedding, filled with tears and laughter. Tears at the memory of Bruno’s late mother and
    laughter at the soccer jokes that often erupted, since half the guests were Italian and the other
    half, Portuguese. All in all, it was a wedding to be remembered.

    Here is the Same Day Edit, highlighting the reception and the couple’s first dance. This was
    shown approximately an hour after their first dance.

  • 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).
