I’ve also found my best friend :: Priya + Varun

I’m super excited to get this trailer out! It was such a lively wedding, I’m always impressed by the amount of energy at Hindu weddings but this really took the biscuit!
Varun met Priya working away in Queens, New York so the use of the ‘Coming To America’ scene during his speech was genius. Really enjoyed every part of these two days.

City of Canals :: Behind the scenes

I teamed up with Reel Vision this summer to shoot a very special wedding, the likes of which non of us have imaged before or are ever likely to see again.  Three epic events took place in three separate venues around Venice’s premier locations.  Tens of millions of dollars worth of structure, furnishing and entertainment were brought together with expert management by the  best in the business.  I am cautious of over egging this story but really wanted to share what we experienced with my you all.  So sit back and take in this humble attempt to represent this stupendous series of events.

Raminder + Manav // Same day edit

Raminder’s father sadly went into hospital at 3 am the morning of the wedding.  Amazingly he made it to the ceremony.  The brides brother spoke of the fact his father cannot communicate but had tears in his eyes on the day, which communicated everything.  I thought using this speech in the same day edit might have been a bit much but wanted to convey the story of this very brave family.

As usual this same day edit was extremely stressful and the film was ready just in time for it’s 10pm showing.  Complications with actually finding somewhere to work made matters worse and I ended up booking a room in the hotel to do my editing in.  I ended up with half an hour actual editing time. No time for colour correction or grading- hence the nasty video-like tungsten cast in the first clips.

The Dolly and spinning transitions are between pre-wedding events that took place simultaneously in Hale and Wolverhampton.

Sabrena + Hardeep // The best in life, end of…

Wow, what a day, or should I say three days!  So much to take in, this event event really blew me away.  I’ve tried to capture the broad spectrum of moods and stories in this trailer but that’s  almost an impossible task.  The movie will be an epic.  not just because of the amount of footage but the because of the quality of the footage.

Hardeep and Sbrena, thanks for your patience, here is your trailer at last.  I really hope you like this taste of things to come.
