This is the 2nd of the two SDEs we put together over this past weekend. This one is for Rupashi & Shreyas. They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony at White Oaks Resort in Niagara-on-the-lake. 
Photography by Garima & Harp from G&H Photography.  They are not only talented photographers but they are great people to work alongside [...]

Two cities. Two back to back weddings. Two Same Day Edits. All this with just two hours of sleep.  Admit SDEs are stressful. But considering the applause, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Here is part one of our SDE marathon weekend, Meena & Paul’s wedding.

Recently, I flew down to the tropical paradise of Costa Rica to cover this beautiful wedding. “Pura Vida” is a term which used by Costa Ricans to greet each other. In english it means Full of Life, which is what this wedding is all about. I will let the clip tell rest of the story. [...]

They say a little rain on your wedding day is good luck.  Karen & Jeff were fortunate enough to have been blessed with luck at the right times during their outdoor ceremony.   Despite the weather and the DVP closure everything went smoothly as planned and on time which gave us a 2 hour window [...]

Every time we post a clip on our facebook group, Doveeni usually is one of the first people to ‘Like’ the clip. Her being an avid facebook user, we thought it would be fitting to tie that aspect into their Next Day Edit. Let’s see who beats her in ‘Liking’ their clip Enjoy!

While we knew Nivetha & Tamanan were one of a kind, we were surprised by how much their special day inspired us. As we try to get ‘that perfect shot’ or ‘that anticipated moment’, the true meaning of the day sometimes escapes us. However, there are couples like, Nivetha & Tamanan who shows everyone what [...]

We kicked off our 2010 season with a concept/music video for Balika and Aravinth’s wedding this past weekend.   Although the concept video was always part of their wedding plans, there was always a doubt that it will not get completed, as Aravinth was constantly out of town.   Finally, a week before their wedding, in true [...]

Last weekend, we were in Ottawa to cover Anu & Jerome’s wedding. It was a well organized, beautiful event. I had about 2 hours between ceremony and reception to put this SDE together. Sprinkled some shots from their pre-wedding shoot which we shot during a beautiful autumn time. Enjoy.

Here is a short teaser we’ve put together from Jennifer & Paul’s wedding past weekend. Enjoy.

Last weekend, I flew down to Chicago, Illinois to cover Neera & Bhavin’s wedding celebrations. From vidhi to garba to the wedding, the non-stop festivities kept me on my toes for the entire weekend. Even though it was a monsoon wedding, mother nature was highly corporative every time we had to do an outdoor shoot. It was refreshing to [...]

This is the 2nd part of the last post, where we posted Sugee & Prasad’s love story. An authoritative voice of the priest explaining the ideology of hindu marriage, Prasad’s vows, and a killer reception entrance by the family and B&G, truly called for a powerful instrumental for this piece. Really like how this SDE turned out and happy to create something out of norm. [...]

Being part of the wedding industry and meeting many engaged couples from different backgrounds, we have heard a great amount of proposal stories.  Sugee and Prasad’s has got to be one of the top proposal stories we have heard thus far. The amount of effort and planning Prasad put in to this proposal is simply unbelievable. Let’s just [...]

This SDE was a real nail biter.  Day after covering Priyanka & Pritesh’s wedding, we were off to London, Ontario to cover Tuba & Celal’s very elegant Turkish muslim wedding.  Their prep started around noon and everything else followed one after the other without any significant break time.  This gave us a real challenge to [...]

Initially,  we weren’t planning on cutting an SDE for Priyanka & Pritesh. A little bit of change of plan in the post-ceremony coverage, left us with a couple of hours to spare. So we decided to use that time to cut this SDE as a surprise to the wonderful couple. I started to cut at 5pm and finished it [...]

This is the Next Day Edit that was played at reception of Francy & Kumar on July 12, 2009. Francy & Kumar decided to have an evening ceremony on the day before; this left me with editing this piece over night (with only couple of hours of sleep) since I had another event to shoot [...]

This is a short teaser we’ve put together for Franceney & Kumar from their pre-wedding shoots. Franceney and Kumar are huge bike fanatics. So we decided to throw the bike into the mix for their pre-wedding shoot. Enjoy.

I knew this wedding was going to be a great shoot when I first looked Shree-Sai & Anil through my viewfinder  during their pre-wedding shoot. They love each other’s company and they have a great camera presence. They let them be their selves leaving the creating control to us. Result is one of the best [...]

We had the pleasure of covering Hema & Ruban’s (good friends of ours) wedding yesterday.  This is the same day edit (SDE) we came up with for their day. This SDE is a testament to the effort we put into to choosing the right song to match the couple’s personalities and the mood of their event. Knowing [...]

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to put together our first Same Day Edit (SDE) of the season at Cathy and Andy’s Wedding. Cathy and Andy are so laid back and fun loving; Their day filled with plenty of fun/games and emotions. We made sure that we brought all that in their SDE.
We had about 2 hours between the ceremony [...]

Here’s a teaser we put together for Mona and Nauman.  Our teasers are essentially the intro to our wedding DVD’s, which starts the DVD’s and leads to the menu.  We carefully put together these teasers so that they entice the viewers to watch the main feature. Enjoy this clip highlighting the “magical” moments from Mona [...]

A shy little smile,  silly look, or that unexpected kiss;  capturing these small details is what makes an event stand out and be unique.  When working with children, like little Amrita, those small precious moments are what ButterflySquad focuses on.   This  intro for Amrita’s 1st birthday was full of incredible small moments that Ramesh [...]

First of all, our apologies on being slow with the blog update. We are working around the clock to finish editing all the remaining weddings from last season. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our 2008 clients for being patience in getting their wedding DVDs.
Since I haven’t shared anything for [...]

There are less-organized weddings; There are well-organized weddings; And there is Priya and Satyen’s wedding. From the 9 page itinerary we received a month prior to the wedding to up-to-the minute planning of the wedding day, this was clearly one of the thoroughly organized weddings that we had the pleasure of covering this season. Priya and Satyen’s attention to detail and their [...]

Back in July, we posted this Teaser video from Priya & Roshan’s wedding. They brought the “sexy back” into weddings big time. Contrary to their teaser video, I wanted to bring out the traditional part of their day in their highlights. Also, blending in some of the funniest things they had to say about each [...]

Yesterday, we covered our last event of the season - Theepa & Gnanavel’s wedding. We wanted to push the limits to come up with this most challenging SDE(Same Day Edit) yet. The SDE part of this clip was cut within matter of couple of hours as Theepa & Gnanavel only held a “mini” reception right [...]

We were thrilled when Cristina & Laszlo asked us to cover their wedding at a beautiful resort in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. From gorgeous sunshine to the gazebo overlooking white sandy beach, this was clearly a breathtaking wedding location.
I made sure that I took full advantage of this great location along with Cristina & Laszlo’s [...]

Last weekend, we covered Muneera and Ali’s wedding and as a surprise to the couple, we decided to cut a SDE (Same Day Edit) video to be played at their reception.
For those of you, who are not familiar with SDE’s- they are a cinematic recap of the day put together on the same day [...]

We haven’t posted anything for a while. Therefore we decided to share this short ‘Save the Date’ clip we’ve put together today.
Jaynthi & Ranjan were a fun couple to work with and we’re looking forward to shooting their wedding in March ‘09.
Stay tuned for more clips from our 2008 weddings.

Priya & Roshan tied the knot in a beautiful Konkanies Hindu ceremony on July 12, 2008. The ceremony brought together both families in a traditionally elegant way.
However, their reception was all about “Bringing Sexy Back”. The couple set the mood for the reception by performing a choreographed dance to “Bringing Sexy Back” [...]

Premica & Deva got engaged last weekend in a beautiful affair at Mississauga Convention Centre. This is a Love Story clip that we produced for them prior to the event, which was shown on the big screen at the engagement.
Our intention was to showcase their love for each-other as well as their personalities, and what [...]

Double Scoop!!
A few weeks ago, we posted engagement shoot photo sampler of Tharmila & Haran. Last week, they got hitched not once but twice. How cool is that?!?! They had the pleasure of going through the whole ‘getting married experience’ twice! Once with a Hindu ceremony and then again with a Catholic ceremony. I put [...]
